### 5/5 — Incredible game

*2026-06-03, version 1.2*

This game is incredible in its simplicity and elegance of design. I’ve been playing since at least 2009, (there was a gap for a few years when the game was not available) and I’m still coming up with new strategies to stay near the top of the leaderboard. I never miss a daily challenge if I can help it. #krangles

### 1/5 — Luxurious lexicography

*2026-05-31, version 1.2*

Great to find new words that I don’t know, against opponents who have equal enthusiasm for this game. HOWEVER, I wish there were more concurrent games going- there used to be up to 15 at once and now only 2!!!!! Why

### 2/5 — Can’t open the daily games

*2026-03-09, version 1.2*

When I first downloaded the app, I was able to play the daily games but now I can’t open them and can only play the practice games. I’ve written an email but got no response. I’ve also removed the app and reinstalled it and still it’s not working.

### 1/5 — It was fun…

*2026-03-01, version 1.2*

Numerous problems happening.   Daily unlimited doesn’t start and I get a message that I have already played.  Daily timed hangs before starting.  I constantly show up as “Someone” on the scoreboard.  There is no support for this game.  No response to emails.  I bet they still get money to remove ads though.  
Update 2: Now the daily challenges don’t work at all.  Things seem to happen after an iPhone update.  Contacted support - not getting my hopes up.  
Update 1: Daily challenges keep crashing.  Takes two tries to get the infinite game to work. Timed game crashes twice and then says I already played. Contacted support twice - no response. 
Original review: I enjoy this game and it is a good challenge. I wish there was an easier way to remove a cube. I find the double tap very awkward.

### 5/5 — Awesome Game !

*2026-02-26, version 1.2*

Fun word game that keeps you thinking !

### 1/5 — Excellent word search game

*2026-01-15, version 1.2*

This word search game is basically a 3D version of boggle. Added dimensions make it more challenging and interesting. It is possible to find some really long words on a good day. There is also a multiple player option that lets you take turns against an online opponent. However even after you pay five bucks to remove annoying “please give us money” banners that show up before you can play a game, the same annoying banners still keep showing up. There’s no response from the developer. Please get rid of the annoying banners that interrupt gameplay or give my money back.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-11-03, version 1.2*

Fun especially when you can figure out what letters you can use

### 5/5 — My favorite word puzzle game!

*2025-08-08, version 1.2*

This is my favorite word puzzle game by a LONGSHOT. I wish more people played, because it’s the same users I keep playing day after day. Just the right amount of challenge and the thrill of finding a 1,000+ point word is prettttty awesome. Keep going isowords! ✅✅

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2025-06-10, version 1.2*

Nothing opens anymore

### 1/5 — Only 3 games

*2025-02-14, version 1.2*

Remove the N word from your dictionary. I will not use it as a word here. It shouldn’t be an option!
