Hints no longer works

I enjoy the game and I play the Daily Puzzle every day, but now the Hints button doesn't work at all: I can't tap on it to watch videos to get hints. This has been happening for a while. And there has not been an update for the game in some time. Please update and fix this bug.

Can’t even load

I can’t even load the game on my iPad A16. Please fix this bug.

Too many weird words

Some puzzles are fun, but so many of the words are not real. If you finally get one and then look it up, no dictionary anywhere can find it. I’m actually stuck in one now for three days, even AI can’t solve it, so I’m deleting the app.

So many glitches

I resent the multiple fake security alert “ads.” Clicking on tutorial leaves the screen covered in words without clearing it.
