If I try to change screens, it just goes black and I can’t get it back. I have to completely leave the game then go back into it. If I go too soon, I still can’t get into it. ### 4/5 — Awesome *2016-03-14* I love playing this crossword. I believe it helps with keeping my mind sharp. I play this game just about everyday. I have learned a lot! Great job creating this app. Thanks ### 5/5 — Player *2014-09-27* Love the game. Challenging yet not overly difficult. Many thanks for a fine app. ### 5/5 — Best crossword!!!! *2014-08-25* Love this app!!

Fun for Wordy Fanatics ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Freezing *2023-09-29, version 5.62* When are they going to fix this game it freezes 3 to 4 times every crossword plus it won’t download the multiplayer game. No problem with all of the ads though . Get your act together developers. Please also need new content same clues over and over. ### 1/5 — Update stinks *2017-03-19* Your new update is horrible. I can not adjust the colors and get it to keep the correct letters when solving a puzzle. Not thrilled about the selection of levels to play. All of the same complaints. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2016-12-10, version 5.4* Frustrating. Quite good design totally ruined by the requirement that even though I bought the game, every time I wanted a letter or anagram or word, to either pay more money or watch an Ad. This is so frustrating that I am deleting the game as soon as I finish this review. Not recommended. ### 1/5 — Does not open a game *2014-04-16* Following the instructions in help, no game opened in any of the three places. Only a picture of flowers showed. This game is not working! ### 3/5 — Better than the last version *2023-04-29, version 5.62* App is better than the last version, but still has a few bugs ### 3/5 — Spelling!! *2022-03-13, version 5.62* Very frustrating that American used so often & answers don’t always make sense- otherwise ok! ### 3/5 — Good *2017-07-02, version 5.46* Only gave three stars as although is a good game i only have two options in the options menu, turn sound on/off and show correct letters on/off which do not seem to work. I can't see any option to change background. I also pressed the button for advert free but nothing happens. It is still worth having though and hope an update will sort out the problems. ### 3/5 — K *2015-11-14, version 5.4* Love the game but half way through lose all points and end up - 300000 for no reason ### 4/5 — Glitchy *2024-04-05, version 5.62* It’s a bit temperamental, but the crosswords are ok ### 4/5 — Great games but beware of US spelling! *2020-09-07, version 5.62* These are good games, especially as they are free, but can be a bit confusing for UK users as answers use US spelling and terminology. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-02-19, version 5.62* Love it ### 5/5 — Challenge your vocabulary today! *2025-08-12* Very challenging game! ### 5/5 — Okay *2022-07-22, version 5.62* Good game when you figure out the American thinking and language ### 5/5 — nice *2021-12-06* pretty123 ### 5/5 — Word up *2020-10-25, version 5.62* Been playing this for years.
