However, whenever I get a high score it seems goes into “Oops, we are having technical difficulties” and I can’t get it back . ### 4/5 — Love Wordmania *2026-03-31, version 3.8.0* I love this game, but I don’t like that it says some WORDS are NOT WORDS, yet they are in the dictionary! ### 3/5 — Was the App changed? *2026-02-23, version 3.8.0* No longer showing the scores for the Speed Round games or giving tokens. Why the change? ### 3/5 — Ads😒 *2026-01-18, version 3.7.3* Too many ads for a busy lady ### 3/5 — Days playing *2026-01-11, version 3.7.2* I keep getting kicked back to day one. On the other PCH games I am on 40+. I play them all at least twice a day at the same time. ### 2/5 — App Down *2025-10-22, version 3.6.0* When will the App be working again? ### 4/5 — Reward Emails Don’t Work *2025-05-19, version 3.4.5* The game is fine. However, when I get emails promising additional tokens or hints the link just takes me to the App Store where I open the app… and no rewards are given. Should either stop the emails or fix this. ### 5/5 — Fun game- Decent self challenge exercise- fun and entertaining *2025-04-25, version 3.3.5* Worthwhile fun self challenge ### 5/5 — cognitive *2025-04-19, version 3.3.5* im not very good at words and this is a good way to get better and bonus earn rewards ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Quit working *2026-06-01, version 3.8.0* This is my favorite game to relax and go to sleep by, but it’s not working for a month. I miss it so much. ### 1/5 — Cannot enter sweepstakes *2026-05-16, version 3.8.0* The app has been completely abandoned. Only way to enter sweepstakes now is through subscriptions, buying stuff, or mail in entries. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Reward You *2026-04-20, version 3.8.0* Any game you play doesn’t reward you for playing. So if you’re playing for entries, don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Apps *2026-04-16, version 3.8.0* PCH slots is the best. Please bring back the original. Thank you, Patrick ### 1/5 — Lame *2025-11-05, version 3.6.0* I think “sea” is a word ### 1/5 — Dear “new” PCH… *2025-10-11, version 3.6.0* 1: PLEASE stop running adds that CANNOT be closed! 2:PLEASE stop opening my web browser WITHOUT permission! 3: PLEASE stop opening my App store WITHOUT permission! THANKS! ### 1/5 — TOO MANY ADS *2025-09-09, version 3.6.0* It’s Annoying How Many Ads Come After Each Game 😒 ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX!!!! *2025-06-17, version 3.5.2* I did the update today and the TOTAL TOKENS that I have accumulated so far DISAPPEARED FROM THE TOP OF THE GAME! There is NO TOTAL TOKENS BUTTON ANYMORE! Please PUT BACK the TOTAL TOKENS BUTTON at the TOP of the screen, like you had before the update, so I can see how many tokens that I have earned so far! Thank you! ### 1/5 — Fun until the issues started *2025-03-15, version 3.3.4* I used to love this game turn issues happened. 8 months ago, my daily check in didn’t register. Corporate had me do a few things. I moved on. Happened again recently and corporate told me i didn’t sign on on a day. I knew i had but moved on again. Tonight a new 6 day game started and my daily reward counter zeroed out and started me off at the very beginning. This is ridiculous!!!! Update 3/14/25: had the same issues again recently. I emailed customer service with all the information they ask for every time i emailed them before and they didn’t reply. ### 1/5 — Dear PCH… *2025-02-09, version 3.3.4* 1: PLEASE stop running adds that CANNOT be closed! 2:PLEASE stop opening my web browser WITHOUT permission! 3: PLEASE stop opening my App store WITHOUT permission!
