Great word hunt

As a teacher, this app is both a great learning tool and a fun classroom reward exercise. Students enjoy finding the hidden words before the thief appears. The extra games are ok but it is the word hunt that makes the app.

Awesome coolness!

My 7 year old loves this game. You search for hidden words (only forward and horizontally - thank you!). All words (up to 5 words) must be found before the funny Word thief comes out. This is a time keeping concept that really seem to resonate with my son. He cries out in amusement every time the thief peeks out from his hiding place. Plus also for the built in instructions that help you get started. A very awesome game.

Not intuitive for younger kids

Even I had a hard time figuring out what to do at first. There is no narration and the directions are poor. It takes some trial and error...all the while the time is ticking. Also, the spelling words are pretty advanced for the ages specified. There are a few beginner words like pig, but then there are words like helmet and a few even harder for that. Granted, my son is a beginner reader. Definitely for older kids.

"Happi" I got this!

Downloaded to keep kids occupied during restaurant visit. Has the classic word hunt puzzles but also a lot more. Kids just love when the Word thief sticks his head out to see what's going on.

Like the app - Love the thief

this is a fun digital take on the word hunt puzzles you get with the kids menus at a restaurant. If you find all the words before the Wordthief comes you get to do a detective puzzle. The word hunt boards seem to be endless so there is no risk you are running out of puzzles. Recommended!
