User reviews

Are other reviews fake?

Idk how this game has a solid 5 star rating even if only a handful of people have rated it. It seemed like it’d be self-explanatory but I started a game and some words weren’t being counted. I then looked at the instructions and it didn’t say anything that would explain that.
On top of that, there is an add at the top left of the instructions page that prevents being able to read the top of the page.
It also forces your device into landscape mode, and those types of apps just aren’t accessible for me - but others might not mind it.
Overall, I’m unimpressed and uninstalling.
