There is an add anytime you leave the level even if only for a second; and they are not short ads either. ### 4/5 — It’s ok *2024-03-05, version 1.7.5* This game gets more and more challenging, and is fun, and free. The only thing that I hate the most about it, is how much advertisements it has! Never ending, and the game can be a little frustrating. I would highly recommend wordscapes, which bumps up to more challenging words, and also let’s you have fun with it, without sooo much advertisements. Otherwise this game is sometimes fun if you are the type to watch advertisements and don’t care about the words for a word game ### 4/5 — Think outside the box and don’t stress *2023-11-18, version 1.6.8* What should be tough is easy and vice versa! ### 2/5 — Game does not recognize common words and uses acronyms, costs me score points and drives me crazy! *2023-09-11, version 1.6.6* If you have even a moderate vocabulary this game will drive you crazy! Common easy words like ‘cot’ and ‘pore’ are not recognized as a word so you’ll lose ‘combo’ points when you try to use them. Less common words such as ‘shoat’ (baby hog) aren’t considered a word either. I’ve lost points every level because there’s at least one mistake in every puzzle. There are not supposed to be acronyms in puzzles but the developers use them, such as DOS (disk operating system). It’s very obvious after a few levels that developers do not have even a basic command of the English language. I don’t care where creators come from, but for goodness sake, get a dictionary! ### 3/5 — Collected points. *2023-01-29, version 1.6.5* Can’t figure out how to retrieve the collected points to gain a letter. Love the rest of the game. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2022-12-27, version 1.6.5* I thought this app was a square word game ### 4/5 — My opinion *2022-12-19, version 1.6.5* I love the game I don’t like all of the ads to many to often and can’t remove even when the x appears ### 3/5 — I am out. *2022-12-14, version 1.6.5* No way to terminate game when stuck. Will delete it. ### 3/5 — Good but… *2022-11-21, version 1.6.5* This game is a lot of fun but also frustrating. The reason is because there are endless words that are not included. You can choose some of the most common words and they don’t exist. That makes it very frustrating. ### 2/5 — Freeze *2022-11-21, version 1.6.5* Game freezes, many English words are not accepted as bonus words, you cant backtrack your swipe ### 1/5 — proper words *2022-11-20, version 1.6.5* Try using words that are normal usage ### 1/5 — Not the game advertised *2022-11-13, version 1.6.5* I requested a game being advertised where there are a page of of boxes with four letters in them. According to what I saw on the screen, I had to get as many of the boxes of scrambled letters to make words as fast as possible. All I got was another work maker set up in crossword style. Nits to this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Shut *2024-10-04, version 1.7.6* To many adverts !!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Review *2024-02-26, version 1.7.5* Spend more time with adds rather than playing the game!! ### 1/5 — The worst *2024-02-22, version 1.7.4* You cannot get a free letter after playing for weeks. Made up words that are not in any dictionary. What a fraud. ### 1/5 — Ad free didn’t work *2022-12-19, version 1.6.5* I paid to be ad free. Was charged and doesn’t show in the game that I paid for that! ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2022-12-18, version 1.6.5* For Level 331, found 55 extra words. That’s the record, 20 to 40 extras are often. ### 1/5 — Too much confusing instructions. Simplify Simplify Simplify *2022-12-17, version 1.6.5* See title ### 1/5 — Frustrating ads *2022-12-02, version 1.6.5* Annoying ads, not easily to get through ### 1/5 — Don’t pay to remove adds *2022-11-27, version 1.6.5* It doesn’t work. I paid $1.99 to remove annoying adds. Payment confirmed. Adds still play. Guess what, next add is a Remove Adds offer for $5.99. Annoyed and disappointed. ### 1/5 — Not what advertised *2022-11-26, version 1.6.5* This game is not at all what it shows in the ads. It’s just a wordscapes rip off. Also if you want to turn off ads, just close the app, turn on airplane mode, and then open the app again. This works with all games that show too many ads since ads need wifi to play ### 1/5 — erasing *2022-11-25, version 1.6.5* It’s a crossword puzzle it doesn’t let you do what it advertises to name the four letter names in the boxes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Word Crossy - Brain Game *2025-12-31, version 2.2.0* Awesome game 😊 ### 5/5 — Smart fun *2025-11-17, version 2.0.1* Yep.
