### 5/5 — Brain strain 💪

*2026-08-29, version 1.0.3*

It took a few tries to truly get it. Once you get you should love it.  It definitely strains the brain but it’s great exercise!

### 4/5 — Love the game, hate the ads

*2026-08-19, version 1.0.3*

Love the game, hate the ads. Would love an option to pay to get rid of them.

### 2/5 — Game is cool - but the ADS.  OMG

*2026-08-17, version 1.0.3*

Isn’t there a paid version?  The ads are killing me.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.3*

Quick, freewheeling game!

### 1/5 — Meowduku?

*2026-07-26, version 1.0.3*

What’s with the adds? Just get rid of them! Seriously, nobody wants to play meowduku!

### 5/5 — richtig peak

*2026-07-16*

kann man offline spielen und es kommen gefühlt nie werbungen 
das sind KEINE ausgedachten worte; anerkannt werden worte, die gültig beim scrabble spielen sind — das gleiche system haben fast alle von diesen wortgames [scrabble wort index findet man btw online]

### 5/5 — Ad-free

*2026-07-09, version 1.0.3*

Love the game but I’d like to spend a few dollars to never see one of those stupid ads again. Add this option and I’ll be even happier

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2026-07-07, version 1.0.3*

Part of my morning ritual. My friend & I share our scores daily too.

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-07-03, version 1.0.3*

Fun game but not worth wasting my time with the number of ads.

### 5/5 — The ultimate game

*2026-06-24, version 1.0.3*

Great word guessing game. I really like how it isn’t more of a chance and gives you the clues it does. A daily need.
