However, anytime I accept a challenge match. I write words that will not be accepted.which doesn’t make any sense. Just now I played a match with an opponent and I had 40 words because I counted how many I had. It only accepted 12 words and the opponent won with 52. Now that isn’t fair considering I had 40 words but only 12 of them were accepted. I don’t know if this is a glitch. Or if other people have had this problem. I have uninstalled the app and redownloaded it and did a hard reset, updated the app, and still have this problem. PLEASE FIX THIS. ### 2/5 — Was a good app.... *2026-08-08, version 4.1.3* Have enjoyed ruzzle for years. The tournament play is good, but the app is getting stingy. Challenging other players is all that's left. Diluting winning payouts. Once paid for ad-free, is no longer recognized. Sad. Greed. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-30, version 4.1.3* Good word game but too many ads. There is an ad after every game ### 4/5 — Nostalgic *2026-07-07, version 4.1.3* Great game ### 2/5 — Was a good app.... *2026-07-06, version 4.1.3* Have enjoyed ruzzle for years. The tournament play is good, but the app is getting stingy. Challenging other players is all that's left. Diluting winning payouts. Once paid for ad-free, is no longer recognized. Sad. Greed. ### 2/5 — Hopefully the glitches were fixed… *2026-06-26, version 4.1.3* Played this game since I was 17. . . I’m 31 now… I deleted it due to the glitches (which most recent ratings have also left reviews about). Supposedly the Ruzzle Dev team has fixed them, I’m going to redownload and give it a shot. I hope to change my rating to 5 stars, but if it’s still trash I’m not going higher than a 2. ### 5/5 — Ruzzle *2026-06-26, version 4.1.3* Great game okay it daily! Wouldn’t miss it!! ### 3/5 — Out of control pop-ups!!!! *2026-06-23, version 4.1.3* I love this game and I’ve been playing over 10 years. I’ve paid for this game and i am SICK OF THE POP UPS!!!! I’m not buying coins or anything else!!! This is ridiculous!!!! Lowering my ranking to 3 stars. ### 3/5 — Game freezing *2026-06-23, version 4.1.3* I have had issues for the last month with the game freezing while playing. I have been a Ruzzle fan for years now and I’ll be happy when this issue is resolved! ### 5/5 — Glitches Fixed! *2026-06-23, version 4.1.3* Just wanted to thank the dev team for fixing the glitches that started after the latest IOS update. I’ve been playing Ruzzle daily since 2012 and it’s the game that challenges my brain while keeping me engaged and sharp for nearly 15 years. It was soooo hard & frustrating these last few weeks, when I’d insist on playing even though my whole phone froze during play. Thanks to your recent update, I’m back to playing with the joy and relaxation I’ve always enjoyed with Ruzzle. I continue to recommend Ruzzle to anyone who asks what my favorite word game is! ### 5/5 — Very addicting *2026-06-21, version 4.1.3* Even playing for years! Love this game ### 4/5 — Fix the glitches please :( *2026-06-21, version 4.1.3* Ruzzle has been my favorite mobile game for years. I started playing when I was 13 years old, and now I'm 26. Out of all the games I've downloaded and deleted over the years, this is one of the very few that has stayed on my phone. The game is fun, brain-stimulating, and surprisingly challenging, especially when you enter tournaments and compete against strong players. It keeps your mind active, improves your vocabulary, and never really gets old. Whether I have a few minutes to spare or want to sit down and seriously compete, Ruzzle is always my go-to game. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because of the constant freezing and glitches. Sometimes the tiles start shaking uncontrollably across the board. I can still swipe and create words, but I can't clearly see what I'm spelling. The only way I know if a word was accepted is by listening for the approval sound. It's incredibly frustrating, especially when I'm having a great round and pushing 1,800+ points. I've had to force-close and restart the app more times than I can count because of this issue. I genuinely love this game and have been loyal to it for over a decade. I just wish the developers would address these performance issues so the gameplay experience can match how great the game itself ### 4/5 — Glitches *2026-06-19, version 4.1.3* Ever since the update, Ruzzle has been getting stuck and causing my phone to get stuck. I’m not able to turn my phone off for about 2 minutes. Other than that I enjoy playing this game. ### 2/5 — Freezing *2026-06-18, version 4.1.3* I like the app but it freezes in the middle of games and I have to force close it and restart the whole game. It’s continuous and annoying. Also there’s too many ads. ### 3/5 — Too buggy *2026-06-16, version 4.1.2* I love this game and I’ve been playing it for well over 10 years, but if I wasn’t so entrenched as a player, I would not stick with it right now. It’s nearly impossible to complete rounds without the game glitching and freezing up. I really hope they can get it back on track. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frozen in ads *2026-08-09, version 4.1.3* I’ve played for years but the ad glitches are getting out of control. I keep getting frozen in an ad and can only get out by turning my phone off. It’s been about 15 x today!😠 ### 1/5 — Glitch *2026-08-02, version 4.1.3* Just opened app and screen is completely glitching never seen this happen before. ### 1/5 — Subscription to Remove Ads *2026-07-31, version 4.1.3* The latest gimmick in taking people’s money - charge for a monthly subscription to remove ads!?! My life is being bled dry by subscription! Play ‘Word Seek’ instead. Can remove ads for a one time fee of 2 bucks. ### 1/5 — Fix it. *2026-06-18, version 4.1.3* Games keeps freezing. My app is up to date. I have iOS. I went through your unhelpful help site. Pls fix. ### 1/5 — Please fix this game! *2026-06-18, version 4.1.3* It’s my favorite game (5 stars ) when it works. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-06-13, version 4.1.2* I love this game when it works. Lately it cannot be played at all. Please fix it. Does anyone read these reviews? ### 1/5 — Constant freezing/crashing *2026-06-13, version 4.1.2* For a couple weeks now the app will freeze/crashes mid game ### 1/5 — Since last update freezes *2026-06-12, version 4.1.2* Since last update game constantly freezes. I loved this game ### 1/5 — Game Freezes *2026-06-10, version 4.1.2* Been doing this for a few days. This appears to be the only way to report it. Will update the rating once fixed. ### 1/5 — App started glitching *2026-06-09, version 4.1.2* I love this game and played without issue for years. Recently the app has started glitching mid game, where the screen starts flashing and I can’t push any buttons. I am forced to exit the entire app and start a new game with my opponent. I looked and there is no way to report this issue. Otherwise I would’ve never left this negative review. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LouLeila2 *2026-08-04, version 4.1.3* I’ve been playing for years and love this game. I dislike the new changes. I like to use my rewards as I want. Changing 10 to 100 is not fooling anyone. The main strategical point was using and gaining rewards. Now it’s too easy and boring. Go back to the way it was. Make your changes somewhere else in the game please. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-03, version 4.1.3* This has always been my go to game. When you find the perfect recipe you don’t have to keep tweaking it to be better. Anyhow, love the game ### 5/5 — Ruzzle *2026-07-25, version 4.1.3* This is the best game I ever played this is why I give it five stars I play this game 24/7😀 ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-07-22, version 4.1.3* My friend and i have been playing it 7-8 years. She lives in Oklahoma and i live in Florida. It our way of staying in touch. We play every night. ### 5/5 — can you fix this bug *2026-07-16, version 4.1.3* still the best word game around! please note however: randomly-after a game round has completed-any further play abruptly stops with the screen flickering incessantly, with the only way to stop it is to shut the game down & re-open it. after reading reviews indicating this same bug affecting others’ game play & asking devs to apply a fix, it is seemingly yet to be addressed. is there a specific reason for that? maybe one of your more recent updates had an unexpected effect that caused it, but can the devs please re-address this bug & update the platform? thanks! ### 5/5 — Too many add *2026-06-29, version 4.1.3* Love the game but the ad’d are excessive and makes me leave the game sooner because the ads take you out the zone and it comes after single round ### 5/5 — App is not showing up in notifications on iPhone 17 pro max *2026-06-29, version 4.1.3* Use to get notifications on the game when it was your turn all of sudden they stop coming so I re installed and now ruzzle doesn’t show in the notifications setting on iPhone where u control notifications , did u remove this from the app ?? ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2026-06-27, version 4.1.3* I play this game at least twice a day in order to keep my brain active and sharp. I have some long term Ruzzle buddies that I play. It's a fun game. Try it! ### 5/5 — Ruzzle fun *2026-06-27, version 4.1.3* A great fun and addictive game. You wont be sorry getting this game. ### 5/5 — Desire to return *2026-06-26, version 4.1.3* I loved the game but had to leave because it hacked. I had reached the highest level, lost 6,000 points. I will try again because it is fun and challenging. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
