Doesn’t show scores. Cuts off during play. ### 4/5 — Love the game, BUT… *2024-01-18* I love this game and play nearly everyday. But it crashes on me and sometimes it doesn’t load. Have their been any updates? I get frustrated when it will not open or kicks me out. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. New update is coming. ### 2/5 — Crashing constantly now, Oct 2023 *2023-10-27, version 4.18* I’ve played this game for years with enjoyment, but suddenly, for the last couple of weeks, it’s buffering continually, very long pauses after each game, and then crashing. Hope you can get it fixed soon or I’ll have to delete it. ### 2/5 — I’ve played this game for about a year and used to really enjoy it. *2023-10-20* My son and I both loved playing this game for the last year or more and loved it. Every evening we would play. Recently they must have updated the game, that’s the only thing I can think of that has caused it to change. We can no longer play the game because all it does is buffer like it’s loading, until it crashes. Sometimes it will let me play but while I’m waiting for my score it crashes. Even when I’m checking the leader board. I finally decided to delete it and then download it again,thus losing my ranking. It didn’t fix the problem. I play from an iPad and my son plays from a Samsung phone and the same thing happens on both. I’m afraid I may have to delete it for good. There are two versions, but they both do the same thing! I really hope you fix this soon. ### 3/5 — Fun but… *2023-09-23, version 4.18* I enjoy the game, but I question the dictionary they are getting their words from. Many words are wrong—sometimes it doesn’t count words that are correct and other times it considers misspelled words as correct. (“Luv” was one of the words today.) I wish there were a way to flag incorrect words and words that are correct and should be added. ### 2/5 — The new orange background is awful! *2021-01-02, version 4.09* It is really hard to look at as the contrast is so bad between the background and the tiles! It makes it so hard to focus on the letters. Bring back the dark background! This is such bad design for people with low vision! ### 4/5 — Dictionary used? *2020-08-10, version 4.0.3* I love the classic mode, but often wonder why some words are considered words when they are actually abbreviations. Also in classic mode when you fail, it would be nice to see the correct answer. Inquiring minds want to know. ### 2/5 — Good but could be a lot better *2020-04-29, version 3.3* Fun but sometimes crashes (goes right to the app home screen) right after the round is early and sometimes even ends the round early with like 8 seconds left. Smoother UX would be great ### 4/5 — Portrait Orientation *2019-10-10, version 2.1* Landscape would be so much easier, please consider the option. 👍🏻 ### 4/5 — Game Crashes *2019-07-04, version 2.1* I really liked this game but lately it keeps crashing before I can finish a game in solo mode which is what I like to play. Please fix this and I will give it more stars ### 2/5 — Awesome game but update the scores! *2019-05-14, version 2.1* Update: 2019 once I got to the achievement board I was in 160th place I noticed that many of my words per game that I made were not registering points. If they had I would be scoring higher than my previous high score per game and keep moving up the board. Also the game continues to crash and I have the same phone I did when I started playing the first time. Why are there no developer “bug” fixes like other games? Why doesnt the developers fix the game crashing that I and other people are having? I don’t play this game as often because of these two system problems which is a shame. Beware the game hooks you then frustrates you. I am obsessed with this game in the competition mode but I am frustrated because my total score and rank dont change for at least 2 weeks. I know other people are playing but my score has been the same for 9 days so I dont check it anymore. Other than that I refer this game to everyone. ### 4/5 — Only one thing! *2019-03-06, version 2.1* I enjoy solo mode but have to use the Hint button to change screens?! I don’t want a hint; I just want to go to an unfinished screen page. I am getting used to slang and abbreviated words common in language but amazed that some words are included. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads make it unplayable *2024-02-27, version 5.01* This game was great til February 2024. Ads play between games and interfer with your time to play the next round. Really disappointed. ### 1/5 — Please fix this! *2024-01-14* We love this game but can no longer play it because, no matter what device we use, or how many times I come back to check, it is still happening and seems to be getting worse. I really hope this game can be fixed, it was a favorite but not any more! ### 1/5 — Most recent update has destroyed this game *2020-12-04, version 4.0.6* I don’t know the reason for elimination of the untamed mode, or for the change in the contest mode that removes all the info about word lengths and number of words in the puzzle. ### 1/5 — Ruined the game! *2020-07-08, version 4.0.3* The last update totally changed my favorite game to something I don’t even recognize. It’s a completely different game! Please bring back the old version which was all in yellow, not this new multi-color monstrosity! ### 1/5 — Latest update ruined the game *2020-06-28, version 4.02* The latest update completely changed how the game is played. Solo mode is now only timed and the challenge of finding words without hints is gone. I deleted the app. Not what I wanted. ### 1/5 — Bug needs fixing *2019-04-23, version 2.1* It is so very annoying when about 50% of the time it skips the list of words and my score. After it skips these, then I have to wait about 12-15 seconds while it ticks down, which is the exact same amount of time it would Have been using to show the word list and my score. Thanks for your attention! ### 1/5 — Help *2019-02-11, version 2.1* Just downloaded the game. I hear a sound as I tape each letter to make a word but no letters appear on the board. How do I get the words to “enter”? ### 1/5 — Honeycomb *2015-09-25, version 1.2* Scores are not adding up ### 2/5 — Fix the crashing!! *2023-11-24, version 4.18* Why won't they fix the constant crashing of the game?? It is just about unbearable to play now. Please, please fix this. ### 2/5 — Crashing *2023-11-09, version 4.18* Keeps crashing. On Both IOS and Android… Loved this game. Devs please fix ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun game *2024-04-02, version 5.05* KIt’s fun but they don’t give you enough time. ### 5/5 — Love the game, BUT… *2024-02-01, version 4.18* I love this game and play nearly everyday. But it crashes on me and sometimes it doesn’t load. Have their been any updates? I get frustrated when it will not open or kicks me out. ### 5/5 — Granny *2023-05-03, version 4.16* Very thought provoking,keeps your mind act ### 5/5 — Text Test 2 *2021-04-25, version 4.15* Love text twist. Very enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Enjoy it but *2021-02-25, version 4.14* Great game pass time when you may only have a few minutes. Ok, I don’t always understand your word list when you accept Latino, but not Latin. My one complaint is not all the words I find make it to my word list for scoring. I might find the longest word, the board indicates it and I assume it gets added. But it doesn’t always. A little frustrated with that. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-08-26, version 4.0.3* Very addictive but fun! ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-12-21, version 2.1* Fun, not the easiest game and I think some of the words are made up but still fun. ### 5/5 — For Word Lovers *2019-09-21, version 2.1* Fun game. Please make new puzzles and include more common medical terms - such as “nares” and why not place names? ### 5/5 — Unauthorized charges *2018-12-26, version 2.1* I have been charged for coins without authorizing them. Tried to contact them and wouldn’t accept the form. Has this happened to anyone else and how was it fixed? ### 5/5 — Text twist *2018-08-24, version 2.1* When do your scores change? I have played a lot this week but the score numbers haven't changed. It's starting to be no fun if your score doesn't change. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
