## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Nice try, but not up to par with classic bookworm

*2026-04-21, version 2.1.7*

Totally disappointed, it does not even have simple words like “sly”, “keen”, etc. The worst part is the control, I was trying to form an 8 letter word, “monsters”, by the time my finger slide M-O-N, it submitted the “mon”, so I lost my 8 letter word.

### 2/5 — JUST ADS little play

*2026-02-11, version 2.1.5*

Way too many ADs and way to much money to go Ad free otherwise it’s a great nod to  my all time favorite game Book Worm

### 2/5 — Viel zu viele Konsonanten

*2025-08-13, version 2.1*

An sich schönes Spiel, allerdings sind meistens viel zu viele Konsonaten, vor allem seltene, wie V, X, Y, J oder Qu auf dem Spielfeld, was die Suche sehr erschwert. Dazu kommt, dass viele Wörter nicht anerkannt werden, (z.B Fund, Ode, Iden, oder allgemein Pluralwörter), was bei der ohnehin schweren Suche sehr frustrierend ist. Schade.

### 3/5 — Decent, With Problems

*2026-07-07, version 2.1.8*

It’s a decent replacement for people who liked Bookworm, but it doesn’t recognize some basic words. It could use a complete update using a dictionary.

### 3/5 — Restart

*2026-01-09, version 2.1.4*

In order to start a new game, I have to delete and reinstall the app

### 3/5 — Too many Z and X hot tiles

*2025-11-14, version 2.1.2*

Honestly this game is a decent replacement for bookworm but it gives flaming Z and X tiles WAY too often, making it very difficult to get past level 6. I’ve only ever scored 7 thousand something. Sometimes you get a flaming z or x in level two and never get any words around it. Pretty frustrating and makes the game alot less enjoyable

### 3/5 — Program is odd

*2025-10-19, version 2.1.1*

There are way too many V’s dropping down, it is impossible to make longer words, unlike Bookworm.

### 3/5 — ונסה

*2022-11-08, version 1.1*

אחלה משחק, אבל, לפעמים זה נתקע ואז אי אפשר להשלים מילה עם אות אדומה, ישנן מלא מילים לגיטימיות בשפה העברית שהמשחק לא מזהה, מילים בזכר כן מילים בלשון נקבה לא… ועוד ועוד בבקשה תתקנו כי זה מוריד.

### 4/5 — Ok

*2026-05-21, version 2.1.8*

Das Spiel ist eigentlich sehr schön, aber viele Worte, die es auch gibt, nimmt er nicht an. Schade…

### 4/5 — Great relaxing game

*2026-02-27, version 2.1.5*

Takes me back to Popcap’s Bookworm. Very well done. It would be good to know what dictionary it uses as it doesn’t accept some words that are absolutely in all dictionaries.

### 5/5 — Just like the old bookworm game

*2026-07-22, version 2.1.8*

I love it!

### 5/5 — Great Bookworm alternative

*2025-09-26, version 2.1*

I loved playing bookworm as a kid. This game is the closest thing that I could find for iOS and its actually very decent 👍🏻

### 5/5 — An alternate version of Bookworm Deluxe for Android!

*2025-08-10, version 2.1*

Love this game! Nice gameplay, sound and visuals.
