Can only play once in 24 hrs. If you accidentally hit the resume button instead of new game, you’re stuck and have to wait another 24 hrs. It should give you the option to have a new game in the 24 hr period even if you wanted to try yesterday’s game again. Very frustrating! ### 4/5 — Needs a daily puzzle feature *2026-08-08, version 1.1.8* Since having introduced this app to friends, we occasionally send each other screenshots of puzzles we found difficult or are particularly proud of solving (without Solve help) I would suggest a once in 24hrs Daily Puzzle option. Guess that would need to be regional also for time zones. The same set of letters to solve, and a sharing method, and should not have Solve available or maybe indicate if Solve was used. ### 4/5 — Great Game *2026-07-22, version 1.1.6* I bought the physical edition I liked it so much. One small issue with the latest update is it jumps right to the longest ads I’ve ever seen as soon as you solve the puzzle. Give me at least a second to appreciate the win. Otherwise, excellent. Buy the physical! ### 3/5 — Ehhhh *2026-07-15, version 1.1.4* The free game is not worth the loooooong ads, even now when u can play more than once a day i stop if the ad goes for so long….it reminds me i have other more productive things to do. I’ll probably delete the app ### 2/5 — Ads are terrible *2026-07-15, version 1.1.4* The new ad stuff is horrible. It won’t let me X out of the ad at all and it won’t let me just bypass it. It was nice playing for this past year but looks like my time has come to an end. ### 1/5 — Ads Waiting *2026-07-13, version 1.1.3* I used to enjoy this game. Once a day, I’d see if I could get the solve. 6 months later there are ads. They freeze and don’t load, so second ad is needed. Thanks for the memories. ### 1/5 — Great game! *2026-07-06, version 1.1.2* I play it every day and i want to buy the physical version. ### 4/5 — Money Grab *2026-07-03, version 1.1.2* I love this game. The ONLY issue is that you are limited to playing once daily UNLESS you pay $5.99 to unlimited play. Not reasonable. Does the developer really want to get people to love his game. If money is needed charge money for some kind of perks. Or better yet add free perks for solving more games. ### 3/5 — Real words not playable *2026-06-29, version 1.1.2* Multiple times I’ve tried to play real words and it will not recognize them. For example “cling” was not shown to be a playable word. I do own the physical dice game and can say that is amazing. ### 3/5 — Love this game *2026-06-21, version 1.1.2* I have the physical version as well, but the digital is part of my daily morning routine. Both are an excellent mix of challenging and quick. I wish though, that the streak feature worked properly and that it wouldn’t keep asking me for a review every time I play. ### 4/5 — 👍 *2026-06-19, version 1.1.2* 👍 ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-06-10, version 1.1.2* Good but wish I didn’t have to pay to do more than one a day ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sudden Use of Long Ads, Unfortunately Loosing a Customer *2026-07-18, version 1.1.6* It’s so sad that this game has moved to have extremely long ads. I’m even having issues with ads not allowing you to click the “x” to close the ad, making the game unusable. I worry that the original creator of this loved game has decided to sell it off to some money hungry company that doesn’t prioritize the customer experience. Because of all this, I’m deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Janky Ads *2026-07-18, version 1.1.6* I was playing this game each day. Recently, ads were introduced that would not end and I could not get through to the other side of the ad. It messed up my stats and counted losses against my overall record that did not occur. I’ll no longer play this game on the app. ### 1/5 — Ads ruined this app *2026-07-17, version 1.1.5* I enjoy Q-Less. It’s a fun game, both on the app and the actual dice game. They recently added ads to the app which has made the experience sooo much worse. It’s out of the daily rotation now. ### 1/5 — You ruined this game with ads. *2026-07-15, version 1.1.4* Free version is absolutely ruined. The ads are so long and obnoxious they don’t even allow you to skip to get to the game. I own your dice and will stick to that. ### 1/5 — Broken now *2026-07-15, version 1.1.4* Now there are ads before you can play a game but the ads never stop to get to the game. There is no skip. The ads go on forever. Now it is completely unplayable. This happened before I updated the app and continues to be the same after I updated it. Completely unplayable broken app. ### 1/5 — Ads have ruined app *2026-07-15, version 1.1.4* Used to really enjoy the app, I even bought the physical version of the game, but the ads are so long that I just choose to not play on the app anymore. ### 1/5 — Ads Are Way Too Long *2026-07-14, version 1.1.4* I understand the “Ad” game; but, the ads go on & on…way too long! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-07-14, version 1.1.4* As an owner of a copy of the physical game I had hoped the update would offer those who have bought the game to have a preferential subscription rate for the app or, indeed, no subscription at all. Prior to the update the app was nice for a daily game - but no more. ### 1/5 — Love this game, but *2026-07-13, version 1.1.3* Lots of fun (and I have a physical copy of it, too) and I realize increased monetization is the direction of all things, but the ads are long enough to create an incentive to delete the game rather than pay for it. ### 1/5 — New Update No Thanks *2026-07-13, version 1.1.3* As a longtime daily player, the new update with forced ads has made me delete the game. No thanks for ruining a perfectly fun game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unusable without a subscription *2026-07-21, version 1.1.6* I get why ads are necessary. However in this case there is no escaping the ads no matter how long you (pretend) to watch them. The game never loads. If this was a glitch then it is a costly one because users are leaving in droves. Too bad because the game was brilliant ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-07-18, version 1.1.5* Lots of fun and I have a physical copy of it, too. The addition of ads is less cumbersome than the way it has been done on some other apps. ### 5/5 — Ads *2026-07-18, version 1.1.5* Bluh ### 5/5 — Mind boggling *2026-07-15, version 1.1.4* I have the in person game and the app. Love them both. This would be great for teachers to have as a bell ringer. ### 5/5 — Best game EVER! *2026-06-27, version 1.1.2* Love this game! I play whenever there’s a spare moment - between activities and appointments, when I travel, when I’m waiting for something or someone, when my day is winding down. Love the challenge - thanks for creating such an entertaining game! ### 5/5 — Friends *2026-06-24, version 1.1.2* I’m sitting on my couch with my friends John and Sherry who introduced me to this great game! ### 5/5 — Tom *2026-06-20, version 1.1.2* Love you Tom. Big fan ### 5/5 — The best game ever *2026-05-16, version 1.1.2* It’s the best game ever ### 5/5 — Words *2026-05-12, version 1.1.2* I love it! ### 5/5 — Perfect Fun *2026-05-04, version 1.1.2* Very challenging. This is a very nice game for phone or iPad. I have not experienced any bugs! It is well designed and it even gives the meanings of words. I’m loving it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
