Please remove ads and fix the transitioning from one puzzle to the new one and it would be just perfect! I hope it is a easy fix Soon! But I love It! Thank you! ### 4/5 — Good game *2014-06-28, version 2.13* There are endless puzzles. Just wish they would update the word lists with more Christmas words and delete words that aren't so holiday-themed like corn dog. More x-mas words please! ### 4/5 — Christmas Word Search *2013-03-08, version 2.1* Haven't noticed any bugs so far. Good variety. Great distraction to pass the time waiting for an appointment. ### 4/5 — Oznsam *2012-12-08, version 2.0* Attractive main menu, fun Christmas music and extremely addictive games!

Fun & great music!! Thank u! ### 5/5 — Great time filler *2012-04-01, version 1.5* Love this game, play it all year round and the music gives you a festive feeling even in summertime. Best part is trying to get your name to the top of the leader board in each level of difficulty even if only for 10 minutes sometimes. ### 5/5 — Christmas word search *2012-03-02, version 1.5* Once along time ago I was top rating and I like this game ### 5/5 — Love this game!!! *2012-01-23, version 1.5* Very addictive!

Love this game!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Freezes every time *2021-09-14, version 2.16* Word searches are cute, but there’s an advert at the end of every game which causes the game to freeze, so I have to close it down and reopen it to play the next game. A lot of faff, which I frankly cannot be bothered with, so I’ve deleted it. ### 1/5 — Word search Christmas *2019-10-15, version 2.16* I quite enjoyed playing this game but since the recent iOS update it does not work. Can someone help? ### 1/5 — What the heck? *2016-10-20, version 2.13* I have downloaded and played this game every holiday for years, but I can't handle ads that actually close the app and open Safari without me clicking them, sometimes randomly in the middle of doing the puzzle. ### 2/5 — WordSearch *2019-10-11, version 2.16* I’ve always loved this app, but lately not functioning correctly, page of puzzle does not unfurl when transitioning from one puzzle to new one! Please fix! ### 2/5 — Love it …when it stays on *2013-10-31, version 2.1* Fun game but the app won't stay on. You just get it going and it shuts off. ### 2/5 — So...so...but ok *2012-11-26, version 2.0* After playing numerous games, words become repetitious. Game keeps crashing which gets frustrating! ### 2/5 — A little good *2011-02-21, version 1.3* It's a little good because chistmas Is over and it is easy even if you press hard don't waste your time playing this word search ### 3/5 — Problems after updates *2019-10-13, version 2.16* I too am having a problem with the page sticking instead of moving to the next puzzle. The other reviewer is right,it does not unfurl. This has happened since ios 13 update. This is usually a fun word search despite extremely intrusive ads. ### 3/5 — Fun but too easy *2011-12-15, version 1.5* ^ waaaay to easy. Still enjoyable tho ### 3/5 — Word search *2011-01-08, version 1.3* Good word search game for Christmas ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice word search for Christmas *2022-06-19, version 2.16* I’ve been playing this game and other games from AFKSoft for 15 years.
