I can play this anytime. If you're a fan of scramble you will enjoy this!! ### 5/5 — Challenging game *2016-12-17, version 0.91* Have been playing this game for a few days now and it is great. It's pretty challenging though ### 5/5 — Fun Game! *2016-12-17* I ran out of people to play words with friends with so wanted to find a single player word game. This is fun to play on the bus and you can get through a few levels in just a few minutes! ### 5/5 — Like scrabble but better *2016-12-15, version 0.9* This is a great word game!! It's like bananagrams and scrabble but on a phone so you can play on your own 😊 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitch at level 45 and throughout *2021-08-10, version 1.1* I got to level 45 and I can’t select the next game. Contacted app support but no response. During the game you sometimes can’t put tiles on the board which is frustrating and loses you a game. No way to watch a video to gain lives - the option doesn’t click Good game but needs work to iron these issues out ### 1/5 — Unclear and annoying *2020-09-29, version 1.1* I can’t switch the sound off on this game and the instructions on the adventure mode don’t make sense. It’s very frustrating and needs improving gameplay instructions and settings options. ### 1/5 — No instructions *2020-07-14, version 1.1* I wish there were instructions because it says I have to get rid of all the sparkle rocks (?) but I can’t put a letter on one of them. Get word waddle. It’s way better. Just like bananagrams! ### 2/5 — Frustrating glitches *2021-03-07, version 1.1* Tiles won’t go where I want them to and I end up running the clock out while fighting with the tiles. Very frustrating! ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2020-03-18, version 1.1* Good concept , but very glitchy. A lot of the time a tile will refuse to be put in a certain spot and then will move underneath another tile. Very frustrating when the whole concept of the game is speed. ### 2/5 — Great...until you get to Adventure Level 19 *2019-05-30, version 1.1* Also, the tiles are glitchy which causes issues. Level 19 comes with letters that do not make words until you’re out of time. Even if you draw several tiles just to get even an I for the Q, you’ll run out of time and the tiles glitch out. It’s been 100 tries, considering deleting the app. ### 2/5 — Confused *2018-02-12, version 1.0* I would love this game so much more if there were directions on how to use the different tiles. Can anybody tell me what the blank wood tiles do? They are not wild like I thought. I can’t figure out how to use them. ### 3/5 — Fun, but functionality is choppy *2019-02-22, version 1.1* The game is the closest to bananagrams that I can find, but the letters do not drop in all squares as they should and I cannot turn the volume off. ### 3/5 — Frustrating glitches *2018-07-23, version 1.1* Half the time, the tiles won’t stay where I want them to go, as if the squares where I’m putting them are out of play. But they’re not. And the “watch an ad” function to gain a life doesn’t work. Otherwise a fun game. Just really frustrating when you have a good streak going and you end up losing because the tiles wouldn’t stay. ### 4/5 — Promising but a few glitches. *2021-03-13* This game is very challenging and can be satisfying. The complaints I would make are that sometimes tiles don’t stay where you put them or move to where you want and all your time can be expended with such faults, also there are no proper initial instructions of how to play which is frustrating. Similarly there do not seem to be setting controls for sound etc, at least not showing up in my OS. One of the very few games where you’re not bombarded with advertising, and that isn’t so easy it becomes boring. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lawyer having fun *2017-03-26, version 1.0* Really fun game, I'm a lawyer and I still have trouble on the later levels. I can't wait to finally beat that pesky last couple levels, but not really as I will be craving more. ### 5/5 — Really fun even though English is my 3rd language *2017-03-26, version 1.0* I thought I would be bamboozled by the difficulty, but it was actually a great tool for learning and I'm having fun! I am very pleased and can't believe this is free. This hits my demographic perfectly, I would suggest this to anyone! ### 5/5 — Really Fun! *2017-01-19, version 1.0* I keep playing this it's really addicting. ### 5/5 — Really challenging! *2017-01-10, version 1.0* Super fun! Great way to enjoy a flight with no connectivity. Mentally stimulating with a smart game design! Can't wait for more levels to be released! ### 5/5 — Babel Game Review *2016-12-31, version 0.93* Perfect for long car rides ### 5/5 — Hard game *2016-12-31, version 0.93* This game is hard but it's lit ### 5/5 — Great App! *2016-12-30, version 0.93* Engaging and challenging game! Perfect brain teaser for word lovers. ### 5/5 — Fun and addictive! *2016-12-28, version 0.92* Love this game!!! ### 5/5 — Really fun and challenging! *2016-12-20, version 0.91* This game is really fun, but be warned... it is challenging! I had to laugh at myself a few times on the words and non-words I keep trying. ### 5/5 — Not your typical word game! *2016-12-17, version 0.91* Babel is a clever twist on the word scramble genre. The unique board layouts and obstacles on each level make solving the puzzle that much more satisfying! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
