### 2/5 — More time

*2026-04-28, version 1.0.15*

Needs to give more time it’s too fast

### 3/5 — Not what I expected

*2025-05-21, version 1.0.15*

Downloaded this thinking it would challenge me to pay closer attention. It didn’t. It was a game of speed. Just not what I was looking for. Has potential for people who enjoy those types of games but just wasn’t for me.

### 1/5 — Never ending

*2025-03-31, version 1.0.15*

This is a very frustrating game. No matter how long you play, you can never w(h)in(e).

### 3/5 — Love it But….

*2025-03-08, version 1.0.15*

I like relaxing puzzles and this would be perfect WITHOUT THE TIMER

### 3/5 — Gets Boring After. While

*2022-11-22, version 1.0.15*

If you are a good speller, or a proofreader, this game is fun for a while.  But it’s pretty much all the same—page after page, looking for a typo.

### 1/5 — Dyslexia

*2022-11-14, version 1.0.15*

I spent less than 5 minutes playing this game. I though it was going to increase in the length and difficulty of the words, with complex typos. Instead they’ll replace an o with a q, or switch two letters. They only shorten the time you have to read it, but it never gets more complex.  It just makes me feel dyslexic. Which is not the experience I play mobile games for. 

Also only one chapter is free and other “genres” are paid.

### 3/5 — nice i guess, but has a couple issues

*2022-07-10, version 1.0.15*

the game is pretty smooth and calming to play however a lot of the typos feel very obvious and do not feel like they actually expect you to know how to spell. the stories are boring too but i don’t care as much about that. i did run into an error saying that one of the misspelled words i clicked on wasn’t an array though before it kicked me out of the app so i would just check that.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2022-03-13, version 1.0.15*

You may play one trial round for free, a short story in which you must find letters with random consonants. For example, we all know there’s no j or x in the word, “where.” The game seems to imply one would have to carefully choose “where, were, or we’re,” but it’s not that. It’s just random letters thrown into the words of a storyline.

### 4/5 — IAP?

*2020-09-18, version 1.0.15*

Good game just fix the IAP

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2019-11-11, version 1.0.13*

I enjoy this game tremendously and play regularly. The reason it’s only got three stars is because of two issues:
1. It regularly crashes 
2. If the typo is a three letter word it doesn’t allow me to select it. 
If you fix these issues I will gladly give you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
