Only problem is you are supposed to be able to watch a video to earn extra crystals. I downloaded this game more than a week ago and have yet to have a single video be available for earning extra crystals. This is frustrating and seems very much like false advertising to me. If you say, we can watch a video to earn crystals, gosh darn it let us watch a video! ### 3/5 — Lots of good points *2023-01-17* Still using free version, but think I will pay soon. Like others I have found the dictionary limiting. But the game itself is fun. Hoping if I pay, maybe the letter board will not fill with 6 x M and 8 x E ( for example.) ### 4/5 — if you miss Bookworm Adventures, get this! *2022-10-15, version 2.6.3* Fun game, and as close as I can find to Bookworm Adventures. Not enough terrible puns, though! ### 4/5 — Game shifted to the left *2022-09-11* One of my all time favorite games, I’ve been coming back to for years. But suddenly the whole game is shifted to the left of the screen and the a 1/4 of the screen is a black space. It seems to have just happened, as I was playing yesterday and it was normal. I restarted my phone, I deleted and reinstalled the app, and it’s still all black on the right side. It would be really great to see this bug fixed…. Though, I doubt developers will see this any time soon. Great game either way. ### 4/5 — It’s Almost Bookworm Adventures! *2022-01-30* I’ve been looking for a game like bookworm adventures, but didn’t find a comparable one until now. Unfortunately the game is a bit old and as such has not been updated in 3 years at the time of my review. I hope that changes, the only reason for the 4 stars is because the game’s resolution is wonky, it does not take up my full screen, there is a black bar on the right and bottom of the screen. I’ve tried it on a different generation iPhone, same issue. Otherwise, great game. ### 5/5 — Extremely Fun Word RPG *2021-06-20, version 2.6.3* I was looking for a word RPG game and found this, and it’s been extremely fun to play! ### 5/5 — A very wonderful game, but there is one issue *2021-06-04* I played through the game entirely on my old phone, but on my current 8+ one with updated iOS, it only takes up about 2/3 of the screen, pushed into a corner. I would love to play it again, but I don’t think I really can with this issue. ### 5/5 — Favorite Game - Yet So Disappointed.... *2021-01-03* I love everything about this game! I have played it on and off for over 7 years now. There is only one major complaint and that is when you get to level 30...well that’s it. I mean come on! It’s a word game in which the player chooses letters from a board of random letter tiles and you are telling me 30 levels was all the developers could muster? Games like these should theoretically be capable of continuing indefinitely - or at least past level 30!!! - because they are the simplest, most cut and dry, with infinite answer possibilities, etc. SO DISAPPOINTED because I loved what little game content there is. ### 5/5 — please update *2020-11-12, version 2.6.3* i used play this game with iphone 6 now i am using iphone 11 but this app has not been updated, so resolution does not suit new phone! i really want play this game in perfectly. ### 5/5 — Best word game! *2020-10-17* I love this game. It combines traditional word play with unique and fun twists and challenges. I only wish there were more levels. I would pay for that. I finished the regular levels and am now enjoying the challenge of the expert levels. ### 3/5 — Not enough levels *2020-10-15, version 2.6.3* Live the game, but there aren’t enough levels ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-09-26, version 2.6.3* I have played this game for years and it is still one of my favorites! ### 5/5 — Sad we are done *2020-08-26, version 2.6.3* I enjoyed this thoroughly. My kids also enjoy - as each learned to read they started playing and loved it. But there hasn’t been an update in forever. Add another level and I’d gladly pay for it...dlc is fair. ### 4/5 — It would be nice if there were more instructions *2020-08-16, version 2.6.3* I like the game but the help does not tell you what to do to beat the monsters. I have no idea what words are more powerful or what I’m doing wrong. Other than that I love it but it gets frustrating! ### 5/5 — Screen sizing issue *2020-07-25* I’ve been playing this game for years now and it really is one of my favorite word games. I just recently downloaded it again but the game doesn’t fill my screen (iPhone 7 Plus). I’d hate to see this game fall into the ranks of the forgotten and incompatible. Please keep it alive! ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2020-05-17, version 2.6.3* For those loved Bookworm Adventures, you will find your fix with this game. It’s my new favorite. ### 4/5 — Hint timing *2020-05-09* The hints that pop up at the bottom each time I start a turn do not stay up long enough for me to read them. Is it possible to set them to stay up longer, like 3 to 5 seconds instead of the 1/2 second they are set for now? Otherwise, I love the game!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Upgrades don’t help *2021-11-04, version 2.6.3* I just purchased this game today to give it a whirl. Took the advice the developers made about upgrading health. It doesn’t help. Got to level 10 and it didn’t matter what words I made, there was no damage done to the enemy so I kept losing. Not worth it. ### 1/5 — Ugh *2020-11-21, version 2.6.3* Stupid copy of bookworm adventures I’m not rating this ### 1/5 — Doesn’t fit the screen... *2020-07-02, version 2.6.3* Is it just me, or does this game not even fit into the iPhone screen correctly? ### 1/5 — Needs updated *2019-11-04, version 2.6.3* The game doesn’t fill the screen anymore and playing is uncomfortable. Isn’t compatible with the new iPhone updates ### 1/5 — Fun game but... *2019-10-07, version 2.6.3* It’s fun but they haven’t updated it for modern iPhones so the image is cut off on the left and the right half of the phone screen is black due to the image being off center. Seems like they’ve abandoned this app yet are still collecting revenue for it. ### 1/5 — don't even waste your time don't download *2019-09-28, version 2.6.3* laggy ### 1/5 — Good game but lacks iPhone X support *2018-01-13, version 2.6.0* This game is really good, but for me the small game on my iPhone X screen is a deal breaker. The developer responded and I appreciate that. I hope to play this game with iPhone X support. ### 1/5 — 👎 *2014-03-12* I liked this game to begin with but by the time you get to level 13 if you can't come up with 9 or 10 letter words there is no chance if winning. 👎a big thumbs down on this game. ### 1/5 — Bad *2014-02-08, version 1.0* Bad ### 2/5 — Great game *2019-11-06, version 2.6.3* Please fix small screen issue on iPhone. Letter quest is a great game when it’s working correctly. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really fun word attack game *2026-05-07, version 2.6.3* I have played through so many times. I wish there was an update with more levels. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-01-11, version 2.6.3* I've played Letter Quest on Steam for a while. Was pleased to see it in the App Store and even more surprised that it is FREE. The basis of the game is similar to Boggle.... The Grimm character is cute, monsters are witty/creative and the cursed tiles add challenge. ### 5/5 — Great :) *2025-10-10* It’s fun and cute, and although it won’t fill the hole Bookworm Adventures left in my heart, it is satisfying. There’s words missing like mammory, shroom, Ferris and any compact words (such as ziptie) And I have requests like making big damage attacks more exciting, gems cause something to happen to the enemy, mini games, more levels ofcourse. Just something a little more immersive! ### 5/5 — Love this game! Need more than 30 levels. *2024-12-04, version 2.6.3* I’ve been playing this game for years. I love it! My only complaint is level 30 is the end of the game! Need more levels, please! ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2023-08-27* This game is so unique and fun! I love that each word does a certain amount of damage. A logic word puzzle and fighting game into one! Love that u can upgrade ur weapon, health, etc. and that you can gain skills with the books. Fantastjob with this one Devs 😄👏🏻👏🏻 ### 5/5 — My Favorite IOS Game! *2023-03-25, version 2.6.3* For me, it’s just plain fun with a bit of quick thinking and vocabulary knowledge thrown in! An expansion or updated version would be great! ### 5/5 — Great game, but no sound *2022-08-12, version 2.6.3* I was always a Bookworm Adventures fan and bought Letter Quest on Steam a year or so ago. I really enjoy the game. I was pleased to see it available for iOS as well. Now I can take it with me wherever I go. ### 5/5 — Homeschool Mom *2022-01-27* We used to have a similar PC game called Bookworm Adventures and this is the only app that comes close to that. So fun and so cute; challenging enough for adults, simple enough for children. We use this app in our homeschool routine and the kids love it. I do too. Wish they’d come back online and reintroduce ads for gems and more levels. Great game! ### 5/5 — Love it. Awaiting update to match Nintendo Switch edition. *2021-10-05* I play this OTG all of the time. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been updated to match the Nintendo Switch version that I love dearly. This is one game, even after nearly a decade, I still return to and can enjoy without fail. ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2021-08-31* I have really enjoyed this game so far! I wish there was a real incentive to buy the full game. With the exception of additional weapons, I’m not sure. However, as a word of thanks, I might just do it anyway. One suggestion…. Add more levels, have the availability of extra book slots, more powers weapons, and more quests! Otherwise, I love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
