Garbage game

If you can tell me what word means ↩️⤵️ that is ta_st I will update to 2 stars. Cuz there isn’t one. This game makes no sense. I get some answers are not the full line but puzzles were super underwhelming and confusing. I really wanted more from this concept. Please update the puzzles or something it’s a great idea but makes no sense other than forcing the user to watch ads. Despicable.
