### 4/5 — Excellent game

*2023-07-14*

Excellent idea, very well implemented, but not perfect. Requires intelligence and word skills, especially anagramming. Very good system of earning hints.

Minor flaws: some errors in some clues (237, “спорт” in english version; 302, “bowk”), some clues put the dead-giveaway clue first when it should be last after more subtle clues (What word is associated with “bell”? AND “clock”? There’s NO WAY that one should start with “Eiffel” as the first clue!!!) Also, some clues are either completely useless (“photo” right after “photograph” was the most annoying) or just outright give the answer (“tv”).

Reminder, those problems are very few, most of them are wonderful and the game is overall excellent.

### 3/5 — I really like this game, but.......

*2017-05-03*

### 1/5 — Crashes.

### 4/5 — Nice game!

*2017-01-05*

### 3/5 — Not enough levels

*2016-12-27*

Only 44. Easily accomplished under an hour
