I’d love to see a feature where users can view all possible words once they’ve played for the day. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-12-11, version 1.2* Would’ve been cool to spin the cube 🤓 ### 5/5 — So excited! *2023-12-10, version 1.2* I played this many years ago on an ipod. Switched to android for a few years and it wasn't available. Went back to Apple and couldn't find it. I found it today and paid right away. Favorite game ever! ### 4/5 — Addictive potential despite broken lexicon *2023-11-28, version 1.2* The game is great and has most of what it takes to become addictive. But some details are missing: What does constitute a correct word? “Agoges”, “drey” and other nonsense are allowed while words like common proper names of cities etc. don’t count. Why not use an official dictionary? There are often clusters of either vowels or consonants which defeats the purpose of creating words and makes the game more up to chance. A constrained random generation world help. UX: Why not allow to rotate the cube more to see options? ### 5/5 — Good word game. *2023-08-04, version 1.2* I was looking for a good word game, and I really like this one. It’s different from most others that seem to be variations on the same basic game (word finds, crosswords, etc.). ### 5/5 — A Casual Word Fun *2023-06-05, version 1.2* Absolutely enjoying this casual game that makes me think inside the box. ### 3/5 — Used to be my favorite *2023-02-10, version 1.2* But now as soon as selected the Timed game, the app crashes and then when you go in you can’t play it. The same thing happens with the Unlimited game where it crashes the app, but at least it lets you play it when you go back in. Please fix this asap. ### 5/5 — Wordy *2023-01-22, version 1.2* This is a different word game. Mind stimulating ### 4/5 — The game is great, the crashing is annoying *2023-01-17, version 1.2* I really enjoy the game, and play the daily events often, but every time I start a daily event, the app crashes (immediately goes back to the Home Screen). For the untimed event, this isn’t too big of an issue, because I can just restart the app and solve the puzzle. I just found out today that the timed one is unplayable. When you tap on it, the game crashes, and when I return, it says that I’ve already played (even though I never saw the board). I’ve tried to write the developers directly, but no luck so far. I’d try to uninstall and reinstall the app, but I’m afraid I’ll lose my history & stats, which would not make me very happy. ### 5/5 — Great word game *2023-01-11, version 1.2* This is by far the best word game on the App Store. It’s challenging and clever but above all it’s great fun. The daily challenge will keep you returning every day to see if you can climb that leaderboard against the small but committed community of players. Download it and feel the joy every time you connect a word that gives you 1000+ points! ### 4/5 — Good, but still buggy *2022-12-20, version 1.2* If the app crashes while starting a challenge game, it can lock you out of the challenge, even though you didn’t post a score to the leaderboard. Otherwise, a good word game to kill time with. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 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! ### 1/5 — Excellent word search game *2024-09-10* 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. Apple should feature this as the game of the week to attract more players. Having a larger pool of players will make the multiplayer version more exciting. ### 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. ### 2/5 — It was fun… *2023-02-27* 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. ### 2/5 — Stop hounding me please *2021-04-10, version 1.2* To start off, this game is pretty fun. What’s not fun is getting asked to turn on notifications after EVERY SINGLE GAME. When I say “no”, I expect you to respect that decision. I also love how instead of having ads you put up an unskippable screen saying please pay us money. That is just as bad as putting in ads. It’s really a shame since I’d easily bump my rating up by two stars if I wasn’t constantly annoying me. Just put an unobtrusive banner ad at the bottom of the screen. But I suppose trying to guilt trip you into paying money gets them more profit in the end. ### 3/5 — Not worth paying for *2023-06-01, version 1.2* It’s a fun game but maybe actually add premium features before you beg people to get a subscription? Ads would actually be less annoying then being asked to fork over my money for nothing and you’d at least get money. I’m not paying for the privilege of not having your annoying message, I’ll just delete the app. If you want financial support you’d have better luck with a kickstarter ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Awesome Game ! *2026-02-26, version 1.2* Fun word game that keeps you thinking ! ### 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.

There are many different ways to play this game, and if you are not into playing a Timed Board or an Unlimited Time Board, you can still play One on One with friends and instant challengers! It’s definitely a brain workout! ### 5/5 — So fun! *2024-07-21, version 1.2* Absolutely love this game, we have fun playing against eachother in our home.
