### 4/5 — Love it, but…

*2025-11-18, version 3.1.0*

…there are too many words in other languages. I would love to be able to reduce the number of words by selecting English words only. I’m never going to clear a puzzle as things are. Frustrating, as I love word games.

### 4/5 — Simply Boggle

*2022-04-04*

I enjoy the simplicity of this Boggle app. There isn’t anything gimmicky about the game - leveling up, lives, ways to earn extra time/hints... simply test your eyes and mind for a few minutes at a time. No frills, but in the best way.
Updating the app with a daily puzzle challenge is fun way to see how your vocabulary and word-finding skills compare to others.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your kind review! We're glad you're having a great time on Muddle and hope you continue to do so! Have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 4/5 — Great game. One improvement.

*2022-01-24*

Great game! Better than most word games with similar objectives. Only thing is that I wish when I reviewed words I missed that I could tap a word for the definition.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review! We haven't quite gotten around to including word definitions as of yet, but it's definitely on our list of future improvements! Thank you for playing Muddle and have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 4/5 — Great for a free app version of Boggle

*2021-02-12*

The ads aren’t too bad. I do wish you could just start the next game straight away after seeing results without having to go back to the main screen.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review! You'll be happy to know that we have now implemented this feature and you're able to jump straight in to the next game without going back to the home page! Thank you for playing Muddle and have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 4/5 — Quick game

*2020-09-03, version 2.0.0*

A fun way to help increase vocabulary ...

### 4/5 — Fun game!

*2020-08-22*

One of my favorite Boggle apps for iPhones. You can decide on your own timer.  Would be even better if there was a more detailed scoring system, like telling you got 100 points out of 150 total. Also missing a button to rotate the board.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review! You'll be pleased to know that in our latest update we have implemented board rotation and updated the scoring system! I'd love for you to give it a go and let us know what you think! Thank you and have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 5/5 — Muddle

*2020-07-07, version 2.0.0*

Good game . Keeps brain alert

### 5/5 — Clean and simple

*2020-06-26, version 2.0.0*

It’s pretty perfect. No extra junk.

### 5/5 — Added great feature

*2020-05-27*

I expressed my disappointment with the inability to see the game board when reviewing the missed words and they added the feature within just a few days!

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review! We take feedback on board here, so if you have any other suggestions, please feel free to let us know! We're glad you're enjoying Muddle and hope you have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 5/5 — Love muddle

*2020-05-23, version 1.3.1*

Great game

### 4/5 — Better than anything else out there

*2020-05-18*

The original EA Boggle was amazing, but this is an acceptable substitute. The answers are often clipped so you can only see part of the words, both on phone and tablet. You can’t replay a game. You can’t look up the word definition. Those would be the big changes I’d make. But compared to the audio visual assault of the official Boggle game with all the ads and challenges and crazy animations, this is the best I’ve found.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review! We have fixed the clipping issue that some users were experiencing and you can now replay the same board! We haven't quite implemented word definitions yet, but it's definitely on our radar for a future release! Thank you for playing Muddle and we hope you have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-04-29, version 3.1.0*

I’ve tried several times to play this game but there’s no instructions and no button to enter the words!

### 1/5 — ADS!

*2022-06-03, version 3.0.0*

Who wants to play a game in which every time one clicks on “play” an ad comes up to block it - often 8 or more times I have to swipe it away!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t include many words

*2022-01-28, version 2.1.0*

Doesn’t include all words. There are many 3 and 4 letter words that are “invalid” while others score/count just fine. It’s a real shame to because I liked the interface.

### 2/5 — needs work

*2020-06-18*

new version shuts off other app’s music after ad. This will make me stop using this app. 

letters in word lists are shrunk. iphone 8 with larger font set. need to see words correctly. eg HEN looks like HFN. Bottom pixels not shown. 

Like the app. short ads (if you must) are better than most. Will update review if sound and word list is fixed.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review! We've investigated these issues and believe we now have a fix in place! We've also updated our dictionary and removed some of the adverts that were causing issues. We'd love for you to give us another try! Have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 2/5 — Paying to remove ads doesn’t work

*2020-05-24*

I paid the $2.99 to remove ads. Still getting the annoying ads for a game that kills fish. 

Not pleased. Tried to restore purchases...game says there are none. Tried to repurchase the “remove ads” feature. Apple says I already bought it and it will be restored. Never works. Just spinning circle of doom.   Tried complete reinstall but no luck

Good game but can’t recommend due to sketchy ad removal fee and lack of delivery.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your review! We can confirm that on an older version of the app we were experiencing issues with the "restore purchases" feature on some Apple accounts, however this has now been fixed in a later version. We've also removed some of the more problematic adverts that were causing issues. We can only apologise for any inconvenience this has caused you and hopefully this doesn't put you off using Muddle in the future. Have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 3/5 — It’s clean but short on vocabulary

*2021-03-25*

I did like the clean design and gameplay, but I was disappointed that it is short on vocabulary. For example, tried din (a lot of loud noise) and it was rejected. 

I may try again in the future if the dictionary is made to be more expansive.

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry you're having issues with the dictionary on Muddle. Please note that we have released an update recently which has updated the words in the dictionary to hopefully negate issues like these! We hope you'll give us another try. Have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 3/5 — Dictionary

*2021-01-11, version 2.1.0*

Interesting and absorbing. However, the dictionary needs updated, lots of common words not included

### 3/5 — 1 Problem: Doesn’t Use Real Words

*2020-12-10*

This game is great except for one problem and unfortunately it’s a big one. At least 2/3 of the worlds available are not real English words. They may be acronyms, initials, texting  language, and some of them seem, frankly, to not be anything at all.

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry you're having issues with the dictionary on Muddle. Please note that we have released an update recently which has updated the words in the dictionary to hopefully negate issues like these! We hope you'll give us another try. Have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 3/5 — need 5x5 board option

*2020-05-19, version 1.3.0*

I’m used to playing 5x5 boggle and you just can’t do much by comparison with 4x4 in terms of getting longer words.

### 3/5 — A Few Adjustments Required

*2020-05-09*

I love the game, but I make a few suggestions.

Allow the player to return to the board to see what he missed.

Cumulate the scores.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review! We can confirm we've added in the function for you to return to the board once completed so you can see the missing words, however unfortunately we've not quite gotten around to cumulating scores as of yet! It's definitely on our list to add in, so keep an eye out! Have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging

*2025-01-06*

Like the one or two player options and big or small board.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your kind review! We're glad you're having fun playing Muddle! Thank you for playing Muddle and have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-03-29, version 3.0.0*

Great word scrabble type game!

### 5/5 — Supercalafragelisticexbealidocious

*2022-06-29, version 3.0.0*

Nice game

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2021-10-21*

I play this game a lot.  It’s fast paced and it’s easy to use.  If you’re a word person, you will love this game.

### 5/5 — Great fun, old classic

*2021-05-18, version 2.1.0*

There are so many odd words I never knew existed! Discovering them by sheer chance on Muddle is a great way of passing the time.

### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging

*2021-04-05, version 2.1.0*

Like the one or two player options and big or small board.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your kind review! We're glad you're having fun playing Muddle! Thank you for playing Muddle and have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2021-02-07*

That’s the only problem I have with it.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your kind review! We're glad you're having a great time on Muddle and hope you continue to do so! Have a lovely day! - The Muddle Team

### 5/5 — Fun, Challenging

*2020-12-09, version 2.1.0*

I thoroughly enjoy this app. I’m learning lots of new words!  I like a game that is challenging and this certainly is.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2020-10-30, version 2.1.0*

Just like Boggle but not as noisy :-)

### 5/5 — Clean, straightforward App

*2020-07-09*

Exactly what I was looking for. A clean, straightforward Bogle app. No frills, just straight up bogle action. There is a 5 sec ad every other game or so, but I didn’t feel like it was invasive or too much. Perfect amount of ads for a free app, plus each game is 3 minutes, so a 5 sec wait time every other game is not a problem at all.
