Also, the crossword puzzles are ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. After I finish writing this review, I WILL delete this app -- and that's a shame, because I like these kinds of games. ### 2/5 — Flawed at best *2016-10-19* I'll grant that the individual puzzles are fun, but the glitches and ads reduce the overall value of this app significantly. Some puzzles appeared twice under different headings, some changed identities after I closed the app and came back, one puzzle simply had too few letters to be solved, and a particular word search even refuses to remember that it's been solved: whenever I reopen the app, it says it's untouched, but I look and all the words are still circled. Very poorly executed, too buggy fir completion-oriented people like me, too slow with ads for casual players, not an app I would recommend. ### 3/5 — Too many problems *2016-09-28* I mainly like the anagrams, but often the letters make many more words than there are spaces for. So if you come up with six 4-letter words and there are only spaces for four, the last 2 are not counted, so it feels like you're not getting acknowledged for the skills the puzzle is supposed to reward. More frustrating: when I try to watch the "watch to unlock" ads, the screen goes blank and no ad plays, so nothing is unlocked. I've completed the puzzles I had been able to unlock, can't unlock any more, so now this app is an inert waste of space. Too bad, it was fun for a while. ### 4/5 — Good *2016-07-15, version 1.2* Good game. Enjoyed it! ### 3/5 — Fun Until it Breaks *2016-06-12, version 1.2* My favorite was crossword puzzles, but starting at Medium 3 level the "across" numbering is messed up. ### 2/5 — It would be great if it weren't broken *2016-04-30* I really like that there are all different types of games on here, but the crossword becomes unplayable after the easy level. The clues to the across words are all messed up: the numbers are wrong, some of the hints don't even exist on the puzzle, and if you happen to get the word by chance it clearly does not correspond at all to the clues. I was contemplating buying the full version, but not now, because it would be a waste of money on a broken product. ### 2/5 — Frustrating! *2016-03-16, version 1.2* The easy level is fine, but the medium level crosswords are all messed up. The answer grid does not match the clues given. The only way to complete a puzzle is to guess words that might fit the spaces. Please fix this mess! So glad I didn't PAY for it!! ### 4/5 — Excellent waste of time! *2016-02-04, version 1.2* Lots of different types of word puzzles to keep me engaged. ### 4/5 — Modern words *2016-01-15, version 1.2* This is fun, many different word games to choose from so always have a word game of some kind and it's free. ### 4/5 — Good puzzles *2016-01-13, version 1.2* Quick and well designed variety but not too easy. Good for anyone who likes brain exercise. Suitable for anyone. ### 2/5 — Needs Something *2016-01-08, version 1.2* Not sure yet if I will keep or delete. Crossword needs to mark used clues and the option to show wrong letters in red. ### 4/5 — Cool *2015-12-25, version 1.2* This is a awesome game, that has several other games in it. But they all make you think and learn. ### 5/5 — Nice game for relaxing *2015-12-21, version 1.2* No time limits, no maximum moves, no diminishing energy. Just nice easy word games. Clean interface. Even the ads aren't too annoying. ### 5/5 — Kathy *2015-12-16, version 1.2* I enjoy these games. Helps pass the time when I have to wait. ### 3/5 — Good, but ... *2015-12-15* I was cruising along having a good ole time doing the easy crosswords, happy to start on the medium packs. Unlocked the first one & started working, but had to put it down partway through ... came back & noticed some of the across clues were missing & all the others had the wrong numbers. Went to the next puzzle, same thing. Checked several more ... they're all funked up. Am I the only one having this problem or is something wrong with the app? I also find the puzzle type anagrams tedious ... Not hard, just boring. Could you maybe add some cryptogram puzzles? ### 5/5 — Fun, Mindless Time Killers -n- Fillers *2015-12-13, version 1.2* The app works great, and the games are pretty easy (for an adult), but I find them to be good for filling time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was fun when I COULD OPEN game. *2019-02-25* Now game closes as it opens. How can you play a game that you can’t get to stay to stay open??? 😫 ### 1/5 — Jan 22 2017 *2017-01-22, version 1.2.5* App crashes in word search grab. Uselessness ### 1/5 — Didn't load. *2015-10-15, version 1.2* Game wouldn't load, I'm annoyed. ### 1/5 — Idiot *2015-10-15* I hate it and I am 10 and I'm the best at all game and I can't even find any so if I can't find any in the word puzzles or anything on there then why can I triedevery level how do you people like it it's the most worst game in the world who ever made it should be ashamed of their selves nobody can find the words I hate it I asked all my family if they wanted they wanted to try to do it but and they all said yes but they couldn't find any words they all quit and my grandma mom is the best at every word puzzle every crossword puzzle every word puzzle number puzzle so she had to try over and over again and she is the best at tham all ever you are your jerk and you never should've made that i'm deleting it OK and now won't be on my phone I won't be able to read it and this is my right so everybody look at this because you're going to be in for a big treat and I want to get how you play and how do you even like it by and I hate this just remember I hate this bye ### 1/5 — Crosswords don't give solutions *2015-10-10, version 1.2* There seems to be no way to check the crossword to see if you're right. The clues are strange. And there's no way to go on to the next crossword until you finish the one that makes no sense. Annoying. Don't bother with the crosswords. I'm deleting it. ### 1/5 — Needs fixing *2015-09-20, version 1.2* Medium level puzzles are screwed up. Word clues don't match up with the numbers. Really a mess. Please fix. ### 1/5 — One of the Best Games *2015-09-16, version 1.2* This is one of the best games I ever played, if not the best. I enjoyed playing and forgot my boredom. Thanks a lot. ### 1/5 — Pretty bad app😡😐😒 *2015-09-15, version 1.2* Well I wanted to down load it but it said I had to pay a humongous fee and my friend had just got it and got it for free it said I hat to pay that fee because I was not compadible with a apple device and I have a I phone 5c so watch out if you don't have a iPhone your gonna have to pay a big fee..........other wise that the app is ok😂😂😂😏 ### 2/5 — Shuffle no longer working *2022-02-06* It stopped about level three. Why? ### 2/5 — Fun but no way to close ads *2018-09-21* I enjoy the game but every bad that pops up does not offer a way to close it without choosing “install”. Every time i use any other free app on my iPad or phone, and ads pop up, there’s an “X” to close the ad after it runs. Ads on Modern Words don’t offer that option. Super annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-08-13, version 1.2.5* Great all in one for this type of thing ### 5/5 — Crossword puzzle & word Searches *2016-12-14* I really enjoy word searches.
