It's been several "tomorrow's" but still no more puzzles. But it was fun while it lasted. I guess I have to delete the game and start over. ### 2/5 — Irrelevant pictures... *2015-08-03, version 2.2* Game was fun until the pictures start making no sense with the word that was trying to be guessed. I even had to download a "cheats" app just because the pictures were so irrelevant. ### 2/5 — Fun but... *2015-05-14, version 2.2* The pictures need to be more consistent within each 4 square. Some are so disconnected that they make no sense in being able to solve the puzzle. ### 2/5 — Fun but.... *2015-04-08, version 2.2* This is a neat game. However there are problems. One of the worst I encountered was the loss of over 200 coins (needed to get hints) and no idea where they went or why. You have to pay for the coins so this is not a minor issue. Additionally, the game frequently crashes. They really need to work on this game. ### 4/5 — Great game *2015-04-07, version 2.2* This game is great, it challenging, fun and makes you think. I just started and I'm sure the game will get harder as I move on. ### 3/5 — Okay *2015-03-01, version 2.2* Its levels are rather easy but there are a few repeating levels (as in, there are a few questions that have come up twice). ### 4/5 — Fun *2015-01-10, version 2.1* This is a fun game. Nothing more special than the other games like this, but worth trying out. ### 4/5 — Mental Floss *2014-12-23, version 2.1* This game is mostly easy breezy fun and sometimes a challenge. It is a good bit of mental floss for the average person. Stay frosty, my friends. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2014-10-04, version 2.1* Great ### 3/5 — Good game *2014-08-19, version 2.1* This game makes you think! ### 5/5 — Challenging *2014-07-10, version 2.1* Fun. Challenging ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — They kept my money *2019-02-19, version 2.4* I bought points & when i came back online, the point are gone. THREE TIMES. Unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2016-01-13, version 2.2* I agreed to sign up for a free credit report to receive 850 coins. They were never deposited into my account. Contacted app admin. They said to contact the company providing the incentive. Did that. Company sad they can't help me. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Noisy *2015-08-10, version 2.2* I can't stand to play with that tap tap tap.. Did like at first but now so long.. ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads *2014-11-08, version 2.1* I understand you want to make money, but the ads have become ridiculous. Used to be fun and interesting, but an ad after 2 words? Give me a break - deleted it from my iPad. ### 1/5 — I won't stand for this *2014-10-26, version 2.1* You have to fix this how can I beat a levle if the app won't let me spell it right no matter what ### 1/5 — What a gyp! *2014-10-24, version 2.1* I'm usually pretty good at this but if you get stuck you essentially have to buy another app to get coins to get a clue. Forget this. It was entertaining for a while and then ------. ### 1/5 — Don't download *2014-07-17, version 2.1* This game is a waste of,time and not worth spending money on for "hints" ### 1/5 — Annoying pop up ads *2014-06-21, version 2.1* Hadn't played this app for a while, went back into it today and I couldn't get rid of the pop up ads which prevented me from playing the game, so I'm writing this review before deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Ruined by avalanche of ads! *2014-06-03, version 2.1* This game used to be so fun and now they have ruined it with an avalanche of ads almost very other screen. This is especially aggravating when half of them are videos it forces you to wait through. I understand a few ads, but you should keep the player's experience in mind. Greedy. ### 1/5 — Deleted it *2014-04-03, version 2.1* Wouldn't work correctly ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — works on my Mac *2023-06-21, version 2.4* I have a Mac Book, and the app seems to work fine! ### 5/5 — S&ALANZ *2019-03-09, version 2.4* Just getting started good so far. Gets you 🤔 ### 5/5 — Fun game *2017-12-31, version 2.3* This is a fun game to play when you’re bored and need something fun to play!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-08-15, version 2.3* My granddaughter got me started! Help I can't stop lol ### 5/5 — Word game *2017-06-24, version 2.3* Fun game.

What a fun way to spend time together. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2014-11-24, version 2.1* What a fun game. I don't play many games but this one varies from super easy to super hard and I really like that! ### 5/5 — ❤️ I love this game! *2014-10-22, version 2.1* Love this game! I could play this game for hours. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
