I don’t like this updated version and have deleted the app. Twice. I reinstalled it to see if you brought back the original version. You didn’t. I deleted it again. I will come back from time to time to see if it’s back. And the ads are excessive. ### 4/5 — I’m confused… *2026-08-10, version 2.0.12* I’m not the most intelligent person, but of 123 games played, I’ve won 119. I don’t have actual friends to play with, but could you make the bots smarter? For example…toward the end of a game, there might be 7 possible openings, and the bit opponent has 5 tiles in their hand. The but rarely plays more than 3 of them, guaranteeing a win for me. I’m bit opposed to winning, but my goodness, I would rather lose and be challenged, then contributing to puppy-kick the bots. ### 3/5 — Options removed *2026-07-18, version 2.0.12* Since the latest update, I can no longer cancel game requests from players I prefer not to play with. I realise they are bots but some names are triggering. I also cannot get to the Home Screen while in the middle of a game. I still enjoy the game though so hoping these issues can be fixed. ### 4/5 — Love the game, but *2026-07-10, version 2.0.12* Great game, but too slow to advance with the constant ads. I even paid to avoid the ads, but I’m still getting them! ### 3/5 — AI *2026-07-09, version 2.0.12* Wish the AI opponent was smarter. ### 2/5 — No real players? *2026-06-26, version 1.49.2* Is this game AI competition only? I want real people to play against. ### 4/5 — Fun, but… *2026-06-18, version 1.49.2* Fun! But way too many interruptions by ads. Slows game down and frustrating. ### 3/5 — Loved this game but *2026-05-14, version 1.49.1* I’ve been playing for several months but now it’s changed. Don’t like it as well. ### 2/5 — I like it, but... *2026-05-01, version 1.49.0* You should be able to play real people. What a bummer, because I like the game. Playing bots gets old real quick. ### 2/5 — Spelling *2026-04-27, version 1.49.0* Whoever is developing the puzzles for this game needs to learn to spell. I have had several games now where the words have been misspelled by adding an e on the end to make it work or just spelled wrong all together. Game is pretty good otherwise ### 4/5 — Crozzle crossword puzzle *2026-04-22, version 1.48.6* I tried this app and I didn’t get enough tiles to make a word it is a good game but I find it is challenging and quick but some one come to play who is competitive ### 4/5 — Good but not great *2026-04-17, version 1.48.6* I love the game & would’ve given it 5 stars, but I hate to being able to sign in to an account and play between y phone & tablet to keep my level regardless of which device I’m on. To me that’s the only downfall ### 2/5 — Some perverted clues *2026-04-16, version 1.48.6* Too many ads and some of the clues are quite perverted so be careful with the younger audience ### 2/5 — Ignorant *2026-04-12, version 1.48.5* There are many hints and answers that are absolutely racist and/or homophonic ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Offensive clues and answers *2026-06-23, version 1.49.2* That are homophobic ### 1/5 — BS *2026-06-04, version 1.49.2* This game was on a site that pays you to play. They paid me for the small amounts I earned, but when I earned $20, they claimed they couldn’t track me. Be careful if you’re doing this for money. Great game, but the provider does not always pay. ### 1/5 — All opponents are bots *2026-05-24, version 1.49.1* This game got boring really fast. I didn’t download to play against bots… got bored with bots…should be real players. ### 1/5 — Hate Changes *2026-05-15, version 1.49.1* This was my favorite game until it completely changed this week. Now I hate it! I enjoyed playing one person with 5 tiles. Now, I’m being asked to play several games at once. Challenged by tons of people. Wanting me to get hints or redo a move. I don’t want all that stuff. I don’t even get 5 tiles. It was fun relaxing and low key. It’s not now. It’s stressful! I wish you would put it back but I know you won’t. Now I have to find a new one. ### 1/5 — New version *2026-05-13, version 1.49.1* Thanks for ruining a game I liked the new version sucks ### 1/5 — Falta o Português do Brasil *2026-05-08* Coloquem a língua Portuguesa!!! **Developer response:** Olá!

Sua opinião é muito apreciada! ### 1/5 — THIS GAME IS RIGGED *2026-05-06, version 1.49.0* The algorithm is relatively simple to figure out if one looks for patterns. None of the 5 letters drawn are actually randomized and the app adapts to your playing style in order to lead you to a similar result each time. Here’s the general order: 1. you start off strong for the first few rounds 2. by mid game they are catching up 3. about 85% thru you will be neck-and-neck with the AI opponent 4. for the last part of the game you will win (likely by 10-30pts). How do I know this? Because I played exactly 50 games and I’m a demon at pattern detection. Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself. Focus on successfully netting the word either in the far left column or the very top row. This test works even better if you can figure out what the word is early on into the game. You will likely not score these words because, eventually, when you get down to the last letter or two in that 7 or 9 letter word, the one or two letters that you need to complete the word will remain astronomically elusive. I spent 8 refreshes (8 refreshes x 5 letters = 40 attempts) trying to get a single letter. I never got it. The AI did, however, and on its very FIRST ATTEMPT. In fact, I noticed a tendency for the AI opponent to get the best scoring words for almost EVERY SINGLE GAME. DESPITE ME ALREADY KNOWING WHAT THE WORD IS, I *SOMEHOW* ALWAYS LACK THE LETTERS TO SNAG IT. GOSH, THAT’S SO WEIRD… I seriously pity the people who have actually spent money playing this rigged game. Although, I’m sure that the devs are happy just raking in the profits. There are also WAY TOO MANY ADS. Expecting an actual test of skill in a fair game with randomly drawn letters against an AI opponent? LOOK ELSEWHERE. ### 1/5 — Annoying Ads *2026-04-19, version 1.48.6* The ads are UNBEARABLE! Challenging game but the ads take away the fun. You can stop ads for 30 days and then pay again. One ad popped up and would not clear until I downloaded it! ### 1/5 — Scammed *2026-04-18, version 1.48.6* Great game but it scammed me on an offerwall ### 1/5 — Not what is in the ad *2026-04-13, version 1.48.6* This is just a 2-person crossword puzzle with pics. Not like what is in the ad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the game - excessive ads *2026-07-17, version 2.0.12* This game is wonderful however, the ads are the same food companies and the same high price models, but they have different names of companies. The food is the same, and the models take up all the ad, smiling in the camera and acting like they are the purchaser.Bad advertising. ### 5/5 — Great brain workout! *2026-06-28, version 1.49.2* Just that it’s a great workout for you’re brain ### 5/5 — Awesome Word Game! *2026-05-23, version 1.49.1* Takes strategy planning your next move. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-04-18, version 1.48.6* Great way to take up time ### 5/5 — Great game ! *2026-04-07, version 1.48.5* Great game play, not inundated with an over abundance of ads. A bit harder probably for young or beginner crossword enthusiasts, but enough to keep seasoned players coming back. Especially enjoy having multiple games at the same time. The artwork is a bit juvenile, but everything else is so well done. Enjoy ! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-03-31, version 1.48.5* Makes you think, I need that! Too many commercials ### 5/5 — jeu *2026-02-04, version 1.47.0* aimerais choisir les joueurs ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-12-27, version 1.46.2* I enjoy this game very much. I like that we can submit feedback for clues that aren’t accurate. I wish they had a one time fee ad free instead of monthly. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-12-10, version 1.45.0* To much as ### 5/5 — Exciting!!! *2025-12-09, version 1.45.0* Very engaging and fun!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
