### 5/5 — Great daily puzzle

*2026-08-02, version 3.1.12*

I have been doing these puzzles for many enjoyable

### 4/5 — Great App, but

*2026-07-26, version 3.1.12*

I have played this app everyday for a long time and have really enjoyed it until recently. A good deal of the time now when I open the app, it will tell me my last puzzle is “almost done”.  I have to go in and retype one letter with the same letter to clear it.  It then forces an ad on me to get back to the main page. Quite annoying.
