This game is perfunctory at best, a stripped down version of a game with no flair. After I solved the puzzle, all I got was “level complete.” There was no indication as to where the quote came from - like other makers offer. Boring! ### 1/5 — Awful adverts! *2024-08-14* So many adverts to many disgusting ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-07-02* There are ads after every puzzle. So don’t expect to do much playing of the game. It would be nice if when identifying a letter, they would automatically fill in for the entire puzzle. Ex: when correctly identifying the “e”, all “e” would fill in. ### 2/5 — Yuk *2024-08-31* Too many ads! ### 3/5 — Concerned about some phrases😵‍💫 *2024-09-02* I just got the game and there are some confusing phrases, like “A little learning is a dangerous thing” I don’t get that one. I thought learning was good! I don’t get “The old wooden spoon beats me down” either, does it mean @buse??? I also don’t understand “As you sow so shall you reap”. What does it mean? Can someone please explain these to me? I will write down any other questions and concerns in another review if I have any but other that that it is an amazing game!!! ### 3/5 — Ads *2024-03-21* I really like cryptograms. I usually do them in books and on paper. This app is a great way to have them at the drop of a hat. I t like having an ad after each puzzle (sure, it’s free). You get 3 strikes and your out. The letters are tiny and it’s hard to always touch the proper key, especially if you have shaky hands. It’s a challenge to play the games with the disappearing numbers, but I think I like quite a bit. ### 3/5 — Why I give it three stars *2024-02-17* I don’t know what the numbers are for because their is no key ### 4/5 — Good but *2024-09-11* Not as good as other similar games but at least this one only has ads in between games (so far). So I will keep playing this game. A quick note, would be good if after all of one letter is completed on the board the numbers disappeared. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2024-06-14* This is a fun game, but a bit easy. There are a few grammatical errors in the English language, but are easily figured out. ### 4/5 — Interesting results *2024-04-25* Would be good to be able to backtrack through completed ones. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update on how I’m going *2024-07-18* I’m starting to get a little frustrated when I can’t find the right letter but that’s ok it’s apart of the process ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-07-17* I love this word game yes very relaxing ### 5/5 — I’m hooked *2024-02-17* Can’t stop playing this game! ### 4/5 — Neat Game👌 *2024-03-23* Like this game! Just wish it would let you have a hint😞 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
