Fake ad the game has trillion ads

I’ll stop playing this game because of Amazon annoying AD 🤬

Fake Ads

Hello, Iam plant your game Crossword Challenge. A malicious,fake Walmart ad pointing to the scam website yineenal.com keeps popping up on my device. The in-app help tool does not allow me to attach files , so I cannot send you the screenshot of the ad. Please block this fraudulent ad campaign from your game’s ad network providers. Thank you

It’s so fun!

Liars

I had a similar game that i really liked but couldn’t stand all the long ads. When I downloaded this one, it was specifically because it’s ad said it had NO ads. That is a lie. Within the first few minutes a message pops up telling you their ads are skip able within 5-15 seconds and then it played one. It was skip able, but I had to click through 4 screens to skip it. That is not what ‘no ads’ means. It is a fun game if you can overlook them lying to get you to download.
