## What is Match Phrase?

Match colorful tiles, reveal the letters and solve the hidden phrase!

### 5/5 — Awesome Game!

*2023-06-08, version 1.6.3*

This game is great!

### 4/5 — Match Phrase

*2018-05-01, version 1.6.0*

I like the game overall. Kinda like W.O.F. Without the wheel and hangman without the figure. 

I don’t like the fact that can’t even play 1st one without unlocking the puzzle. Needs to have a puzzle pack bundle to unlock ALL puzzles in entire game. I do hope passing each level will unlock the puzzle next to it; if not then that’s gone create a problem and a game deletion. 
The next thing I don’t like is the prices prices; some too high and mainly you don’t get enough for the price. If I have to pay $5 for ad unlock; the least y’all can do is unlock entire game. I like the game but not that much yet. 😒

And last; fix Facebook login; long as this game been available y’all haven’t fixed it yet??
