### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-08-15, version 1.9*

It’s thoroughly annoying that you don’t get to see the word if you can’t come up with the answer yourself. ….an essential for satisfaction.

### 3/5 — Plurals

*2026-07-03, version 1.9*

Using plurals expands the number of words that can be made, but the player is just really making 4 letter words with an s.

### 5/5 — Better than Wordl

*2026-06-20, version 1.9*

Because you can play it as many times as you want

### 1/5 — Every game is an ad for another game

*2026-05-20, version 1.9*

I don’t care what game I’m downloading. It’s past the time, they always stop me in the middle of the game and try to get me to download yet another game.

I must’ve had 20 different game applications on my phone and just deleted all of them because I was so sick and tired of having to download all these different applications and then be able to upgrade do not receive more ads.

They all suck!

### 4/5 — Brain training

*2026-05-07, version 1.9*

Helps you rejuvenate your vocabulary 
Enter & back buttons should be reversed
Annoyingly occasionally has Roman numerals, how is one supposed to guess those-pointless!

### 5/5 — Great game, little ads that are not intrusive

*2026-05-05, version 1.9*

Great game with very little ads and removal option for just $1.  Best one I've found so far.  One thing I would recommend or ask if I'm nit-picking would be a help or hint button for the puzzle but love this game. Ty!

### 5/5 — It ok

*2026-04-07, version 1.9*

It really fun no adds but no hints

### 3/5 — Keyboard problem.

*2026-03-14, version 1.9*

The keyboard is too small, so it's very tiring!

### 4/5 — Brain training

*2026-02-23, version 1.9*

Helps you rejuvenate your vocabulary 
Enter & back buttons should be reversed

### 1/5 — You Lost!

*2026-01-07, version 1.9*

This is so mean!!
The world is mean; games should not be!
How about: try again
Or
Nice try
Or
If this doesn’t change I’m deleting it.
