There are way too many ads for this game. They pop up every time you make a few plays and then pop up for no apparent reason. ### 3/5 — Locks Up *2026-07-19, version 1.18.0* I enjoy this cryptograph game except it locks up and advanced features don’t work. The only fix is to remove gave and do a clean install. When you do that it starts all over again with the same puzzles. The puzzle of the day very rarely will load and allow a person to play. I even paid to not have advertisements which does make it more enjoyable. ### 2/5 — Ads and Weird Categories *2026-06-26, version 1.18.0* Ads!!!! I had one letter left to finish a puzzle and it went straight to an "ad break". Also, there are categories and it seems like there was always one item in the list that doesn't quite match the rest. For example, in the pizza category, one of the words was ketchup 👀. I'm fed up with games spamming you with ads 😖 ### 3/5 — Daily used to work *2026-04-25, version 1.18.0* Daily puzzle no longer works. ### 4/5 — Good but too many ads *2026-04-11, version 1.18.0* Too many ads..my puzzle is in error..can’t move on. ### 2/5 — Daily puzzle *2026-02-13, version 1.18.0* Not very good with fixing or updating the app. Daily puzzle has been broke for a month. Now I’ve not even able to play at all the past few days. Just spins at loading. ### 2/5 — Why all the lists? *2026-02-09, version 1.18.0* I like sentences, quotes. This list deal isn’t fun and I don’t learn anything new. ### 3/5 — Daily puzzle *2026-02-01, version 1.18.0* Not very good with fixing or updating the app. Daily puzzle has been broke for a month. ### 2/5 — Update?? *2026-01-18, version 1.18.0* Really enjoy this app but since 2026 the app has no update with new games. ### 1/5 — Ad overload and Understatement *2026-01-08, version 1.18.0* This game used to be a fairly interesting game. Now is has diminished to a VEHICLE FOR 2,000,000 commercials. Commercial, commercial, commercial, commercial, commercial, commercial, commercial. I would give it a zero but that isnt an option . Update: CYRILLIC ads at that! Sorry. Don't speak or read Russian. Don't plan on it. ### 1/5 — No more monthly updates *2026-01-05, version 1.18.0* I have played this game for awhile but January daily puzzle has not loaded at all. No updates no daily puzzle. Ill give it 2 more days then im done! ### 3/5 — 1 *2026-01-02* Прошел 100 уровней и потом в игру не заходит( **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, благодарим за отзыв.

Perhaps if I kept playing it would build in difficulty but I don’t do ads. If there’s no way to pay for no ads I will not keep playing a game. ### 1/5 — Ad overload and Understatement *2025-10-19, version 1.18.0* This game used to be a fairly interesting game.

Every time you click on a daily challenge, an error of no Wi-Fi pops up because it doesn’t Work . With the game to be 13+ there are extremely hard levels in this game. No way someone would know a painter from the 1800s. Finally, there is only 101 regular lowest with the addition of what they call rare puzzles, but you have to watch a ad in order to access those levels ### 1/5 — Asking for a rating at the end of level 1, or the beginning of level 2?! *2026-04-27, version 1.18.0* I hate when game developers and programmers do this. ### 1/5 — Запуск игры *2026-04-09, version 1.18.0* Не запускается игра после 100 уровня , что делать? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2026-03-11, version 1.18.0* The app was amazing but now doesn’t load at all… it’s clearly not just me based on the comments ### 1/5 — Реклама *2026-02-17* Реклама **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, Ндллопроо, спасибо за отзыв.

Те, кто пишут, что много рекламы - в чем проблема просто отключить интернет и наслаждаться игрой? А если интернет вам нужен для просмотра рекламы за вознаграждение, то вы, вероятно, очень глупы, потому что практически все уровни можно запросто пройти без подсказок)) **Developer response:** Спасибо за положительный отзыв!
