I gor zero words when I actially should have gotten about 40. I tried again and same thing. I am deleting this. Apple arcade is pretty much worthlesd. ### 3/5 — Too many repeat levels *2026-08-10, version 1.11* This game would be a lot better if there weren’t so many repeat levels and if there were more people to play head-to-head. ### 4/5 — 👍👍👍😍😍😍 *2026-08-10, version 1.11* Ok ### 3/5 — Repetitive *2026-08-02, version 1.11* The letter election soon becomes repetitive, in the online game. To the extent you can make “arse” pretty much every game. ### 4/5 — Lots of repeats *2026-06-30, version 1.11* It’s fun, but the boards repeat frequently - to the point that I all but have some memorized! ### 4/5 — Fun game - No longer working *2026-06-28, version 1.11* The game is fun, although I wish there was a bit more variety in boards. Have not been able to play recently as the game will not load. Impossible to access the app as suggested to another player - the screen is blank, no menu items are visible. Please fix. ### 4/5 — It won’t work *2026-06-25, version 1.11* I loved this game. Just recently it stopped working and won’t bring up the screen where you actually play. It loads, and the screen is blank. Not sure what’s happening. I removed it and then reinstalled it, and it still doesn’t work ### 3/5 — Stuck on round not finished state *2026-06-23, version 1.11* In Multiplayer, second round, at the end of the round, the state remains "yet to play." When I click on the round, it starts with the clock run down to 0:00, ends, shows me the score, and when I then click Next, I am returned to the Round Summary with the round status still displayed as "yet to play." Endless loop. I suppose there is a round-complete boolean state variable that is toggled implicitly and it got toggled twice, when instead it should be explicitly set to finished. ### 4/5 — Boring 1 point away *2026-06-08, version 1.11* All most 5 ### 4/5 — Addicting, But Issues After A While *2026-06-08, version 1.11* I genuinely am so addicted to this word game, however there are issues that arise after a while. I have been given the same exact board with the same exact challenge over a dozen times with no stopping. Puzzles might be glitching a bit here. Also there a many words that are in the dictionary that are not able to be used here. This is definitely an issue. ### 4/5 — Fun but could use more challenges *2026-06-04, version 1.11* I love Boggle but do wish this version had more solo challenges. It's very repetitive, as in, the Adventure mode uses the same grids over & over. It's most obvious in the levels that are "x letters only". If you fail a level, it automatically makes it much easier on the next try which isn't fun for advanced players. I wish there was a Hard mode to make it more challenging. ### 4/5 — Unexpected but entertaining *2026-05-19, version 1.11* There are a lot of game modes but ultimately, it does make a good Boggle game. It would be nice if the tutorial was skippable though ### 4/5 — Fun game *2026-05-15, version 1.11* Very fun game to play but there is one bug that is annoying. If you close the app while playing a game and then go back to finish, it’ll allow you to finish but the game then that game gets stuck in resume mode and you can never actually finish it and the game ends after 5 days with you losing. Other than that, fun, addictive, and great to play. ### 4/5 — Not all words recognized *2026-05-06, version 1.11* Wont accept "chaos" ### 2/5 — I feel like this game could be improved in a lot of ways *2026-05-05, version 1.11* 1. Resigning from a match is an extremely tedious process. 2. It would be helpful if you could view match history with other players in multiplayer mode. 3. The game is glitchy at times, especially with multiplayer mode. Some matches are permanently stuck in “Your Turn” mode, regardless of how many times I ‘complete’ them. 4. Not sure what to do with the endless amount of coins. 5. The UI is pretty bad. ### 4/5 — Nothin’ much *2026-04-26, version 1.11* I fun game to play when you’re bored ### 3/5 — 2 Letter Words *2026-04-22, version 1.11* Game is lots of fun but get rid of the 2 letter words. ### 3/5 — Good but very buggy *2026-04-20, version 1.11* I love this game but it's so buggy. If you like Boggle or similar word games, you'll likely love this. But if you multiplayer, you're eventually going to run into huge issues that really degrade the quality of the game. Sometimes rounds get stuck mid-round so the other person can't resign or move forward. Other times, a stale round will turn into a different game mode. For instance if you start in “Power” mode and play your turn, then the other person doesn’t respond, and click the round again, it’ll lose progress on the previous game and start a new round in “Classic” mode. All of this means I have ten games in my queue that I can’t win or lose, they just hang in my inbox. It makes for a frustrating user experience on a game I’m otherwise super addicted to. ### 2/5 — Please fix bugs *2026-04-16, version 1.11* I love the game but stop playing when the famous multiplayer never-ending game bug arises. It means I cannot finish a game because it is perpetually my turn, even when I’ve taken my turn. Please please please fix this long standing bug! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Algorithm sucks *2026-07-01, version 1.11* The power mode is ridiculous. One on one best two out of three …nope, in fact when I reached out to support for and explanation to how the winner is decided I didn’t get an actual reply just a thanks for the question we’ll get back to you. Played against three opponents who never completed their turns so we never finished three games, I had the higher score of the rounds that were completed and the opponent was given the victory. Makes no sense. ### 1/5 — Used to be my favorite game *2026-06-02, version 1.11* Boggle keeps speeding up their AI so it's impossible to win. I loved playing "the experts." I can no longer beat the "easy" one now. ### 1/5 — Glitches /can’t play *2026-05-22, version 1.11* After splash screen this game blanks and crashes. Have reinstalled and same problem. Playing on iPhone 17Pro with updated system. ### 1/5 — Flaws and fake words *2026-05-20, version 1.11* Developer gives fake impersonal responses. The same when reporting issues. Update: The app has a bug where a level ends before the board is even rendered. When this happens, the app thinks you lost without finding even one word (obviously). What happens if you lose, the game gets condescending and gives you a much easier level. And what do they offer when I report the glitch. “Please record your screen in a video.” Uhhh! Why would I buy screen recording software and record 2 hours hoping to catch the glitch that the developer clearly could care less about.. So, “repost” is not a word but “teargases” is a word. Yes, spelled just like that. 🧐 Look it up. Playing against the app when the app cheats is frustrating to say the least. If I get a bad word grid, as in not enough “real” words for me to meet the score goal, it offers me to “try again”. At that point I think I would get the same goal with different letters, but no, I get a lower goal as if I can’t reach the goal. The other issue here is it thinks in terms of cheat words. Another issue is the 9 two letter words goal. It’s mostly the same words every time. Many of these words are also not words. This goal becomes nothing but an annoyance. Playing the built opponent is also unfair. The game counts all these fake words against me, so then I lose too often. This is not Boggle by any means. ### 1/5 — Super repetitive *2026-05-09, version 1.11* For a nearly infinite number of board possibilities the idea we get the same board over & over & over & over again is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Buggy and frustrating *2026-03-11, version 1.11* The multiplayer mode is glitchy and consistently full of issues. It’s frustrating and makes the game worthless. ### 1/5 — Flaws *2026-02-26, version 1.11* Developer gives fake impersonal responses. The same when reporting issues.

Not very fair IMHO. ### 1/5 — Real words? *2025-12-27, version 1.10* So many of these words are not standard English or even slang that I can find. It’s still very playable. But I have no idea what dictionary, if any, it’s used to vet the vocabulary in this game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2026-07-08, version 1.11* Obsessed ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-05, version 1.11* I ❤️this game xx ### 5/5 — Boggle *2026-06-12, version 1.11* I love the skill builders! ### 5/5 — Great Word Game *2026-05-26, version 1.11* Important to keep mind busy and see how many words you can create. ### 5/5 — Keep calm & Boggle on *2026-04-27, version 1.11* Find this game relatively relaxing. ### 5/5 — Boggled *2026-04-19, version 1.11* Fantastic game.
