### 5/5 — Just enough of a challenge to not get bored

*2024-03-28*

Instructions are very easy. Green means right letter, right spot.  Blue means the correct letter falls within the span of letters below the circle AND are before the letter you put in that spot.  Red means the correct letter falls within the span of letters below the circle AND after the letter you put in that spot.

### 1/5 — Directions don’t make sense!

*2023-11-22*

I have tried and tried to follow the directions of blue means that letter is cold and is before the correct letter and red means that letter is warm and is after the correct letter. But it just doesn’t work. Even your samples don’t make sense. I think you need much better explanation. Also, I am rating this a 1 star but the stars are blacked out above and I can’t choose what star rating I want to give this.

### 5/5 — Good Twist

*2023-09-20*

It’s fun app for all of my fellow glossophiles, although I prefer their other Wordle variant: the WordHex app. Try them both to see which you prefer, and remove adds for a more relaxed experience.

Don’t sleep on the Cross Mode (bottom center option) with the mini-puzzles.

### 5/5 — Excellent game!

*2023-05-19*

Great variation of Wordle! I have three suggestions. (1) Clearer initial instructions! Astonishing that a word game could be so unclear! (2) Give us the option to fill in individual letters rather than always starting at the beginning. Put arrows beside the keyboards, for example. (3) Have option to delete whole word. On similar games, pressing Enter for an inapplicable or incomplete word deletes the whole word.

### 4/5 — Bit tricky!

*2023-05-11*

I wanted a harder version of their WordHex and I got it!

### 4/5 — Fun, Interesting Twist

*2023-03-18*

I enjoy this game (mostly the cross mode version) and trying to win in the least amount of steps possible. I only take one star off because there is a lot of repetition where games will use the same words over and over making it easy to guess. Current examples: color, lyric, using, learn, refer. 
PS, thanks for fixing the HINT button up with a “cancel/yes I want a hint” feature!

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-02-15*

A very nice little game.

### 1/5 — Please in French

*2023-02-11*

Thank’s

### 4/5 — Good promise.

*2022-02-22*

I like this app but i can’t get the Apple Watch version to work after unlocking it. There also needs to be a hard mode.

### 4/5 — Fun word game

*2022-02-17*

Another fun word game. It stretches my brain in different ways than WordHex does.
