### 3/5 — Good game but…

*2026-02-27*

Not all off these puzzles are being read by humans. The word “awa” is used in one of the beginners puzzles. This isn’t a word. If I don’t see more these I’ll change to a four star.

### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging

*2026-01-30*

Fun game idea. Keeps your brain going. I like that you can change theme settings so you can look at a different screen once in a while. The dark screens are good for playing at night. I also like that you can opt out of ads. After some time they gave a discount on that but I’m not sure how often that happens. It starts out easy but can get challenging. A fun game for word people!

### 4/5 — Fun game!

*2026-01-09, version 2.1.5*

Just what it says it is.  Brain challenge!

### 2/5 — Pornographic ads

*2026-01-04, version 2.1.5*

Please remove the pornographic ads from “Botify AI” or I will need to delete the app.  Children play this game…..shame.

### 5/5 — Horrible ads

*2025-12-18, version 2.1.5*

The ads for chat bots are horrible. Border on porn

### 5/5 — Word Box

*2025-12-15*

Word Box is a fun thinking game that challenges players because there are so many different ways to clear each puzzle. You will never be bored!

### 5/5 — Entertaining

*2025-11-24, version 2.1.5*

Fresh

### 5/5 — Clever

*2025-05-14, version 2.1.5*

And fun

### 5/5 — More puzzles please!

*2025-04-16, version 2.1.5*

Please add more free play puzzles! I’m finished with all of them.

### 4/5 — Pretty neat

*2025-04-12, version 2.1.5*

Really enjoy the daily puzzle. I love that there is a theme I wish it told us the theme and intended words once the puzzle was solved.
