One of the Web's best! *2019-12-11* Eric Snider has another great App here. Clever and addicting, each puzzle makes two words which are combined into an everyday phrase. Thanks, Eric More! Please! ### 5/5 — Tuklu *2019-04-18, version 1.0.3* So much fun! ### 5/5 — Addictive *2018-12-27, version 1.0.3* Fun and amusing. Good time, over to soon ### 5/5 — ccsoup *2017-11-06, version 1.0.3* Great game! ### 5/5 — Fun! *2017-09-29, version 1.0.3* Addictive quick little word puzzles! My new favourite game! ### 5/5 — Tuklu is great! I want more! *2017-08-11, version 1.0.3* Come up with more games Eric Snider! ### 5/5 — Great Game if You Stick With It *2017-06-03, version 1.0.3* Fun, mentally challenging. Sometimes the word clues are obvious and sometimes after you solve the clues are nonsensically crazy! ### 5/5 — Addicting *2017-05-11* Love, love, love this game finished it in 2 days More please Was asked to give another review. I haven't changed my mind. This is a fun game. Out of clues? Just wait a while and more appear free fun ### 5/5 — Wish there was more *2017-04-07* Challenging. Sometimes hidden word doesn't seem to relate to the clue, but I learned once one of the two answers is complete, to focus on the two words making a phrase. Finishing the 500 puzzles went by too fast. ### 5/5 — Fun and amusing *2017-02-25* Makes you think and the clues and answers are often very droll. Nice distraction from other games and unique among word games. ### 5/5 — Great game bro *2017-01-19, version 1.0.3* ''Tis a great way 2 kill time when I'm sitting in my tractor! By sitting I mean on the floor and by tractor I mean toy replica. I play with toy tractors!! And tuclu!! How about you? Yes. ### 5/5 — Quick and fun! *2017-01-15* A nice challenge that can be played for short or long times. Great for standing in line or between turns on other games. ### 5/5 — Just hard enough *2017-01-05* Fun, clever, challenging. Constant annoying ads, with no offer to buy out of them. But the game is really well thought out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Good game, but only for US *2016-07-05, version 1.0.3* It's a good concept and nice game play, but the clues are far too US-oriented for an international market - very few people outside the US would have any idea about specific models of car, or that 'rummy' is slang for 'drunk'. I got a fair way using just the possible letter positions, but could see I'd soon run out of energy. ### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating *2017-03-17* I like this game -- the clues being puns adds a twist that is a challenge. I have it on two devices (phone and iPad) but alternating between them doesn't work very well because there's only one set of games. If I play a bunch on one device, I still have to play them again on the other device before moving forward. If the devices are so connected that each one knows I've already played "that game" then why can't it scroll through and continue to the next one? Very frustrating! ### 3/5 — TULU *2014-12-24, version 1.0.1* Not a bad game,it would be better if questions were for UK instead of American ### 3/5 — Ok *2014-12-07, version 1.0.1* A lot of americanisms an I could not turn off the music. ### 4/5 — Tuklu *2018-12-29, version 1.0.3* A real fun game, thanks ### 4/5 — Tuklu *2017-08-25* Sort of zen. Easy, relaxing. I'd give it five stars IF another packet of puzzles were offered. Willing to pay for those. Also, offer ad free - again I'd pay ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-08-23, version 1.0.3* Fun, fast game. When will there be more? ### 4/5 — Cleaver but ads too annoying *2017-05-10* The pop-up ads are to be expected in a free game. However, the 20-to-30 second video ads make this game one to delete. Good idea and fun game, but ads constantly and cannot even solve two puzzles in a row. Will check back on next update. ### 4/5 — Simple Smart Fun *2017-03-13, version 1.0.3* This game makes you think, it makes you smarter. Like Hangman for adults. ### 4/5 — Simple fun wordplay *2017-01-13, version 1.0.3* An enjoyable diversion for people who like word puzzles but don't have time for a full crossword. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Clever, challenging and amusing *2025-02-23, version 1.2* I have enjoyed solving Tuklu puzzles, and almost always get a chuckle out of the solutions. Very enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2025-01-27* The clues are a bit challenging, but not impossible. You lose energy for each wrong letter guess, but you can get 8 energy back for free just by watching a short ad. That’s more than fair. I have never called an app “perfect” before. But this one is. It’s perfect. ### 5/5 — Clever and very gratifying! *2023-07-17, version 1.2* Give us more, please… ### 5/5 — Excellent wordplay puzzles *2023-05-31* Some of the clues are quite tricky, and are obscure enough that that some players might not recognize the connection, but they’re quite well written — I would say nearly all are up to “NYT crossword” standard. Continuing with that analogy, I’d say the difficulty level ranges from Tuesday to Saturday, with most in the Wednesday-Friday range. ### 5/5 — Just great *2022-09-15, version 1.2* Sad that I solved all the riddles. Great game. Some clues are a bit dated. ### 5/5 — Very clever and fun to play! *2021-09-16, version 1.2* Loved playing! ### 5/5 — Tuklu *2021-05-17, version 1.2* Fun game ### 5/5 — Very clever clues *2021-01-17* Sophisticated, crossword-style clues! Surprising to find such quality challenges in a free word game. This was really fun. I’m only sorry I got through all 500 puzzles! ### 5/5 — Clever Clues *2020-12-24, version 1.2* Starting with its punny name, these clues will have you saying, “Oh, I get it!” ### 5/5 — Clever and Charming *2020-04-06* I love it. Crossword puzzle fans will smile at the wit. Perfectionists will try to get higher and higher numbers. One for completion, two for perfection adds up, but every mistake will cost you! (FYI: the vocabulary and cultural references skew somewhat more British than American.) **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review!
