Keep your brain young
I enjoy playing this game multiple times daily. I am 81 and I think it helps to keep my mind alert and focused.
Colors
The hints are one yellowish tone and hard to read
Hints change explained?
Developer - I’m a longtime user of this game but you’re losing us with the hints change. PLEASE at least add back the rolling prompt of “a 6 letter word starting with XX..”. You can keep all the other hint changes if easier but we need word length back. Or even an option to toggle to the old hint view if that isn’t possible. Lastly, can you change the sort of the word list back to vertical?

Upgrade not good
Don't care for the change. Doesn't work well on iPad
Great game
Love this word game even though a lot of the words are nonsensical to me.
Not living new format
I used to really enjoy these word puzzles but really dislike the new format. Need to take a look at others out there.
A couple of things
I don’t like when the word box shrinks when you leave the game, and I don’t like the yellow coloring on the suggested beginning letters. They are very difficult to see.
What happened
I have thoroughly enjoyed this app. Unfortunately, recent color change on hints makes this impossible for me to read.
So so
It is annoying that you ask for a review so frequently
Great word game
I've tried a few of these type of word puzzles and this is probably my favourite. I really like the ability to add more words to the dictionary. Just one thing that doesn't seem to work quite right is that short games are very often a lot more than just 25 words. Still a pleasure to complete but can take a lot longer.

Get a better list.
I love doing this, but I get very frustrated that I cannot use so many legitimate words. You need to get AI to make a better list. Or use the Anagram Solver app. Saffron is a word! So is retool. So many many others that I can’t remember but are not recognized as words.
The hint
The yellow writing is very small and not seen
Can you make it all black and bigger
Can you make it all black and bigger
Have been playing for years
I love playing Spell Queen, but I don’t like the new UI with the yellow and grey/white hints. It’s too hard to read.
Can't see the hints very well
Love this app! My only issue is that the hints are very hard to see.
Good until recently
The game plays well, lets you recommend words that it does not yet include, and you can choose long or short games. All good until someone in some cubicle redesigned the clues and length of words remaining page. Even that is okay, except for the teeny tiny font chosen and someone designing it in orange font on yellow background. Then folks at sone meeting all gave it the go ahead as though they had never heard of eyeballs much less vision, as though they had no good sense or had not themselves even looked at it.

Love
Fun game
My mom loves this game
Berry fun
Update Stinks
Agreed with others - the newest update makes playing SO much less enjoyable. Not sure why a basically completely new interface was necessary… plus I have seem to run out of new words. Sad.
Fun game, frustrating dictionary
I enjoy the game itself and would probably give the actual gameplay/functionality a 4/5. However, the internal dictionary is frustrating. I understand that it’s curated and avoids archaic or uncommon words, but the logic feels inconsistent. There are times when real words I know, and have checked, are rejected, yet other words I’ve never heard of are accepted after I’ve just mashed letters out of frustration.
For me, the game works well as a puzzle, but the dictionary holds it back. I’d give the gameplay a 4/5, but the dictionary a 2/5. Overall, I’m still using it because it’s fun enough and, honestly, because I’m too lazy to find another one, but its eccentric word list can be very annoying.

BEST WORD GAME EVER. Update: You guys changed it :(
Update: I'm so disappointed to see that the terrible update wasn't reverted. Like in my original review, I said DON'T fix what ISN'T BROKEN!
It's confusing and unnecessarily complicated to read the new hints, and I don't recall the word bank alternating between columns. I thought it used to be read vertically? Not ideal to have your eyes rapidly flickering side to side when quickly scanning the list. Inefficient.
This sucks. I miss when devs listened to players. I haven't played in months.

I rarely download new apps because of how visually cluttered they are with pop ups, bright colors, boosts, power-ups, overstimulating ads, etc. The attention grabbing is exhausting, and I wind up going on social media in my downtime instead of opening any games.
I LOVE Spelling Queen because it isn't a violation to your senses. There aren't a million different options to choose from, no vibrant/energetic colors, there's not even a "home" screen—you're just right into the game. It's simple, straightforward, and that's exactly how I like it.
The CO-OP doesn't work very well, but me and my partner play by screensharing on Facetime and letting each other control the screen. We're long distance, and play together almost every night before bed, so this game holds a special little place in our relationship. 🩷
For future game updates: please devs, don't fix anything that isn't broken! You have an amazing game here, I hope y'all can make any additions as nonintrusive as possible. And respect for offering a one-time purchase to go ad-free instead of a subscription, you guys rock for that. Thank you!! 🥰
