### 1/5 — Need new adventure maps. Haven’t had new maps in a very long time.

*2026-08-16, version 4.5.8051*

Need new maps

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-08-05, version 4.4.8221*

Different than the original but still enjoyable.

### 5/5 — wordament is elite

*2026-08-01, version 4.4.8221*

I’m an idiot so I can only figure out this microsoft classic. I still can’t play solitaire. Please someone help me learn solitaire :(

### 1/5 — Great game, horrible support!

*2026-07-27, version 4.4.8221*

The daily challenge hasn’t worked in w while, but you can’t communicate with them except by logging on to Facebook. Ridiculous that if you don’t want to be on Facebook you get NO support!

### 1/5 — Haven’t had new maps in a very long time.

*2026-07-22, version 4.4.8221*

Need new maps

### 4/5 — Would love hints on long words

*2026-07-20, version 4.4.8221*

I love this game but I sure wish they would allow a request for hints on “long” words. Maybe give the first letter to help users find it, or give a hint on the topic, or say how many letters are in the long word. Infact, it would be even nicer if the user could choose which type of hint they would like. Often I just wish I knew the first letter, so I could really concentrate on finding it.

### 5/5 — Excellent, but

*2026-07-20, version 4.4.8221*

This game is nearly perfect. Can be improved by enabling invite a friend / individual. Surprised it hasn't been done yet. Seems obvious to me. Also a world leaderboard is needed.

### 3/5 — Some bugs and a truly weird dictionary

*2026-07-19, version 4.4.8221*

The game is mildly addictive but the GOLD RUSH does not behave properly (as stated in the rules) and the dictionary has many common words missing as well as many foreign words that are in common use in English gaming venues, while at the same time it has tons of abbreviations, acronyms and obscure esoteric words which have been obsolete for centuries. Also the Themed words have horrendous oversights.  For example, “put” and “call” were not recognized as Financial themed words.

### 5/5 — Play it for fun

*2026-07-14*

Great app. Keeps me sharp by playing others and trying to put do my previous points.

### 1/5 — DECEPÇÃO

*2026-07-11*

Gostaria de saber a razão de não mais disponibilizarem o jogo em português.
