### 5/5 — Fun

*2016-06-04, version 1.0.2*

Good puzzles!

### 5/5 — Good word search

*2016-04-23, version 1.0.2*

I like this word search because it relaxes you and the words aren't hard to find.  I am glad I got this game.  I don't have any complaints.

### 5/5 — Penny word search

*2016-04-20, version 1.0.2*

I like it. Very entertaining. Could be an educational vocabulary and spelling tool. Great entertaining, time consuming puzzles for all ages. Thank you for the free puzzles.

### 5/5 — Find a word

*2016-02-05, version 1.0.2*

Fantastic!!!! Love it!!!

### 4/5 — Nice!

*2015-12-28, version 1.0.2*

I like the puzzles a lot. I really like the fact that they aren't timed. I don't have to rush to beat the clock and I can even complete them later. 

They also give fun facts about the puzzles.
I wish there were more free puzzles but I'm satisfied with my purchases.

It can be a bit annoying having to rate them on a regular basis. I do wish that circles that ring the answers were a little darker. 

But this is a great circle a word game.

### 4/5 — Good app, begs for reviews

*2015-12-05, version 1.0.2*

App is fine and worth 5 stars, bought the additional puzzles after completing the samples and really like them. The reason for for this review and the four stars, sick to death of app begging for a review after every single puzzle completed!

### 4/5 — Good so far

*2015-08-24, version 1.0.2*

Have only played three sample games so far. No problems pretty much just like playing the ones you buy in books.

### 5/5 — Penny Dell Classic Word Search

*2015-07-23, version 1.0.2*

Excellent way to pass away time and relax. Great way to keep your mind alert!!!  Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great Word Search

*2015-07-20, version 1.0.2*

I love this app on my iPad. It's clear and concise - very easy to use!

### 5/5 — Hooked

*2015-07-05, version 1.0.2*

Love this app and didn't mind paying for the other puzzles.  Hard to put down and I can't wait for next series of puzzles!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2015-07-04, version 1.0.2*

A fun app

### 1/5 — App restoration crashes

*2023-12-30, version 1.0.2*

I have been trying to restore my complete purchase of word search and when I hit restore purchase your app crashes and still wants me to purchase a second tine, I then purchase and it says I already purchased it, I tap OK to get it again and YOU APP KEEPS CRASHING OVER AND OVER AGAIN and I cannot get it restored.  FIX THIS…

### 2/5 — Only 5 puzzles?

*2015-05-04, version 1.0.2*

After 5 puzzles you have to buy!
Don't waste your time!

### 2/5 — Irritating as hell!

*2015-03-02, version 1.0.2*

Between EVERY game they ask for a review, even after PAYING to upgrade the app.  I HATE apps that BEG for reviews. Let me play the game already without hounding me to rate the thing!  Had I known I would be harassed after EVERY game, I would NEVER have downloaded the thing.  Save yourself the irritation and stay FAR AWAY from this app. There HAVE to be better and less obnoxious games out there!

### 3/5 — Freezes Constantly

*2016-02-21, version 1.0.2*

Nice app, but the word list locks up constantly. The app has to be restarted over and over to get it to scroll so you can see all the words. Half your time is wasted trying to get the scroll to work. VERY ANNOYING!!!

### 3/5 — Buggy and keeps quitting

*2015-04-25, version 1.0.2*

I don't mind paying for content since the publisher is the largest printer of puzzle books on paper. The content itself is very good but the app keeps quitting multiple times after each  start. Eventually it settles down. PLEASE FIX THIS!!

### 4/5 — Alise

*2016-06-13, version 1.0.2*

Very addicting. Reminds me of the word search puzzles I used to do many years ago. Interesting variety of puzzles.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2016-05-29, version 1.0.2*

This is a nice simple app to pass the time.  Just like they're magazines.

### 4/5 — It's A Keeper

*2016-04-17, version 1.0.2*

I like this Word Search Puzzle.  It is challenging and makes you want to do more than one.  I only wish I could change the backgrounds to make it easier to see.  That being said, it is a good app.  I like that there are many words to find, unlike some of the other apps, that only give a limited number of words.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2016-01-09, version 1.0.2*

I will purchase all of the available puzzle packs.  So far this is the closest I've seen to my much loved word search games that I solved in Dell Word Search books. The layout is good, there are more than the 10 words you get in other apps that I tried.  Dell, keep them coming and, just for variety, how about some number searches and word twists?

### 4/5 — Stop asking

*2016-01-04, version 1.0.2*

The puzzles are fun but getting asked to do a review after every one,even after purchasing gets very annoying

### 5/5 — Great quality puzzles

*2025-07-31, version 1.0.2*

Even though there is a modest charge for a collection of word puzzles, it’s nice to not deal with any ads. The puzzles don’t require Wi-Fi once you’ve purchased them. Dell/Penny Press always have great quality magazine puzzles and these puzzles are the same high quality. Hope to see more variety of puzzles available.

### 5/5 — Puzzle

*2022-05-08, version 1.0.2*

Best puzzle word search that I have ever done on my iPad

### 5/5 — Enjoying these puzzles

*2020-06-05, version 1.0.2*

Waiting on my next shipment to arrive and found the online puzzles. So much fun!!

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2019-07-30, version 1.0.2*

User friendly, easy to see, one of the best word searches I have played in a long time!!

### 5/5 — More

*2019-03-02, version 1.0.2*

I so enjoy these two apps. Both Bible word search and Word search. I have both on two iPads and am almost finished both! I’m so looking forward to more puzzles. Thank you so much.

### 5/5 — best word search yet, BY FAR 🌟

*2018-01-19, version 1.0.2*

I've tried several word search apps but this is a million times better than any of them!!!  It's fascinating - they've got puzzles and clues that are so much more engaging than any other app I've seen!  Plus, they include a paragraph of concise and interesting info about the topic of the puzzle.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT!  As an added bonus, so far, there aren't any spelling errors - it's a miracle!  This is the real deal - fun, enchanting, and addictive!

### 5/5 — Best Word Search!!

*2017-08-20, version 1.0.2*

This is the best word search app ever!  I've tried many others and this is the most challenging and the most fun!  It has many words in each puzzle. Other apps only have 8 or 10 words per puzzle.  You've tried the rest now try the BEST!!

### 5/5 — Great word search

*2017-06-16, version 1.0.2*

Enjoy these puzzles. Lots of fun

### 5/5 — Enjoy all Penny Press word searches!

*2016-09-25, version 1.0.2*

Great! Wonderful when I can't get to my PennyDell word search books!

### 5/5 — Penny word

*2016-07-02, version 1.0.2*

Enjoy playing
