### 1/5 — Tell us only 50 levels

*2024-04-16*

Be courteous enough to tell us there are no more than 50 levels. Took like an hour to finish.  Love it, but really?  Only 50 levels?

### 1/5 — Child’s play

*2024-03-20*

Way too easy! Does not even try to challenge an adult brain

### 1/5 — Too Easy

*2024-02-17*

Only fifty levels which took about 30 minutes to get thru.

### 2/5 — Fun but need more levels

*2025-06-01*

Only 50 levels

### 2/5 — Half baked

*2025-02-17*

Visually nice and ad free but rather crude word groupings, UI is only semi-functional, and there are only 50 puzzles so don’t expect to play long.

### 3/5 — Only 50 levels

*2024-04-03*

Didn’t last long with only 50 levels🤷🏼‍♀️

### 4/5 — Good game

*2024-07-02*

The game is good but the problem is my game stopped working at 50 and idk what to do

### 4/5 — Make more challenging!

*2024-05-12*

Easy interface and nice visual style, but the clues are almost all at beginner level even beyond the 5th session.  More challenging categories and clues would make this more enjoyable.  Thanks!

### 4/5 — Only 50 levels?

*2024-03-23*

I'm guessing that there are only 50 levels because I've gotten all of them correct, but it won't advance me to level 51. It just keeps redoing the same level/terms.

### 4/5 — cute

*2024-03-05*

this game is so cute but ridiculously easy. i wish the categories were a bit harder, but the categories are just too easy i fly by levels in seconds. not a bad game tho great concept and no ads unless u need a hint, which is really nice

### 5/5 — This is the one

*2024-06-20*

Just downloaded a bunch of these Connections games and this is the best. This is the most similar to the NYT one in terms of difficulty, no ads, simple UI, it even tells you if you’re one word off… props to the dev!

### 5/5 — Bonding

*2024-03-27*

It was fun to download this game with my mom. we would switch phones if one of us got stuck, and since the other had a different pov we would get a line for them! Went through it in like a day though, need more levels!!

### 5/5 — Just like connections on NYT but better

*2024-03-25*

More levels 

Bit more challenging

And better contrast of color

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2024-03-18*

I’m pretty sure I reached the end of it in one day tho. It won’t let me move past level 50, but this is really fun to play. And I like how the only time I see a add is when I need help on a level.
