### 5/5 — Solid game

*2026-08-11, version 1.0.18*

Great game that feels good to use! Great customizability that can genuinely be challenging if wanted.

### 5/5 — Challenging but addicting!

*2026-06-24, version 1.0.18*

I stumbled upon this app and am really enjoying it! A lot of boggle-type apps are just not satisfying to play solo and the ads are very obtrusive. I love this unique take on a word search game. The hints are the perfect amount of helpful but leave a lot of room to be challenged. I’ve been hooked since I downloaded it yesterday, lol.

### 5/5 — 10/10 Tauggle is the best

*2026-04-09, version 1.0.18*

This game is free, available offline, no ads, no forced in-app purchases; you can generate boards at will, and you can use hints!

### 4/5 — Great game but look cheap

*2025-11-28, version 1.0.18*

I really love the game its challenging customizable and you can play offline and even online with no harraaing ads but the game need more / polish in its feel and design

### 5/5 — best road trip game

*2025-06-06, version 1.0.17*

this game is:
-offline 
-free
-super fun
-genuinely challenging at times
-super customizable

### 4/5 — Top Choice but…

*2025-02-01, version 1.0.17*

Great for brain strain but why do you remove so many words from the original source. Even the Merriam-Webster dictionary can’t find some of the words used.
A major gripe is the use of so many lazy “Americanisms” like …I’ve and …ization or .. azationism. The world outside insular USA doesn’t use the letter Zed aka Zee to USA.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2024-07-03, version 1.0.16*

Designed so you always win! And it works in airplane mode!

### 5/5 — Love the game but dictionary should be improved

*2023-09-22, version 1.0.12*

Great game, have been playing nothing but this game all week. However, dictionary should be updated to follow the Oxford English Dictionary or Merriam-Webster Dictionary as certain English words are not recognised. For example, simple words like "mien" and "fey" not recognised. There is also an inconsistent use of UK/US spelling - both "nationalise" and "nationalize" were accepted.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2023-09-16, version 1.0.12*

Very fun game to pass time and get your brains cogs turning,definitely recommend giving it a go!

### 5/5 — Challenging yet enjoyable

*2023-08-13, version 1.0.8*

I downloaded it last night and so far I’ve cleared 3 boards, and I must say that this game is quite challenging! It really pushes you to think and tests your knowledge of language. Th hints are helpful without giving words to you entirely, and I really like how it lists how many words are left with that prefix. Playing has been an enjoyable experience, especially on the train!! Great work, I look forward to future updates 👍
