Deleted instantly😊 your not special ### 1/5 — If I were you…I wouldn’t *2025-11-18* There is nothing to this “game”. So simplistic it almost isn’t there. It froze my device as soon as I finished the first round. ### 1/5 — They’re asking for over $100 a year to play this game *2025-09-17* You can’t be serious with these prices. And the free version will constantly pull up a purchase screen and make you anxiously think you might’ve bought a subscription ### 1/5 — Bruh *2025-08-24, version 1.9* This game me and my cousin were trying to play and it literally was on the easiest setting and it was possibly the hardest thing I’ve ever done… but it might be cuz we’re just slow?? And the letters on the keyboard were too tiny ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-07-30* The layout makes this impossible to play. The keyboard covers up the last line so you cannot complete the grid. Don’t waste time on this. ### 1/5 — Oops *2025-07-20, version 1.9* Grammatically incorrect ### 1/5 — Not great *2025-05-22, version 1.9* They repeat the words over and over. ### 1/5 — Would have been fun *2025-04-28, version 1.9* But forced subscription? No thanks. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-04-22* I’ve been seeing people on TikTok play a game kind of like this. If that is what you’re looking for choose another one or go online and play it. This game is honestly a waste of my time. I go in and try to play it and it’s great that we can get a hint if we get it wrong, but you only get to play it once per day. And at that point, I either forget about the game or I go in a day or two later and it’s still loads in That I still didn’t get to finish the game. So I put the words in and finish it and then that’s it. It’s bad at reloading and giving me new rounds. I click refresh and then it says to come in tomorrow meanwhile, I’ve already done that round. Don’t get this app. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2024-12-23* This is a money grab app. You are only allowed to play one game and then you are forced to wait another day to play another game. Or pay a weekly or monthly fee. Useless. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-11-06, version 1.9* I don’t want to pay for it ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-10-29, version 1.9* Can’t even play with out big fees. No one wants a game that’s over $100 a year ### 2/5 — Two puzzle limit?? *2024-10-22* You have to pay to keep playing. You have a Daily limit of 2 games before you have to pay?? Ridiculous. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Uses *2026-07-09, version 1.9* you only get 3 uses a day before having to play it’s so annoying!!! don’t download ### 1/5 — Lopsided *2026-06-09, version 1.9* Very American Culture, gun control, room service for example. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-08, version 1.9* I have to only play a daily limit ### 1/5 — Seriously……another subscription *2026-06-04* You can’t have anything entertaining without a freaking subscription. This is not the type of game people pay to play. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2026-06-01* Makes you pay for a subscription to play ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-05-31, version 1.9* Only two a day is crazy ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2026-05-26, version 1.9* Need to buy a membership or you get 2 games a day. Not worth it ### 1/5 — Nonsense *2026-05-25* So many words are grammatically incorrect like the game was created by someone who English is not their primary language. And then today- Rica Costa. Seriously?! SMH and deleting this app ### 1/5 — WHAT IS A WALK TREE *2026-02-05, version 1.9* So many words that do not make sense together, Buds Light, Sense Test, WALK TREE, it’s nonsense! ### 1/5 — Outrageous *2025-12-12* You only get to play like one or two games in my game is glitching. I’m not gonna pay hundred and something dollars a year for this game and it’s not even worth it if you would make a free version I bet you’d get a lot more people to play but if you want to you better make it free so please make it so it’s free or we can play more games a day if we don’t wanna pay thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jenalise *2026-02-18, version 1.9* Valdivia ### 5/5 — Review *2025-12-29, version 1.9* Fun game, would never pay for it though ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-03-05* Engaging enough to keep you interested and busy but not so difficult that you become frustrated and move on. Kind of mediocre brain play. Fun to do!! ### 5/5 — Fun! *2024-07-27* Great brain game for a challenge every day ### 5/5 — Actually enjoyable *2024-06-24* You get differnt modes that actually allow you to have fun or a challenge ### 5/5 — Best brain game! *2024-05-05* Love this game to keep me sharp, I saw it first on TikTok and it’s so rewarding to finish a game. You get better over time as your brain trains for this and it’s very rewarding! ### 4/5 — Please fix *2024-12-16, version 1.9* I can’t see the last sets of letters at the bottom ### 3/5 — Problem *2025-03-21, version 1.9* This seems like a decent game, but the bottom row of letters is obscured by the keyboard. ### 2/5 — Great but 1 a day? *2026-04-05* It’s overall a good game, but I can only do one a day which kinda gets me really mad and not to mention when you get to the last word on a couple of devices, it will block the last words so I need to just guess and I can’t see the word at all socan you please fix these cause I have to pay to continue playing for more than a day once a day ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-07-18* fun at first but once you keep playing new rounds it starts having more glitches. i finished a round a month ago and every time i go to play this game it gives me the same level each time.
