I can’t stress how much I love the game. The informative facts are fine. The quotes from pseudo intellectual’s are abhorrent. The quotes are from people without any kind of self-awareness or insight. I am renaming the quote portion, “Time for Cringe: Quotes from the Worst Among Us.” ### 3/5 — Dictionary Issues *2025-05-03* Like most words games, they live and die by the quality and consistency of the dictionary they use. There’s an enjoyable daily word game here, but missing words spoil the fun, e.g. “goth” is acceptable, but “nerd” isn’t, and there are so many more examples like this. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback about the dictionary's consistency. It’s vital for enjoying the game, and we’re always looking to improve that experience! ### 3/5 — Why *2025-02-07, version 1.1.1* Why has it TWICE deleted my progress?! ### 4/5 — Tumblewords playa *2025-01-18* Love the game but rarely can I find anyone to play against. If you come out with a good word your opponent bails or never shows up at all. ### 4/5 — Great Concept, Could Use Improvement *2024-12-20* This is one of the better word games I’ve seen in a while. I love the game concept and how clean the UI is. I’m also a fan of the different challenges the game offers. I would like to know what dictionary this game uses and/or how the list of valid words is generated. I’ve had some very common words not be accepted (e.g. “nerd” and “gene”) and I found it quite frustrating. I also wish there were a way to set an option for timed moves when searching for a game. Something like 1-2 minutes per move would be ideal. At the very least, for the longer player vs. player games, there should be a maximum number of days you can take to make a move before forfeiting the game. Thank you for all your hard work in developing this game! Looking forward to future the updates. **Developer response:** Hi Faxeleun, thanks for the positive words on the concept and UI. We’ll take your feedback forward, we really appreciate your thoughts. Keep enjoying the challenges! ### 3/5 — Mostly great *2024-12-13* A good, less pretentious version of that one newspapers game. One annoying thing on the harder levels is there’s no “forfeit and do over “ when you mess up and are 600 points behind. Not real fun to continue after you lose the round. **Developer response:** HI VoiceOfReality, thanks for your review and we're glad you're enjoying the game! We hear your concern about the lack of a "forfeit" option on harder levels. Your insights are incredibly valuable, and we've noted it for consideration. Thank you for sharing! ### 4/5 — Bots in Player vs player? *2024-12-03* I really enjoy this game, but recently in the “player vs. player” mode, opponents will join a game but act entirely like a bot. They respond instantly no matter when you take your turn, and they don’t seem concerned with winning, so it makes the game kind of pointless. I’d rather wait a long time for a real opponent than play against a bot when I can do that in other parts of the game. One other thing I don’t like is when the buttons bounce around on the home page. It’s weirdly stressful. Also maybe it’s just me, but the quotes and fun facts aren’t that interesting. I read them because I feel like I should, but honestly I just want to skip past them. ### 4/5 — Finally a word game I like *2024-12-02, version 1.1.1* Awesome game, but some obvious words are missing, and please add an dictionary when viewing words we missed ### 4/5 — Gray matter gaming 🧠 *2024-11-27* The game crashed on me the very first time I played, but after reloading it worked just fine. Looking forward to enriching my intellectual wellness with this awesome game! I love how it spits out these little random odd facts after finishing a match. Playing against the bot definitely keeps you on your toes. 👍 **Developer response:** Hello there chrisandepher, and thanks for the review! Really glad to hear you're liking the game. :) ### 3/5 — PvP stalemate! *2024-11-24, version 1.1.1* I currently have 6 player vs player games on the go and all of them have been 24 hrs or more since I played my last word. There needs to be a time limit on this so if the other player doesn’t play a new word they get a penalty or forfeit their turn. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — GAF ADANAPORP *2025-06-01* Scramble the words. It sure *was* a fun game. Tranny flags and propaganda. KCUF, is it June already? No thanks, TSOGGAF Disgusting. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save *2025-04-07, version 1.1.3* Several times I’ve played, then left the game, when I’ve gone back I’m starting at the tutorial. It could be great but not when the saves aren’t working ### 1/5 — 100+ day streak gone *2025-03-16, version 1.1.3* Please can somebody fix the issue with storage? I’ve currently lost my 100+ day streak 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️😭 ### 1/5 — NEEDS WORK! *2025-02-01* I love this game because it challenges your vocabulary and keeps you engaged, but it crashes way too much! Literally lost over 1 month of data. Contact app support and they say there is nothing they can do. Fix it! ### 1/5 — TED, did you check this? *2025-01-13* Whatever concession/fee the TED organization received for this license wasn’t enough. The harm done to the reputations of both Netflix and TED from this basic, problematic, buggy app makes me like everything less. The streak counts are constantly wrong, the dictionaries are inadequate, the ‘reward’ facts are poorly researched/worded, and the entire experience makes one yearn for a world without language. The grunts of cavepersons would be preferable. The execs in charge of this green-light need serious oversight. Ugh. ### 1/5 — Incredibly buggy *2024-11-26* Do not recommend **Developer response:** Hey OniLgnd! Sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the game. We are constantly working on improving the game based on the feedback from our players, so thank you for sharing your feedback on what we could improve. ### 1/5 — My progress from the past few days since launch got wiped. *2024-11-22* I was having such an enjoyable time playing the different daily modes that it became part of my daily rotation of games that I play. It’s the only word game that I play as I usually hate word games. When I opened the app today to play the daily modes, I saw that all my progress from the past few days since launch has disappeared. Completely crushed thinking of all the effort I put into the puzzles these past few days. Will be uninstalling. **Developer response:** Hello myhisham, and thanks for the review! Our support team would be happy to hear any concerns you might have about the game, can you contact them at https://help.netflix.com/en/contactus They’ll be waiting for your message! ### 2/5 — Could be better *2025-04-07, version 1.1.3* The games against the “TED bot”, even at expert level, are too easy. Multi-player games are unfair in that a time-out is not considered a win when the other player stops playing (usually because certain of their loss). ### 2/5 — Word Washed *2024-12-15* I am astounded by the basic words missing from the game’s dictionary. The final straw was when the word “wed” did not count. I am offended. This is censorship and wrong and I refuse to play it anymore. Too bad, because it was a fun game until this happened. ### 2/5 — Eh *2024-12-08* It’s disappointing that they limit game time to just a few minutes. **Developer response:** Hi Marci Lynn K, we appreciate your feedback about the limited game time. Your thoughts are important to us as we strive to enhance the gaming experience. Thank you for sharing your perspective! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Learning *2025-04-27* Very fun **Developer response:** Thanks for the wonderful review, and we're glad you're enjoying the experience. Happy gaming! ### 5/5 — Mostly great *2025-04-04* Sometimes doesn’t accept words it should but sometimes it accepts weird letter combinations as bonafide words **Developer response:** Hey there! Glad to hear your honest feedback, it’s always appreciated. Thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Great word game *2024-12-16* If you like word games like wordle or word scales this is the game for you it’s fun ever changing and you go against other players **Developer response:** Hi Lelolocket, it's wonderful to hear that you're enjoying the competitive and dynamic elements of the game. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ### 5/5 — No complaints except.. *2024-12-14* All of my player vs player games show the other user as “unknown” - I set the game up on my grandmothers iPad and set her username in the Netflix game settings but she is still showing up as “unknown” on my end. Hard to tell games apart from each other. ### 5/5 — Very fun *2024-11-27* A straightforward but very slick word puzzle game with an interesting fact after every game. **Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks a lot for the review, and hope you keep enjoying the game! :) ### 5/5 — What an excellent game! *2024-11-26* In a sea of word games it is always a joy to find an outstanding one and Tumblewords easily receives that distinction. I am blown away (and hooked), what a fun and engaging game! Great job TED, keep em’ coming. **Developer response:** Hi Ritec23, and thanks for the review! Hope you continue having fun playing! :) ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2024-11-21* Super fun word game, great addition to daily game play. Love the ladder function and different options to play. **Developer response:** Hey there KFrie_980! Thanks a lot for the review, and hope you keep enjoying the game! :) ### 5/5 — This is going in the rotation big time *2024-11-20* There are four modes in here and every single one is a banger. Super polished too. **Developer response:** Hi there Maxathon, and thanks for the review! Hope you continue having fun playing! :) ### 4/5 — Fun but could use more games *2025-03-14* The game is fun, and there’s a few variations of it, but it could use another game or two for variety. **Developer response:** Really glad you’re having fun, and we totally get where you’re coming from. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! ### 4/5 — The word “wed” is not accepted *2025-02-27, version 1.1.3* I understand that some words which are not politically correct are not accepted. But how come the word “wed” is not? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
