This game used to be one of my favorites. Now I have to watch ads after one single daily game, and have to pay to play game packs. Can’t even one-time pay to remove ads. I am going to have to uninstall this, which makes me mad.
‘The daily puzzle is not available right now Please try again later’ Can no longer download games if using basic tracking protection (other games work fine). Why would anyone support a game maker that doesn’t support individual privacy protections? App developer has not corrected this issue.
Good concept. However the pricing for everything beyond the first 25 puzzles is a bit excessive, especially a hint.
Some puzzles are easier than others, but none are too easy. Nice job, developers!
Fun game
Fun and challenging for me
I love this game. It’s fun and challenging. I play it every morning, still in bed, before starting my day. Highly recommend!
Love, love, love this game! It makes me think, but gives me some help if I need it!
This is one of my all-time favorite games. It’s so simple but so challenging. it’s relaxing to play. I really like everything about it. There’s enough freebies to play a few minutes a day. When i strike it rich I’m buying all the packs!!
This game keeps me playing, learning facts and jogging my memory. Some hints are so obscure and some so close to being something else, but that’s the point. Keeps me thinking outside the box and learning at the same time. Great idea and brilliant name.
Usually, I learn something interesting.
This game keeps my mind alert.
This game keeps my brain functioning.
It’s a fun game but I can’t play it when traveling (I have to for work) because I’m on a VPN and it says the daily puzzles aren’t available. About to delete it after years of having it on my phone.
The difficulty of these words puzzles is inconsistent, and you have to be quite focused to see the relationships among the words, but you actually improve and are able to understand how the game works overtime.
One of the first things I do as soon as it’s a new day is play the daily red herring game. I love to be challenged!
Better challenge than Connect Words (with the 4 colors) because it has words not belonging to any category (Red Herrings!) to lead you astray- but also has levels within each puzzle so you can start hardest but keep trying if you are stumped.
Some days it’s frustrating but always stimulating. When stymied and taking a break and going back later or the next day, the dots get connected and I solve it. Thanks for the opportunity.
We like it!
I do this every morning
