You also have to watch an ad every other turn which is a bit excessive. ### 3/5 — LOVE the game, but it freezes! *2026-05-30, version 2.0.24994* I love this game and it’s so much fun for my brain, but it has started freezing all the time, making it difficult to keep playing. Of it didn’t freeze, it would be a 5⭐️ game! ### 3/5 — Glitches *2026-05-29, version 2.0.24994* Love the game but the app is constantly glitching- have to close it and reopen a lot 😕 ### 3/5 — TOO MANY COMERCIALS *2026-05-05, version 2.0.24994* I like that I ca compete with other players, but honestly I want to delete it because there is to many advertisements, like literally and that makes it very annoying to play and for the reason I will delete the game. That one detail makes it bad, I get an advertisement after each play ### 3/5 — Issue with game *2026-04-25, version 2.0.24994* Love the game however I’m having issues with the game. It keeps on closing when I’m playing. Can you please help? ### 4/5 — Great except.. *2026-03-26, version 2.0.24355* I really enjoy this relaxing game, except when the ads stick and you can not continue to play unless you restart your phone. I think I may need to stop playing if this continues. ### 2/5 — 20x more ads than you would expect *2026-03-03, version 2.0.24355* Agree with Legointheelf ### 2/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-02-25, version 2.0.24355* I HIGHLY enjoy this game… HOWEVERRRR…. The ads are out of control. You can’t do anything without an ad popping up every few seconds. I have yet to see an option to buy ad free either like most games offer. I would buy the ad free pass because I play often, but one isn’t available. ### 2/5 — Way too many ads *2026-02-08, version 2.0.24355* A fun concept but the amount of ads is unbearable. 15 minutes of game play costs you as much in the same three ads for Kalshi over and over and over again. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-02-06, version 2.0.24355* I like it ### 5/5 — Great Customer Service *2026-02-05, version 2.0.24355* I came here to say that the customer service for this game and company is wonderful. You don’t see that often in our society anymore, but they went above and beyond when I reached out to them. Even when I was quite a Karen and didn’t deserve their kindness. Thank you to the wonderful staff, especially Mercedes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps closing *2026-05-23, version 2.0.24994* The app keeps freezing and closing mid-turn. ### 1/5 — No swaps *2026-04-21, version 2.0.24994* I have been playing this game foe quite awhile…..I never get to swap letters WHY…not fair!!! So I’m writing once again….this game is frustrating because you cannot change your letters! Once in a game MAYBE you cannot change letters…otherwise you’re stuck with them thru the whole game….otherwise it’s a good game! ### 1/5 — SO MANY ADS *2026-04-08, version 2.0.24994* There are so many ads on this game, you can’t even play. And…. Getting out of the ads is nearly impossible. If I could give 0 stars, I would. ### 1/5 — Too many Add *2026-03-25, version 2.0.24355* The game itself is more or less great, although I’ve come across a few people I suspect were cheating. But the game is hard to enjoy when you’re constantly bombarded with forced ads. Especially in the auxiliary game modes like survivor. I have watched well over 100 reward ads (no I’m not exaggerating—you get experience for watching that many), but I’m still constantly forced into non reward ads. The system to level up is also really slow. Most experience is minimal and requires a lot of playtime to get it in the first place. Fix those two issues, and the game would be excellent. ### 1/5 — 20x more ads than you would expect *2026-03-17, version 2.0.24355* For the love of God you could play for 3 hours and not finish one small crossword with the amount of ads!!!! Fun otherwise but WAY better options available— who wants to WASTE so much time just waiting to play a small game!! ### 1/5 — Ads, app doesnt function *2026-03-16, version 2.0.24355* If you’re looking for an app that is so infested with ads that when you decide to not tolerate it anymore, the app doesn’t function when you “roll” for a new set of letters, you get zero tiles on your turn and can no longer play the game. How scummy is that? But I’m definitely not tolerating an ad every single time it’s my turn, that kind of stuff genuinely will drive me to madness with how my anger issues. Imagine a genuinely crazy person that won’t even say all this but would go out of their way to make you have a lot of bad days? I hope that crazy person finds you ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2026-03-02, version 2.0.24355* This game has way too many ads. You can’t do anything go back to the main screen play a turn any button you press on an ad pops up it’s a horrible waste of time. if you play for a half hour 25 minutes or watching ads ### 1/5 — Unfun, loaded with ads *2026-02-19, version 2.0.24355* I get paid to play this game through another app and I still don’t want to play it. It’s not fun and there isn’t a tutorial (which is probably why I don’t like it). It’s tedious to play and I’m not even going to play it enough to get a pay out bc it’s that unfun. If it also didn’t force so many ads it might be playable. ### 1/5 — Game was fun, but couldn’t enjoy it due to ads *2026-02-07, version 2.0.24355* This game had way too many ads, it’s ridiculous, you couldn’t blink the game weird without a ad ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-02-03, version 2.0.24355* To many ads. I couldn’t move from one screen to the next without an ad playing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-30, version 2.0.24994* So much fun ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-05-10, version 2.0.24994* I enjoy playing this game ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-04-19, version 2.0.24994* Game is quick and makes you think. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2026-04-12, version 2.0.24994* Finally, a game that doesn’t force ads down your throat after every turn. They give you some control over how many ads you see. If you want a lot of the perks, you can opt to watch ads, otherwise, they are minimal. I really appreciate that. I enjoy earning new tiles, too! Keeps it fun. ### 5/5 — Arrow Crosswords *2026-04-09, version 2.0.24994* Love this game. ### 5/5 — Fun and makes you think *2026-04-03, version 2.0.24355* You have to quickly think of words. Makes you use your brain but you’re also having fun while doing this. ### 5/5 — Unique XWords *2026-03-05, version 2.0.24355* I’m glad they have a few training levels because this is a very different type of crosswords. At first I wasn’t sure I would like it but after a few levels it started making more sense and I started earning more points. I like it. ### 5/5 — Arrow Crosswords *2026-02-27, version 2.0.24355* I like the game at first I thought it was difficult but when you get to know it becomes very easy and not as challenging as I thought at first. ### 5/5 — Mentally stimulating *2026-02-20, version 2.0.24355* this game really makes you think ### 5/5 — The sinners *2026-02-20, version 2.0.24355* The time has come so those who chosen and aligned will received the gift of life which is extra by the graces of godddddsssssss --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
