### 2/5 — Loved this game

*2026-05-25, version 10.7.49*

Score was 71 been playing for years on facebook now score is 1

### 2/5 — Ads

*2025-12-20, version 10.7.49*

Have played this game on Facebook for several years but recently got a notice FB is ending game option in fall 2026 so I got the app.  The ads are ridiculously long.  One game and then an ad that never seems to let me out.  Not sure I’ll keep this app it’s so annoying.

### 2/5 — UPDATE YOUR DICTIONARY

*2025-11-14, version 10.7.49*

Both “flipside” and “uncoaxed” are indeed words, but weren’t recognized.

### 3/5 — Too little rewards

*2025-10-23, version 10.7.49*

I think you should do better with the rewards for winning.

### 3/5 — Joyce

*2025-03-28, version 10.7.49*

I don’t enjoy the game as much as I used to before they changed the way the letters come up and the double and triple word letters hardly ever come up.  I also don’t like the way players are not matched with players who have the same number of crowns.

### 5/5 — Acceptance of words

*2025-01-04*

Love this game, just wish you would accept some of the words that scrabble accepts that you do not. Also be good to have a shuffle feature for the letters, again as with scrabble.

### 5/5 — Puzzly Words

*2024-12-31*

I truly am enjoying this game although I can’t seem to get pass 3 crowns.  Also the game has started me back at zero twice now and both times I have lost all my friends.  This time I have not been able to recover any of them, I don’t understand why this is happening.  Emails from me are not accepted for some reason or can’t be delivered.  Don’t answer me on the App Store, I don’t have access to it.
Thanks

### 5/5 — Daily brain exercise

*2024-12-23*

Puzzly words is great to play when you can’t get off to sleep or you wake too early. And I don’t mean that because it’s boring, on the contrary, it’s great for quick thinking. I really like it. It’s entertaining any time of the day. Warning - It’s addictive.

### 5/5 — Dropped sound

*2024-09-01, version 10.7.49*

Why before or during a game the sound disappears?? Very frustrating when I can’t hear countdown timer. All ads have sound, just not this game

### 5/5 — Game.

*2024-08-30*

Don’t enjoy all the adds.

### 2/5 — New - Have to log in to FB  every time you open the app

*2024-08-27, version 10.7.49*

This is getting tiresome. I used to just be logged in via FB, and be able to open the app several times a day, whenever I had a free fee minutes, and play a game. Now every single time, it requires login via a pop up for FB login, actually two pop ups. Tiresome. Please go back to how it was.

### 4/5 — Issues opening with iPad

*2024-07-20, version 10.7.49*

A few updates ago when it opens on iPad its display is weird.

### 5/5 — Ads

*2024-04-20, version 10.7.46*

I have played this game for years and love it. I’m so glad u got rid of the ads. I didn’t play as much when u had the ads

### 5/5 — Puzzly words

*2024-03-29*

Love the game

### 1/5 — Wish it was more fair

*2026-01-10, version 10.7.49*

Dictionary definitely needs to be updated and people with 3 crowns or less should not be matched against people with 4 or 5.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-16, version 10.7.49*

This game on’t let me let me log on to my account without logging on through my fb account again even though I’m already logged on my fb account to even get to this game to begin with. I don’t even log out.

Plus way too many commercials.

### 1/5 — Mid

*2025-04-30, version 10.7.49*

Coins are too expensive. Ads after every game. The skill based matchmaking is the WORST, I’m being paired with absolute tryhards it’s not even fun

### 1/5 — My game gets stuck on ads

*2024-10-07, version 10.7.49*

Currently my game is stuck on an ad. Nothing seem to help, including to “get” the game in the ad. So sad, it was THE best game for a long while

### 1/5 — Puzzly

*2024-05-29, version 10.7.49*

I am forced to delete puzzly words due to not being able to turn the ads off. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — 🙎🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

*2024-05-15*

Update: WHAT HAPPEN TO MY AD-FREE??? OMG, “WHY” the change. The worst interface, ugh...the previous layout IS what won me over to begin playing puzzly words, after playing word battle for over 8years..The previous layout or interface WAS what set this app apart from the other competitors. NOW, it is the SAME bubble-KIDDIE layout as many of the other word games🤦🏻‍♀️. I am VERY disappointed. This WAS my EVERYDAY game. My goodness somethings are better left as is!! I LOVED LOVED LOVED this game but now I do not get the same excitement as I enter the app since the update... I am sure you guys will not return the game back to the original format so I am sadly deleting my favorite game. Wow, this game was were I could escape from the world AND it also allowed me to learn, while having fun...FYI WHAT IS THE number 4 which sits behind the add a letter?? I’m 🤷🏻‍♀️ confused...PLEASE PUT IT BACK!! Come on fans let’s petition for a return to the original format SOON!! I need this game in my life, hahahahaha. Seriously, I really would love to continue playing, if the format and layout could be reverse, however, for now I am no longer interested in this game and have deleted. I’m a sad long time app lover...It was good while it last, I guess it’s true ALL good things come to an end! Goodbye 👋🏽 Ex-Blue Puzzly Words!!

### 1/5 — Bad review seem to disappear

*2023-05-23*

I have left repeated reviews that seem to vanish about the lack of tech-support. I have sent three emails to help@puzzlywords and never get a response. Last night I came back to review again and saw where they suggested I send an email to them which I had already done twice and they don’t answer! The review no longer appears either - none of them do. Why must these people play stupid games and waste my time? Why not just be accountable and respond to your users who try to spend money with you? DUH for 55.
The take away from all of this is - do not spend any money on this app because if you have a problem, they will ignore you.

### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing

*2023-01-21, version 10.6.95*

I’m so sick of this game crashing. It’s almost every single game. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — I love to play the game . . .

*2022-10-28, version 10.5.58*

. . . but I am sick and tired of losing the game because of absolute d**kheads who play badly and then flood the game with letters in the last round. Usually these idiots don’t win—they just cost me my win to the second-place scorer. Often my mind has moved onto something else and I’m not prepared. And that spoiler option changes the game from who is best at vocabulary and spelling to who is most coordinated. I’m done with it—have had too many games spoiled by low-vocab morons.

### 1/5 — New version is not compatible with old iPad!

*2022-01-12, version 10.5.58*

I used to be able to play this on my older iPad which has a larger screen. The update I installed yesterday rendered the app useless. The page flashes the opening page and then shuts down!

### 5/5 — Use every day

*2026-07-14*

I used this app to check for brain fog and overcome it, every morning for many years. It’s on every device I own. When I have brain fog it causes me to try so hard, so, to overcome brain fog, I just start typing words and let my brain do the work on its own. 

I wish that I could see the word of the day in game, because I forget it when I have brain fog. 
It’s a fun game and I really enjoy it every day. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-07-14, version 10.7.49*

Keeps me on my toes. Love making words, so much fun and challenging .

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-09*

I love this game. Really makes me think..

### 5/5 — My favourite game

*2026-04-27, version 10.7.49*

I love Puzzly words! I play several times a day

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-20, version 10.7.49*

Have enjoyed Puzzly Words for years

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2026-03-27*

Great game, quick to play.  There are a few players, always the same ones, with 6 stars that take a long time before setting out a word and it’s usually a word I’ve never heard before so I wonder if they are using an anagram finder. Doesn’t stop me playing but as soon as I see their names I know I’m not going to win!

### 5/5 — Best game

*2026-03-21, version 10.7.49*

Best game ever no app interruption. What more could I asked for

### 5/5 — Review it is a good game and I enjoy playing it.

*2026-01-06*

How can I play with my friends? Still do not like it as much as the old style. My list of friends are not on here like they used to be.

### 5/5 — Greatttt!!!!

*2025-09-18, version 10.7.49*

Fun and stimulating to play!

### 5/5 — Wishful thinking ❤️

*2025-02-14, version 10.7.49*

I wish we could make larger words so the game could be more challenging..but it’s an awesome game! I’ve been playing for over fifteen years now❤️
