Very cute though! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-02-12, version 1.04* I play this everyday! I love how the little cat reacts to your play. ### 4/5 — Cats and words...what could be better? *2017-02-11, version 1.04* I'd like to be able to earn coins some other way than watching ads, though. ### 4/5 — Pretty cute *2017-02-11, version 1.04* It's a cute game, gotta do some quick thinking not all that bad. Passes the time so it does its job :) ### 5/5 — Best *2017-02-09, version 1.04* It helps me with making the time go by if I'm bored ### 4/5 — Easy words,easy game *2017-02-09, version 1.04* This is a quick fun game, as long as you can find the easy words. There isn't much time to make longer words. The game also recognizes some odd spellings. But it is cute. ### 5/5 — I love WORDS and I love CATS *2017-02-08, version 1.04* What could be better? A great game with two great things in it is awesome! ### 5/5 — I do NOT agree with the others *2017-02-08, version 1.04* Honestly, this is a great game! Others say that it's boring and they need to change it.... BUT PLEASE DO NOT, one review said that they need to change a million things but the things she said to change is just going to make it a regular game thats boring... and I like this game because it's not regular. So PLEASE I'm begging you, do NOT change this game in the next update.. otherwise I'll probably just delete it and look for another game to play like usual 😐 thank you for reading 😊 ### 5/5 — Good For Language Practice *2017-02-08, version 1.04* I like the option of playing in multiple languages. I alternate between the English and Spanish versions, though I wish I could do more. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-02-08, version 1.04* Super fun but seriously you should have some way to interact with your little companion (cats) ### 5/5 — Pretty Addicting *2017-02-07, version 1.04* A very nice game, I feel like it's suitable for all ages. It's very simple and easy to use and fun to play. Basically the point of the game is to just build words and meet your objective points. Each letter is worth a certain number of points like in Scrabble, and you try to get as many words and objectives as you can before time runs out. It might seem confusing at first, and it might be frustrating for some, but overall it's very fun for me and I like it a lot and how simple it is. Also, cats. Need I say more? ### 4/5 — Amazing but...... *2017-02-07, version 1.04* Amazing app so addictive but can there be a faster way to get coins Jidda annoying ### 5/5 — Very bad game *2017-02-07, version 1.04* I loved the game but also never played it. NSR? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Pointless *2017-02-08, version 1.04* I deleted this gam almost as soon as I downloaded it and yet it says "practice over 16 languages!" There's no point in doing that unless we know the language! P.S. So cute!😋 ### 2/5 — Boring *2017-02-06, version 1.04* You get 500 coins free in 3 minutes of play and can buy your first cat. After that every paw is worth 1 point. The game difficulty ramps up to impossible after 11 points as 10-30 seconds isn't enough time to view the whole board and draw a word from memory. Unless you are a walking dictionary you will average about 6-14 paws a game. By the time you even got 4 cats trump will have served his term. ### 2/5 — Just eh *2017-02-04, version 1.04* The game doesn't know enough word to be fully enjoyable. The timer is too short to get acclimated to a new set of letters every time and the reward of a new cat is too far away for it to even be that rewarding. It will also only accept certain words that it deems good enough to move onto the next round. Just not worth the time. ### 2/5 — A Little Disappointing *2017-02-04, version 1.04* I was so excited when i saw this game, but i feel like it could be a lot better. I think having different types of word games would make it much more fun, things like boggle and anagrams. It would be cool if there was more ways to get bonus points and coins (triple world/letter, double coin boost etc) as you progress through a game. Power ups might be a good thing to add to the shop. Its also a bit disappointing that you can only get cats by paying 500 coins. I think itd be nice if each cat were a certain amount of coin, or if you could get cats by completing missions! Like when you reach 200 in your high score then you get a special cat, or if you spell the word "kitty" you get a cat. Some missions could be even mysteries that you must figure out yourself. And it is disappointing that your cat doesnt really have a purpose, it just stands there. I think it would be so awesome if they could all be together in a little room and you can buy them things (toys, hats, etc) and decorate your room and maybe expand it too. And you could choose one cat to be your assistant in the word games! Like, they could give you hints for coins and stuff. Anyways, if this game was a variety of fun word games combined with taking care of cute cats, my dreams will come true. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2017-02-01, version 1.04* This is a really cute game but why do we have to type certain words in order to get the required points. It's so stupid. Why can we just find words without the letters being marked with numbers and having it say 'invalid word' or 'not enough points'? So dumb. ### 4/5 — I LOVE IT *2023-04-05* I really like this game but I wish there could be more time but the entire point is to create a word with the letters but overall that it’s a really good game I love you word cat :0 🌸💗🪷 ### 4/5 — I like it *2017-10-07, version 1.04* I like it but I wish certain characters had like abilities and stuff ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-08-26, version 1.04* Could offer more complex/bonus additions to keep things interesting but overall fun! ### 4/5 — Great app! *2017-05-09, version 1.04* This is a great app with many different possibilities. It is so much fun for people of all ages. The only thing is that the cats are a but expensive. Possibly lowering the price/coin number would encourage more people to want to get as many cats as possible. Thanks!!! ### 4/5 — Words and cats?! YES *2017-03-06, version 1.04* I do love this game very much however, I don't like that you have to get cats from a random pick. I wish you could just buy the specific kitty you'd like with the coins you have but other than that, this game is AWESOME! I love word games and cats. The way those two are incorporated in this game is just perfect. The fact that the timer and challenge goes up is a very good way to build your vocabulary and ability to think on your toes. This is an all together great game and though I wish you could buy specific kitties, surprises are also fun and keep the focus off of instant gratification. This is a very productive time waster in my opinion. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-08-26, version 1.5* I love cats and I’m trying to get better at spelling! ### 5/5 — Cats *2021-02-01, version 1.5* I love cats. I love anything to do with cats. This is a fun game and I play way too much. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2017-09-24, version 1.5* Fun word game! Absolutely no reason you need to pay in game for anything. You get enough points playing and watching ads to get new cats. The cats are adorable! ### 5/5 — Word Cats *2017-03-24, version 1.04* Very addicting game that makes you think of words to accumulate in a matter of time! :) ### 5/5 — Cute and charming *2017-03-22, version 1.04* A cute twist on a classic game. There's not a lot extraordinarily unique about it, but for those who like these kinds of word games and love cats, it's perfect and simple! ### 5/5 — Very fun *2017-03-20, version 1.04* I like how you can win cats for every 500 points, but you can't choose the one you want. It's very stimulating and gratifying to play. I also really like the cats and their expressions. Meow ### 5/5 — Word cats *2017-03-07, version 1.04* This game is awesome. It is not only fun but also educational. ### 5/5 — So cute. So fun 😍 *2017-02-21, version 1.04* It's literally just so adorable and such a fun game. I'm addicted ### 5/5 — Addictive *2017-02-19, version 1.04* It's addicting since you strive to collect the cool assortments of cats ### 5/5 — 10/10 would play again *2017-02-13, version 1.04* Cool game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
