There are major glitches in this game that continue to happen. I just opened it today knowing I was into a 5-letter streak of 65 and it is showing me a streak of 42. I have lost over 20 wins. It also can open with your penultimate move still there though you have already won the level, thus giving you a chance to re-win the same level again. Needs a deep dive into the coding. Plus you should be able to close the game without losing your progress. I love a good word puzzle and this is it! With the many different game scenarios and levels of play I’m never bored. It challenges you to remember and apply rules of spelling with logic. I also love that there’s a dictionary to give you the meaning of the word. Finally, when I ran across a ‘glitch’, I emailed the app developer and he’s already working on it. Thanks, Jake! ### 5/5 — Fabulous and challenging! *2023-08-21* I love a good word puzzle and this is it! With the many different game scenarios and levels of play I’m never bored. It challenges you to remember and apply rules of spelling with logic. I also love that there’s a dictionary to give you the meaning of the word. Finally, when I ran across a ‘glitch’, I emailed the app developer and he’s already working on it. Thanks, Jake! ### 3/5 — Hint *2022-11-17, version 2.1.3* A hint would be nice. Maybe in the form of a riddle. ### 5/5 — Fabulous and challenging! *2022-10-02, version 2.1.0* I love a good word puzzle and this is it! With the many different game scenarios and levels of play I’m never bored. It challenges you to remember and apply rules of spelling with logic. I also love that there’s a dictionary to give you the meaning of the word. Finally, when I ran across a ‘glitch’, I emailed the app developer and he’s already working on it. Thanks, Jake! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-09-24, version 2.0.8* I downloaded this back when Wordle was surging in popularity, hoping to scratch that itch outside of just the daily puzzles Wordle offers - I don’t even use Wordle now, this app is my go-to! I’m currently trying to catch up on the weekly puzzles, but even when I’m cruising through a bunch of puzzles at once, I’m never at risk of running out of new ones to try. Love that there’s so much here to go through, real boredom killer! ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2022-08-22, version 2.0.7* Nice to have Wordle clone. Well made and customizable. Love the different theme customizations too! ### 3/5 — Takes a few minutes before it works *2022-08-09, version 2.0.6* Seemed dead at first but finally started working after about 10 tries. I like it now that it’s working. ### 3/5 — Started well but stopped working *2022-08-08, version 2.0.6* Was good at first, but after I lost my first streak, it just stopped counting and streak counter stuck at zero now whether I get the word or not. Disappointing ### 3/5 — Like the game, but streak stops at 10 *2022-07-29, version 2.0.5* Title says it all. ### 5/5 — Finally a well made wordle clone! *2022-07-29, version 2.0.5* Every other wordle type game I see is half-baked, but this one seems to have developers that are actually trying to make a good app. I absolutely love the personalization by the way. ## Frequently asked questions about Word Game Hero ### What is Word Game Hero?
