I love this game!!

Great game keeps me focused and thinking…would’ve given 5 stars but the ads are too frequent and they get stuck it on my screen makes me not want to play the game anymore.

Game us great, but

No issues with this game. Play it every day. But the ads are scam sites and Temu which takes you out of the app and opens a browser window. Very annoying. Get better sponsors.

Excessive long ads

Good game until the ‘long’ ads that only disappear after log off/on
Waste of time

SO MANY ADS

An ad basically every turn you take, it’s almost unplayable

Love but ads are toooo long

Love this game but rate five stars but the ads are increasingly extremely long from 60 seconds to 120 seconds that is way too long and if it continues, I will delete the app

Addictive Brain game

Great game for anyone who loves solving things. My only complaint is the inordinate amount of ADS. I am unable to pay the $14.99 fee for removing “most” ads, so I waste a lot of time waiting for the ad to allow me to close it.

Annoying ads and ridiculous price to remove them!

The game is great. But you get bombarded it with ads and if you want to remove ads, it’s for a ridiculous price! Game now deleted it!

£18!!

They want £18 to remove ads. Absolute joke. Is worth £2.99 at most.

Ads and pricing

There are too many ads, right in the middle of playing, huge, obnoxious ads.

I get wanting income from your game, I kinda even get annoying people into purchasing, but it’s like $25?!? I can purchase extremely well done and very involved indie games for significantly less.

It’s a bit of an insult to the consumer. The ads are too intrusive to enjoy playing, the game is too expensive to purchase without feeling like you’ve been fleeced.

I guess there are a lot of downloads, but I wonder how many devices it’s still active on? The daily puzzle I did today didn’t seem to have many players. Perhaps there’s a lesson to be learned here…

Dark mode

I love this game so much but please create a dark mode!

Hate the ads for games that stop you from playing this game

You have to endure endless ads for games that prevent you from playing this game.

Love it

Game is very fun, mind teasing

Glows and Grows

Glow:
1. This game is fun! It helps you give a sharp vocabulary!

2. It works offline!

3. This also helps you beat an opponent

Improvement/Grow:
1. You could add a dark mode.
2. Too many ads, you can lessen the ads.
3. Confusing clues: For example, Isn’t 1000 “K”? I think it’s “M”
4. Some of the abbreviations are nonstandard, so you could maybe remove them?

Ads freeze the game for hours

Been playing the game for years and enjoyed it. Recently they started one page ads between plays. All these ads freeze the game. If I reboot my iPad, I lose my game. Next game goes well until those one page ads appear. Game freezes again. Very much getting tired of this and will soon delete the game if they can’t fix the problem with the ads freezing the game. Big disappointment. Yesterday I just closed the game and the ad popped up from yesterday this morning and it finally cleared. I could finally finish yesterday’s game this morning.

Verdict pending

10 Sept 2026,
Straight of the bat I have a problem.
The game only plays in portrait & only in one direction.
So if my iPad is plugged in I cannot play it without damaging the plug.
Normally I would delete but I like xwords so I’ll persevere for now.
Watch this space.
Developers take note, How about adding in orientation capabilities so the game can be played in both portrait and landscape.
11 Sept update.
Started playing & was bored within the 1st 15 minutes.
When I do crosswords I like to figure it out myself & not have letters put into place by the game.
Needless to say the game has been deleted again & will not be coming back.

Great game! But…

Love this crossword game. It’s just challenging enough to keep me playing yet not too hard where I’ll give up in frustration. I do agree with everyone about the TOO MANY ADS!! I’m getting an ad at least 3x A GAME! $15 to remove them is way to expensive. The ads have gotten so bad I’m looking for a cheaper alternative. Either lower the cost or number of ads

Crossword master

Such a fun game helps you learn new words and alters your brain

Dark Mode would be great

I really enjoy this app. Especially before bed as a way to relax. It would be great if a dark mode option was available for playing at night. Ads are annoying but not as long as other apps so that’s good

Congrats!

You win
