### 1/5 — Triggering words

*2026-04-01, version 1.22*

This game or app whatever has very triggering words put in it like Rvpist R*pe

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2024-09-20*

I like this game as it shows lots of letters and not a few, making it more challenging to look for words. I do wish that you could check off the games you've completed…. Or make them bold one way or another.  Hard to start at the top and remember which one you just completed… or if you want different categories.  Change this and I’d give it 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2024-08-18*

I like this game as it shows lots of letters and not a few, making it more challenging to look for words.  I do wish that you could check off the games you've completed, plus be able to come back to the game where you were instead of starting over and it asking if I want to quit.

### 3/5 — Last row of puzzle obstructed

*2018-03-15*

On my iPad, the last row of the puzzle is partially obstructed by the word bank.  Could this be fixed?  Thank you.

**Developer response:** Very sorry you're having this issue! We didn't intend for the puzzle to be show in a landscape orientation because fewer letters would be shown.  We're working on a fix for this.

### 3/5 — 3/5

*2014-06-26*

To be completely honest, the down side is you'd think you would get a great prize from solving a massive word search... But no, you get the word 'solved' and that's all. If your looking for an app with no prizes or "good" congratulations then this is the app for you, if your looking for an app with a good congratulation on any kind of good achievement, this is not the best!

### 2/5 — Misspellings

*2014-01-18*

I'm giving this app up.  I'm tired of the misspelled words.
