Thank you all for your sharing of these games. It keeps my brain active 😁 ### 2/5 — New version *2025-04-02, version 1.2.5* I have played this game forever and loved it. Payed for ad free and unlimited hints. New version took away hints. You can find the answers in google but why do I want to pay for only ad free. Sad to say I will not renew membership and will quit playing this game. 😢 ### 5/5 — Learning a lot! *2025-03-31, version 1.2.5* This app provides not only ent but the opportunity to learn new things each time I play. The range of subjects covered is impressive! ### 2/5 — Ads freeze *2025-03-30, version 1.2.5* I love this game. I really do but I about done with it. Why? Because in the middle of the game, it switches to an ad which freezes up and you can’t get back to your game. It wants you to download the advertised app and o won’t let you back to the game. I understand why there are advertisements but they should not prevent you from playing the game you want. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-03-19, version 1.2.5* This is my favorite game. I try to play every day and have for years. Husband and I compete for fastest time. It is very challenging. Sometimes it just feels so good when you know something obscure. It really is worth a try. Sadly you do have to put up with ads; I refuse to pay for any game. ### 2/5 — Useless if you use a VPN *2024-12-21, version 1.2.5* Can’t play the daily puzzle with a VPN. ### 5/5 — Challenger *2024-11-24, version 1.2.5* This game challenges my memory of recalling words and putting letters to form the answers to the clues…and the clock ticks on. I really am addicted to this game. Its fun ### 5/5 — Best word game ever *2024-08-19, version 1.2.5* Love this word game. Helps me focus since I’ve gotten older and have brain fog. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — HELP!! *2024-08-15, version 1.2.5* You solved my problem of getting the puzzles to download. I use Airplane Mode every day. But now I’m having problems with Quick Play. It keeps returning to the main screen w/o allowing play. ### 5/5 — 7little words *2024-07-01, version 1.2.4* Great puzzles too many ads ### 5/5 — 7 Little Words *2024-06-14, version 1.2.4* Challenging enough to stimulate my mind; not so challenging as to be frustrating! Very enjoyable. The only thing I don’t like is when I miss a day of the “Daily” game & have to start over! Can’t go back & solve the prior day’s puzzle. Oh well! ### 3/5 — Change *2024-05-29, version 1.2.4* I'm not thrilled with the update. I want to play 7 LittlevWords and am not interested in points. However, I find I can still play the original 7 Little Words which has always been great ### 5/5 — 7 little words *2024-05-10, version 1.2.4* Love the game but the number and length of the ads make it unplayable. It’s a shame to ruin it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Expensive *2025-03-07, version 1.2.5* Honestly I’ve enjoyed playing this game over the years, but to expect $4.99 every 30 days to continue playing ad free is a bit over the top. ### 1/5 — Classic 7 Little Words *2024-11-05, version 1.2.5* Am enjoying your 7 Little Words. Was very frustrated with trying to get it set up on new iPad, but with help from the developers group, I was able to get it set up. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Hate the updates *2024-11-01* Bought a new iPad. Had to delete old 7 Little Words app and reinstall. Too many problems. Would not let me go to the 7 little words puzzle. It goes to a choice and only one (4 little words or something like that ) being highlighted. The 7 little words is on bottom of list and won’t let you choose it. The only thing my husband and I do is 7little words. Guess we will have to find another game. Too frustrating. ### 1/5 — Ads make it unable to play *2024-10-07, version 1.2.5* The ads are aweful ### 1/5 — Great fun, BUT *2024-09-06, version 1.2.5* You expect me to watch an ad when the game first opens, before I can even play?! I think not! Shame, because it's a great game. ### 1/5 — Ads! *2024-08-09, version 1.2.4* I used to really enjoy this game but now it takes forever to get to the point where the game board shows up. The ad at the beginning is way too long. ### 1/5 — Previous version 5 stars *2024-04-17, version 1.2.3* The previous version was so much better! After several years of enjoying this challenging game, I won’t play anymore if I have to play this version. ### 1/5 — Old game *2024-03-28, version 1.2.3* We want the original game…. Please…. ### 1/5 — Im sad *2023-12-17, version 1.2.3* I have played this game for a long time. Recently it hasnt worked or opened so i deleted it & started over…unfortunately that means that i start from the very beginning with 4 words😢 very unhappy ### 1/5 — So disappointed *2023-06-15, version 1.1.0* Was using this app for a number of years and paid for no ads. Suddenly the app would not work, and I removed the app. When I went to reload it, and where, in the past, it would come back up, showing that it had saved my progress, now it’s an entirely different app and doesn’t acknowledge that I had already purchased it. Further, it’s just altogether different. Very disappointed and annoyed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Adele *2026-09-01, version 1.4.1* Very enjoyable and ,it stretches your mind. ### 5/5 — 7 Little Words *2026-08-21, version 1.4.1* I’ve play the daily game every morning for 485 consecutive days.

Pretty obvious I love this game. ### 5/5 — My daily go-to *2026-07-07, version 1.4.1* My sister turned me on to this game and I play it every day. It’s a great challenge and lots of fun too. ### 5/5 — Love this crossword/jumble game! *2026-06-10, version 1.4.0* One of the few apps I have used every single morning for years for a quick brain boost! ### 5/5 — Nice bite-sized puzzle *2026-05-20, version 1.3.0* This is a super fun puzzle that I do every day. Most days it takes less than two minutes. But some days I really have to think! I totally recommend it. ### 5/5 — Morning Challenge *2026-04-20, version 1.3.0* My husband and I compete on solving Seven Little Words every morning! We love the challenge! This is our favorite game it challenges our brains and makes us think. We are in our Kate 70’s and we need this! Thank you, Nina & Tim ### 5/5 — Sharpens *2026-01-25, version 1.3.0* I like to keep my mind sharpened with words I don’t use everyday! ### 5/5 — Mrs Smiley *2025-12-08, version 1.3.0* Challenging and fun. ### 5/5 — About 7 Little Words *2025-05-01* Absorbing and stimulating **Developer response:** We agree! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
