And those that have them usually don’t work ### 4/5 — Good games *2026-08-23, version 8.15.5* Enjoy the games but adverts are a pain ### 3/5 — Review of 7little words *2026-08-17, version 8.15.5* Some of the words are just too far-fetched and don’t apply to the general public ### 2/5 — Ads are manipulative *2026-08-08, version 8.15.3* The ads are very difficult to exit from. I have finally figured out how to do it, but it takes forever. As a result, I no longer play on the phone with my long distance 97 yr. old aunt who struggled so much trying to get out of them to get to the next puzzle. ### 2/5 — Today’s puzzle *2026-08-06, version 8.15.3* Pennsylvania does NOT border Canada. Who is doing your research 🙄 ### 3/5 — Re-rated *2026-07-27, version 8.15.1* Used to be a great app! However, I’ve seen a huge difference in the last updates. Ads are becoming more often and they are becoming longer. Can’t play a game without having to watch an ad first. What has happened to you as a company? You sold yourselves out that’s what! You’ve become another one of those companies who puts ad farming over experience. Never thought you would. ### 5/5 — Feel good about yourself *2026-07-26, version 8.15.1* That's what happens when you simply mail Seven Little Words on a sunny morning ### 2/5 — Fake ads *2026-07-24, version 8.15.1* I understand the developers need for ads, but there are a lot of obviously misleading and probably illegal scam ads. They really should be filtered out. ### 3/5 — Used to be more accessible. *2026-07-23, version 8.15.1* I'm a voiceover user and I used to love this game. Not anymore. I can sort of work it, but it's not as accessible as it used to ;. ### 5/5 — Great diversion. *2026-07-23, version 8.15.1* Not timed. Challenging and satisfying. ### 2/5 — Ads galore! *2026-07-20, version 8.15.0* It’s getting harder and harder to close apps so you can actually play a game. SO frustrating! ### 5/5 — X *2026-07-17, version 8.15.0* Too many ads ### 5/5 — Keeps me thinking *2026-07-17, version 8.15.0* I have played this game since 2021 and i enjoy it. It keeps me going ### 5/5 — 7 Little Words *2026-07-16, version 8.15.0* Fun little game! ### 5/5 — 7 LITTLE WORDS *2026-07-15, version 8.15.0* FANTASTIC DAILY PUZZLES AND PRICE ### 3/5 — Ads that won’t go away *2026-07-14, version 8.15.0* These were some of my favorite games. But I kept running into these ads that were lasting long and some wouldn’t even go away unless you would order something from them. I understand the need for ads and if they want last for 10-15 -20 seconds, I don’t care. But I do have to have the option to get rid of them after a reasonable time if I don’t want it. ### 3/5 — Lots of bugs lately *2026-07-12, version 8.15.0* The content is lots of fun, as always. But the app has developed quite a few bugs in recent months that make tackling the puzzles a frustrating experience at times. I hope they’re fixed soon. Otherwise, it’s fun and educational. Three stars for now. ### 3/5 — Ads that never close *2026-07-09, version 8.15.0* I really used to love playing 7 Little Words & More. However, more & more lately it takes HOURS to play. You ask why.... because of ads that NEVER close. Some have taken more than 24 hours to close. Some of the latest ads that never close - Pixel Flow!, Magic Sort & Candy Crush anything. I realize ads for other games are one of the ways game makers make money. What game makers might want to realize is that some people want to actually want to play the game they downloaded & will never want to download games of ads that never close. Also, I don't understand why, after I've been lucky enough to finish a game, I am forced to watch ads - some of which never close - to get to the next game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inconsistently normal *2026-07-15, version 8.15.0* Most of the puzzles are made at a level that normal people with normal vocabulary skills can easily grasp. However a few of the puzzles are way too difficult and seem to be aimed at showing how smart the puzzle composer is and how ignorant we, the public tying to solve them, are. I wish the normal puzzles were more consistent. ### 1/5 — Stupid Words *2026-07-08, version 8.15.0* The words often chosen for these puzzles are ridiculous and often made up, misspelled or unbelievably vague. For example, words will be appended with “ingly”, “ish”, “lyness”, etc resulting in stupid words like “orangeish”. Clues occasionally don’t accurately define the target word. Stupid clues like “5th largest city in Wales”. Initially the puzzles were fun to solve, now it seems the words and clues are developed by foreigners with little understanding of the English language or by “children”. ### 1/5 — Horrible ads *2026-06-23, version 8.14.3* No way to get out of the unwanted ads for Mahjong without shutting off phone. A waste of time. ### 1/5 — Viruses! *2026-06-18, version 8.14.3* Have been playing this for years but just recently, after completing a puzzle, I keep getting banners that my phone is infected with a virus. It’s some sort of nasty ad and the only way I’ve been able to get rid of it is to turn off my phone. Completely unacceptable! ### 1/5 — So many ads 🤯🔫 *2026-06-16, version 8.14.3* AVOID! Used to love this game but lately the ads are out of control. Much better versions available ### 1/5 — 7 little words *2026-05-24, version 8.13.8* I liked the old format better! ### 1/5 — Deceiving ads *2026-05-22, version 8.13.8* Love this game but the ads are terrible. I got ads that popped up like a virus scanner telling me my device has been compromised. I got ads that cannot be closed - had to restart the app. ### 1/5 — lock up my tablet *2026-05-10, version 8.13.7* I deleted this app because it keeps locking up my tablet. It’s done it 4 times now. ### 1/5 — FREEZING, CANNOT PLAY *2026-05-08, version 8.13.7* I pay for this game and this is literally unusable. CONSTANTLY locks up. Tried closing the app, restarting and STILL does this after updating the app. What is going on?!?! FIX THIS NOW!!! ### 1/5 — Subscription benefit disappears *2026-04-15, version 8.13.2* I purchased a yearly subscription and it worked great for 3 months, with NO ads. Now, even though my subscription is paid for another 9 months, it’s useless and a waste of money as I’m bombarded with ads. What a rip off! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Seven Little Words *2026-08-15, version 8.15.5* It’s such a thrill to figure out which meaning the clue. There are more than one meaning of many words. Enjoy the mental exercise. Always a challenge ### 5/5 — Every day . . . *2026-08-12, version 8.15.5* I do these puzzles everyday to keep my mind sharp. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-08, version 8.15.3* Have a lot of fun! ### 5/5 — 7 little words *2026-08-08, version 8.15.3* Enjoy this game I complete them everyday. I do not care for all of the ads, especially the ones regarding weight loss. They go on forever. I don’t mind the short ads, but the longer ones take away from the game.. ### 5/5 — Every day . . . *2026-08-08, version 8.15.3* I do these puzzles everyday to keep my mind sharp. ### 5/5 — Fun, engaging and supported *2026-07-31, version 8.15.2* I’ve played 7 little words every day for years. It’s fun engaging, clever and well done. On rare occasions I’ve had an issue and contacted the developer and received almost immediate, helpful feedback in every case. ### 5/5 — Fun little game *2026-07-30, version 8.15.2* The game is fun; I play it at night to relax. It’s not too hard but not too easy! ### 5/5 — Still going 😁 *2026-07-29, version 8.15.2* Thank you for these word puzzles. I really enjoy them all, except for Hootle, that kind gives me angina cause if I get it wrong- then there’s a bad mark left to see😑until the new month rolls round. But I still enjoy them all and thank you again! I don’t mind the commercials either just speed them up please 😁! ### 5/5 — A Morning Delight *2026-07-29, version 8.15.1* Words can be so much fun. I love the daily challenge - learn a lot too ### 5/5 — Fun, engaging and supported *2026-07-29, version 8.15.1* I’ve played 7 little words every day for years. It’s fun engaging, clever and well done.
