### 4/5 — UK or US English?

*2020-12-28, version 6.0.3*

I enjoy this app, especially the flexibility of challenges.  
Only one gripe:  
I have it set to UK English, so I don’t expect to find American spelling or words that are defined as North American. 
I’m learning new words, which is always good, but why offer a UK English setting if you’re not going to stick to it?

### 4/5 — Toujours pas optimisé pour les derniers écrans

*2020-10-25*

J’aime beaucoup ce jeu, mais contrairement à ce qui est mentionné dans les notes de version, cette dernière version n’est pas optimisée pour les iPad et iPhone récents. La totalité de l’écran n’est pas utilisée. 
C’est dommage. 
Souhaitons que cela sera corrigé rapidement.

### 3/5 — Code words

*2019-06-05, version 5.4.3*

Not bad but annoyed to find that it is compiled using American spelling, I mean ‘connexion’, really!!!

### 3/5 — .

*2018-12-25, version 5.1.4*

I wish there was an option to remove the ads.

### 5/5 — Addictive and Enjoyable

*2018-01-28, version 5.1.4*

Really enjoy the game and the levels of difficulty are great.

### 3/5 — Good up to a point

*2018-01-10, version 5.1.4*

If they changed the layout of the letters I would give this app five stars.
Putting the letters in alphabetical order is really irritating, I cannot automatically type them but have to search where they are. Putting them in a keyboard arrangement seems far more logical & user-friendly.

### 4/5 — Anti Dementia Machine

*2017-10-14, version 5.1.4*

A grand little aerobic workout for the old grey matter, if a bit too Yankee at times. But I guess I do know what a plebe is now...

### 4/5 — Ab Fab

*2017-08-25, version 5.1.4*

Never been a better game option than Codeword ever.
 Ever challenging ever enjoyable. I never tire of it and always and always enjoy each challenging option I complete. Would recommend it to anyone. Definitely a 10/10 5 star purchase.

### 4/5 — Challenging Puzzle

*2017-08-25, version 5.1.4*

Good app, worth the extra to get the ad free version. The American spelling in some of the words is a little off-putting at times.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2017-08-20, version 5.1.4*

Love this App. It keeps my brain active. I like to try and do it in less than than a minute. I don't very often but it is fun trying.

### 5/5 — Code words

*2017-06-02, version 5.1.4*

Brilliant word 
Puzzle, love it.

### 5/5 — Codeword unlimited

*2017-04-22, version 5.1.4*

I used the free version for ages but the ads were distracting and annoying so I spent the princely sum of 99p to get the ad free version.
Now I can concentrate.
Good challenges and easy to change grade.
I find there are rathe too many American words and spellings but I just try bizarre words and they are often correct.
I woulf recommend this codeword game to anyone.

### 4/5 — Fun and good brain teaser

*2017-02-27, version 5.1.4*

Easy to use

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2017-02-23, version 5.1.4*

I like the game for the mind agility portion, but the penalty times for checking are excessive. I like to check often. Why be penalized for it?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I want my money back!!

*2025-12-14*

6 euros for nothing :(

### 1/5 — Update ruined the app

*2020-10-23, version 6.0.3*

Can’t even open the app now after the latest update. It is only showing the details of the latest update and no way of getting out of that page.

### 1/5 — Effacement efface

*2015-09-13*

Man nulle.Pas de touche effacement.....

### 1/5 — Great time killer

*2014-08-14, version 4.2*

Basically, that's what I use the games for, to kill time waiting for things. This is a great app for that, it stimulates without boring, and challenges without frustrating.

Puzzles are good, configurations are ample, words are challenging.

I have only two requests:

Put a New Game button on the menu bar so I don't have to go to the menu all the time.

Provide an option not to have a timer, or a pause button. Sometimes I have to stop the game to get back to life. Saying it took over 24 hours to complete a game is unrealistic.

### 1/5 — Jeu

*2013-09-14*

Jeu très intéressant, captivant, je passe de très agréablement moments

### 2/5 — 'New design

*2020-11-04, version 6.0.3*

The new design is hideous and distracting... the entire game has been dumbed down.  I have played this for years and now I am loathe to even open it.

### 2/5 — Code word unlimited

*2020-10-11, version 5.5.1*

I would enjoy this much more if the letters weren’t inserted everywhere automatically. I find it more satisfying and therapeutic if I have to look for the squares in which to put the letters.

### 2/5 — Broke

*2018-10-24, version 5.1.4*

An interesting game, but it regularly rejects common words. For example OWE and ALAS.

### 2/5 — Проблема

*2013-09-25*

Не запускается, черный экран при попытке запустить игру.

### 3/5 — Code word

*2019-08-17, version 5.4.3*

Fun but watch out for US spellings, which can be confusing .

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-02-06, version 6.2.3*

Hours of great puzzles, i play every single day.

### 5/5 — Code word Unlimited+

*2020-08-14, version 5.5.1*

A very good game BUT I do think the use of scientific words such as NAPHTHA is unsuitable for the majority of players.

### 5/5 — Hours of fun

*2019-07-24, version 5.4.3*

This well-designed app with a range of levels and challenges. I like being able to review my personal stats. It was worth purchasing to avoid the interruptions from adverts and game demos.

### 5/5 — Codeword

*2019-01-01, version 5.1.4*

This is my Constant companion. It is my way of fighting of dementia and so far it seems to have worked. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Code word

*2018-12-11, version 5.1.4*

One of the best word puzzle online games available. Very well designed, accurate and fully detailed, and almost totally free of bugs.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2018-11-17, version 5.1.4*

Tried free version but as others have said the ads were very annoying for mature adults. Well worth the upgrade.
Love the new winning animations.

### 5/5 — No adverts!

*2018-10-14, version 5.1.4*

Can't think why I stuck with the free version for so long. Well worth 99p for freedom from irrelevant advertisements!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-08-23, version 5.1.4*

Love to play keeps the mind active

### 5/5 — Very good ap

*2018-04-16, version 5.1.4*

Find this quite challenging am enjoying it

### 5/5 — Pleasantly surprised!

*2018-03-13, version 5.1.4*

Very happy with this purchase. Great size on the iPad, nice and clear and it's so good not to have ads. Also bought the crossword version and pleased with that too.I Like the levels of difficulty and the clean interface. Well done!
