### 5/5 — . this game is the best. I have been waiting several years for it to return. Apple could not pick it

*2026-06-04, version 16.0*

I was contact with this game for five years every game. I’ve tried none of them even come close or even compared to this game. This game is awesome and it is one of a kind. Enjoy

### 1/5 — Ad’s

### 5/5 — Need updated

*2018-05-04, version 3.0*

Please update this app one the best games out there

### 5/5 — Fun and educational

*2016-02-03, version 3.0*

As a teacher I am always looking for games that teach as well as entertain.  When my 7-year old saw me playing this he asked to try it. Soon his brothers were helping and then their friends joined in.  I consider this a fine way to teach the value of vocabulary and the many contexts of words.

### 4/5 — Addictive, satisfying word play

*2015-09-13, version 3.0*

Good, healthy and fun brain challenge. Hard to put down. How to play is mostly self explanatory but a few seemingly key elements are not spelled out e.g. red versus green clues.

### 5/5 — Next Word Level

*2015-08-20, version 3.0*

This is a fabulous word game! It is intriguing and sometimes very difficult to solve! That makes it brain worthy and thinking worthy on every level!

### 5/5 — Excellent & Addictive!!!!! Please add more levels!!!! :)

*2015-01-16, version 3.0*

It's been awhile since I have found a word game that I cannot put down! Please, please, please!!!!! Add more levels!!! Thank you soo much!!

### 4/5 — Excellent game

*2013-09-01, version 3.0*

I love the game, of course, I paid for it.  I like it the best of all their games of which I purchased three.  The only sues I have is sometimes their words that are pre-placed can be in the wrong spot. It isn't too much trouble, I eventually figure it out. And that I cannot play my own music while playing. Their music is enough to drive someone mad out of their mind. So, I turn it off.  But the game is sound and worth it.   :)

### 5/5 — Word up!

*2013-08-24, version 3.0*

I love this game. It keeps you thinking

### 3/5 — Should have read reviews 1 & 4

*2013-08-18, version 3.0*

I tried multiple times to get words to 'stick' then it froze up after the third puzzle. Great game when it works. I've played it on a friends kindle and I loved it. Just wasted a buck. :(
