This free version is redundant after a short time. Buy the version and don’t use the free. ### 4/5 — Wordy Ways *2026-07-17, version 1.7.1* Fun app that makes you think. ### 3/5 — Whirly word we *2025-08-27, version 1.7.1* Really enjoyable app until you start repeating games. The amount of games is quite small unfortunately so interest wanes quite quickly. Has not had any updates in many years. ### 3/5 — Need more words *2025-08-22, version 1.7.1* Same words over and over ### 4/5 — Great but… *2025-07-12, version 1.7.1* Needs words added. Repeating same words over & over. ### 3/5 — Grammar Police *2025-07-05, version 1.7.1* Love playing ut sometimes game gets stuck ad I lok bye ### 4/5 — Love the Wirly bit. *2025-06-11, version 1.7.1* Really good game, but annoying when obscure words are used. ### 3/5 — How do you lose? *2025-05-02, version 1.7.1* Is there a timer or something? ### 3/5 — Enjoyable, but . . . *2025-01-26, version 1.7.1* This game is fun and helps build your vocabulary BUT there are far too many foreign words included. There are also a lot of obscure medical terms, which is fine, but there are quite a few words that are in different Asian languages that are simply not part of the English language and haven’t really become part of the English language yet. Also, there are a fair number of proper nouns that supposedly aren’t included, but they are included. I think better quality control would help the game be more enjoyable. ### 4/5 — I hate Whirly Word! I can't get my house work done! *2024-09-08, version 1.7.1* I ### 4/5 — Fun *2024-02-15, version 1.7.1* I love doing Whirly word and I normally love the easy access to the game. I love that it has a summary so I really hope nothing changes! ### 3/5 — V go. Icccn *2023-11-16, version 1.7.1* K. M.

Total games played around 15,000. ### 4/5 — One problem *2023-08-29, version 1.7.1* Love to check meanings.. but some simply refer to another form of the word instead of clear root meaning ### 5/5 — I’m *2023-08-18, version 1.7.1* The ### 2/5 — Fix Needed *2023-08-10, version 1.7.1* I’ve been playing this game for years and enjoy it when I’m waiting somewhere, or just have a few moments to play. I’ve always enjoyed it. Now, sadly, the scoring seems off. I guess every word within moment with no whirling and don’t get the “P”uzzle points rewarded only 50% of the time now:( I’m not interested in upgrading. I simply want the Whirly Word APP I e been happy with to be updated. Come on support. It’s been a year since you done anything. Fix what needs to be taken care of for those that enjoy this puzzle game. ### 5/5 — I’m be 3h :espyq *2023-07-04, version 1.7.1* Bi if c&:x B Brpd jUte 🛹🎣🥅🏸🏀l🥅🥊⚽️a🪀🏐. I🗒️✉️💌📧a📩🎊📃🎀🥊🤿i xx I Z76 u.

Idiot designers !! 🤬 ### 1/5 — New version is very limited *2023-09-22, version 1.7.1* I played this (free) game for several years and kept the one game going for at least 4 or 5 years; score was over 10 million. I never updated the app in the last 2 yrs since I didn’t want any problems. Then I made a mistake w/a duplicate icon and deleted the app (operator error) and had to reinstall. I lost all my scores but was OK w/what I thought was a “fresh” start. However, this new version is extremely limited. I think there are only about 100-120 different puzzles that have different 6-letter words. My old version always kept new words coming; there were repeats but infrequently. Now I can breeze through the games w/very little thought because they’re the same. No challenge left. Maybe the pay version has more new games but the free one is worthless to me now. Now I have to find a new word game. ### 1/5 — Repeats *2022-09-23, version 1.7.1* Only 10 or so puzzles that repeat over and over. So frustrating. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2022-07-06, version 1.7.1* The same six letter words come up over and over again - no challenge at all😡 ### 1/5 — Whirly Word *2021-11-03, version 1.7* Fun to play but I keep getting the same words constantly, often on the same day. It’s like I’m only offered a few hundred words to play with. A friend has been playing for years and said that rarely happens when he plays. ### 1/5 — Good at first *2021-09-23, version 1.6* After playing this game for awhile, it has begun to be very repetitive. I really enjoyed at first, but now it just keeps repeating the same words. I’ll need to find something different . ### 1/5 — Flawed *2018-11-27, version 1.6* How the heck do you add double letters? This game is crappy. ### 1/5 — Whirly Word free *2017-02-12, version 1.4.1* I choose not to upgrade to the paid game of Whirly word because of my experience of the free game- I got to a certain level over 130,000 and it all of a sudden went back to 0! The game is so slow and on my iPad it keeps kicking me out! This game has not been updated for over 6 years- disappointed ### 1/5 — Pretty poor *2015-05-14, version 1.4.1* Not very good. After somewhere around 75-100 puzzles it just starts repeating the word wheels. A 100 sounds like a lot but believe me it ain't - some of the puzzles are so easy they're over in 5 seconds. The game is limited and somewhat dated. Spend your hard-earned elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2013-09-14, version 1.4.1* Who spells 'eerie' as 'eery'? Doesn't include many words eg 'cuty' and 'tine', which confounds me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Some word missing… *2026-01-25, version 1.7.1* They consider Eta a word but not mia. They no do consider anime a word. But plenty of good hours playing this game since I was a kid. ### 5/5 — Fluff Fluff *2025-08-12, version 1.7.1* Enjoyable ### 5/5 — Million point club? *2025-06-04, version 1.7.1* Just hit a million points. This game has improved my vocabulary more than anything else. ### 5/5 — Whirly word *2025-05-30, version 1.7.1* Fun game ### 5/5 — The best word game on the market *2025-01-07, version 1.7.1* No ads, no nonsense just play. ### 5/5 — Eeeeeee *2024-11-13, version 1.7.1* Eeee ### 5/5 — Whirly Word *2024-07-09, version 1.7.1* Good fun… ### 5/5 — Wirlyworld *2024-03-26, version 1.7.1* Excellent game ### 5/5 — Great *2024-03-18, version 1.7.1* I like this game! ### 5/5 — Keeps me exercising my brain *2024-02-19, version 1.7.1* I’m an older person who has problems with cognitive decline. I use this game to keep my brain from being lazy. I have found that Whirly Word has helped me sharpen my thinking and upping my skill set. To top it off, it’s a lot of fun and I get great satisfaction when I complete a puzzle! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
