Activate your brain as you quickly search the stationary letter tiles to spell words by connecting letters in any direction including diagonal.  The same letter tile can only be used once per word, but you can change directions as you drag to connect any direct neighbors of the tile you are currently touching.  

Keep your reflexes sharp and your brain alert as the letters drop.  Drag tiles as they drop to avoid tall letter stacks and to find a better position to spell words you have found in your search.  When a letter drops on top of a stack that is at the top of the puzzle board, your game is over.

Challenge your brain, challenge your reflexes, challenge your friends.

Word Falls, where words fall into place...sometimes.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable

*2023-12-16, version 2.1.1*

I love this game, but using the rewards you get when you spend are not at all accessible.  I have tons of rewards but no way to use them…. Help files not clear, not helpful.

### 5/5 — Game freezes up

*2022-12-03, version 2.1.1*

This game has been fun until it has been freezes up or won’t start at all.

### 5/5 — Review

*2022-10-10, version 2.1.1*

I enjoyed the previous version better

There is one ad that you can’t get rid of.  You can’t play the game because the ad just stays there for several day.

### 2/5 — Too hard

*2022-05-23, version 2.1.1*

Was really enjoying this game, started out as a good game, but gets to Unwinnable levels. I have probably played this level about 50 times, the letters come down too slow  to earn enough points to win the level and there’s nothing you can press to speed up the letters, you can freeze them but not speed them up. Not good. It’s very disappointing as I really love the game. Like others Will have to delete it due to the unwinnable levels…

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2022-04-14, version 2.1.1*

Love the concept but the different obstacles at every level is confusing. Also, not sure if I’m at the end of the game but after 50 levels you can’t go any further? There are no directions or instructions to help.

### 2/5 — Freezes upon start

*2022-01-09, version 2.1.1*

It takes four tries for this app to open. I love the game but it’s frustrating

### 3/5 — Shutting down

*2021-12-20, version 2.1.1*

When I try accessing the game it closes completely

### 1/5 — Fine when it works

*2021-12-05, version 2.1.1*

Enjoyable when I can play it. Have been playing for a year now and it always crashed. At least was semi playable until recently, now doesn’t even open. App and Apple support gave no solution. Not worth investing 👎🏻

### 1/5 — I loved it when it opened

*2021-10-05, version 2.1.1*

I bought this game and enjoyed it very much. Phone update and app update…now it doesn’t open at all. I have to wait a few seconds thinking it will open but it disappears and I’m back to Home Screen. I’d sure like my money back or tell me how to fix this issue.

### 2/5 — No way to keep playing

*2021-07-31, version 2.1.1*

The time allowed to play is too short. Why can’t we watch an ad like on Words With Friends & keep playing when we have time?
The time it takes to get more stars is too long. Plus, we should be able to save up more than 15!
