### 3/5 — Not so useful

*2019-02-24*

If you enter 8 letters the results will only have 8 letters. A lot of others, like WordFinder will solve for results of 8, 7, 6, 5… etc. which is what you need for most games.

**Developer response:** You can get the Jumbled Solver Advanced whick will do that.

### 5/5 — Evadapus

*2018-04-07, version 2.4*

Really good to use.
Very helpful as well.

### 5/5 — Lost Dictionary capability

*2018-04-06*

I have an iPhone SE (latest version) where I use this app. However something recently happened to my dictionary since I can no longer access it by pressing the word. I like this app very much but I will have to switch to another one if this feature has been removed. I’ve tried this app on my husband‘s iPhone 8 and also on my iPad and it appears to work there just fine. So I’m not sure why on the iPhone SE its not working.

**Developer response:** You need to install a dictionary separately. You can install any dictionary. Please follow instructions here https://www.imore.com/how-to-add-remove-dictionaries-iphone-ipad

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2017-09-07*

For those times when an obscure word fails to come to mind quickly and you cannot gather the letters properly to spell the hidden word, this app is great.

### 5/5 — V helpful

*2017-08-06, version 2.4*

Essential tool for tricky anagrams etc.

### 5/5 — Mujlbe pap

*2017-06-25*

It even solves my title. Works very well & gives internal words as well. I found it after my previous jumble app malfunctioned. Now I need it to figure how to untangle occasional words my students not only jumble but also substitute letters in (& overlook spell check marking). This one works well in most instances. Still can't handle those misspellings and a few complex words. I do use it frequently.

### 5/5 — Texas tangled

*2017-06-16*

I prefer to solve the jumbles on my own but when I have to put it down and get something else accomplished for the day this app always allows me to get the closure I need.

### 1/5 — Puzzle $1.09 order

*2018-04-02*

**Developer response:** What version of iOS do you have? What device?

### 1/5 — Used to be much better

*2016-03-09, version 2.3*

This app used to be good when it would give you all the possible words from the selection input. Now it only gives exact matches. Rubbish update. :-(

### 1/5 — What in the ...

*2015-04-20, version 2.3*

The app creates jumbled letters into jumbled letters. More often than not, I see words NOT found in the English dictionary. 
If I look here for help, I am about 50% of the time grasping at straws.

### 1/5 — Marginal

*2014-10-30, version 2.3*

Lists many word solutions but many are not English words, not recognized by Word Chums.

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2014-07-28, version 2.3*

This app and the advanced app has jammed worked for a long time but nor useless

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2014-05-25, version 2.3*

No longer works

Just freezes after entering the letters

Please fix

### 1/5 — Steve

*2014-03-20, version 2.3*

Crap doesn't even give me the words I know are there. I know it's the lite version but that's taking the piss.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2014-03-10, version 2.3*

I was trying to spell something out with a few magnet letters that I had and it came up with no results. I could come up with at least 6 on my own! Useless!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-07-15*

Perfect anagram solving tool

### 5/5 — Quick Solutions

*2021-01-28, version 2.4*

This very accurate app not only helps to solve anagrams but is educational when showing the number of words one can make from a given set of letters. It is effortlessly helping to expand my vocabulary when doing word puzzles. It also saves having to wait for the next day’s newspaper to get the solution to the anagram in the current days edition.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2020-08-02, version 2.4*

*2018-07-18*

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-05-22, version 2.4*

Finally found something to help with the tricky anagrams.

### 5/5 — Big help

*2018-04-25*

When I'm really stuck, just can't see the solution, this app consistently bails me out. I prefer not to use it unless I really need it, but when I REALLY need it, it's a lifesaver. Still feel the same way several years later.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2018-04-10, version 2.4*

Best app ever invented. Couldn't manage without it.
Use it daily.
