Good graphics and play. Only issue I find is the difference between levels is a lot.

Too inconsistent with what words are allowed. Read their rules and they say no slang or foreign words yet they allow slang being used by their bots when you play them but when I tried to use some or even the same word later it’s rejected. Also you can’t go back and look at the game when it’s over and review the words. Some words that were used couldn’t even be found when googled. I’d like to know the name of the dictionary being used so I can get hold of a copy. I reckon none exists and the system is out to annoy you either made up words and irritating ads which appears after you play for a certain time. Seriously thinking of deleting game and looking for something more consistent with their rules and a better explanation as to what words can actually be used.

Hi Chunchi55, it sounds like you've encountered some real inconsistencies with the word allowances, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. The use of slang and foreign words can certainly be confusing, especially when it feels like there’s a double standard. Understanding the dictionary used and being able to review your gameplay is essential. Your feedback is invaluable! For a more thorough review of your concerns, please reach out to our Customer Support through the in-app support. We hope you find a solution that works for you!

How to ruin a good thing!

It is always sad to see how greed can make or break a good app. You guys have slowly been adding more and more ads such that now after every entry, another add pops in … the same ads over and over. Boring boring boring, Please guys, this is such a great game … you’ve done a good job … but you are now ruining it. I’m happy to see ads … I know you want to make a living … but be aware that overkill and greed can sometimes lead to the death of the game.

Thank you for sharing your perspective; it helps us understand our players better!

Impossible to enjoy due to never ending ads

Good game but the never ending ads after every couple of moves make it impossible to play. Especially when the ads are for apps I already have or have no interest in. Sometimes they go on for 2 minutes or more (or it seems like it). Very frustrating. Unfortunately it’s far too expensive to remove the ads as I only play occasionally so it’s getting deleted I’m afraid which is a shame.

Excellent game but intrusive ads

The game itself is excellent and I would recommend it wholeheartedly.
But the ads are becoming tiresome. Frequently, I’ve taken only one turn and an ad appears. I have shut down advertisements for King Richard and Temu numerous times due to having no interest in either, but they keep coming. I absolutely understand that ads are required in order to pay the bills but could they be less frequent and also non-repetitive?

Too many Ads

Game itself is good.
Started well, some ads as expected. Over a few days now interrupting every game multiple times with the same long ads (some last for 30 seconds). Lost the joy of the game so I have deleted the app.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope you might consider giving it another try in the future when things feel better balanced.

Too many ads

Every second or third turn up pops an ad . I appreciate you have to have ads as we’re playing for free but come on that is excessive. And they are the same ones all the time, ones that show you a different game than what you download , like the King Richard one where he’s trapped with a snake chasing him and we have to get rid of water or stones before the snake gets him. I downloaded that game and I’ve yet to see any of them. You should be reported for false advertising

Too many ads- ruins the game

When I first installed this game about 2 months ago I was happy to play and challenge myself. I haven’t played in a while for personal reasons taking priority and then went to play it now and there’s an ad after every turn. You’re lucky if you get 2 turns without one popping up. When I first had the game, the ads seemed to be after game not every turn. Unfortunately I’ll be deleting. The monthly subscription to remove ads is just another way to get more money out of you and I’m NOT subscribing.

Hi Saroc98, it sounds like the increase in ads has really impacted your enjoyment of the game, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Many players find that too many interruptions can take away from the fun, and it's understandable that this would lead to your decision to uninstall. Please reach out to our Customer Support team so they can review your feedback and take action. Your input is valuable, and we hope you might consider giving it another chance in the future!

Hit and Miss

As an absolute scrabble beginner the game has me hooked and am learning a lot and enjoying playing! However, who has come up with a subscription model of £2.99 a month for a casual game such as this? If there was an outright purchase option for under five pounds I’d buy it.

As it is with ads after every other turn I doubt I’ll have the patience and delete before the week is done.

Thank you for the education, but not going to be a keeper sorry.

Super

I love it! I can play with random people or my friends. And when they aren’t playing I can play a bot! Very entertaining.

Response from developer

Hey Jglak! It's wonderful to hear how much you're enjoying the game! The ability to play with both friends and others adds such a fun dynamic, and we’re glad you find it entertaining. Thank you for sharing your feedback! If you have any suggestions or ideas to make it even better, we’d love to hear them!

Nice game

Hate the ads

Adventure page (rn, level 32)

Practicing with AI in the adventure section. Surfer and Lifeguard are both, at times, tough, and, at times, easy. It’s part luck of the tiles and part careful choice.
Hoping to massage my grey matter, a little. And, eventually, find myself playing with other Scrabblers. Nice!

Response from developer

Hi Troncelliti! It's wonderful to hear how you're enjoying the adventure section! The blend of luck and strategy certainly makes for an engaging experience, and we truly appreciate your positive feedback. If you have any suggestions or further thoughts, we’d love to hear them! Best of luck as you work towards playing with other Scrabblers!

AD fatigue

My main concern is the amount of ads is exhausting . Talk about ad fatigue. Yes you can pay but even so players shouldn’t have to deal with repeated lengthy ads every time you play a word ! That’s nuts
Also the way the letters are dealt to you means inevitably you’ll lose at some point regardless of how good you are . When you start getting all the vowels repeatedly you’ll know 🙄

*you’ve replied stating the ads are becoming overwhelming for me
I would suggest by the reviews here they’re becoming overwhelming for everyone
You state I should contact the developers. What you’re actually saying is you don’t share feedback with them which makes any reviews pointless and futile .
You should share information
Dial Down the ads or lose players, it’s that simple

Hi Knickeratti, it sounds like you’re feeling overwhelmed by the frequency of ads, and we truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We recognize that excessive ads can impact the enjoyment of the game, and your feedback is important to us.

I encourage you to reach out to our Customer Support team so they can review your concerns and take action. Your voice matters, and we hope you continue to find moments of fun in the game despite these challenges.

Too many ads

Absolutely bombarded with ads that are deliberately hard to dismiss and go on forever. I don’t care how much you ram these ads down my throat I’m not downloading your stupid apps. And no I’m not paying for this app either. Let an old lady play a bit of scrabble in peace. I get you need to do some advertising but this is incessant, blatantly greedy and over the top. It won’t make me buy what you’re selling. It will make me stop using the app completely. Have some respect for your customers please.

Terrible

It tries to get you to install apps to scan your phone, probably spyware. Locks the game until you do. Avoid

A Glitch

Vatman, a valid word wasn’t allowed as it kept saying Vatmane isn’t allowed. There was no E in sight.

Fun but annoying

When you first start playing the rate of adverts is ok but after a while they come along after every turn! Also I’m suspicious whilst playing a bot that the letters are deliberately dealt so that the bot gets the higher scoring letters and therefore you have no chance of winning… if you are competitive you keep playing and so keep seeing the adverts… then after a while the letters seem to be more equally dealt! I know the Scrabble folk probably don’t get much choice about whose adverts they have to show but the various Kingdom games are really annoying, they leave me completely put off ever trying them!!!

Cheat

I’m a reasonably good scrabble player with a good mind and a good vocabulary against real people. I have played this version on many occasions just with an intermediate bot. but it is quite clear that the AI has been so programmed to provide the bot on at least 80% of the time with all the better tiles and the live player on about at least 70% of the time simply getting vowels. This is not fun. This is not a contest. this is a waste of time

Annoying adverts, paid version won’t work on mobile network overseas

I don’t want to pay for this as I don’t use it much but the app is designed so you cannot close adverts. This is apparently allowed by Apple. There is a way around this by using assistive touch which shuts any program you are using with a hovering button. If you pay for the app you won’t be able to use it on mobile networks overseas, only on WiFi.

Please reach out to our Customer Support team, and they will review your concerns and take action. We're committed to ensuring a positive experience, and we hope you continue to enjoy the game!

Ads too annoying

Good gameplay but the ads make this incredibly annoying. It wouldn’t be so bad if the same ad wasn’t repeated turn after turn, and there needs to be a quicker way to tap through one of no interest, it’s quicker to quit and restart the app. I won’t be bullied into buying a licence and it feels a bit like that.
