AMM ### 5/5 — Great Game *2024-05-03, version 19.0.5* Great Game ### 5/5 — Simple to learn and challenging to master *2024-03-25* A simple letter matching game that will give you enough easy boards to be addictive. However, it will catch you with that frequent dilemma of which choice to make to allow you to complete the board. Do not expect to win every time. It is frequently a situation of “I’ll play one more game” for me. ### 5/5 — ABC by SZY *2024-03-19* Enjoy this game so much….good for my brain! I use this lots.

Please fix. Ads hide the Play button. ### 1/5 — Hate the new version *2025-11-22* Since the update and the reduced hints etc, the game seems un-winnable. I understand that there is a paid version but I am unable to find how to get it. In another review the developer says to get the version that does not have “ by SZY ” in the name. Where? Cannot find it. Cannot find the cost of a subscription. I have been playing the free version for years. At this point I may just delete the app. Not happy at all. **Developer response:** Please try the new update of the free version. Or find the paid one at https://shenzyapp.com/app/. Thank you very much! Please enjoy version 22.3 with restored hints! ### 1/5 — Awful Update *2025-11-19* I used to love this game and got all my family hooked on it. Played it last night and although I didn’t manage to clear the board I had fun. Today 19/11/25 there are adverts in the way, my colour settings were changed. I’M NOT HAPPY! **Developer response:** Please set your color again. Sorry for the inconveniences! Please enjoy version 22.3 with restored hints! ### 1/5 — I HATE THIS LATEST UPDATE! *2025-11-19* I have been playing this game (paid version) for quite a while and loved it. But after this last update things have gone really screwy. The description says that I should be getting a reshuffle feature, but if it is there I can’t find it. Also I should have two hints and two undos. But I only have one each. Then I made the ultimate no-no. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Now I can’t find out how to do a restore to get back my points and get rid of the ads. And I STILL CANT FIND THE SHUFFLE FEATURE AND I ONLY HAVE ONE HINT! **Developer response:** Please make sure you have downloaded the Paid version to restore. The paid version’s title does not have by SZY. Thank you for your review! Sorry for the inconvenience. Please enjoy version 22.3 with restored hints! ### 1/5 — One of my *2023-01-07, version 16.9* Favorite theor ### 1/5 — Ad scam *2022-10-29* I paid for the ad free version of this game some time ago and have enjoyed it immensely. The latest update now has annoying ads that I can’t get rid of. What gives? ### 1/5 — Why suddenly ads *2022-10-28, version 16.2* I have played for years. No ads. I believe I paid for it. Why ads now? ### 1/5 — Crashes too much *2018-04-13* This is a fun game but it crashes all the time. It needs some tweaking, when there is no more matches why let me continue to play the game for a while before it says no more matches. ### 1/5 — Doesn't Open *2017-09-11, version 9.3* This app will not open. Crashes on iPad. Not even worth a star. ### 1/5 — Impossible de jouer... *2016-08-01* Ca bug tellement que l'on ne peut même pas débuter une partie... Lamentable... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Magnifico *2026-07-07, version 23.2* Mejor Difícil! ### 5/5 — Captivant *2026-06-29* Infiniment intéressant.
