If you liked Wordstorm, you'll love this

Simple, engaging game. Just wish the menu was on the bottom like Wordstorm. And maybe a timer option. Great game and well worth the money.

Keeps my brain & mind active

I have the Wordstorm game by the same person and wanted to try this one. I love it! The crossword type layout gives you clues at to what other words you can make from the letters

VERY FRUSTRATING GAME

Love WordStorm, but not this one.
Not a relaxing experience.
Not recommended.

Love it. Maybe add dark theme please?

Developers only reply to people they know.

00,04/ Weds 24 Feb 21/ Bewilderword is a favourite and we compete when able, although with migraines (me) and cluster headaches (friend) there’s times when one or both of us can’t look at the screen. / 🌷 Sean, could you consider a dark theme option please on opening page & calendar views? Maybe slate grey? It would be the cherry 🍒 on the ice cream. kind regards.

Bug issues (or user stupidity!)

I’ve run the game once, played for 30 minutes, shut it down. Now when it loads I can only purchase the back catalog of puzzles for $5.99, no other button responds. I’m sorry but one brief play is not enough to justify turning $6 of a fixed income to the developer.

I like it but…

It’s a great time killing game that I feel gives my retired brain a bit of a morning workout. My only gripe is that sometimes foreign words are allowed and sometimes not. Otherwise I’d have given it 5 stars. Well worth the small fee, especially as it goes right back to Jan 2012 so plenty of games to work through.

iOS 15 issue

Quick fix, Thank you❗️

Doesn’t seem to work with the new OS! Hope it is updated soon…

Fails to Load on iOS 15

Good game but crashes immediately when trying to open the app after the recent iOS update. Please fix asap.

Weird English rules

Doesn’t accept “binge” but “amigo” is fine?!

Fix the jerkiness!

This is my absolute favorite game and has been for a long time, but I wish you could make the letters move more smoothly. The jerkiness is distracting.

I bought it and . . .

Ok. The free puzzles were, say, at one a day, only a few months worth. I liked the game. Each word you insert gives you clues to the harder ones. Easy to get stuck, and, eureka!, find your way put. Just enough of a challenge,and satisfying to get it done.

So I bought the game. Five bucks or so. And . . . only ten years worth of puzzles! Ok, If you do 2 a day, only five years, but still . . .

Ok seriously. A great little game and a definitely NOT greedy price. Very, very nice work, Mr. Sean. :)

Spring for the Whole thing

Updating as of May 2020:
I bought the whole thing for around $5.00 or so. It’s such a fun game and buying it gave me every single puzzle back to 2010 or something. I’m making my way through day by day. It should take me awhile.

The one quirk I would like to see addressed is that the developer is obviously from the UK. Some words are mixed as being slang or colloquialism; I’ve lived with that. But then he should also not use British terms that are slang or colloquialisms in the US. It should work both ways.

I still love it and play till my eyeballs hurt on some days. It’s exactly my cup of tea.

Previous Review:
It is actually quite a fun game, but I agree with the first review - the price is steep. It can be like feeding an addiction. There should be a better way for the developers to make their money back… I guess I'll exhaust the “free” set and be done with it. Pity; I was so enjoying the game.

Daily fix!

I play this super word game everyday, but Sean, what’s wrong with seahorse/s today? April 4th.

Response from developer

I used a dictionary I found online to generate the puzzles, and I guess they considered it to be spelled "Sea horse" rather than "Seahorse". BTW I play every day and I have done since Feb 2017 - it's the only one of my games I regularly play!

Almost Perfect

I normally don't like word games, I have dysgraphia, and spelling has always been a problem for me. I don't know how much this game is helping my spelling but between my mom and I we can almost always get a 100% on each puzzle!!
Two problems I have with the game are: One, there needs to be a way to sync the game, so that you could play on both your phone, and tablet!! Please!! Two, there have been a number of words that have seemed VERY odd! Some seem to be two words, while other just sound wrong to the ear.
Other than that it is a great game!!

Bewilderword

Love this game. Wish it was a free game.

Great

Another great game from this developer. Just a couple of problems. First, it sometimes demands US spellings even when in UK mode. Second, since the last update, it is no longer possible to recall all the tiles from the area where you try to construct a word, just by double tapping next to them. Now you have to recall them by double tapping on each individual letter. That is tedious and could usefully be fixed please.

Update please fix

I have just updated and really disappointed that I can’t double tap on the word bar to get the tiles down to start the word over again. Please fix as it’s my fav game and I’m finding it really frustrating. Thanks

Enjoy it; but, family share broken

Really enjoy the game. Especially in the morning over coffee with the wife; however when we wanted more had to be individually even though the developer says it supports the “family sharing” Apple Store feature.

Too much money

Great game but really expensive and monthly - too many other games out there where I won’t go broke

Favourite

I've loved this game for so long and have re-downloaded it a couple of times so I can do it all over again. After the latest update, however, I really don't like the jerky motion of the tiles - it has really put me off playing the game. It's disappointing, because I think this developer is great, and I frequently check to see if he has anything new to try.

Thanks anyway for the game, it's been one of the best I've tried.
