### 4/5 — A good game, but could be better

*2022-12-29, version 2.2.6*

This is a very good game indeed however, the categories are not accurate because for example, ceda is not a vegetable it is a tree. Also I would like to see more categories added to the list. I think it’s been awhile since has been updated, but I do hope that the developer does keep up as it is a very good game indeed.

### 3/5 — An old fave

*2022-03-27, version 2.2.6*

It does seem like it’s giving serial vowels often though, which isn’t conducive to making many words, since later when I need to “buy a vowel” 😉 I’ve used them all!
 I too would appreciate more categories of word lists, especially after years of playing.
Someone complained their stats weren’t saved. I thought mine were. The game still prompts me to enter new records so I hope so!

### 4/5 — Nice app - easy to pick up…

*2021-08-28, version 2.2.6*

and put down as needed.

Would like to see an update with a bigger animal list, the link to the developers doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Another good game for the blind

*2021-08-23, version 2.2.6*

This is a fun game and completely accessible for the blind using voice over. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Moxie

*2021-04-20, version 2.2.4*

Great game just wish it would play in landscape mode

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2021-02-08, version 2.2.4*

When I first started to play moxie , it was fun and exciting. I finally got a decent score and I was thrilled, and I thought I would get better with more game play. That didn’t happen, in fact I became worse! Who ever heard of that happening!? The only reason I added this is because I really enjoy other Blue Ox games and I wanted more. I must say, this is the worst one. After having this game for barely a month l am ready to delete it and most likely will.

### 3/5 — Cheats

*2020-09-11, version 2.2.4*

I’ve been playing this for years and finely saw what I suspected;  the game does not always register the points you get. Annoying, because that’s part of the fun.

### 2/5 — Too many “Twaddle” words

*2020-03-21, version 2.2.3*

Too many twaddle words that keep taking away your points.   Would be more fun if you actually felt like you were winning sometimes.   Always having more points taken away rather than gaining gets real old fast.   This won’t be a keeper game.

### 3/5 — Bug

*2020-03-12, version 2.2.3*

Great game...but this week the letters in my game are initially white, then change to black.  Small problem maybe.  Just annoying.

### 2/5 — Latest update makes this great game unplayable

*2020-03-05, version 2.2.3*

I love Moxie and have been playing it for years but the latest update changed the color of the letters from black to white, making them extremely hard to see against the wood grain background. I have to believe that this is an oversight as this color change could not have been intentional. Please fix it!!

### 3/5 — Enough of the Quick Brown Fox

*2020-02-12, version 2.2.1*

Please bring back your varied Daily Challenge

### 5/5 — Update

*2020-01-13, version 2.2.1*

I love this game. It’s addictive and smart and easy to play but not to master. I only wish they’d update it with more caragories.

### 3/5 — What happened to Moxie 2?

*2020-01-07, version 2.2.1*

No new daily challenges since the beginning of 2020...
And Moxie Classic should have the option of canceling a twaddle.

### 1/5 — Loved Moxie 2, Hate This!

*2020-01-30, version 2.2.1*

Where’s the daily challenge? Where’s list of letters? Angry that the original not available and there is only this lousy version.

Update 1/29/2019. Heard from the developer who ENTIRELY missed the point. Sure I can play the old game but there are no longer daily challenges and daily comparisons.

I think the new version remains totally awful on all levels and until they fix the interface and missing daily challenges, my review remains. And I deleted the new version because it’s such a disappointment.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-01-28, version 2.2.1*

They recommend viewing the video instructions. Good advice.  It is otherwise incomprehensible.  

But...  the “video” is just a still pic title page that doesn’t lead to any video.  They can’t even work this?  Not a good sign.  I tried several times, deleted and reloaded, etc.  

Going to delete it now, and not re-download.

It was free in the App Store, directed from isnoops.  Not even worth $0 though.

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2020-01-26, version 2.2.1*

I used to love this game but it’s stuck on quick, frown, box. Two weeks!

### 1/5 — Daily

*2020-01-19, version 2.2.1*

What happened to the daily word challenge?  Only thing I used on this game. Sorry I paid money for this one.

### 1/5 — Where is moxie 2?

*2020-01-09, version 2.2.1*

I had a later version of Moxie that is so much better. But now when I search for it on the App Store, it isn’t available. I had it on my previous iPad but can’t get it on my new iPad.  Anyone know what’s up?

### 1/5 — Lost game

*2020-01-09, version 2.2.1*

Was playing Moxie for years. The other day my game, the one where words were already on the screen and could be changed with the letters given to insert, froze up. When I couldn’t fix it I deleted it and went to this app to get again. I bought this game which appeared to be the same one and it only has the most basic program.

### 1/5 — Want the old game

*2020-01-03, version 2.2.1*

The daily challenge never changes. It always says Quick Brown Fox. Also, now it only show up vertically. The old one one was horizontal which is easier for me to use

### 1/5 — Broken!

*2019-05-20, version 2.2.1*

I loved this game.  Suddenly it starts with “Letter. 51 of 52” angd that  is it .. two letters and the game is over.....please fix this!

### 1/5 — Not fair

*2018-06-04, version 2.2.1*

Originally I enjoyed the challenge of this game. I have a pretty vast and varied vocabulary (that lovely alliteration is on the house) but the game gets too frustrating after a while. Only 5 out of 26 letters are vowels (6 if you count y) but if you’re needing a consonant the game will serve you up 8 vowels in a row. There doesn’t seem much that’s random or left to chance in this game. If I thought I’d have a fair chance of getting the letters I need to make a word, I’d love this game. And don’t even bother trying to get a ‘moxie’ word for the bonus. The letters you need will rarely pop up. So yeah. Not great.

### 1/5 — POS

*2018-03-26, version 2.2.1*

tutorial doesn’t play —waste of time and money

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Moxie rocks

*2026-06-13, version 2.2.6*

This game is just captivating one of the best word games on the App Store

### 5/5 — Free and fun

*2026-06-02, version 2.2.6*

Fun game, free and no ads. Can’t beat that.

### 5/5 — Happy Me

*2025-08-23, version 2.2.6*

Moxie, where have you been all my life? I absolutely love this game. I’m a word puzzle girl, and I love this one still figuring it out. But love it.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2025-07-29, version 2.2.6*

I really enjoy this game-
I am a long term cancerous brain tumor survivor and since treatment, my memory just isn’t the same.
Moxie is a fun game that’s great for the brain! #cancersucks 🎗️

### 5/5 — Play it all the time

*2025-04-10, version 2.2.6*

This was one of the first puzzle games I ever downloaded 10+ years ago. I use to compete with my mom all the time.

### 5/5 — Glad I found this again!

*2024-01-31, version 2.2.6*

I had this game on my other phones, lost it when I bought a new phone and lost half my apps, and kinda forgot about it and moved on.  Yesterday, I saw the word ‘moxie’ and went to the App Store and redownloaded it!!  LOVE THIS GAME!  It is a classy game, fun and challenging!  I had Moxie 2 also, I’ll have to see if I can get that one back, too!  Moxie rocks!!

### 5/5 — Moxie

*2024-01-06, version 2.2.6*

Such a great game

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-12-28, version 2.2.6*

Challenging!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-12-14, version 2.2.6*

This game is pure fun.  A simple, fun, easy but challenging game of words.  You make them up.  This app is the real deal.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Moxy

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.6*

A hint feature would be nice, and it would be more fun if there were more categories to pick from.
