### 1/5 — Still disappointed, not accessible

*2019-03-04, version 1.0.3*

I still use old version of Clue Words because it is much easier for me to read in B&W format.  I still play the old version daily for years. My favorite word app.  

I can not read well in this new version because of low color contrast.

Developer, can you add B&W high contrast option?  I’d like to play Parts VII and up and continue playing this app daily.  It’d be great this app be accessible for ppl with low vision like some fonts be in a little bigger font size.  

Thanks.

### 2/5 — Great game but…

*2023-02-05, version 1.0.3*

I really like this game. I’ve played it all the way through multiple times. That being said, there are things I truly hate about it. First, how many times do I have to say Never when asked to review? I mean never means never, not every other board, isn’t that right? Second, no matter how many emails you get at the end, you never made more puzzles. What happened? You lose interest?

Hopefully now, it stops asking me for a stupid review!

### 2/5 — Not so great

*2019-07-12, version 1.0.3*

On my Apple TV when I try to rotate it won’t let me

### 2/5 — Words are good, but pictures?!

*2017-05-26, version 1.0.3*

I was really excited about this game, but each round you have to unscramble a picture. They are hard. It's the only thing I use my coins on and now I'm out of coins AGAIN because of these pictures. It's called clue WORD not clue PICTURE.

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2017-06-10, version 1.0.3*

Love the puzzles. Need More!

### 4/5 — Clue word

*2017-05-27, version 1.0.3*

I love it!

### 4/5 — Short engaging puzzles

*2017-05-03, version 1.0.3*

It's not a particularly hard game, but the puzzles are pretty engaging and short. Good for in between classes

### 4/5 — Game

*2017-04-21, version 1.0.3*

Good game love it

### 4/5 — Yo

*2017-04-20, version 1.0.3*

Yo yo

### 4/5 — Enjoyable game

*2017-04-18, version 1.0.3*

But, I wish there was a way to disable that 'helpful' hint bar at the bottom, which pops up while you're trying to figure out the screen.

It is extremely annoying!

Amazing!!! Very relaxing and addictive game. Good job devs!

### 5/5 — I love this game!

Great challenging but doable game. No annoying ads either. I’ve made some of my own as well! Hopefully more puzzles are coming soon!!

### 5/5 — Great game for getting my mind working

*2021-09-26, version 1.0.3*

This game is great for a relaxing challenge. There’s no anxiety making timer. Some are easy and some are pretty hard but all of them make you look at things differently to solve. I Definitely enjoy this game.

### 5/5 — Lots of quick fun

*2020-02-15, version 1.0.3*

Some puzzles are east, others take a bit of struggle, but it’s fun. Love the photo puzzles, too

### 5/5 — Great Brain Game

*2020-01-28, version 1.0.3*

I think this is great for everyone, but perfect for keeping the grey cells working.  Having you think of lists, then fitting the words together, and hrow in difficult 4x4 picture puzzles. I highly recommend it to the oldies but goodies!

### 5/5 — Love this puzzles

*2020-01-03, version 1.0.3*

It's challenging

### 5/5 — Wow

I love this game

### 5/5 — Addictive and Fun

*2018-01-22, version 1.0.3*

Original and challenging! I'm a word game and puzzle fanatic and this one is a winner. 

Please make the multiple flashing hints an option in settings. It is a bit distracting once you get the hang of the game.

Please add a section were we can play other users "homemade" puzzles :-)

### 5/5 — Please!!  More puzzles!!

*2017-07-31, version 1.0.3*

Need more puzzles!!  Best game!!!

### 5/5 — Great game

Fun, simple but challenging.
