WTF!? ### 4/5 — Previous daily puzzles *2025-02-01, version 1.29* I really like doing the daily puzzles each morning but some days I can’t do them right away. Some days I miss the puzzle completely and wish I could go back to the previous day (or a few days) to complete those I missed the first time. Also, those annoying ads at the end of each game add to the “tune completed”; if it rakes 1’35” to complete a puzzle, then I watch a few seconds of the ad, my total time is reflected as the time I needed to complete the puzzle as well as the amount of time I spent on the ad! ### 4/5 — Previous daily puzzles *2024-11-18* I really like doing the daily puzzles each morning but some days I can’t do them right away. Some days I miss the puzzle completely and wish I could go back to the previous day (or a few days) to complete those I missed the first time. ### 2/5 — First Malware “Ad” *2024-07-22, version 1.28* I just got the first malware “ad” on this app: “Security notification Your phone’s memory is already having 13% damage.” Ad goes on to urge action because all “data…will be available to third parties” if not installed. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS!,, ### 3/5 — An sich ganz gut *2024-01-09* An sich ganz gut aber es könnten ruhig mehr sein und vielleicht auch mehr positive Wörter als Sterben oder so 😉 ### 3/5 — Can’t always do daily puzzles *2023-12-19* From time to time (no rhyme or reason) the daily puzzle won’t load. I get the previous day’s puzzle with the current date. ### 4/5 — Fun! *2023-08-26, version 1.23* Enjoying these. ### 4/5 — Fun but could be better *2023-04-13, version 1.23* This would be a lot more fun if the developers actually got their own puzzles correct! It’s VERY annoying to try to fill in the words of the Hard Crossword only to find that a word is incorrect, after you attempt multiple times to rearrange the words to make it fit. Shame on you! ### 3/5 — Can’t go back if you miss one *2023-04-01* It would be great if you could go back and solve the puzzles you somehow missed. That’s the primary reason I don’t play Wordle. ### 5/5 — The best *2022-10-10, version 1.23* At long last, an app version of the old pencil and paper version of Fill-ins. I absolutely love this app. I just wish there was an ad-free version. ### 5/5 — Fill-Ins *2022-10-05, version 1.23* Big variety of puzzles. Plus the check puzzle feature is helpful. Not many Fill In games have it. ### 5/5 — Love this fill in *2022-07-18, version 1.23* I downloaded this puzzle about 2-3 hours ago. I am hooked, I don’t want to put it down. It’s easy, but that’s what I like. Thank you for this puzzle. ### 3/5 — It would be nice *2022-06-25, version 1.23* It would be nice to have a “Reset” button. ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging *2022-05-17, version 1.23* This game is addictive. It has several levels to let you choose the level of difficulty and you can switch between the levels. It also has limited and reasonable advertising. I am really enjoying it. ### 5/5 — I like this game a lot but *2021-10-26, version 1.20* You can’t pass easy #127 there’s too many words and not enough spaces that’s not right ### 4/5 — Great app… but… *2021-09-21, version 1.20* There needs to be a way to remove ads. Also it would be great to see the words in list view ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mots Casés *2025-06-14, version 1.29* Bonjour, je trouve cette application géniale, mais il serait intéressant qu’on puisse lire les colonnes démo verticaux avec VoiceOver Nathalie ### 1/5 — Pure crap *2022-09-28, version 1.23* Dumbest thing ever no clues and once you put a word in there is no changing it. ### 1/5 — Why does it not turn on screen *2022-08-29, version 1.23* I like to be able to play games that will open on side way screen. It says it works on this ipad, but yet it only fits up and down screen Can this be forrected? ### 1/5 — Not my cup of tea *2022-04-24, version 1.23* This is a very different format that have nothing to do with identifying a word from clues. It is purely a matching exercise between the number of letters in a word and which letters you already know. Not mentally stimulating with regard to word recognition at all. ### 1/5 — Discriminatory words in puzzles *2021-02-05, version 1.19* I downloaded this game because I love crossword puzzles. I was absolutely shocked and appalled when I got to puzzle #135 in the intermediate puzzle category and one of the 7 letter words was extremely offensive and inappropriate. I will not explicitly state the word in this review but it starts with the letter “R” and is tremendously offensive towards individuals with special needs. I am shocked that this word is included in one of the puzzles, the use of the r-word in this game contributes to the exclusion that this word perpetuates in our society and should be removed from the puzzle immediately. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2020-05-25, version 1.12* They don’t even number the clues or the squares! No way to tell even where to start . I was looking for something fun and relaxing. This isn’t it ### 1/5 — Flawed *2019-06-22, version 1.09* Bombs out halfway through puzzle. Shut off iPad, booted up, and still bombs out. I have to start over. ### 1/5 — Coucou *2018-10-21, version 1.09* Très malin et sans prise de tête ### 1/5 — What are these words? *2018-07-09, version 1.04* This app completely makes up words. "Sended" and "deers" are not words. Please use actual words when creating a word-based game. ### 1/5 — Offensive words *2018-03-25, version 1.02* I was enjoying this app until I found that it uses racists and offensive words like “gooks” in its puzzles. NOT okay! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Très bonne application *2026-05-13* J’aime bien cette application . Je recommande ### 5/5 — Bellissimo!!!! *2025-10-19, version 1.29* Uno attira l’altro…. ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-09-30, version 1.29* Enjoy fun LOVE IT ❤️ ### 5/5 — Tuklpv gujikujilu *2024-08-20, version 1.29* Cccccccccccc dftyunm. ### 5/5 — Love fill-in *2024-02-25, version 1.26* I have been looking for these kind of puzzles. I love it ### 5/5 — Cross Fill in *2024-01-12, version 1.26* So far so good! This game is a good replacement for my crossword books for now! ### 5/5 — Love the challenge *2023-07-14, version 1.23* This app was a great find. I enjoy the challenge of the Fill-Ins crosswords. It does not have a hint button. It does record the time to finish the puzzle. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2023-04-08, version 1.23* I really find this game very relaxing. There is one thing I would like to suggest and that is a pause button for when the phone rings, or the kids are trading your youngest on line for a puppy! ### 5/5 — I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the fill ins. Very relaxing. *2022-11-24, version 1.23* 6 stars ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2022-11-02* Macht Spaß und je nach Lust, Laune und können gibt’s verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade. Habe bisher alle mal getestet und ich finde sie den Bewertungen angemessen. Ab und an kommt Werbung, aber ich finde, für die Menge an Rätseln und dass es bisher kostenlos ist, durchaus ok. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
