Won’t open

Just downloaded the game and it won’t open. Oh well

Won’t load

Heard about it on a recent NPR podcast. Downloaded it but it won’t get past the initial screen. Will be deleting it.

Won't open!

Wot open even after deleting and reloading several times. Not worth it.

Won’t Even Open

I heard about this on Office Ladies and was excited to try it! It is downloaded on my phone but after it goes through the “dotting my i’s and crossing my t’s,” it never opens or does anything else….

Garbage.

Overly advertised for being a complete waste of 340+ mb. Don’t bother.

The app never loads

I heard about this game on a podcast I listen to and....nothing. It’s never opened. This is very disappointing.

Love it BUT

This is a 5 STAR app, no question!! I not only LOVE this game but it is quite possibly one of the BEST “word games” I have ever played & for SURE the BEST “word search” game I have encountered!! Unfortunately, I cannot play it!! 😢 It worked for quite a while on my old iPad & on the iPhone. Then, one day, it suddenly quit working all together. All I got was the first loading screen (the one that loads for a bit when you first install..then loads a little faster but still takes a few seconds when you open it) ... w/ Cute little sayings Like it is “expelling x’s” etc. I could never get it to open again! Believe me, I tried everything I know to try...which is quite a bit!! (Although, I am TOTALLY open to more suggestions if anyone has any!!) So, I figured, when I get my new iPad, at least I will be able to play it then (figuring it must be an issue with using an old version of iPad) but sadly, that was NOT the case!! I got my new iPad recently (It has been about a year ..maybe a little less ..since it has opened on any device) ... I have a newer version iPad & have not had a problem opening or installing any apps/games. This one STILL will not load!! I am VERY surprised! I thought FOR SURE if there were more issues (aside from mine) people would report them & the developers would handle it by now! I would LOVE to be able to play this game again. Tomorrow, I will see if there is a support contact spot somewhere but I figured I would mention it here (even though I do not usually write support issues in reviews. I try to write a fair review based on what I like & what I hear from others..however, seeing as I have not had a response to my question or issue anywhere else, I figured it’s worth a shot!

Won’t load

I was excited to play but it won’t load

Doesn’t work

I downloaded this game after hearing it on my podcast and I’ve deleted and redone loaded it several time and it won’t load past the loading screen.

Game never loads

Downloaded game, then wait, wait, wait and wait more. Deleted the app and downloaded again still same deal. Waste of time.

App won’t load

Never played it. Won’t load.

Problem

I seem to open this app at all and don’t know why please help me with this problem

Word fiends

Not liking it already. I can’t even open it. I’ve tried 5 times and it keeps freezing. Want my money back

😡😡😡

Won’t open I just downloaded it and I can’t get it to open it freezes on the loading screen

App will not load

Useless....the app won’t load. I heard it advertised and thought I would give it a try. It goes through the startup sequence and freezes. I tried deleting and downloading again. Nothing works. Maybe it will work for you.

Why will my game not load?

I continue to get the message to check internet connection. It is working. This has been going on for 3 days now.

Love it!!

This is a great game!! So far, the only issue I have is: EVERY single time I hit “Rematch” it says opponent left. Nor am I receiving ANY rematch requests!! It would be cool if you added a way to click your opponents name and request them as a friend, not on Facebook but in the actual game. So u can request a match w/that person whenever u want! Maybe u could even send each other gifts. Even w/lots of FB friends, that does not mean they play or want to play! Therefore,There should be a way to add people u play in the game & send each other a gift a day. I try to get people to play certain games but there are soo many games out there & everyone has different interests. It is not logical to be able to get even a few of FB friends to play all or even most of the games you play! Even if I get your kids/siblings/friends to play, they may not have or able to have FB. Other than that, I really like it!
Thanks dev team! :)

How about some updated boards

This game is fun for the word game fanatic, but the same play boards are always used so it gets boring. And you can tell people have played these boards over and over by how fast they make words. Shuffle the letters and put out some new boards already

Game Abandoned by Developer

Update 11/2018

The game has been removed from the developer’s site and the game no longer runs events which is the point of the game. Do not spend money on it. The game is dead.



It has issues. It has a lot of spelling errors like tyres (tires) and desserts (deserts because the answer is camel). It also doesn’t have a lot of boards. This is an issue in the beginning but when your bonuses with letter scores matter then it gets somewhat interesting. That being said, there are letters it wants you to upgrade that are completely unplayable. Those are Q, Z, and X if you were wondering. Either they are not on any board or in the case of Q it appears on one board in a corner surrounded by consonants. The game also does not recognize all words (ex. stealth).

Once you get higher up that is where the cheaters show up. It is obvious when the words come in so fast the game can’t keep up. It would be a slight annoyance if there was not a gambling mechanism with micro-transactions attached. How does the game combat this?

Don’t get it for IPhone X

Seems like a great little fun game if that’s how you treat it - a game. I don’t care about winning or losing so it’s not bad but if you care about anything like actually seeing the whole screen, getting your words judged/spelled right or knowing what your score is...game is worthless. Needs a block function so you can block those that write algorithms to find words before the puzzle even shows up or answer the clue so fast you don’t even get to see the question
