The “7 Words” part of the app still, after numerous requests to the developer to address the issue, does not work on iOS (not on iPad or iPhone). Having paid for the app, I find it very disappointing that little is being done in the way of maintenance and improvements. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your detailed feedback. It's great. We're trying to improve our word database, especially in the Pangram game mode. Our database has more than 100k words and as you said, some of them are wrong and same problem in connection words. It's easier than Pangram :) We're struggling a bit in that area. We will improve it. The second one is the easiest because we knew it and fixed it. Our next release will be out in a week. The third one is a good point. We'll work on it and try to include it in the next release. Thanks again and have a nice day. Edit: Thank you for updating the title. We recently released a new version and addressed the second (some of old puzzles will fix) and third issues. We're currently working on some new features, and after that, we'll focus on improving the first one. Thanks again! :) Edit 2: I'm so sorry for that. I agree with you about the connections groups. I've made an update for daily connections and I'm working on local games. I'll release as soon as possible. I couldn't understand your issue about 7Words. Could you please share more details? Thank you so much for your detailed review and have a great day! ### 2/5 — Good - when it works *2025-09-28* Incredibly unstable interface **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review and feedback. I made a mistake when generating the daily levels for September 28 and 29, so they didn't work on that days. I've fixed the issue and set up an alarm system. I'll get an email if this issue occours again. I'm so sorry about that. Thank you so much again. Have a great day! ### 3/5 — Enjoyable but buggy. *2025-09-08* Mostly really enjoy this but it has issues. Example today, in the Panagram section, this had already been completed with words from a previous puzzle that bore no relation to the letters on offer. No ability to reset it and it thought I’d completed it. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review and feedback. I noticed and fixed this issue, but as you said some users couldn't play again. That's a great point about adding a reset feature. I've added to my roadmap and I'll develop as soon as possible. I'm so sorry. Thanks again, have a great day. ### 2/5 — I bought-in, the app still needs lots of work but it does look like they’re taking corrective action *2024-12-03, version 4.12.0* It needs a lot of fundamental corrective action. I’d like to see- 1. Fix the data bases, here are far too many garbage words (as in nonwords) that show up to often in all puzzles. In connections, some of the groupings are completely wrong. 2. Fix the bug in Connections where duplicates both disappear when one is correctly selected resulting in there only being three choices for final quartet. 3. For subscribers - in Connections, when used all four guesses offer a hint option or and option to auto solve. ### 4/5 — Loving it *2024-10-22* I enjoy its logic, worldliness and variability. Igor **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review. I’m so happy to hear that. Have fun, have a great day! :) ### 4/5 — Keeping the mind active *2024-09-13* I do this every day and try to get to genius, just a bit frustrating when you know you’ve typed in a word that isn’t found only to be revealed on the list the next day. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review. We're happy to hear that. We know this app is a bit challenging, especially the 7 Letters game mode :) If we need to give advice, when you are feeling too frustrated you can play Pangram or Connection game mode. These are more relaxed game modes. Thank you so much again, have a great day. ### 3/5 — Q *2024-08-02* There is Always a q but Never a u **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review. 7 Letters are generated randomly via our algorithms. Sometimes, some of the letters can be high frequency. For example, there will be both a and u letter in the next 3 days. We don't protect any letter :) Thank you so much again, have a great day. ### 3/5 — Interesting game *2024-06-16* Pretty challenging game. I just wish there was a way to forfeit the game and see all the answers. It feels very incomplete without that option. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review. We know that the game is a bit challenging but it's funny :) It's a great idea. We added to the roadmap. We'll add to the flow as soon as possible. Thanks again, have a great day. ### 1/5 — Horrendous *2024-04-15* Whoever made this game is apparently incapable of writing a single grammatical sentence in English. The instructions are barely understandable. But the main problem is that many common words are no in their word list, which makes it very frustrating. Deleted after a few minutes. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review. We're sadly for hear that. As you know, you can create lots of different words in given 7 letters. Our algorithm is selecting 20 words and this words are not ordered by prevalence. We was working to new hint algorithms and today we published. Now, words has more stable and meaningful hints also also all of hints are free to access. We believe that this version is more powerful. Could you give a second chance for us? :) Thanks again, have a great day! ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2024-04-13* Common words are “not in word list”. I deleted app within a few minutes. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review. We're sadly for hear that. As you know, you can create lots of different words in given 7 letters. Our algorithm is selecting 20 words and this words are not ordered by prevalence. We're working to develop and made improvement in words and hints. Also, we're working on add new game mode that you can enter each word are created from given 7 letters. Can you give a second chance according to this informations :) Thanks again, have a great day! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The height of idiocy *2025-01-07* What exactly is the aim of the game: guess what the creators had in mind? Call it the mind reading game then! The aim should be to create as many words possble from seven letters, not guess the right words. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that. As you have noticed, our game has 4 mini-games. It seems you’re playing the first one, 7Letters. In this mode, your goal is to find 20 selected words, similar to a crossword puzzle. You can use hints to assist you. While it may feel like a guessing game at times, the hints are there to guide you. Another mode is Pangram and works differently. Here, you can form as many words as possible using the 7 letters provided. Occasionally, some valid words might not appear in our database, but they’ll be added to the extra word list if they’re meaningful. We’d love to hear more about your experience how do you think we can improve the game? Also, which game mode are you playing? We recommend trying 7Words and Connection for a different challenge! Thank you again for your valuable feedback. Have a great day. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2024-12-08* Game doesn’t accept very many words. Very limited. Not fun. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you so much for your review. The game has 2 different game modes. One of these is 7Letters that we’ve predefined 20 specific words and then you should find that with hints or guess from English words. You're correct, you can write lots of words but you should find only 20 words of them. Sometimes these words can be tricky and obscure. Second game of this is Pangram. You can write whenever you want in English words and the game will match in words that are more than 150,000 words. In this game mode, if a word is not available in our list, you can send us via the feedback screen below settings. Also, we are increasing our game hub. We added 2 more games. One of them is Connection in which you are given 16 words and need to create 4 groups of 4 words each. Last one and new one is 7Words that you find hidden words related to a given subject. We believe you’ll enjoy at least one of them. Could you give us a second chance? :) Thanks again, have a great day! ### 1/5 — Only certain words count?!? *2024-11-30* Only the words in the list count. I found so many words “not in the list.” No fun. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you so much for your review. The game has 2 different game modes. One of these is 7Letter that we defined 20 different word and then you should find that with hints or guess from English words. You're correct, you can write lots of words but you should find only 20 words of them. Sometimes these words can be tricky and obscure. Second game of this is Pangram. You can write whenever you want in English words and the game will match in words that are more than 150,000 words. In this game mode, if a word is not available in our list, you can send us via the feedback screen below settings. Could you give us a second chance? :) Thanks again, have a great day! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-09-27* The words are often nonsense do not play this game **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback. You're right, some words can be challenging and that may rarely be in your social life. We think that you played 7Letters game mode. Also, we offer another game. This is a Pangram that you can write whenever you want in English words and the game will match in words that are more than 150,000 words. Also, we recently added our most popular game, a new game called Connection. You will see 16 words and you should group 4 by 4. We're developing new game modes. In summary, could you give us a second chance? :) Thanks again, have a great day! ### 1/5 — It stinks *2024-09-09* There is so much wrong with this game that it’s not funny! Maybe look at the NYT Spelling Bee if you want to develop a game worth its money **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review. Could you please give more information about your thoughts on wrong things? Which game mode did you play? Is it a wrong hint or a missing word? We believe that we can improve all things. We're so sorry for your poor experience. Have a nice day. ### 1/5 — Absolutely dreadful *2024-09-03, version 4.1.0* It seems that every other word I entered, even really basic everyday words, is rejected. I only played for about ten minutes but that was more than enough time to realise the game is utterly pointless. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to spend money on it. ### 1/5 — Strange Expectations *2024-08-04* Thought this would work more like NYT Spelling Bee and other games of this type. Did not expect it to reject dozens of valid words and expect capitalized names. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review. The game has 2 different game modes. One of these is 7Letter that we defined 20 different word and then you should find that with hints or guess from English words. You're correct, you can write lots of words but you should find only defined 20 word of them. Hint and Gold Letter will help you. Second game of this is Pangram that you can write whenever you want in English words and the game will match in words that are more than 150,000 words. In this game mode, if a word is not available in our list, you can send us via the feedback screen below settings. Could you give us a second chance? :) Thanks again, have a great day! ### 1/5 — Not Good *2024-05-29* You can’t shuffle the letters and the words are too obscure. No where close to NYT Spelling Bee. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review. Shuffling the letters is great idea. We will add this feature as soon as possible. We're trying to improve our word and question databases. If you want to tell to us which word are too obscure, you can send from feedback screens in our application below settings. Thanks again, have a great day! ### 1/5 — Confusing *2024-05-19* Sadly, the foreigners who developed this game do not have command of the English language. The instructions are written in broken English and the game itself is very primitive, to the point of being a chore to play instead of a joy. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review. We're working to improved our instruction process. We'll release as soon as possible. Thus, we believe that it will be more clear and understandable. So, the game will be more funny :) Have a great day. ### 1/5 — Too many easy English words missing *2024-05-10* There are way too many easy English words that fit the puzzle that are not included in the apps Word List. Very frustrating so I deleted the app. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you so much for your review. The game has 2 different game mode. One of this is 7Letter that we defined 20 different word and then you should find that with hints or guess from English words. You're correct, you can write lots of words but you should find only defined 20 word of them. Second game of this is Pangram that you can write whenever you want in English words and game will match in words that more than 150,000 words. In this game mode, if a word is not available in our list, you can send us via feedback screen below settings. Could you second chance to us? :) Thanks again, have a great day! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging *2026-06-12* There are 4 different games included and all are fun word games. Some are more challenging than I had expected and are a great brain workout. I hope the developer will continue to make more of these! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind and supportive review. I'm so happy to hear that. I'll continue to add daily levels and new features :) Thanks again, have fun and have a great day! ### 5/5 — Good *2025-11-15* So far it’s a good game makes u think **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review.

I’m so happy to hear that. Have fun, have a great day! :) ### 5/5 — Alert. *2024-06-16* I love these word games this one the most. I do it every day in the morning it keeps my mind alert and sharp, not only that, I now have family members doing it and we keep a record of who won this week from Sunday 2 Sunday LoL i lost this week my son beat us all. I don’t mind that hes’s got an I Q of 160 and he’s a Property Developer with his own company, but I’ve beaten him a few times. I even have my grandchildren doing it, they learn many different and rare words. At first they weren’t really bothered about it but now they like it. Not always but more n more often they play with me and we can do it in the same place or a different country, we have. Try it , it’s addictive. Love to all stay safe and well out there. Patricia Welsh. X **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review. Wow, our best review yet. We're so happy to hear that. Best regards to the whole family. Thanks and have a great days. ### 5/5 — Good spelling game *2024-05-31* AMAZING ### 4/5 — So fun but… *2026-07-03* It’s hard but also really fun also you can learn so many new things **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I'm really happy to hear that you learned something new while playing the game. I always try to keep the difficulty when creating daily levels, but I'll try to more balanced. Thanks again. Have fun :) ### 4/5 — Bug *2026-01-08* “Line” icon on Panagram is supposed to show word info- instead just takes you to the same tutorial the question mark does **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review and pointing that out. I really appreciate it. In fact, the text contained in the model is correct, but the title and icon should be different and the button won't be there. I'll fix it immediately. Thanks again. Have a great day. ### 4/5 — Love these challenges *2024-11-29* Love the challenges of these puzzles but can you PLEASE make the delete button so that we can hold it down instead of tap, tap, tapping to delete? Thank you. 🤞🤞 **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your feedback. You're right. We will develop as soon as possible and include it in the next release. Thanks again, have fun and a great day. ### 4/5 — Fun, quick, lots of choices *2024-11-19* The Daily and Connections games are fun and quick, but you could play all day on the unlimited games. Solving the Pangram is something altogether different. Where do they find these obscure words? **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your review. We're thrilled you’re enjoying the daily games. You're right. Solving the Pangram and 7Letters does bring a challenge, and English has lots of tricky, obscure words. You can choose any game related to your daily mood :) Thanks again, keep having fun, have a great day! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
