I’m 72 year old man with M.S.. Not very mobile so games like this keep my mind working. Thank you for all of people with M. S.. ### 4/5 — Disappointing *2023-12-04, version 5.5.0* This game can be quite addictive. I purchased the game, but found it quite annoying to be continually hounded to purchase more ‘coins’ or ‘clues’. The game is also vague on scoring, which is also annoying. The game has become more irritating than enjoyable. There are better options. ### 5/5 — Cute game *2023-09-16, version 5.5.0* Very interesting way to sharpen the mind! ### 5/5 — Hi words *2023-08-23, version 5.5.0* I love word games.

I anticipate the puzzles will become progressively more difficult as I play. ### 5/5 — Game *2022-11-27, version 5.4.1* Very good app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — In game pop ups for other games *2026-08-23, version 5.7.1* I hate these pop ups that keep trying to get me to purchase different apps for games I have no desire to play. Please stop this or I’ll stop playing. ### 1/5 — Boring *2023-05-22, version 5.5.0* Kept hoping it would get more interesting. Very repetitive. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2023-02-28, version 5.5.0* I can’t pass level 24 like bro what is that first of all why would you make that level so hard to pass it’s just bad ### 1/5 — Ads longer than game play *2022-07-10, version 5.4.1* Seriously the amount of ads is unreal. They take longer on the screen than it does to play. So frustrating. Delete ### 1/5 — Bad job *2020-06-08, version 5.3.0* I hate your game ### 1/5 — Hi Words *2020-04-28, version 5.3.0* This game is terribly boring, far too many ads upon ads, and simply not exciting at all. Tried it for two days, did over a hundred puzzles with no joy of how well you’re doing or rewards. Just BORING!!! ### 1/5 — Word *2020-04-15, version 5.3.0* Good game but no continuation. Does not reply!!! ### 1/5 — Frustrated! *2019-04-29, version 5.3.0* I don’t get it! I advance to higher levels, but when I leave the game, and then return I’m back at Animals, right at beginning where game almost started! So I never get to higher levels and stay there. Not much fun re-doing the same puzzles to get where I left off (sometimes take a while!), so I’m not even going to play anymore. I’ve tried several times, but have the same result. Maybe the brains behind this game could fix this huge glitch. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous ads *2018-11-14* In all honesty, even though I like the game, I cannot and will not recommend it. The ads are beyond annoying and are very disruptive. Unless you want to pay for no ads, DO NOT download this game! I downloaded it a couple hours ago and have been playing nonstop. However, the ads, the stupid, nonstop ads have driven me away. Since I play for free I expect ads. What I don’t expect is ads popping up in the MIDDLE of games. In fact, the last game I played had 3 separate ads in the middle of the game. Most of the ads between games are 30 seconds long then you get a second screen for an additional 5-10 seconds. Absolutely ridiculous. Like I said, unless you want to pay for no ads, run away as fast as you can from this game. **Developer response:** Dear player, we are so sorry for the ads. As a free games developer, we need the ads to support our work. Thanks for your understanding about that. But your feedback will be heard by our team so that they can consider to change it in the future. Sorry again and let us know when you have more opinions! ### 1/5 — Game ruined by 30 second ads *2018-11-07, version 5.3.0* Enjoyable game but too many long interruptions of no interest ads. Now they say every nickname has been taken. Will try again ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2026-07-11, version 5.7.1* I love this game!
