Often when I get a reward, the ad will crash and reward gets lost, having to restart the app. The app needs some serious cleaning up. ### 3/5 — Adds *2026-08-23, version 2617.1.1* It’s a really good game, I love it but it has SO MANY adds it’s honestly frustrating. Every single time you pass a new level it has an add… ### 2/5 — This game has changed, for the worse *2026-08-23, version 2617.1.1* I used to play this game every single day for years. It was challenging and fun, and I loved the simplicity of it. Since the new update, I cannot stand it. I have to click through so much garbage and waste my time trying to fight through the click bait of the game trying to sell me something. I’m sure there are plenty of word games like this out there that haven’t turned to trash that I will be downloading. ### 2/5 — Changes *2026-08-21, version 2617.1.1* I don’t like how so many games are making witchcraft normal. I just want to play a game- good grief! ### 5/5 — Addictive game I love it *2026-08-16, version 2617.1.0* I love this game you can play without spending money ### 1/5 — Crosswords *2026-08-15, version 2617.0.0* If I wanted to play a crossword game, I would. I don’t like the new crossword game. Get rid of that, please. And I swear y’all make up some of these words. ### 1/5 — No *2026-08-15, version 2617.0.0* FB ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-14, version 2617.0.0* One of the best games I’ve played I can spend hours playing it lol ### 4/5 — New changes not fun *2026-08-14, version 2617.0.0* If I wanted to play crosswords I would get a crossword app. Also, don't like the change from spinner to fortune cookies. Cost more and too many cards. Shouldn't have any cards. Game is starting to slide downhill with changes ### 5/5 — Great new update *2026-08-13, version 2617.0.0* Love the new “double letters” that’s been added👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ads are ruining this game *2026-08-29, version 2617.2.0* The recent ads do not even have a X to click out of the ad. Even waiting for the 30 seconds countdown doesn’t help. The only solution is to close the game, and restart. This game has been ruined for me, and I’ve been playing it for years. Update 17/08/2026 - it seems that since you let UNITY organise the ads on this game, you have given up providing an entertaining and challenging game experience, reducing your users to be required to click the ‘X’ to reject the ad or suggested game, multiple times (up to six times so far) just to be able to continue with the game they have chosen to play. Do you only see players as clickbait? One other thing, the game never crashed before you started using UNITY ADS. Update again - to avoid the wait for the ads to play and click the “X” five or six times every time >>> it’s quicker to close the game reopen it, and continue the game. How long before you make this excellent game unplayable??! ### 1/5 — Annoying Cards *2026-08-28, version 2617.2.0* What are these annoying cards for? Too many clicks to get nothing. Please remove them immediately. Seriously thinking about deleting this game which will be a shame as I do genuinely enjoy playing. ### 1/5 — Too much. Deleted. *2026-08-24, version 2617.1.1* The game itself is fun to play, but every time I open it; each time there is more and more click thru bonuses; rewards and badges and offers for in app purchases that are just annoying as hell. It takes so long to get thru (and many of them you can’t just close out - you HAVE to claim them - it ruins any hope or excitement i had for playing another round. Think I’ll just have to delete it soon ### 1/5 — This game made me kill my self *2026-08-24, version 2617.1.1* I hate this game it is not dyslexic friendly I am going to hurt myself and others ### 1/5 — Not a fan of the new formats *2026-08-22, version 2617.1.1* Can we just have our old version back ### 1/5 — ads are ruining this game *2026-08-19, version 2617.1.1* The recent ads do not even have a X to click out of the ad. Even waiting for the 30 seconds countdown doesn’t help. The only solution is to close the game, and restart. This game has been ruined for me, and I’ve been playing it for years.

And I completely recognise the importance of that. But, this has gone too far in my view. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-08-17, version 2617.1.0* Coins collected mean nothing , memory games when you match correctly still takes your turn away . It’s a game where there’s little reward for achievement . Money is the only way to get ahead . ### 1/5 — Why ruin a good thing? *2026-08-17, version 2617.1.0* I’ve played this game for years, and it has gotten completely ruined with cheap gimmicks, flashy pop ups, constant challenges and rewards in the last few months. It seems like the game got sold to one of these companies that pump out games. it used to be a calming puzzle game without ads and now it’s a shock to the system with cheap dopamine. It’s gross to have a game I’ve loved and recommended to therapy clients for years become just more brain slop. It’s the last thing we need. Just so exhausted by losing one of the last good games I could recommend that didn’t cause more phone addiction. ### 1/5 — I paid for no ads, so why am I forced to watch ads now? *2026-08-16, version 2617.1.0* Since the latest update I am being forced to watch ads, when I have paid for no ads. Between all of the unnecessary changes and now this, a once favorite game is about to be deleted. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game😀 *2026-08-29, version 2617.2.0* I loves this game you will get more. ### 5/5 — Good stress reliever *2026-08-29, version 2617.2.0* I play this game when I am overwhelmed and need to focus my energy on something. ### 5/5 — Word Cookies review *2026-08-26, version 2617.1.1* Very good game!
