  • Find Correct Words But Won’t Credit

    Edit: All of a sudden there are no events to play. They usually come back after a few days after the last event ending but it’s been basically a week and no new event. I contacted support and they did not even attempt to answer my question. Where is the newest event???

    For the past few months now I have been finding correct words that don’t show at the bottom as correct when I first do them. I thought it was just me, but it has happened so many times now I can tell it’s the game. I always swipe an “incorrect ” word more than once to make sure I really have it wrong. And then by the end of the puzzle, it’s the word that I was trying four or five times that it told me it was wrong. It gets incredibly infuriating and you need to fix this. I check the spelling in these cases just to make sure and the word is always spelled right, the game just keeps telling me I’m wrong until after I get a few other words.

  • Word brain fun?

    I like doing word puzzles and especially like WordBrain. I really like the extra challenges of 5 .. I don’t like the limited number of free hints that I can earn watching ads and it often seems that the ads are broken. To explain, I’ll click to watch an ad for a free hint and get a message “Video available soon. I have to reboot my iPad in order to get back to the game- and there are no hints. After I’ve accumulated 5 or 6 ads, I can’t earn anymore.
    The other issue that I have with the game is that when I’ve used incorrect letters, and I click on the moving arrow to redo the word, everything goes back to the beginning and although the words are visible, I have to renter them. Right now I’m stuck on an advanced puzzle and can’t figure out how I get the words. Hints don’t help as it is an issue with the order of the words

  • Suggestions to improve

    Like others, I treat my hints like gold and try not to use them. And I don’t want to pay for them. To watch a video and get a free hint is nice, but I feel like there is a problem with the “next hint available in xx minutes” message. It seems like the number of minutes elapsed jumps all over the place and doesn’t match the number im seeing. I’ve even seen it go higher even though time has elapsed. Maybe it’s a glitch? (I play on an iPad or iPhone.) Maybe there could also be other ways to earn hints besides watching ads.

    A big help (to me) and one that seems easy for developers to implement would be to put the letter count of the target words in the words. I’m thinking of something like placing a faint 5 in each of the five boxes of a 5-letter word. This, of course, would be most helpful for the really long words. I waste a lot of time counting them over and over. It’s not sufficient for it to be only in the first (left-most) box in case one applies a hint. One in the right-most box would be okay, but “the number in each box” seems better.

    For the adventure games, please put the level number of the game I’m currently playing on that game board. Am I in Level 8? 9?

    Thank you for your consideration!

  • Daily Challenge Error

    I play this game weekly and normally don’t have issues with it, however this week the Daily Challenge has been having errors. Yesterday my last puzzle of the game was not the same puzzle others had as their last puzzle, it’s the first time anything like that has ever happened. Then, I got that same puzzle today, along with another puzzle I had already solved, as all the answers were already filled in, it was very weird.

    I’ve also noticed that the puzzles in general had become WAY more difficult than previously. For the past couple of weeks that seems to have changed but now these issues are coming up.

  • Super fun and challenging

    Updatedeux:
    I purchased so no ads but now I'm annoyed by the animations after solving each puzzle. When will game creators realize that sometimes we just want to play and don't need cheesy animations🤯

    Update: I hate that if the sound is off in settings, the ads still play w sound. There needs to be a way to keep ALL sounds off if you want it off! Also: TOO MANY ADS! We should be able to play at least 2 or three games before having to sit through an ad again- not EVERY GAME! I sometimes solve a puzzle in 30 seconds then sit through an ad as long as the game I just played👎 I actually lost friends playing Words with Friends because I always won. I love this game because I don't have to lose friends and it is still challenging and fun.

    Hi NeneBee9, we really appreciate the honest feedback about the game's ads. Ads are important to us as this lets us keep the game available for free. This also helps by providing free hints whenever you watch videos. However, we understand what you mean and we'll make sure to raise this feedback up internally so we can check if changes can be made with the frequency of the ads.
  • All good things come to an end

    I’ve been playing this game for a few years now off and on. I like the new update where you can see your solved words after you reset the board. What I can’t stand any the seemingly endless ads for the same game, or any game for that matter. And as of late the game just cuts off while I’m playing.

    Another thing, why isn’t there a way to earn the mega hints? You should at least be able to earn at least one of them every level. Something to consider. Please fix the problems with having to watch videos and not receiving your hints like other users have stated.

  • BEWARE !!!!!!!! I😄MY LAST LEVEL Is UNLOCKED A 5 NOW👏🏻

    NEVER EVER go back to the beginning and punch any of the letters of the very first level because it locks you out of months worth of playing when you have accomplished high percentage of completion. I went back to show my Grandson how successful I had been and he started pushing the 4 letters word when I had accomplished many levels up to 13 or more letters to make one word. Of course, he is regretful and I am devastated. Up till tonight, I would have rated it a 10. It has been the best APP as far as a Word Challenge Game; but, to automatically lose where I had reached is ludicrous.

  • Not working

    I received a message requesting me to contact the developers through the app, however, the app will not stay open long enough to do anything. It literally opens and in a flash shuts down. I’d love to get this game back.

    I loved this game and the challenge it offered on a daily basis, but for the past month or so it stopped performing well. The free hints wouldn’t register after watching a video ad, and then suddenly the app began to just close in the middle of a puzzle. Now when I try to open it, it opens and then immediately closes so it’s not functional at all. I’m very disappointed.

  • Fun but...

    It's fun, challenging but you need a way to earn more free hints without paying for them. I sometimes need a starting letter to be able to get the words. The new update for February was supposed to have ways to earn free hints, but no way. I'm stuck, I've tried every word available and I have a good vocabulary, but I may have to delete it. Right now it's just taking up space. I also keep getting messages on my pad to collect my free hint but when I get on the game no free hint, no way to get one.

    I’m dropping my rating because I just had to use 4 hints because it didn’t give the sign that I could not spell the word in that configuration. I kept trying, and now I’ve wasted 4 hints because I knew that word but was depending on the game to work correctly.

    You can get a hint by watching a video now, but only one every 20 minutes.

  • Word brain fun?

    I like doing word puzzles and especially like WordBrain. I really like the extra challenges of 5 or 5 mini puzzles - like I just finished for Christmas.. I don’t like the limited number of free hints that I can earn watching ads and it often seems that the ads are broken. To explain, I’ll click to watch an ad for a free hint and my screen goes blank except for white dots circling in the middle of my screen. I have to reboot my iPad in order to get back to the game- and there are no hints. Some ads are static- just a picture or a dozen pictures with script below. I usually wait a few minutes before trying to click the x but I need to do it at least 5 times before I go back to the game. More often than not, these picture ads don’t give me another hint. After I’ve accumulated 5 or 6 ads, I can’t earn anymore and when I click on the icon, I get a message “Video available soon” soon never comes so I quit for the day.
