Crashed

Has crashed every time I have opened it. Have since removed.

Constantly locks up

Game locks up 10x trying to play 1 day. Seems to be related to Ads.

Says I haven’t completed games

I appreciate the free games and I have a lot of coins. But twice now it shows I haven’t completed games that I have and wants me to pay to do them. Currently it’s the Explosive word search. I was doing them daily from the beginning. Then after yesterday it shows I haven’t completed the previous ten or eleven games. I will not go back and redo them.

Love the game, but….

Today the app froze twice doing today’s daily puzzle. I had to reboot my phone to complete it.

Update: App froze twice again today.

Update: App froze twice again today. IOS 26.5.2

Bugs

I’ve been playing this game for over 5 years and the past month or so it’s been making my phone freeze and crashing mid game multiple times. Please fix it I love this app sm

App issues

I love the app, but it keeps freezing up. The only way to correct it is to force it closed. When I open it back up, I can continue to play, but most times it freezes up again.

Crosswords with Friends

Most of the time, I have no problems. Lately, I cannot play the game because it is locked and you cannot get into the game and it jitters.

Not as good as it was

Tends to crash with IOS 26. Have to use coins on all the extra word games—and the game no longer remembers what I already did, so I have to start the event puzzles over and over.

Keeps Bugging

Really like this game but for the past few weeks it keeps freezing mid game! Please fix!

Word seeker reset

Once again, the word seeker mini game has reset. I completed each day and now it says I haven’t. I’m not spending coins to redo puzzles I have already completed. I don’t understand how it worked for years and now it keeps breaking.

DO NOT give this one your time until the developers fix it

The game freezes or glitches all the time. You have to completely close the app and reopen to continue a puzzle, but it might freeze again before you can finish one. And sometimes the freeze-ups cause your entire phone to lock up for minutes at a time, and you can’t do a thing about it until your phone recovers itself. I’ve been a subscriber for a long time, but cancelled last week because these issues won’t stop. I’m not giving money to an app and its developers when a simple freezing glitch can’t even be fixed over months and months. Worked for years. Now it doesn’t. Find another game to play because this one is no longer worth your time, unless you enjoy your phone locking up and having to reboot the app multiple times to play a single puzzle.

Same Problem

My game has, also, been locking up for no reason. It would be a shame to lose it after enjoying it for so long. Please remedy this problem as quickly as possible.

It’s that Hit to the head when needed…

They’re not always challenging….but they allow you to keep awake those parts of your mind you stopped using when no longer in formal education. It taught me not to be assumptive about what l know…

Used to be good

I enjoy the crossword puzzles but recently it’s been very buggy. I use coins to buy packs and they either don’t download (download failed message) or they disappear if I don’t play all of them immediately. Tried their help and their “chat” (it’s not a chat, it’s a FAQ and if you don’t have an issue that is in said FAQ you are SOL! I’ve played this daily for years, but deleted it today. I’m tired of building up coins to spend them and get nothing.

Do Not Doenload

I played this game for years, but recently it kept locking up my iPhone 17 and freezing the screen. I was unable to use my phone for 4-5 minutes. I deleted and reloaded the app 3 times, but it still happens.

Glitched

I love this game but it freezes all of the time. I’ve done all of the suggested steps to rectify this problem but to no avail.
