It’s frustrating. ### 4/5 — Good for the Brain *2019-09-28, version 1.7* Always like to challenge the brain. I can feel my brain working when doing the puzzles. Thanks ### 4/5 — Good *2019-08-01, version 1.7* Too many adverts. Only up to level 64. Too easy so far. Just playing to see if it gets harder. ### 4/5 — Great game for both kids and adults. Only downside is too many ads *2019-06-19, version 1.7* Great game for both kids and adults. Only downside is too many ads ### 3/5 — Decent *2019-05-30, version 1.7* Not a bad game. Gets tiresome quickly. But a fun game nonetheless. ### 4/5 — Must be good for brain function *2019-05-04, version 1.7* It’s Addictive! ### 4/5 — Good game *2019-04-20, version 1.7* Keeps the mind active for old folks. ### 4/5 — Confused *2019-04-16, version 1.7* They appear to use every day words, then throw in words I’ve never heard of before ### 4/5 — Great game *2019-03-07, version 1.7* Great game ### 5/5 — Fast brain awakening *2019-02-26, version 1.7* Played fast, the beginning easy levels become harder as you go along. Would be nicer if it had a timer feature. ### 4/5 — Fun game but too many ads *2019-02-07, version 1.7* I enjoy playing this game but wish it didn’t have so many ad breaks! ### 5/5 — Fun *2019-02-06, version 1.7* Challenging and fun ### 5/5 — Word game *2019-02-03, version 1.7* A very good game for killing the odd hour or so ### 4/5 — Could go more quickly *2019-01-15, version 1.7* Only mildly amusing because it takes too long to get up to a decent hard level ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Level 673 *2018-10-27, version 1.7* 7 letter word, starting “E” what is it??? It’s frustrating and ready to slit my wrist! ### 1/5 — Too easy *2018-02-28, version 1.5* Way to easy and I quickly got bored. ### 1/5 — Review *2018-02-20, version 1.4* DO NOT update the game the new update is absolutely dumb I loved this game before the update and the new one is simply ridiculous. The words you put in are no longer in alphabetical order and a few other things make it harder. ### 1/5 — Same game different name generic *2018-02-14, version 1.3* Won’t let you move on from reviews unless you add more than two stars. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-02-13, version 1.2* As the levels get harder. They start to use words that do not really exist. Not in any dictionary so you are forced to use hints to work it out. I am about to delete this app. I think those who gave reviews must have done so before they played for a while. There is no option to go back levels to pick up hints so you can progress with harder levels so you can get stuck unless you by hints. Rubbish game. ### 1/5 — Crap!! *2018-02-02, version 1.0* The Ad is incorrect and a lie.. and the adverts within the app covert most of the letters .. this is crap game with crap display. ### 1/5 — Boring *2018-01-30, version 1.0* Too many ads and as noted by another reviewer the game is only a few blocks. Frustrated by ads after about 20 games and 10 ads. Dumping after 30 minutes of play! ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2018-01-29, version 1.0* The ad showed a much more complex game. This one is boringly easy. I kept waiting for it to get harder/more interesting and it isn’t happening. Common words aren’t accepted and don’t get bonus points. Will be deleting it. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2023-04-25, version 1.9* If there weren’t so many ads, this game would be fun. ### 2/5 — Great I lower levels but..... *2020-03-17, version 1.7* Upper levels (550+) are no longer fun due to the words being absolutely bizarre and strangely specific. When normal words fit and are not accepted instead of truly abstract words, the game goes from fun to a constant exercise in frustration. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super fun game! *2026-07-04, version 1.9* This game is so much fun!

Can really reach a high level if you keep on . Brill for kids as well ### 5/5 — Too much *2020-07-28, version 1.7* I love this but I agree to much advertising! ### 5/5 — Good game *2019-09-12, version 1.7* Good game enjoy playing it ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-04-20, version 1.7* Great game ### 5/5 — Too many distractions *2019-03-15, version 1.7* Too many ads too often.
