I finish a puzzle and there’s nowhere to go from there! Am I missing something?
I understand that there needs to be ads, but the way they’re placed makes it impossible to play. Once in a while they’re not in the way and it’s playable, but it’s a rare occurrence.
At least once a week I try to open the app and it doesn’t work. Frustrating enough to delete the app and forget it
I can’t see the words to find. Clicking on a word rarely works. So frustrating to play now. Please please please bring back the old format with the red circles.
I love it! Clean, simple, and engrossing, like the newspaper version. The letters are pretty small and a bit too spaced out, which makes it kind of hard to see them. But other than that, it’s great.
I’ve played and loved this game on my pc for years. I’m so disappointed that I just can’t get it to work right. I highlight a word over and over, and it doesn’t recognize that I have. Very stressful and probably won’t keep trying.
This app does not work I like to download the puzzle and I am unable to do that anymore. I tried using the app, but it got stuck and I could not use it. I liked the old system better
No idea why they have decided to make the Monday, Wednesday and Friday puzzles only available to play on a desktop computer like a few years ago and direct you to another app that is impossible to use. Not everyone wants to be inundated with unskippable, loud, obnoxious video ads just to play one lousy puzzle that is NOT the Monday, Wednesday, Friday puzzles. I can’t believe I have to play on a computer again! Why are we going back in time here? So disappointed.

I miss my Monday-Wednesday-Friday puzzles. 😢
Wondered used to work great, but now puzzles are no longer accessible to play on the app at all, the only option is to download and print the puzzle - pointless
So may ads it is not worth it
Doesn’t work on my iPad. It used too?
This used to be the best app…now it never works
My credit card was hacked within minutes if signing up for this app
I really like WONDERWORD; however, the last couple of weeks the puzzle of the day was used 3 days in a row and can’t be cleared for other puzzles. Are there not any more puzzles?
This app is so frustrating. The app let me play many games and then all of a sudden it locked the levels and I can’t go any further!! What’s the use in downloading this app if I can’t play any more levels???
Hasn’t worked since I switched from the iPad Air to the new iPad Pro 4. I used to enjoy it. Miss it.
I love Wonderword; used to play it daily in the newspaper. I like the app, but it’s recently added advertisements—understandably—and they are huge and overwhelming. It’s much too easy to click on them because they look like they’re a change to the interface instead of an ad. I hope they will fix this; it’s extremely annoying. Then it would be 5 stars.

New iPad and icon transferred but opens to a blank screen that directs me to the App Store. I tried deleting and reinstalling without success. Bummer as I enjoy the MWF puzzles.
Thank you for all the puzzles in May. I love having one a day. Would you consider making this forever?
