Good so far!

I would like to see a feature next to the keyboard that allows me to move to the next letter without having to reach up into the puzzle to click it.

It's okay

It's decent. I suppose it's what you would expect from one of these games. I only had the chance to play the mini training round before I was compelled to write this review, so I don't have much more I can say. My 8-year-old daughter likes the one available music option.

Makes you think

Great thinking and problem solving puzzle. Definitely takes some time to figure out the puzzles, but the app is user friendly. I received a note as soon as I downloaded that it makes your phone run slower, hopefully they can fix that.

Good so far

The app is asking for a review pretty early on in exchange for a free pack of puzzles, which is kind of strange since the tutorial literally just finished... But, so far the game is good. If you love cryptograms, this looks to have a lot of puzzles in it and it's very easy to use.

Fun

Pretty good so far, though really wish they would provide the author as part of the cipher - kind of an essential part of cryptoquotes. Also, only works in landscape mode for some reason. Nice interface.

Fun

I love cryptograms!! This one is unique from others that I have played, and it is considerably more challenging as well, but it is still really enjoyable, and when I recognize what a phrase is, it gives a sense of success. One thing that could be done better is a way to get hints without having to buy them and/or beating a level.

Forced review too early

The tutorial was good. If anything, maybe too easy. However I haven't had a chance to play past the tutorial before the app is pushing me to review it. I will update my rating after actually having a chance to play it.

Very good

I play a lot of cryptogram games. This one is a little different in that you can only get hints for vowels. That makes it more challenging but also frustrating. I've only finished one category so far and none have stumped me even though I did have to leave a couple and go back later to finish. You have to buy each category separately. I would prefer buying several or all at once. Overall, a fun game

Fun & Addictive

Now I am annoyed. I took time to write a well thought out review only to find the nickname I'd chosen was already taken. So here's the deal; it is fun & addictive, but I don't like having to write a review to move to a second category, especially since I don't get to choose the category. An0yd!

Review for more games...

I am enjoying this cryptogram game and it's interface. It would be nice to have the option to turn on a wrong input indicator. Minus one star for having the review machine going in return for a free puzzle pack. But $0.99 adds up so I'll give my minute time for it.

Too soon to tell. But good

Just like others have mentioned, yeah, it's not the best review if you just started playing two minutes ago. However, so far, it seems pretty good. I only played the tutorial folder and it seems like a game with challenges that will come soon and has the possibility to become addicting and great. My issue - and consequently lack of star - results from the money. It's already difficult to find a worthwhile cryptogram game, now this one takes your money. It's not an arm and leg but the 99 cents add up.

Challenging but Fun!!

The tutorial is very basic yet informative. The game is easy to understand and is fun so far. My biggest complaint is that you must write a review to continue to the next level, and it seems other levels must be purchased. Not cool! The free levels are still worth it though! (:

Pretty good.

I like this game. Its pretty fun. I would have given it 5 stars, but it basically forces you to write a review. Also, even though it is fun, I've played more fun games in my life. Not that i don't like this, but, I've seen better

Not your usual Cryptogram game - FUN

Spywords is not your usual type of cryptogram game. Its unique design and set up makes it a bit more interesting and fun, with varying levels from easy-breezy to super challenging. The ability to earn hints as you solve each puzzle - the less hints you need or use, the more hints you earn for those really tough codes down the line. The In-App packages are 99-cents - totally affordable for those who become addicted - and give you more puzzles than anyone should be be spending time on 😀. Try the free version first to make sure you like it!

I didn't even get to play before review

Shoving a review down my throat before I did more than complete the ridiculously easy tutorial mode is a horrible idea. If it had waited until after the first folder, when it was actually time to unlock another, maybe you would get a better review.
But since you insist - based on my experience so far this game is too simple and obvious to be any fun if you actually have two neurons firing at the same time. 1/5 would not recommend.

Guess my title? Well, if you can, you will love this app! I enjoy decoding these enjoyable games! They are divided into categories And there are free hints included if you need them, and you earn more hints as you solve the puzzles! Enjoy!

So far so good

I am enjoying the game so far. It is challenging, but in a good way. I have only worked on one topic and am writing this review to unlock another topic. One topic isn't enough to decide whether to pay to unlock more, so I will see how the second topic is before I decide.

Seems good

Only played a few levels before it wanted a review which isn't a big deal. The interface is good but a bit precise on an iPhone 5C. I image it works a bit better with a bigger screen.

Worth getting

I enjoy this game quite a bit -- it is the best of the cryptogram apps I've found so far. One thing that irks me, though, is that the name of the person who said or wrote the quote is never given.

I love this!

So far, so good. The puzzles are increasing in difficulty and the interface is simple so I can focus on the puzzle and not trying to fettle answers down. Keep it up!
