### 4/5 — Great!!

*2026-07-07, version 6.2.3*

Apart from the American spelling this is a brain teaser where you really do need to think!!!!!

### 3/5 — Mots codés

*2026-06-16*

Très intéressant, mais difficile de comprendre le début du jeu

### 2/5 — Very poor.

*2026-02-21, version 6.2.3*

This game regularly excludes letters like Q and J etc which is simply lazy.  Also the words included are very limited so after a few levels it becomes far too easy to guess them.

### 2/5 — Ad heavy

*2025-08-18, version 6.2.3*

Bit too many ads

### 3/5 — Codeword revisited

*2025-07-17, version 6.2.3*

I like this puzzle; It helps centre concentration and stimulate creativity; It is interesting that to try a tangible codeword puzzle in a paper feels harder and more challenging. I’d like to have some more challenges ~~ Keep them coming 🥰

PM 4teo hrs❣️❣️❣️💊❣️❣️❣️

### 3/5 — Well written app, awful and long ads

*2025-03-28, version 6.2.3*

The ads really let it down.

### 2/5 — Испортили всю игру !

*2025-03-05, version 6.2.3*

Испортили всё приложения 
Сейчас куча реклам и требует настойчиво соглашение , без права отказаться !!!
Была такая хорошая игра , без рекламы , зашел , поиграл и всё 
А сейчас пока с этими согласиями и рекламами разберешься , уже играть не хочется и закрываю игру

### 2/5 — Слова используют всевозможные.

*2024-12-02*

Невозможно нормально разгадывать. 
Кто бы когда догадался- четырнадцатью

### 2/5 — Adverts

*2024-11-02, version 6.2.3*

I’m disappointed because I paid to get rid of ads weeks ago and I’m annoyed they’re still there please check this out

### 2/5 — Too much time watching ads

*2024-09-16, version 6.2.3*

I would like to play the game but the ads take up most of the time

### 4/5 — Too many adverts

*2024-06-18, version 6.2.3*

An advert even when you reset a game is a bit ridiculous

### 2/5 — Continual cookies preferences spoils app

*2024-02-21, version 6.2.3*

Why do you feel you need to ask my cookie preferences each time I open app? This used to be a great app but it has been spoiled by having to pick out cookies I don’t want each time I load it. If they are not remembered next time I shall be forced to delete app which will be a shame.

### 2/5 — Leider nicht mehr so toll

*2024-02-04*

Ich halte Werbung von 60 Sekunden völlig überzogen.
Und dann nur auf ein Abo.

### 5/5 — Mr

*2024-01-28, version 6.2.3*

Great real fun but it always easy

### 5/5 — Super Zeitvertreib!!!

*2023-12-14*

Es macht mir richtig viel Spaß, meine Zeit damit zu verbringen.

### 5/5 — Great game, few ads

*2023-09-02, version 6.2.2*

This is a nice simple app, no bells and whistles, just good sensible gameplay. There are very few ads which is a huge bonus.

### 4/5 — Whoops

*2023-08-22, version 6.2.2*

Today’s update has made it unusable on iPad. Large screen on left and unable to see any buttons.

Thanks for fixing it. I really enjoy your app!

### 1/5 — Good. But.

*2026-03-07, version 6.2.3*

Gave up on the game. I did really like it! But I’m not blindly agreeing to all the ‘consents’. And it would take too long to turn them all off — and there are a lot! So? — 1 star and deletion. Bye bye.

### 1/5 — Ну и слова

*2024-09-05*

Вы вообще следите за словами которые используете ? Буккакэ ? Пошла гуглить что это такое и сильно удивилась 
Обогащаете словарный запас активно , ничего не скажешь

### 1/5 — Not actual code word

*2023-08-27, version 6.2.2*

Terrible app - doesn’t actually give you the number that goes with the letter, and is all ads

### 1/5 — Unplayable!

*2023-08-20, version 6.2*

What has happened to this game? No longer fits on my phone screen and has become unplayable. Deleted it. 🙁😡

### 1/5 — Too many adverts

*2020-09-28, version 5.5.1*

Way too many adverts. Deleting

### 1/5 — Used to be great, but sure isn’t now.

*2019-12-22, version 5.5.1*

Pity. I don’t know what you stupid makers have done, but it seems you’ve spoiled what used to be an excellant word game. I can’t play it anymore as a result.

### 1/5 — Very easy

*2019-12-07, version 5.5.1*

Not enough variety in word choice.  Can be easily guessed.  A lot of words repeated between levels.

### 1/5 — Codeword Unlimited

*2019-09-24, version 5.5.1*

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU😡 I have been playing this game for years with zero ad interruptions, and what on earth is this CRAP ABOUT showing letter is wrong, and being able to try another WITHOUT AN IDIOTIC PENALTY!! I am extremely upset, because this was the best app ever for Codewords! Not anymore ‼️🤬

### 1/5 — Needs work

*2019-06-23, version 5.4.3*

Every timeI open the app the apple games center opens, which is very annoying and unnecessary, as it’s not required to use the app. This has to be removed

### 1/5 — Rubbish app

*2019-04-13, version 5.4.3*

I have played this for a few weeks.
Now the puzzles are unsolvable.
Seems this is just a way to get advertising dollars.
Avoid.

### 5/5 — Hard to put down once you start.

*2026-08-18, version 6.2.3*

This word puzzle is hard to put down once you start , with different levels it is suitable for the vast majority of of players.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-19, version 6.2.3*

Love this game I play it most mornings keeps the old grey cells working…..

### 5/5 — Better than the book

*2026-07-03, version 6.2.3*

I used to get the book for Code Crackers this is much better!

### 5/5 — A great game

*2025-06-17, version 6.2.3*

I’ve been playing this for years and still play it every day.  Love it!  
Tip: if I get myself into a happy state of mind before hitting "New game", the puzzle is easier.  No kidding!

### 5/5 — Words

*2025-03-29, version 6.2.3*

Very good

### 5/5 — Codeword

*2024-09-01, version 6.2.3*

Really enjoy this very varied puzzle.

### 5/5 — Code word

*2024-08-15*

Simply time passes, excercise for the brain. I love it

### 5/5 — Personal choice

*2024-06-24, version 6.2.3*

Love the categories of level, brilliant but I really dislike the adverts every two games played and it takes forever to get out of them! If the App is free, why the Ads?

### 5/5 — MOTS CODÉS

Ce jeu reste après plusieurs années mon jeu préféré. Je ne peux pas m’en passer.

Très divertissant
