### 2/5 — Are these even words?

*2025-10-06, version 2.3*

Some of the words seem like they were generated by an LLM that barely knows how to put letters together. And there’s an ad after EVERY level. Plus, some of the puzzles do not have unique solutions. I love the Penny Press version of this puzzle and am sad this app couldn’t get close.

### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2025-08-28*

I would give zero clues if I could. I paid to remove all adds. Nevertheless I am constantly getting adds. Moreover, the words in this game are for the most part not real English words. If that wasn’t enough, you can’t see all of the words at once (just the ones starting with one letter), so you have to make guesses . You can’t make educated guesses, because the other words aren’t likely to be real words. Then you have to erase. However they only give you 10 erases and then you have to pay $10 for a few more erasers, otherwise the game is completely stopped and you can’t continue. I’ll never even look at any games by this developer again. Apple should investigate for fraud, since they collect your money for removing adds, but don’t remove them. 
In answer to developer’s response, I contacted the support team before writing my review. They told me that the remove ads button, which  said “ remove all ads for $5.99” only removed some ads. Thus, my indication that this developer is using Apple as a vehicle to commit consumer fraud. I’m still thinking about filing a report with the FTC, which is the governing body for enforcing those laws.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. We’d like to clarify how the "Remove Ads" option works in our game.
The "Remove Ads" purchase is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase designed to remove all interstitial ads between levels. Once activated, these ads should no longer appear. Some non-intrusive elements (for example, optional rewarded ads that players can choose to watch for bonuses) may still remain, as they are part of the game’s design.
We want to emphasize that our app is fully aligned with Apple’s App Store policies. We do not engage in fraud, and the purchase functions as intended according to Apple’s rules for in-app purchases. We apologize if any misunderstanding occurred.

Regarding gameplay, word selection, and the eraser system, we appreciate your comments and will review them carefully with our team to improve future updates. Your input is valuable in helping us make the game more enjoyable. Regards, Support Team.

### 2/5 — More erasers

*2025-07-15, version 2.3*

This is a fun game and can be challenging, however, it could use more chances to earn erasers like after playing the daily challenges. Also I noticed that when I watch an ad to get double rewards, I don’t get the rewards and then have to watch another ad to get to the next game. Please fix this. Why do I keep playing the same games over and over again?

### 3/5 — Need improvement

*2024-02-07, version 2.3*

Great game but needs improvement.  You paid for the ad removal but still has ads. I think if there is a option to turn Off sound, it should turn Off all sound including when ads are playing. If tug fix those problems then I'll be a great game.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-01-03*

Love the game but it will not let me play the daily levels anymore. Says “no connection” whether I’m connected to wifi or not and it’s not my internet cause everything else will work and it even lets me play the regular levels. Starting to get a little aggravated by it.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback. Is the game updated to the latest version? If the issue persists, please contact our support team via the app. Regards, Support Team.

### 1/5 — No worth it

*2023-12-01, version 2.3*

Gibberish and scam is the best way to describe this game. Even if you pay for it, you still have to watch ads.

They use some words but the rest is gibberish. Please only use from webster’s dictonary. It’s not right to use random letters that are not even a word in any language.

### 5/5 — Engaging cognitivey

*2023-11-14, version 2.3*

This will engage your own cognition with using differential use of anyone’s cognitive brain illustrations

### 5/5 — Thank you, thank you, thank you.

*2023-10-04*

I have been searching for a digital places please puzzle for a long time and was so happy when I found yours. You did an excellent job at programming it too. Is there any chance you could also program black magic and stretch letter puzzles?

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your nice feedback! We do highly appreciate your vivid interest to our app. We'll definitely forward your suggestion further to our team in charge of the project. So that they can consider and discuss it. Best regards, Support Team.

### 5/5 — This is A Fun Game

*2023-09-26, version 2.3*

Ok?
