### 5/5 — Favorite!

*2026-08-13*

This is my favorite word game, by far! The games work your brain without pressure. Each game is also fun while offering a challenge. The level of challenge is really self imposed. To top it off, even the free version is not inundated with ads. In fact, there are barely any. I think I may have one very short ad when I first start the game, but I don’t even think that is every time. TED has made a great name for themselves while encouraging the world to think, create, inspire, engage and educate and this game just adds to their list of accomplishments.

### 2/5 — Unplayable

*2026-08-05*

I first played this game when it was on Netflix games, during that period of time there were no long duration ads, it was fun. Learn learned a lot of new words, had fun. Now it is genuinely unplayable unless you want to pay eight dollars. I wouldn’t mind it as much if it didn’t last a whole minute and a half before i can even play the game. I downloaded to support the amazing developers but it just seems like a game that forces you to pay.

### 1/5 — Don’t do it unless you wanna pay

*2026-07-21*

Does that thing where ads come up and they’re impossible to get off the screen without completely closing out of the app

### 1/5 — Ads infested

*2026-06-18, version 1.7.2*

It was a great app when Netflix owned it now it’s just ads. And no, I’m not paying to remove them. Rather uninstalling it.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-06-11, version 1.7.2*

This is the Best word game, Ever - Without a doubt!

### 5/5 — Best word games

*2026-05-14, version 1.7.2*

I am on the top 20 leader board because I play it so often. No stupid ads with one off payment. Love the cute haptics and sounds. Like a high tech 9 letter. My pattern recognition skills are improving. The only game I really play (sorry Wordle, I’ll binge you again one day soon…)

### 2/5 — Doesn’t honor in app purchases

*2026-03-24*

Constantly makes you view ads even after purchasing

**Developer response:** Hi there! The only ads you should see after that purchase are totally optional rewarded ads. If you're seeing ads between levels, please email us at support@frostypop.com so we can look into this!

### 2/5 — No remove ad option

*2026-02-25*

Would happily pay to remove the 60 second+ ads but they seem to have removed that option completely? Having to slog through ads so long my phone goes to sleep before they finished straight-up ruins the game.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Our most recent update has fixed this issue. Thank you for playing, and for your patience.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-02-24*

Would be a great game, but purchasing it doesn't get rid of the ads. I have "restored" the purchase only to have it show force another ad 2 minutes later. I won't play games with ads so had to delete. Wasted my money

**Developer response:** Hi there! Our most recent update has fixed this issue. Thank you for playing, and for your patience.

### 5/5 — Still buggy !

*2026-02-08, version 1.7.1*

App is not logging my score with the leaderboard for the game in play - actual score on the game is much higher than on the leaderboard. 
Leaderboard appears to finish one hour before the next game is available. 
Lost all my history! 
I am unable to see how I finished up on a game’s leaderboard unless I am literally watching it as it finishes. 
Get this right and you have got an absolute winner of an app! Unfortunately these issues are getting frustrating and threatening the loyalty of those of us that knew this game under Netflix. 
Please fix this!!
