Fun games!

These games are so fun and 100% private — no data collected. My kind of app! Thank you!

This word game is awesome!

Unique in its own way. I especially like to play the Solo Mode against the CPU opponents which was worth paying for. Visuals and background soundtrack is a nice addition to the game.

Might be good

Sadly there seems t be a major bug. Follow the instructions, hold the word in white and nothing happens. There’s nothing you can do.

Response from developer

Hi Pygmy, I just redownloaded the game to confirm everything is working. I think there might just be a misunderstanding. Once you tap letters to add them to your word, you can tap and hold on the white underlined word to score it. The word has to be a valid word, indicated by the underlined. You should feel your device vibrate and give audio feedback if it's not muted. Please give it another try and update your review if it works for you. If not, I'd love more details sent to me at bj@birdcartel.com. Thanks for trying.

Crashes Offline :(

Love the game, but as of recent, it crashes regularly when offline/airplane mode. Was playing on a flight.

Please auto orientation for iPad 🙏

An amazing game, I don’t know why.. but I prefer this one over we’ll word. I purchased both, but this one hits better for me. The expertly puzzle setup. This is my new favorite word spelling game.

I’ve played them all:

Word Knot
Well Word
Word Tower
Type Shift
Picto Words
Spell word
Words with Friends
Up Spell
Wordly

None in the list, hit me like Down Worldly. This sophisticated and elegant game. I will buy any future add ons.

I only wish had
✅ Auto orientation for iPad
✅ Dark theme for night in bed sessions

Other than that, this literally a masterpiece in game design, UX design and UI design. Immaculately done!

Multiplayer broken

Added a friend and they don’t show up on the list to start a new game.

Fantastic Strategic Word Game

Get it 🥳

Great game!

Been playing for quite a while and it’s always challenging. Love it!

Terrific game

Loving puzzle mode and that it’s never as easy as I think, so addictive if you are into words. Buy all of the games from the developer, you won’t regret it.

Better than Word Search

Word Search is a game by doing straight lines and the game has categories and 1000000000+ themes but download this game because its better than that game.

Fun game

I like this game and am especially impressed there's no ads. Kudos to the dev. I feel more open to support the app and offer feedback. Some things that can be improved are: if you get stuck on a daily challenge there doesn’t seem to be a way to restart. I also forget what the bookmark feature does or how to use it after initial note. Maybe a include “OK” and “Don’t show again” options? Also, some kind of reinforcement/acknowledgment of finding a longer word would be nice and feels expected, but not a big deal. Thanks!

Outstanding Word Puzzler

I’m absolutely in love with this word game. Found it by chance in the App Store. Definitely lucked out. It’s wonderfully challenging and relaxing at the same time. Multiple modes of gameplay. You can play solo or against a friend. It’s pleasing to the eye as well, with soft colors and smooth fluid animation. My new happy obsession :)

So confusing

I cannot make it past the second part of the tutorial- so confusing and no help within the app to give suggestions. Was really excited to play this game but it’s impossible to make it past the tutorial it seems.

Great Game needs one small fix IMO

This game is great. I love it and have been thinking laying nonstop since downloading it. The only thing that would make it better is a more direct way to switch between multiple multiplayer games. Currently you have to Save & Quit and then go back in to multiplayer to switch to another game. You should be able to simply back out to the multiplayer menu and switch between each match you have going on.

Great solo game, Cheaters in multiplayer

Not gonna lie the one reason I wanted to give you guys the premium price beyond supporting your work was to play this game multiplayer because the single player was just so peaceful and calming and fun and it looked really pretty. I don’t really know what you should do to correct it but y’all messed up the multiplayer.
For one through game Center, those matchmaking‘s have never been good, but second allowing players too much time giving people ample time to just look up the biggest word they could find in their grouping of letters… and it seems like most everybody’s doing it. There are always gonna be people smarter than me and I’m fine with that… But it should still be a fair game. As far as the single player experience I find it quite peaceful and fun, maybe some more backgrounds or some thing different music… But overall a good game. Also maybe difficulty modes for solo verses would be nice

New Puzzle levels

I’m a avid word game player. This is one of the more unique and challenging ones and I have come to really enjoy it. I came across it about 2 weeks ago, and I have already completed both sets of puzzles—the first free one and the 2nd pay one. However, there aren’t any more puzzles to play. It just resets to puzzle set 1. Am I overlooking someone or are there only two puzzle packs/levels? If so, when will new puzzles be coming out?

"Fruits" Puzzle cannot be solved

I like this game, however after traversing the first 6-7 levels of the "puzzles" section I came across the "fruits" level. It cannot be solved. I have tried 100 different ways. There are not enough "w's" to solve both "watermelon" and "kiwi". This is clearly a glitch in the game. If the developers want to help me with my quandary I would welcome their feedback. Until then, it seems this game is broken.

“ALMOST” perfect!!!

I’ve looking high and low for any “make your own word” game! I love Alphabetty but it gets impossible to do without spending money and I’m not doing that! This game is SO relaxing!! My only problem…. In Endless I get all the way to a depth of about 24, it would drop letters for the next depth on every level while I still have plenty of letters to work with but then it would stop! It would just end! I started over in depth 1, only got to depth 3 got down to only three letters that wouldn’t go together so it just stopped, ended! Why will it not drop more letters?? Getting down to three letters is NOT endless play!

Such a fun game!

Easy to learn, easy to challenge yourself to improve. Great options for playing the endless game, puzzles, daily challenge. Two improvements I’d like to see (unless I have missed them being there already) are a time-out feature that results in a multiplayer game ending after one player has not played a move for a certain number of days (10?). It’s not fair that if I end a game with someone because they haven’t played in days, they win and I lose. Also, I’d love to see a leaderboard for the most endless game points (not just the best endless word or deepest depth) - let’s reward risk-taking for the maximum number of points.

This is challenging for me and I love that!!!

My favorite is the PUZZLE. You have to find the words in a specific order and choose a letter that reveals a letter underneath it that completes the next word. If you didn’t choose correctly you have to undo that word and find the right letter. Hard to understand unless you’ve played the game. If you want a challenge this is a good one. I often play for hours at a time.
If you like Word games that will challenge you, you will love this one!!
