Ads make you lose a life even though you already guessed the word, and the game freezes after 21 words. Can’t play this unfortunately, and I’ll look for other lingo-like games. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-10-12, version 3.0.19* I couldn’t even see the hint. I have an iPhone 11. Please update. I downloaded the game all because I liked the show. ### 5/5 — Just like the game show⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2021-10-01, version 3.0.19* If you remember Lingo from GSN than this is the exact replica of that game! One comment said ads were intrusive but there are few ads, especially compared to other games. Definitely something I can deal with considering this is so fun!!! Thanks for developing your his app!!! ### 3/5 — Awesome Game! *2021-08-18, version 3.0.19* I finally found a game that I really liked as a word game enthusiast. Unfortunately, I got to 944, correctly guessed the clue and then the app crashed. Now I’m extremely frustrated. ### 3/5 — Adverts stop game. *2020-12-21, version 3.0.6* I still don’t like the fact that you can put in any gibberish instead of words. But, in answer to another person’s complaint, I do like words that are not common because it is good for people with a wide vocabulary. But now, when the advertisement for another game comes up and takes over the screen, you cannot get out of it, so your Lingo game ends because you have to restart Lingo. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2020-06-06, version 3.0.5* Something happened to game. No longer shows which letters are n the word and/or in the right spot. And does not acknowledge the correct word. I deleted and reinstalled and still nothing. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback The problem you are writing about has been fixed in the latest version of the application 3.0.6. ### 4/5 — Broken *2020-06-05, version 3.0.5* My game isn’t working. It’s not highlighting the letters I have correctly placed. **Developer response:** Hi, The problem you are writing about has been fixed in the latest version of the application 3.0.6. ### 2/5 — Weird words *2020-05-02, version 3.0.3* Weird uncommon words at least for the United States anyway. Oaken, Billy etc. Used to be fun but now it’s not because of words I’ve never heard of or would even think of. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback The dictionary has been updated. We invite you to play Lingo! ### 2/5 — Some changes not good....used to be the best Lingo *2020-02-08, version 3.0.3* Too many difficult words and they need to omit proper names like BILLY and PG13 words like the 'P' word for a males private. I'm serious! It was there!!! ### 2/5 — Awwwww *2018-05-30, version 2.0.1* Awwwww...why did you have to go and fix what wasn’t broken?? Graphics are distracting. I’m not six years old!! Geeze. ## Frequently asked questions about Can you guess the Words? ### What is this app about? This app is a word guessing game inspired by the popular game show Lingo.
