Very well designed. Minimal ads. Highly recommend if you like word games. ### 5/5 — A great, chill word game! *2025-06-12* For those of you who enjoy word puzzles, this is a great one! Fun artwork, chill & jazzy music, and a great variety of words to unscramble and put together in crossword-like arrangements. You can adjust settings to make the puzzles as easy or as complicated as you like, and there is a good hint system if you find yourself frustrated and stuck on a particular word. The free version gives you plenty of time to try everything out, and I love the extra content in the full version. Try it out! ### 5/5 — Delightful puzzles *2025-05-23* Cute game that is simple to understand, and fun to play. Very satisfying to slide the tiles around and experiment with different words. So well designed and executed! A real winner. ### 5/5 — Cute cat game *2025-03-23* This was a very fun game to play each day and I completed all of the cat pictures. Can’t wait for more content! ### 5/5 — Fun word game with no pressure *2025-03-21* Simple game play (drag and drop tiles to spell words) but with the twist that tiles are marked with threads that indicate which letters are in each word, which makes this harder than it sounds. But there’s no timer, so no pressure to finish. The art is simple but delightful - the game is a joy to play. ### 5/5 — Super cute word game! *2025-03-15, version 1.91* I love this cute Scrabble-esque game! It is fun to work towards revealing each picture. The art is adorable. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — I love cats, puzzles, and games!!! *2025-03-13, version 1.91* this game is the best, I love it so much, there are so many puzzles the cats are so cute!!!🥰 ### 5/5 — Loving it *2025-03-08, version 1.91* Great game and great support from the developers. I happily paid $9.99 to support this and them. ### 5/5 — It’s the PURRRR-fect game!!! *2025-02-19* Fur Real!!!!! This game is Purr-fectly Pawsome! It is nice to not have ads unless you need a hint. Getting accessories for cats is a Cat-tastic way to spend an afternoon. It is an easy interface and the fact that you can choose the length and number of words you want is a Purrfect Match! I bought the Treat Package and the bonus cat is so much fun. I am still finding fun things about this game (click the cats for some fun!)! It's the Cat's Meow fur sure! Best game of the year! ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-02-18* I enjoy this game very much and use an anagram solving app to help me out when I get stuck solving a word or two. Very relaxing to play knowing that I have that backup solution. ### 5/5 — This game is the best!!! *2025-02-18* I love cats, I love word games, and love cat puzzle games. ◣　　　　　　◢ █◣　　　　◢█ ████████ █　▎██　▎█ ███◥◤███ ████████ ◥██████◤ 　　◢██◣　　　◢ 　　████　◢█◤ 　　████　█ 　　████　█ 　　████◢◤ 　██████ ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-02-15* I love this game!! The concept and design are so cute. I really enjoyed how there are alternate word endings for each puzzle, such a unique feature! I also appreciate that there is no penalty for using hints, and that you can choose every option (number of words/letters, difficulty level, etc.). It’s very calming and easily one of my favorite word games. Highly recommend!! ### 5/5 — Cute word game *2025-02-11* I love the adorable art! Fun word game that will make you think about letter placement and alternative word options to make each puzzle work. ### 5/5 — Cozy word puzzle game for everyone *2025-02-08* This game is adorable and addictive. I love that you can modify the difficulty and points to suit your style of the moment. ### 5/5 — Great new word game *2025-02-07* Fun to have on your phone when you feel like something mentally stimulating ### 5/5 — It’s the cats pj’s *2025-02-07, version 1.71* This fur is fun! I cat’n get enough! If you’re bored you should download right meow :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-06-29, version 1.107* I increased my privacy settings and now this app gets stuck on the loading screen. Update: I tell you the app doesn’t load and you tell me to use a menu in the app? Is there any actual intelligence on the App Store or is it all slop now? ### 3/5 — Need improvement *2025-02-15* While it’s a nice game. The game initially stated that they would share hints for free. They never elaborated that it was just that game. It was quite the surprise when the other puzzle hints needed payments or videos in order to utilize. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know! In the "How to Play" instructions, you mean? We'll definitely reword that to clarify. Please email us via "Contact" under the game main menu, we'd like to give you a promo code to get rid of ads. And feel free to provide any more feedback. We appreciate it! ### 4/5 — Review *2026-06-24, version 1.107* I thought that it was a relaxing word game that made me think. ### 4/5 — Great Game, One Suggestion *2025-02-18* Good word games are hard to come by. This is a good one. Artwork, ☑️. Music, ☑️. Tile-click sound, ☑️. I have one suggestion. Some space at the bottom of the “board” to be able move/slide the tiles around, like you could if they were on a tabletop. Having to move them around on the board, they always click into a straight horizontal or vertical line. It would be smoother, and dare I say more realistic, to be able to slide tiles around freely to try to find words. Just a thought… Otherwise, very good game. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the suggestion! We will discuss and consider. Glad you're enjoying the game! ### 5/5 — Beautiful Art and Gameplay *2026-05-03* This is such an addicting game to play! I really enjoy the different difficulty levels and clever illustrations. It's also really refreshing to see hand-drawn artwork in the age of AI! ### 5/5 — Great puzzle game! *2026-05-02* I love this app! Just found this, and I love the puzzles and being able to set the difficulty. If you like crosswords and word games, this is the game for you! Totally worth the purchase too, supports a great cause! ### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging *2026-04-24, version 1.103* What a FUN surprise! It’s a little like scrabble or any anagram game but with ropes to guide your board. All yellow ropes go together but one of the yellow ropes will have another rope leading in the opposite direction. Words can’t touch so you may need to rethink where you put the E in swEatEr. The mechanics are helpful so a long press will let you move a word or a group all at once. Very handy when the word you begin with needs to move towards the top of the game board. As you move the board will ‘step back’ (idk, technical term) and more rows and columns are exposed. You don’t usually need them but it’s a cool feature. I haven’t tried HARD words yet but you have that option. And you can choose how many words are on the board, and up to how many letters. For now, 4/24/26, 7 is the max and I usually set mine on 7 and 7. I haven’t played such a new and challenging game in ages. Try it! ### 5/5 — Purrfect *2026-04-07, version 1.103* A wonderful, cute, cat themed word game with a selectable difficulty setting ### 5/5 — Challenging, fun, relaxing *2026-04-05* What a great game! So glad I found this! It’s relaxing, and yet because you can adjust the difficulty, it can be very challenging if you want it to be. But you can take your time with each puzzle, so it’s not stressful. I love the art design. And the UI is very intuitive. You can adjust all settings. It’s good on battery too and the file size isn’t huge thankfully. I immediately paid for the Treat Package to get everything in the store (especially endless mode), get rid of ads and support the developer. Plus you get unlimited hints if needed. I appreciate the fair monetizing. You don’t have to buy anything, or you can buy just a couple things if you want, but the full unlock is fair, so I was happy to do it for a good word game. Thank you, developers! This is the word game I’ve been looking for. The cats make it all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend this game! **Developer response:** We're so glad you're enjoying the game! It really means a lot to us to hear the positive feedback. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Love This Game *2026-03-27, version 1.103* Cool art, and the game can be as challenging as you want it to be. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cozy Word Game *2026-02-21* The game is very cute and relaxing and the puzzles are fun. No major intrusive ads like most mobile games which actually made me more happy to support the developer by purchasing everything (and it helps a rescue!). Keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review and your support! 😸 Glad you're enjoying the game. ### 5/5 — I love this game, *2025-10-12* And I would definitely make an in-app purchase to support it, but I need some descriptions. I don’t intuitively know what the different items are. Obviously I know what "remove ads" does, but what is "treat package?" What is "Autumn Cat?" ### 5/5 — Relaxing yet challenging *2025-10-04* I love this app! It requires thought without adding stress to your already-crushing day. I love the cats, the challenge, the options to turn music on or off and personalize how hard you want the words to be. The atmosphere is comforting. Excellent game! ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-07-03* This looks exactly like what I’ve been looking for. A word game that is enjoyable, a bit challenging, and can be picked up anytime. Very clever idea with the threads, as they provide a bit of a hint to the puzzles. FYI purchasing Unlimited Play does not remove ads. And purchasing Remove ads does not provide Unlimited Play. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
