### 3/5 — Review

*2019-08-30*

Sorry for only 3 stars...but I just began this game other day and don’t really have a significant opinion yet.

### 3/5 — Not what was advertised

*2019-08-14*

Advertised completely different from what you get still fun but very easy

### 4/5 — Fun Fun

*2019-07-20, version 1.0.3*

Great fun

### 3/5 — Lost points

*2019-07-14, version 1.0.2*

I love this game, completely addicted. But beginning at level 195 I’m no longer receiving points after a certain amount of plays. I sent an email, but no response. I have purchased a lot of points, so I’m a little disappointed.

### 2/5 — Poor

*2019-07-10*

Filling the present doesn’t do anything.  You’re left with 150 coins unless you buy more for the hints.  The game will mess with your mind too an example being I want to spell the word RULE but it won’t let me use just any E or L even though it’s the correct word and spelled correctly you have to use the one E or L that it intends you to use.  Either don’t have words that need the same letter or make it so any letter at the bottom can be used at any time.

### 1/5 — Rating

*2019-07-06*

It’s hard trying to move the letters across the screen.

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2022-03-01*

My game crashed and I lost everything including what I had purchased. I have contacted support twice with no response.

### 1/5 — WTH missing letter ....

*2020-01-19*

So after buying the add free game ..I played a few levels ..then it shorted me a letter and now I am stuck on that level...nothing I do correcta the mistake of the game 
So NOW what do I do ...already paid money and can’t move forward ...

### 1/5 — Find another game

*2019-12-24*

When you have 2 letters and 2 spots to fill, and the game says your wrong.  Then You have to buy 2 hints, and it spells the words that I tried to spell without the hints.  This game is screwed up.  So you have my money!! This will be the last purchase I make.

Now that I have played a few levels of this game....this game needs some work. I will go find a game that’s a little more honest.  They leave one letter when you tap on a square, giving you to assume that is the right letter, then force you to use a hint.

### 1/5 — Hate this game

*2019-11-30*

This game will make you crazy. They give you a title such as flowers. Several flowers never heard of. Other don’t even make sense. Go back and redo and make your caption match. Shame on you. Get better writers. If for example the title is candy then you should be able to recognize the candy. My husband and I will be deleting this terrible game.

### 1/5 — My choice

*2019-09-02*

Some of us are able to figure out how to play a game, give me the option in your tutorials to shut them off

### 1/5 — FB

*2019-09-01*

Need Facebook to save progress

### 1/5 — Level 419

*2019-08-30*

Nickel was spelled nickle. Which was very confusing. Lots of the other levels were very confusing as well. Not just difficult to figure out, but not even have heard most of the words before past probably about level 300.

### 1/5 — There are some words do not make any sense

*2019-08-21*

So far, I’ve found the word “knight” in the card puzzle. There are no knights in cards. Jacks, yes, not knights.  Second in Mario, there the word “largen”. There is no such word. There are few more that I found that didn’t make sense to the subject and unfortunately I expect to see more.  Please proofread your puzzles and check the dictionary.

UPDATE:  More problems.  Puzzle answers are repeated often from puzzle to puzzle. I must have seen baking answers, Nutella, and more than a few others multiple times. By the time you get to puzzle 200 it starts to get really repetitive. It’s no longer a challenge.   I took two more stars off because there is also the problem with words deemed wrong until they are the only letters left (one of the puzzles had the word date” but I could not get it to register correct until it was the last three letters available.  Also there is the problem with letters not being available to complete a word until you spend coins or go to an ad to access them.  I have had this happen three times. This last one was the puzzle “warm” and the words were “welcome And “smile” and I could not get the “e” because it was blacked out until I used coins to use the bee booster.   This is not fair and if it just a way to get ad revenue or people to buy coins it’s foul.  

Bottom line if you ant a crossword to do, there are better options. Not this one.

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2019-07-25, version 1.0.3*

I bought the 19.99 pack of coins and they did not add it to my coins... Such a ripoff

### 1/5 — I don’t receive my prizes

*2019-07-08*

I play and fill the gift box meter but it doesn’t give me  any prizes when I fill it up it jus starts over. It’s hard enough to get coins for helps

### 5/5 — Slow to add more puzzles

*2021-12-31*

I been waiting for you to add more puzzles to do I already done all 600 puzzles. When are you going to add more puzzles. I enjoy doing these puzzles

### 5/5 — New levels

*2019-11-03*

### 5/5 — Review

*2019-10-02*

Nice Game. It helps me with my brain homework. Thank You

### 5/5 — Different and fun!

*2019-08-15*

I enjoy word games but so many of them are too similar. This one is different and very enjoyable!

### 5/5 — Word

*2019-08-14*

It’s fun and challenging

### 5/5 — Game of words

*2019-08-10*

Fun!

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2019-08-01*

Love this game. Having the number of adjacent spaces on each letter makes a great clue within every game.

### 4/5 — Only 600 levels

*2021-01-03*

I’ve finished all 600 levels and now there’s no more? Couldn’t you add more levels?

### 4/5 — New update doesn’t save activity

*2019-08-15, version 1.0.5*

There seems to be a bug with the updates where if you leave the app part way through a level any progress you’ve made doesn’t get saved
