So when Shockwave set up a paywall, I was happy to discover this dedicated Unolingo app. The concept is original, the user interface is simple, and I especially love that it’s free from ads or subscription fees — instead, it provides a basic set of puzzles and offers the option of buying bigger sets of puzzles “a la carte” without requiring a subscription fee. As for the game itself, it’s addictive and smart, challenging your brain to mentally fill in words that mesh together without giving any clues — and using each letter of the alphabet only once! It’s like a hybrid of Scrabble and crossword puzzles, and playing it can sharpen your skills in both types of word games. Great stuff! ### 5/5 — Part of morning puzzle routine! *2021-07-16, version 1.9.0* One or two players. As of July 2021 the first twenty (20) puzzles are free. A series of one- hundred sixty (160) puzzles is a reasonable $4.99 in cost. ### 5/5 — Great fun. *2021-04-21, version 1.9.0* Keeps the ageing brain cells working. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-02-02* A great game ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-10-05, version 1.9.0* A good word. Helps to keep my mind sharp. Good variety. Definitely worth trying. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2020-09-06, version 1.9.0* It is truly challenging! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-02-02, version 1.9.0* Some are easy, some are not. Will definitely pay for the packs once I finish the freebies. Keeps the brain working. Well done for a word game that is different. ### 5/5 — Junior *2019-09-26, version 1.9.0* Love it! ### 5/5 — Unolingo *2019-08-26* I am a big fan of this game. It is in the form of a crossword puzzle but uses logic. No verbal clues. They partially fill in each word and you complete the puzzle bot can only use each letter once. Helpful tools if you have difficulty ithout additional help. . ### 5/5 — Best word game ever! *2019-01-19* Now this is a fun game. Not too hard, not too easy, keeps you thinking, and just all around fun to play. It seems like all the word games now are just drawing lines between letters to make four and five letter words. I’m so bored with that. I never get enough of this game. And no ads interrupting every few seconds. Makes you think about word structure too. Great game for any age! ### 5/5 — Absolutely LOVE Unolingo!!! *2019-01-09, version 1.9.0* This is my favorite word game app: better than any crossword puzzle. Highly recommend it: Hope they come out with more series! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-11-12, version 1.9.0* Keeps crashing after I bought puzzle package 1. ### 1/5 — Love the game....addicting... *2020-07-12* ... but the app ate all 160 puzzles I purchased and thus my $4.99. Didn’t get to play even one game. I don’t want to buy more at the risk making purchases and then losing them. I’m sure I did something wrong but it was too easy for my $5 bucks to disappear. Also I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned that the keyboard is too close to the bottom of the screen. When I need a bottom letter I keep pulling up my control menu on the iPhone. Otherwise life is good. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Crashing *2023-10-23, version 1.9.0* Love this game, but the app has been crashing nonstop on my iPhone 15. ### 3/5 — Fun but awful UI *2022-03-17* The game is fun. You have to drag the letters to their spots instead of two taps. The bottom row of letters sits at the very very bottom of your screen so if you have an iPhone prepare to see your control center constantly. ### 3/5 — Good word game *2017-06-28* I like unolingo and play it daily. The star ratings are a pretty good indication of difficulty. In this implantation of the game dragging the letters into place makes is clumsy. It would be nice if there were a pause control for when interrupted. The number of games is quite few. In a day or two I'll have used up the games that come with it and I suspect then they will want money. ### 3/5 — Brain game *2012-05-21, version 1.2.0* A very nice & good game..awesome!!! ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable *2020-07-26, version 1.9.0* Solving most under 3 minutes, so a nice quick brain burst. Hoping they get harder through the levels with broader vocab, but still enjoyable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 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! ### 5/5 — All puzzle packs completed! *2023-01-26, version 1.9.0* I’ve just completed the very last puzzle pack of a very enjoyable daily ’brain gym’ - for many years! All I can say is that is has been a real pleasure and I’m going to miss them hugely. If there are similar games of such good quality out there, then I would love to know. Many thanks Equazi Enterprises ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging *2022-10-29* The game is addictive. The price isn’t too expensive to purchase more games. I wouldn’t have purchased it if it had been. Even though the easy levels are easier, they are still challenging. It’s cool that you can challenge yourself by racing to get a lower time or by getting more points. What would make this even better is if you could compete against friends - like a Unolingo With Friends. Also, it would be better if you could just touch the spots to place letters instead of dragging them. ### 5/5 — Great! *2022-10-26, version 1.9.0* Perfect way to wake the brain up each day. It’s part of morning routine! ### 5/5 — Great for Word-Game lovers *2022-09-03* Perfect if you need something quick to do when you’re bored! I play all of the time. Like a mix of crossword + scrabbled + Wordle ### 5/5 — More games? *2021-12-18, version 1.9.0* When are more games going to be available? I’m on last set! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
