## What is Unolingo?

If you like crosswords or word games, then you'll love Unolingo, a fun and unique new twist on a traditional crossword puzzle.  

Every Unolingo puzzle is a 10 x 10 crossword without clues and 26 empty squares that require the precise placement of each letter in the alphabet. 

What a Sudoku puzzle does using numbers, Unolingo does using each letter of the alphabet!  
 
Select from your choice of four difficulty levels and use your word knowledge, reasoning, and deduction skills to complete the puzzle.

Each puzzle is hand-crafted from a carefully curated list of common English words more likely to be heard at a party with friends than in the classroom.

This fascinating word puzzle can generally be completed in 5-15 minutes and is fun for the daily commuter, the casual puzzler, or the serious word buff.

Features:
- 20 introductory puzzles offering hours of enjoyment with additional puzzles available in-app purchase or social media sharing.
- Unique hint and audit functions to help you solve the most difficult puzzles
- Bonus puzzles accessible by sharing your scores and achievements on Facebook
- Flexible design supports casual play, collaboration with friends, or time-based competition.
- Extensive performance statistics to monitor your progress and compare with others.

### 5/5 — More!!!!

*2025-02-08*

This is one of my all time favorite word/puzzle games. I have cleared and redone all of them multiple times just trying to improve my stats. I’m still waiting for new ones, but recently everytime I try to play the app crashes as I complete a puzzle. I’m sure it’s a compatibility issue, but I beg you to fix it even if you don’t plan on adding content.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-11-12, version 1.9.0*

Keeps crashing after I bought puzzle package 1.

### 5/5 — The BEST word puzzlegme I've come across thus far

*2024-06-13*

I LOVE this app! I've been playing for nearly 10 years and still find myself coming back! Every time I run out of puzzles, I delete and redownload so I can do them all again! Its never boring, and consistently keeps my brain both exercised and entertained!! I really do wish the developer would come back and give us some new puzzles, though!

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2023-10-23, version 1.9.0*

Love this game, but the app has been crashing nonstop on my iPhone 15.

### 4/5 — it’s fun for a bit

*2023-07-12*

not enough level to play without having to pay. but it is pretty fun

### 5/5 — More puzzles please!!!

*2023-05-22*

I love this game. I love that you play it alone and that it tracks yours stats for for all 4 levels of difficulty. I really really want more new ones. I’m down to my last 27.

### 4/5 — Fun game but where is level 4?

*2023-05-04*

The game is fun. You get 20 puzzles (levels 1-3 only). You get 10 level 1 puzzles and 5 each of level 2 and 3. After that you can purchase 160 puzzles for $4.99 (assuming the level 4’s are in the purchase). 

It’s a fun game but I blew through the free 20 in a day  

Also if you have an iPhone you will see the control screen often due to having to drag the letters to the boxes instead of being able to just tap the box and then the letter you want.

### 5/5 — Unolingo

*2023-04-13*

Absolutely the best game I have played for a long time.  Challenging but fun. Will definitely recommend it to friends.

### 5/5 — My favorite word game!

*2023-04-10*

I’m amazed that this game hasn’t become more of a sensation, like Wordle. It’s fantastic- a sort of sudoku with letters!  The puzzles come in a range of difficulty, and some of the four-star ones are really challenging. I’ve purchased all the sets, and am almost out of puzzles. I hope the creators will consider making more, to the same excellent standard!

### 4/5 — Great game but update needed

*2023-02-20*

I’ve played this game for years and I love it but it’s really due for a UI update.
