I play it often. It needs to be updated. Every ten or so games it will not download on phone and I have to reload it, which is a pain. ### 4/5 — Great game *2022-09-28, version 1.5.12* Great game. Would also love to be able to have a mode that is not timed. ### 5/5 — I Like the gameplay *2022-02-04, version 1.5.12* Very interesting ### 3/5 — Challenging *2021-11-04, version 1.5.12* Love this game! Warning…it can be addictive!😊 ### 5/5 — Fun game *2021-11-01, version 1.5.12* Been playing this game for years. Rarely see an ad. Keeps me alert. ### 5/5 — Letter Garden *2021-05-04, version 1.5.12* I love Letter Garden! I come back to it over and over again. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-04-12, version 1.5.12* I’ve been playing letter garden for years. It is endlessly fun and challenging. Keeps the brain active. ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-02-05, version 1.5.12* This game is fun ### 4/5 — Addicting and fun! *2021-01-17, version 1.5.12* Need just a tad more time while practicing to get better ### 5/5 — Mint *2020-07-01, version 1.5.12* Played it for years. ### 5/5 — Letter Garden *2020-04-22, version 1.5.12* Helps my 80 year old mind. ### 5/5 — Addictive *2020-02-12, version 1.5.12* I like that there isn’t a set list . Up to me fo make as many words as possible ### 3/5 — Use a stylus if you have one *2020-02-09* Tiles are very small- easy to touch more than what you need and takes time from timer to retrace your letter path. The “zoom” feature doesn’t allow for a quick return to the whole board and uses too much timer time. Dragging tiles on the bottom row interrupts the game as well. Ugh!! ### 4/5 — 💝 *2020-02-02, version 1.5.12* Great game but some words that should count aren’t on there and some words that shouldn’t be on there are on there so... ### 5/5 — Unending fun *2020-01-27, version 1.5.12* Still doing it after all this time. Learned about flowers, too ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother with this game *2024-02-09* There haven’t been any recent reviews of this game for good reason - if you cannot complete a level, it starts you back to level one. It is timed, so that makes it more stressful and you can’t take the time to see if you can create a longer word. If you are playing on a phone, the tiles are too small and hard to select. I played for two weeks and that was enough. ### 1/5 — Warning! Drained battery!!! *2023-06-15, version 1.5.12* This app caused battery drain and overheated my iPhone 11. Used 53% of battery in 24 hour period with about half a dozen games. I played music throughout and this only used 14%. Do not download this. It will destroy your phone. ### 1/5 — What gives? *2020-07-20, version 1.5.12* If you don’t beat the level, it brings you back to the beginning, rather than have you play the level until you beat it. They need to change that ASAP ### 1/5 — Still cropped *2019-09-09, version 1.5.2* The app is so cropped that the menu bar does not appear. No way to disable the zoom ### 2/5 — Letter Garden *2019-10-05* I loved playing this game on computer but as soon as I saw this app, I was thrilled! However, when I need to exist the game as to stop playing, it doesn’t even have option to exist. I had to turn off my phone then restart to have it closed. Not only that but when I retrace correct spelling of the word, it zooms in too close and I can’t see letters I want to click to. It won’t go back to normal for screen size. ### 2/5 — Paid for no ads and still have ads *2019-01-09, version 1.5.2* Love the game but paid for the no ads version and still have ads, tried uninstalling but that did not work, wasted my money on this one. ### 2/5 — Needs Some Adjustment *2018-09-04* I’ve tried to open this game on three separate occasions- two of which I got a black screen after the manufacturer logo appears. The one time I actually got to play it was fun, but the letters are super tiny, so it can be a little hard to see and even more difficult to touch the right letters with your finger. ### 2/5 — Ok *2017-06-23, version 1.5.2* It makes you nervous if you can't find words..and clock is,ticking. Probably will delete soon...but will hang in until it drives me crazy. ### 3/5 — Letter Garden *2026-03-27, version 1.5.12* I enjoy playing the game, BUT, I can't seem to get too far ahead without ultimately being thrown back to level one! ### 3/5 — Timer *2022-11-13, version 1.5.12* This would be a much better game (for some of us) without that blasted timer. There isn’t enough time to find larger words. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unending fun *2026-03-05, version 1.5.12* Still doing it after all this time. Learned about flowers, too ### 5/5 — Pure fun *2026-02-05* I used to play this all the time. Then somehow I lost it and couldn’t remember the name (I know it’s dumb, but true). Glad I finally did remember. Yay me! ### 5/5 — Challenging *2025-12-31, version 1.5.12* Enjoy this word game. ### 5/5 — Letter garden *2025-08-13, version 1.5.12* Keeps my attention ### 5/5 — Love the game *2024-04-15, version 1.5.12* I’ve played this for a long time on many different devices. I’ve been trying to pay the $2.99 to get rid of the ads but its not letting me. Goes right to the ad. Don’t see where I can pay for it in the apple store. Also not available for android anymore. Have to play on line. My only 2 complaints!!!!! Love the game. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2023-06-13* I love this game! I bought it years ago and then lost my iPhone. I recently got another and this was the first game I downloaded. So glad I can still play! ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-06-06, version 1.5.12* Much fun lot of words ### 5/5 — Response to Rating this Game *2023-05-20* It is one of the best games I have played, I enjoy it immensely. It make you concentrate and know how to spell. ### 5/5 — Addictive *2023-01-26, version 1.5.12* Can’t stop playing. I love this game! ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME! *2023-01-08* I gave it a try and before I knew it, a couple of hours had passed.
