### 4/5 — Like the game BUT….

*2023-09-12*

It’s enjoyable, different, I like it. But the fact that every time I login to play, the developer pops up flat out rudely ASKING for a tip! like buddy, I work for tips as well in the hospitality industry for many years and you don’t ASK people to tip you! And you know what? I prob would tip on my own, but because you ask I can’t bring myself to do it!  If you took that down I guarantee if you ask for support in another way you’d get it.

### 5/5 — Fun and different

*2023-06-08*

Has a twist unlike the other repetitive word games, really fun try it!

### 5/5 — Enjoying this game

### 5/5 — Unique word game keeps my brain going

There’s no other word game that lets you just creatively combine words. I love getting on the leaderboard and playing with my friends!

### 4/5 — Fun and relaxing game

*2020-06-01*

I love word games but rarely find any that don’t bore me after 5 minutes. 

Dokudo is fun and stays interesting. The game also has a calming effect, which is especially great during the pandemic lockdown.

I’d rate it 5 stars if there were a way to completely disable the sound. I’d also pay for a version that had that option.

### 5/5 — This Game Rocks

This turns my brain on and I feel the cells working as I try to put words together quickly. Moreover, I’m noticing my vocabulary and spelling improving. It's fun, too!

### 5/5 — Addictive and so much fun

*2017-11-14*

This game is so addictive I just love playing it
