Now I need use my keyboard if I want to use a a wildcard ?. Not convenient as before when you had it as selection right on the red screen. **Developer response:** Hi PamZak, I added the "?" and "*" wildcard buttons right under the search bar for easy access. Two circled buttons. No need to find the "?" thru the keyboard. ### 4/5 — Needs options for “blanks” *2026-03-28, version 4.2.0* Needs options for “blanks” ### 4/5 — MY EYES! *2025-02-28, version 4.2.0* (Dark mode please). ### 3/5 — Still see ads despite paying for no ads *2024-08-21* While this app does work, I’m frustrated at continuing to see ads. If paying to remove them isn’t a true option, then why offer it. Seems shady and dishonest. **Developer response:** Hi, this should not be happening. Please make sure to go to the Settings screen and "Restore Purchase" using the same Apple ID you used to make the purchase. I have also updated the app and added a search history, more words to the word list and polished the look of the app. Hope you try it out again :) ### 3/5 — Why??? *2024-05-13* Loved this until intrusive ads. Not good. There should be an option to buy no-ad version. PLEASE. Otherwise is very useful and my go-to when stuck. Program itself is 5 stars, with ads, not so great. **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry about the ads. The option to remove ads can be purchased on the Settings screen, accessed by tapping on the gear icon on the top right. ### 4/5 — Split View & Slide Over *2022-06-16, version 3.2.2* Your app is very helpful. It would be even better if you could add Split View and Slide Over support for iPads. ### 3/5 — Needs work for iOS 15.0.2 *2021-10-19* With the update to iOS 15.0.2, the app freezes after several sets of letters are entered & words are presented. The developer needs to find the error, so that the app doesn’t need to be restarted every few uses. **Developer response:** Hi, I published a new update adding "blanks" wildcards, a search history, added more words to the word list and also polished the look of the app. Hope you try it out again :) ### 3/5 — Choose language(s) *2021-09-20* Too many words come up that are clearly all different languages. Maybe have the ability to choose language(s) in settings? Thanks - ### 5/5 — Unscramble *2021-02-27* A good app but there needs to be a way to remove the ads **Developer response:** Hi, the option to remove ads is in the Settings screen. I also published a new update adding "blanks" wildcards, a search history, added more words to the word list and polished the look of the app. Hope you try it out again :) ### 5/5 — Great solver! *2021-02-24, version 3.2.2* This is a great solver, but wish you could make the words bigger. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-01-30, version 3.2.2* great app for working word/anagram puzzles ### 4/5 — Gaggle *2021-01-29, version 3.2.2* Why don’t Gauge or Gulag come up in the 5 letter word options and show no options whatsoever? ### 2/5 — It was good, until.... *2021-01-25* The ads they started using have a tiny little X in the top left corner of the screen that you cannot exit from. You have to close the app and when it restarts you have to retype your word again. It also offers fake words along with the real ones, which is really strange? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-07-14, version 4.1.2* Some goddamn ads you can’t get rid of. It has an x to get out but it won’t respond. The only way to get out is to turn off your phone to reboot. ### 1/5 — Word and Anagram Finder *2022-08-31, version 3.2.2* A strange and unreliable anagram solver. After testing it with a mixture of the letters forming the well-known three word phrase HUE AND CRY it came up with just about every other ridiculous made-up non-word phrase except the phrase itself! Requires a common sense update asap. ### 1/5 — Ads *2022-07-04, version 3.2.2* Some goddamn ads you can’t get rid of. It has an x to get out but it won’t respond. The only way to get out is to turn off your phone to reboot. ### 1/5 — Clive Palmer ads allowed *2022-01-21* I’m outta here. That’s zma backwards step. ### 1/5 — Too many pop-ups *2021-06-28* The app has way too many pop up ads that require you to click the “x” after waiting 5 seconds. Even after clicking “x” the app often froze on the ad or opened the ad. I also found many instances in which key words were missing from the lists provided. This app is sloppy & clearly the developers are just about making money from ads rather than quality. ### 1/5 — App not working properly *2021-01-20, version 3.2.2* Using for crossword puzzle, letters are disappearing, screen is going black for a good long time. This has been happening for almost 2 weeks. Now it’s worse. ### 1/5 — Keeps clearing when I put letters *2019-08-22* Not happy when I have to rewrite letters! ### 1/5 — No support *2019-06-06, version 2.0.1* Although there is a link for support, it is NOT supported-as in the link does not work. If you don’t want to be FRUSTRATED OUT OFYOUR MIND - SKIP THIS AP. Although by far the best Anagram AP it becomes useless the longer it is used, with so many ADS. Option in AP description to pay $2.99 to skip Ads doesn’t work. Such a shame. ### 1/5 — Anagram Finder *2018-09-16, version 2.0.1* I purchased the no ad feature for $3.17 from Apple ITunes , got athe receipt but am still getting ads! Was advised to contact you through Facebook. It can’t connect. Help please! Kathyb0505 ### 2/5 — Limited *2021-02-08, version 3.2.2* Does not allow easy searching for scrambled with wildcard. Words suggested do not work on WWF2 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is my go to unscrambler *2026-09-06* With my brain exercise apps sometimes I get stumped and need suggestions . I love this unscrambler that helps me reliably ! **Developer response:** Thank you Laurie I appreciate the kind review! Sincerely, Julio ### 5/5 — Nice app *2025-09-10, version 4.2.0* Does what it’s supposed to do ### 5/5 — Gumanji *2025-08-09, version 4.2.0* Excellent ### 5/5 — Handy tool *2024-12-06, version 4.1.2* Nicely done! It would be great to allow for “*” (0-to-n) wildcard too. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-03-26, version 4.1.1* I play a lot of word games, but this one has got to be the best I've ever had!!! ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2022-06-18* I love this app! So much fun, good for your brain, and handy when you’re waiting in line or on hold. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-06-16* Does exactly what it sets out to do. Find the search results to be quite complete. Easy to use. I would like an option where previous searches are cleared upon re-opening the app. No big deal..great app! ### 5/5 — Awesome for Wordle *2022-04-12, version 3.2.2* And so much more! This app is awesome for word lovers and games ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-06-13* This is a great app but it’s available for everything except MacBooks. Why is that?? Also there is no link anywhere to get support. That’s inexcusable. ### 5/5 — Somtimes frozen by advertising *2021-03-18* Very good app. But you get ads that will not let you exit. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
