### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-01*

Love it

### 5/5 — Nice word search game

*2024-10-03*

Try to get the 6 related words first for a repeatable achievement (straight shooter) and +1 hint.

The game is simple with a small size.  Offline friendly.

### 5/5 — Daily brain boost

*2024-06-02*

What a wonderful way to pass the time. Always challenging.

### 4/5 — Addictive, but with hiccups . . .

*2022-07-23*

Relaxing and addictive, but the ranking system could be improved. In fact, the ranking screen is almost unreadable in its current state, with words drifting off screen and on top of each other.

Would also be great if there were a “finger drag” option instead of a “tap each tile” option.

But overall, great little game with a ton of potential!

**Developer response:** Hi John! Glad you like the game, and thanks for the feedback. I’ve got that fix added to the list, and it should be good to go in the next update! Edit: Update is live :)

### 5/5 — Fun word puzzle game

*2022-06-29*

Easy concept, but difficult to find all the words, if you can. Would recommend!

### 5/5 — Relaxing and challenging word puzzle

*2022-04-09*

Nicely clean interface with no ad interruptions. I love Adventure Mode, where the goal is to find six related words. The Daily Puzzle will keep you busy for a while: at 366 points, I was running out of steam and nowhere near the end. This is a smart game: no dopey super-easy levels! It assumes you’re a competent person with a large vocabulary who wants to get in there and make words with the least fuss. Exactly the kind of word game I like!
