Whirly Word

Best game ever to add new or forgotten words in your vocabulary!
It is a MUST to have as a game!

Fun!

I’ve played this for years and never tired of it. No ads! Learning new words! Fun!

Classic Fun

Been playing this game for 15 years and never get tired of the puzzles. It’s classic brain work and I love it. Never feels dull.

What’s with some if these words?

Overall I like the game for a time-filler when I’m waiting around for an appt or just a quick something to fill a few minutes. But why do you have so many words that are not really used in English but you don’t have obvious words like codon? There are quite a few medical or science terms that are common terms that could/should be included

Teacher

Great game. Lots of fun. Only caveat: why some words not accepted. What's wrong with "adit" for instance?

Ann

Good game

What are you doing?

I’m noticing that more Muslim terms are working their way into these word puzzles. Are you trying to normalize Muslim terminology into our lives? I hope many other patriot read this review and delete this app just as I will be doing.

Using unfair words

This used to be a good game, played it for years and years, lately however they’ve been using what I term as unfair words. Foreign language words shouldn’t be used in an English speaking game. Gaucho is a Spanish word, that is 1 example of many times they’ve used foreign words. Step up MMGgames and do better.

They added a dictionary!

It is a challenging game, nicely designed, lots of fun to play! A great feature is the dictionary to learn new words!

Doesn’t work with iOS 26.3

Since I got 26.3 you have to end every game and start completely new. Meaning you don’t have any streaks of games where the points add up game to game. It starts over brand new every time. For as long as 26.3 has been out it’s stunning that the developers can’t figure out something so simple.

I can't stop playing! I'm not getting my work done

Used to be good

This app has always been my favorite go, but not now.
It’s using words all of a sudden that I don’t know if they’re slang or what but they’re not words that it used to allow, and there’s certainly not any words that I recognize.
It’s just not fun anymore. I will probably delete the app - I’ve had it for a number of years, but the changes are not good.

Whirly Word

You can only go up to 500,000 in score and it starts over to 0 this happened twice to me no challenge

TheShadow

I have to thoroughly agree with others that obscure foreign words are much too common. BUT my biggest gripe and this is huge, is now twice I have gotten to high scores...read 3.6 and 4.6 million only to blow out of the game. Once carrying it in my pocket. Their gone and NO way to retrieve them. This is unforgivable and needs to be changed. I would give this game NO star if I could for that reason!!!

My favorite game

I love this to point of Obsession!

Questionable dictionary

Fun game, but questionable dictionary. Evidently “kraal” is an everyday word, but “ska” is not.

just me

I would like to go to landscape so I am not holding my phone with my finger under the little speaker, however the new dictionary is great now i can see what the words mean whin i just throw letters together as a guess
also maybe versions with 7 and 8 letters

Addictive

Best challenge-without-stress around!
