Great word game

I love this game! Please add more word searches, as I’ve completed them all.

Glitches

I have enjoyed this game for more about 15 years or more using the middle level of difficulty, but in recent months I have to delete and then reinstall the game almost every day. Today it started by showing all the answers, or the easiest level, at the very beginning. Other days it begins with the most difficult level. Some days it won’t start at all or makes me replay earlier games. I would have given it 5 stars if it was reliable like it used to be.

FAQ

What is Monkey Wrench?

Monkey Wrench is a word find quiz game that challenges players to solve clues before locating hidden words within a letter grid. It combines elements of word search and crossword puzzles with a unique twist.

How do you play Monkey Wrench?

You are presented with clues and a grid of hexagonal letter tiles. First, you must figure out the word based on the clue and category. Then, you trace or tap a path of connected tiles to spell out the word. Successfully finding the word clears tiles and progresses you through the puzzle.

What are the difficulty levels?

The game offers three difficulty levels: EASY, which shows all the answers to the clues; MEDIUM, which shows only the first letters of each word; and HARD, which provides blank spaces to fill in. You can also reset puzzles to try different difficulty levels.

Is Monkey Wrench free to play?

The app comes with one free bundle of 25 puzzles and access to the three most recent daily puzzles. Additional puzzle packs are available for purchase within the app.

What kind of categories are included?

The puzzles cover a wide range of subjects including movies, food, science, sports, music, fashion, history, and pop culture, often with fun wordplay incorporated into the clues.
