Could be better

Don’t understand why the orange color is so light and not the same intensity as the green — really hard to read. Plus, today it told me “every” is not a word. This has happened before.

Love This Game!

This is a no frills octordle word game with NO ADS! I play it every night because it doesn’t scream with ads. Very low noise ( only the keyboard haptics) Thank you for a simple yet challenging game!

14 chances again please

Originally when I played this game 14 chances were possible. I have found that often 13 chances are not enough. Please change it back to 14, thanks.

Not functioning

I was enjoying the app but several months into an annual subscription, it failed to recognize that I was actually subscribed. I can’t access any of the categories.

Buggy, issues with coin purchases and submitting feedback

Purchasing coins doesn’t offer much value unless you also have the subscription. The coins I bought didn’t work when I tried to retry a puzzle I had failed. To make matters worse, when I attempted to submit a bug report, I ran into another bug that prevented me from doing so. Overall, this felt like a waste of money.

What happened?

I was really enjoying playing this game and I paid to continue playing the extra categories. Then one day I was locked out even though my subscription continues to be active. I’ve tried to contact Support and have received no reply.

New version has more problems than prior version

I’ve paid for pro but I can only play one category - animals. And replays are locked. What gives?

No Longer Free

This app finally followed all the other money grubbers and started charging money, so I deleted it. Cheers

Great but could use updating

I like this game, play daily. But after a while the repeat in words makes it easy. Another thing, I purchased a year subscription but after the last update it will not let me go back to missed days without another purchase.

Lame

Was hoping for an 8 way Wordle game (like a mini Senecordle) but in this game you don’t have to put in actual WORDS. You can just enter a bunch of random letters turning this into basically a scrambled word game.

Back To Allowing Wrong Spelling

I gave this one star before for the same reason but then it was fixed. If I’m not paying full attention and I have a fat finger press then it accepts the word, it spoils the game!

Too many glitches

2 days now with greyed out letters in the daily puzzle - and not for the first time. Will now look around for an alternative.

Love playing…however!

Love playing this game however, have not been able to get game to work for 3 days, letters stay greyed out, have emailed support but not got any response, please fix issues as really enjoyed playing daily, hope that this issue is not trying to get me to pay a subscription!

I paid $19.99 + tax

I subscribed and paid $19.99 + tax sometime in February 2025. Then when it was having problems I deleted the app then I downloaded it again hoping it would work. But to no avail. When it finally did start working about a week later my subscription was completely gone and I lost my money. I would like to get my subscription back because I paid for it.

Stopped working

I love this game, but am having issues with it not responding now. No letters are turning yellow or green at all. I am not sure why. I have been using the free version and so not know if there is a limit on usage if only doing the one free one each day. I deleted and reloaded the app, still nothing. Tried over the course of three different days. Disappointing because it really is a good challenge. Would give more stars if it still worked.
