Frustrating

Not like original Squaredle on android. Guessing in the dark having to go to different page to see words already guessed. Loads of “bonus” words, but no hint as to what they’re actually looking for.

Thanks for being straight with us, honestly we'd rather hear this than not. You've given us a few things to chew on here, especially around seeing your words without having to leave the board. We've written it all down and we're going to sit with it for a while and see what we can do. Appreciate you playing.

Update, Fine app

Rate it 5/5 after creator explanation. Very good game.Still fine but will not accept some words; example: "WILL"

Please be informed that iOS apps do not have the system permissions to trigger virus alerts, nor does iOS support this type of malware behavior. This warning was likely a web-based phishing popup from an external source. Our application remains completely secure and fully compliant with Apple's strict safety standards.

Unnecessary change of format

Was perfectly fine and easy to play before but I’ve just gone to play today’s match but the update was unnecessary. When looking at found words the letters it showed was helpful but now it’s been removed, replaced with how long words are which we already had so what is the point? Not helpful

Thank you so much for playing and for taking the time to share your feedback! We really appreciate it. We hear you — the letter display on found words was a feature many players found helpful, and we understand the frustration with the change. Your feedback is exactly the kind of input that helps us make the game better. We're actively looking into how we can improve this, and we'll definitely take your suggestion into consideration as we work on future updates. Stay tuned! Thanks again for being a loyal player 🙏

Not fun

I was not enamored with the fact that I can’t see the progression of the letters as I am swiping them, among other things, but when I had 30 words left and felt as I had exhausted all possibilities, but then started finding these ridiculous words that most people have never heard of, I said, done and deleted the app.

Thanks for playing, and for being so candid! First off, kudos to you for getting down to the last 30 words—that’s no small feat. I really appreciate the feedback about the swipe progression. It’s something we’re looking to fix to make the gameplay feel smoother. Also, I hear you on those 'ridiculous' words! It’s a tough balancing act, and we’re working on refining our word list to keep the game challenging without feeling unfair. We’re constantly polishing the app, and your input helps us head in the right direction. Even though you’ve deleted the app for now, we’d love to welcome you back once we’ve made things a bit more intuitive. Cheers!

So pitiful

Not nearly as playable as the online game. The rules are incorrect within the game. Seriously, “will” is not a word but “walla” is?

Thank you for your honest feedback. You’ve touched on the biggest challenge we’re currently facing: balancing the wordlist for everyone. 🧩 We’ve received mixed feedback—some feel certain words are too simple, while others question why plurals are included. Our goal is simple: we want to create a game that we ourselves love to play. However, we clearly have a lot of work to do. We are exploring the idea of different modes to satisfy different player needs in the future. We’re truly trying our best to find that "sweet spot," and we hope you’ll stick with us as we keep improving. It means a lot to have players who care enough to point these things out.

Nice concept but needs a couple of refinements

A celebration when you meet your goal would be good, it’s a non-event. The last few guesses can feel like frustrated guessing rather than solving challenge. Also strange exclusion of some words eg ‘that’ and ‘more’ in some puzzles.

Hi ShortcakieM, thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback! I totally hear you on the "non-event" feeling. You're right—reaching the goal should feel like a win! I’ll definitely look into adding some visual celebrations or better feedback for that milestone. Regarding the "frustrated guessing" at the end, that's a great point about game balance. I'm also constantly refining the word list; it's a bit of a puzzle itself to balance difficulty and common words. I'll check why 'that' and 'more' were missing—they definitely should be there! Thanks for helping me make Squaredle better. Happy solving!

Too many crashes

Has promise, but frequently freezes and has to be shut down and reopened. Got stuck in an ad more than once. Game play is fun and clue system is good but it doesn’t allow plurals and some words are extremely obscure.

Thank you so much for playing Squaredle and for the honest review! I’m really glad you enjoy the gameplay, but I’m sincerely sorry about the freezing and ad issues—I’m working hard to fix these bugs to give you a smoother experience. Regarding plurals: we’ve heard this from many players! It’s a tricky balance—some love the challenge without them, while others find it frustrating. We’re actually researching a "Plural Toggle" so you can choose the style you prefer. We're also refining our word list to keep it fun, not just obscure. Thanks for helping me make the game better. Your patience means the world!

What dictionary are you using

This is a fun game but I have no idea why words aren’t counted. Plural words with s? No. Unpin? No use the same dictionary as nyt wordle please. Huge problem.

Hi there, thank you for your honest feedback and for finding the game fun! We hear your frustration regarding the word selection, especially with plurals and common words like "unpin." Managing a dictionary for a grid-based game like Squaredle is a delicate balancing act. Unlike Wordle, which uses a fixed list of 5-letter words, our puzzles can generate hundreds of possibilities. If we included every possible word from a standard dictionary, the game could become overwhelming or include obscure terms that ruin the fun. Conversely, being too restrictive makes the game feel inconsistent. We are currently actively researching and refining our dictionary to find that "sweet spot" of difficulty—one that feels fair, rewarding, and consistent. Your feedback helps us prioritize which word categories to review next. Please stay tuned for future updates as we continue to improve the experience!

Thank you so much for your honest feedback and for playing Squaredle! That ‘addictive yet frustrating’ feeling is part of the magic of word puzzles, but we want to ensure it stays a rewarding challenge. Please know that we are constantly reviewing and balancing our word bank to find that ‘Goldilocks’ zone of difficulty that satisfies everyone. We truly value your input as it helps us refine the experience. Thank you for being part of our journey as we work to make Squaredle even better!

Enjoyable game

I’m really enjoying this game, especially as they’ve sorted out the problem with disallowing many words. Plurals are often not recognised but, hey. I’m still battling to find more than half the words available but I look forward to attempting it every day.

We’ve identified a system bug that caused some valid words not to be recognized, and we understand how frustrating that can be—especially when you’re excited to find them. We’ve already fixed this issue and submitted an updated version to Apple. It is currently under review, and we hope the improvement will be available to you very soon. We truly appreciate your support and your patience. Feedback like yours helps us make the game better, and we’re committed to continuing to improve the experience. Wishing you a happy New Year, and thank you again for playing!

I enjoy word finder games but this one won’t recognise so many decent words! Why? I’m chuffed to find them, and then they are disallowed.

Frustratingly bad

Littered with inaccuracies! A huge amount of words that are invalid but are words! Awful poor attempt at one of these puzzle games. Wouldn’t recommend.

Hi CardBuff4458, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we understand how frustrating it can feel when legitimate words aren’t accepted.

We’re currently working on better ways to expand and fine-tune our explanations and word lists while keeping the challenge fair and enjoyable. We really appreciate you calling this out, and your feedback helps guide how Squaredle continues to improve. Thank you for playing, and we’ll keep working to make the experience better.

Not great

I downloaded this because I really love the online version but want to play more often. Unfortunately, it’s too frustrating to play. First the words are super obscure. I would say out of 95 words in a puzzle, 40 of them are words that most people have never heard of. The super obscure words should be the bonuses and not standard words needed to complete the puzzle. Additionally, when a hint is given, it should not be for the bonus words, but instead for the words that count towards completing the puzzle. Maybe it’s possible that the bonus words are included in that 95 count but I don’t believe so. In general, I’ll probably just play this when I have nothing else to do, but it won’t be my go to game. And I won’t be paying for the upgraded version because it’s just not enough fun to do that. I like a game to be challenging, but if it’s so challenging that you can never win without using all of your hints and even then probably can’t win. It’s just not fun. The online version is challenging, and sometimes I have to use hints, but more often than not. I finish the puzzle. With this version, I don’t see me ever being able to finish a puzzle because these words are just ridiculous.
