### 3/5 — Langue française

*2024-03-06*

Bonjour, a quand une version entièrement en français, pour que nos enfants puissent y jouer. Cordialement

### 4/5 — Add A Daily Battle

*2020-12-15, version 1.9*

Love this game so far!  I haven’t figured out how to log back into Game Center so I can contribute to the clan.  If there was a daily battle, I would definitely log in more often.

### 4/5 — Pretty rad!

*2018-08-13, version 1.5*

Fun game to prove to myself I do not have as big of a vocabulary as I thought.

### 3/5 — Love the game but...

*2018-08-08, version 1.5*

I love this game. It has kept me I keep occupied for about 3 weeks. However, I beat the game and there are not enough levels keep me interested. Maybe consider extending the game and adding new or levels of prestige to keep those who have beat the game interested; there are  definitely going to be a lot of those people

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-07-09, version 1.5*

Fun word game that has a lot of strategy as levels advance

### 5/5 — Good game but needs some tweaks...

*2018-06-07, version 1.5*

I thnk that u should be able to see what ur clan members are saying by scrolling down. Also i think u should make the levels a little bit easyer, but justa tiny bit so i can beat the mountains. But all in all its a really good game.

### 3/5 — Fantastic Time Vampire

*2018-05-25, version 1.5*

Love the game, hate the no-ending. Played through 9 times, collected all the “Prestige” and defeated the Hybrid for the 9th time, only to get returned to the beginning. No closure. Nothing. Left me a little bitter towards the whole game. A sequel would be nice, maybe with a story mode.

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2018-03-02, version 1.5*

I just wish I wouldn’t have to stare at it telling me that I got a 5+ word for an eternity. I don’t need to be told every single time, nor do I want to stare at that for so long. If there was a way to disable or skip that little cutscene, I would play this way more often

### 5/5 — Really good

*2018-01-26, version 1.5*

It’s really fun but you should be able to buy gems for in game coins
Other than that it’s a really fun game

### 2/5 — I liked it, but it freezes and finally wouldn’t work at all

*2018-01-21, version 1.5*

I played and beat all the levels. Got some badge thing when I prestiged. Then the game wouldn’t work anymore and I had to delete and reinstall. All my progress was erased. Plus this game used more battery than anything else I’ve ever seen. I’m talking like 10% every few minutes.

### 3/5 — Fun and challenging game

*2018-01-18, version 1.5*

My wife downloaded this game and I watched her play it in bed for hours... So of course I had to try it for myself, now I’m hooked!

### 5/5 — Syllablyde

*2017-12-21, version 1.5*

This game is awesome it has helped me with my vocabulary so much thank you syllables.

### 3/5 — Nice

*2017-12-16, version 1.5*

Nice

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2017-12-11, version 1.5*

Fun game!

### 4/5 — Good but not great

*2017-12-08, version 1.5*

3.5 out of 5.

First off, I should say it’s great fun to play. Quick, simple gameplay with some hidden strategic depth in the form of when to play power crystals and balancing the highest scoring word against a lower scoring one that gives greater reward for hitting a perfect strike. RPG elements are light, more a case of powering up your character in terms of hit points and attack strength; but also different weapons give different power up effects.  No story as such but not really necessary either.  Just good, all round fun that fits the mobile platform perfectly.

Now the bad - the word dictionary is poor to say the least. As others have mentioned, I’ve had several, perfectly valid English words that just aren’t recognised in this game - and that is incredibly frustrating in a word game and it just cheapens the experience. The Devs would do well to replace the dictionary with the universally accepted SOWPODS dictionary used in Scrabble - would easily elevate the game to 5 stars in my opinion.

So as my post title says - Good but not great; but it could be with a simple change.

### 5/5 — Kinda gets boring after a while

*2017-11-28, version 1.5*

Well, this game was fun for a few weeks or so, I mean it's just making words and attacking monsters and by the way how come I lose my bones when I go to my clan? Anyway, would be helpful if it got an update or something. Or Syllablade 2 or like other games get updates or new levels or sequels.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Words

*2025-04-13, version 2.3*

Updating my former review.  Love the game because it helps keep the brain sharp, but I seriously have no idea which dictionary they’re pulling their words from; I have a broad vocabulary and use words that are Scrabble approved and words that I use in my everyday life, but neither are accepted.  

On top of that, I made sure that I kept my clan in the #1 spot all week.  We were ahead by well over 1,000 points.  The reward should have been 1,000 coins for first place, but when I just checked … I still only have 20 coins.  Where is my reward?  Where are the words?  

I guess I’ll go do Sudoku or something because this game is not it in its current state.  Deleting immediately.

### 1/5 — Clan wars rewards

*2020-05-10, version 1.5*

My clan success factory got first place in the clan wars, but none of us received any of the rewards, is there a way to fix it?

### 1/5 — Treasure Chests Freeze Game

*2018-01-11, version 1.5*

I have been playing this game for months now and the treasure chests just started freezing my game. Not ok that I sit through a 30 second ad and then not get any gold! Please fix and I will change my review accordingly.

### 1/5 — h

*2017-12-26, version 1.5*

whenever i watch a video to revive i just stay dead

### 1/5 — No clan war rewards! Other issues

*2017-11-05, version 1.5*

My clan “Game of Bones” finished 6th in the war that just ended, and was set to receive the payout for 5th-10th of 2000 coins. I waited until this morning to write this review to make absolutely sure there was not a delayed payout. We did not receive our reward! The only aspect of this game that makes it worth playing is the weekly clan war. If we are not going to receive rewards for participating, then this game is not worth my time. 
Next issue....clearly stated in the shop is a sentence that says ads will go away with ANY purchase. Well, I made a purchase and I am still getting ads, just as many as before my purchase. So... not only are they not paying out rewards, they are conning you into spending money. 
Last issue....what dictionary are you using for this game? It’s bad enough that we end up with a board of almost all consonants or vowels, but then I try to make a word I know exists and the game doesn’t recognize it as a word, I mean c’mon! 

1 Star until these issues are resolved.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2017-10-31, version 1.5*

Crashes all the time and bugged out on a monster called monster of long name also it's 4/3 monster level should have completed irks me a bit but other than that it's fun

### 1/5 — Unterirdisches Deutsch

*2017-10-31*

Die Übersetzung ins Deutsche ist richtig schlecht. Der halbe Shop ist auf Englisch. Statt Ä steht überall Á. Das nervt enorm.

Entwickler: Bitte baut eine Möglichkeit ein das Spiel auf Englisch umzustellen! Das ist besser als das miserable Halb-Deutsch. So kann ich das nicht spielen.

### 1/5 — I love this game BUT...

*2017-10-24, version 1.4*

Sometimes the magic does not work, and sometimes the boxes are blank and they don’t fill the whole thing, just whole black. And sometimes I don’t get my turn the enemy goes and hits me like 5x in a row. These glitches are annoying. Disappointed. 😞

### 1/5 — The Mountains

*2017-10-23, version 1.4*

Final boss on level 24 has multiple attacks while player has none.  The letter tiles keep disappearing until you’re dead. 
So, no help anywhere online and none from the developers rates this app at 1 star. 
If ZERO stars was available, it’d be zero.

### 1/5 — ...

*2017-10-23*

Nach dem lade bild is Schluss.
App stürzt ab.
Also nicht Spielbar.
iPhone 6.

*2018-11-26, version 1.5*

This is a pretty good word game!But if you guys can make an update like put more levels or more customizations that would make the game 10x better 😁

### 5/5 — Most fun puzzle game ever!

*2018-08-24, version 1.5*
