### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-07-08*

“Easy” level isn’t so simple it’s boring.  Medium and harder levels are challenging.  I like this hangman version a lot.

### 1/5 — Compare it to this.

*2026-07-05*

Let met ask you this. Lets say you had 100$ and you were gonna buy a...lets say a bike with it. The bike on the box was very advanced and had 40 extra features plus being very rare. You bought it. Now, you are unboxing it. You open the cardboard and inside the box, you see a trycicle with a broken wheel, disfunctional brakes, rusty handlebars, a broken headlight, and a torn up seat. Assentially, you were ripped off. Now you go back to the store, and you tell the manager about it, and he says, "its okay. Everyone has differnent preferences. Just because you do not like it does not mean its a bad product." And you say, "WHO ON EARTH IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT THIS PRODUCT?!?!?!"

### 1/5 — THE VERY BEST PART WAS DELETING IT

*2026-05-17*

This app is very very wrong. It just felt wrong purchasing it. The only other times I feel that way are when I have to walk into a public rest-room at mccdonalds. I clicked on it. Worst thing I've ever done. "DID YOU KNOW THAT ALBERT ENSTIEN GOD BAD GRADES AS A CHILD?" anyway...When I clicked on it...I was met with more adds then I have ever seen in my life. If I could rate it out of a hundred, it would get 6-7 stars.

### 1/5 — sucks

*2026-02-17, version 5.0*

SUCKS

### 3/5 — Word part is too small

*2026-02-01, version 5.0*

Would be better if word to be guessed was bigger. Much bigger

### 2/5 — theyre everywhere

*2025-09-12*

but where were they when the towers fell

### 5/5 — THIS GAME IS BETTER THEN LIFE

*2025-05-26, version 4.7*

THIS GAME IS BETTER THEN LIFE GETS. THIS GAME IS SOOO GOOD!!!!!!! PLAY THIS GAME!!! ITS SO ENJOYABLE AND FUN AND AWSOME AND WONDERFUL AND GLORIUS. GOD RULES ALL. SPECTACULAR. I WOULD RATHER HAVE THIS GAME THEN A MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!! OH MY MY MY MY M!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!

### 3/5 — NOT GREAT

*2025-01-15*

This game needs a lot of work to bring it up to par. Categories are inaccurate and need to be more accurate. For example; Some birds are listed as animals. The same goes for reptiles which should have their own category, etc, etc, etc. The movie category was a joke and not at all based on real movie titles. The creator of this game needs to do better research.

### 2/5 — Way too small

*2025-01-07*

fun game, but the word to be solved is so small someone like me with visual disability its so hard to see and play.  Make it so it can be seen and read

### 5/5 — Fun

*2024-10-07*

Fun.
Thanks
