you have to pay

you get a limited amount of games each day and if you want to play more you have to pay

Almost, not quite

This was gonna be great, but no. There is a chain of 8 words. The key pad covers the bottom half of word 7 and all of word 8.

To make matters worse. Once done w/ the puzzle, it does not encourage you to move to next puzzle; stagnant.

This game has a lot of hope, but needs work.

Would not let me scroll down

When I was playing I couldn’t see the last word because it wouldn’t let me scroll down so I rated this game a 3/5

Not good

I downloaded it and I was like sweet a game I like but when click refresh it told me to get a subscription like I’m not getting subscription for this game

Pay to play

2 dollars a week to play. You only get one game before you have to pay. If I could give 0 stars I would.
