Taking a break till you fix this. ### 2/5 — Too many adds *2026-02-07, version 1.9.1* An advert for every single time you finish crossword. Very easy and got bored quickly because of the adds ### 4/5 — why i gave this game 4 stars *2026-02-03, version 1.9.1* ‘cause it’s really fun and it helps my brain but the only reason i didn’t give it 5 stars is because of the ads ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-01-26, version 1.9.1* To many ads ### 3/5 — Good word search but… *2026-01-24, version 1.9.1* Good game. I only downloaded as I noticed they had an “remove ad sale “ for 99p. So I thought I would give it a go. The game is good. Can’t fault that. But when I tried to remove the adds it wanted £5.99! Shame as would have liked to continue playing. ### 4/5 — So far it’s good. *2026-01-21, version 1.9.1* I have only gotten through a few puzzles before writing this review. I enjoy the daily puzzles and I’m hoping the puzzles get harder as I go up through the levels. ### 2/5 — Game stalled... *2026-01-12, version 1.9.1* Not cool at all I had so many points, earned all the butterfly, etc. Then the game just stalls on me. Had to delete amd start over. ### 2/5 — False ad removal *2026-01-01, version 1.9.1* Downloaded version to remove and still have ads ### 3/5 — Ads mid play *2025-12-28, version 1.9.0* I don’t mind the adds between levels but in these pop up middle of the game. ### 2/5 — Updates *2025-12-24, version 1.9.0* When you update this app it takes you back to beginning level🤬 ### 3/5 — Royal pain *2025-11-30, version 1.8.9* About The time that you begin to enjoy the game, your stupid ads kick in. ### 5/5 — Review *2025-11-30, version 1.8.9* Enjoying the game.

Each stage gets tougher..! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-19, version 1.8.8* Very user friendly ### 3/5 — Nice game…. *2025-11-16, version 1.8.8* Too many ads ### 4/5 — Good game *2025-11-16, version 1.8.8* Too many adds ### 5/5 — It’s a great game to play! *2025-11-16, version 1.8.8* My Mom had Alzemizers.

You spend more time waiting to X out the new game than playing word search. ### 1/5 — I love it! *2025-11-19, version 1.8.8* Always push yourself into uncharted waters. Learn something new every day. ### 1/5 — Lies *2025-11-18, version 1.8.8* It’s supposed to be one thing, but it turned out to be another thing ### 1/5 — Has ads *2025-10-23, version 1.8.6* When I did upgrade to new version. Said free no adds. It has ads after each puzzle ### 1/5 — Restart *2025-10-16, version 1.8.6* I was on level 30 and had to start all over after the update ### 1/5 — Keeps saying to download newer version *2025-10-14, version 1.8.6* This has me super annoyed. Almost as soon as I started playing it told me to download the newer version. At first I ignored it, but it kept doing it, so I did…and guess what? It didn’t save my progress, and also gave me the same message about downloading the 2025 version…which within minutes told me I need to download 2025 AGAIN…I’m deleting this and going to do my best to stay away from your games. ### 1/5 — Why a update *2025-10-14, version 1.8.6* Getting told to update game and can’t play now and when I say yes it downloads like a new game so I don’t even have my place. This needs fixed ### 1/5 — Horrible ads *2025-10-12, version 1.8.6* Tricked into downloading this game while playing word search. It starts you at level one and is not an update. False advertising, spam game ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-09-23, version 1.8.5* That’s a very nice game easy-going no rushing.
