This is not good game design. Also, over 20% of the solutions have repeated letters—i.e., only 4 unique letters—and that seems high to me. ### 4/5 — Things that could be fixed *2026-03-02, version 2.10* I love the game so far, I just really don’t like how I have to pay to get to the more “fun” words. I got this game because I thought I could get longer words for free (unlike the other app I got), but I still need to pay. ### 3/5 — No English? *2025-12-17, version 2.10* No option to use the English language. Just a US version with silly ways of spelling things. Other than that it’s a good game ### 3/5 — Why the hell *2025-01-17* Why the hell are Digital Circus characters enabled as words? Examples are “Pomni” and “Caine”. Do they actually know TADC? Also, you said no plurals but there are some plurals. I had to guess the correct word, and it is a plural. It’s “Dorms”. ### 4/5 — Almost great *2024-12-10, version 2.10* I like the game. But it would be so much better with a timer that allowed you to compare how fast you finished compared to other players via a leaderboard. ### 2/5 — Different words *2024-10-03, version 2.10* I used to love this game. My husband and I play and share our results. Not as much fun now that we get different words on the same day. ### 1/5 — Fun game but it’s not free *2024-06-20, version 2.10* I’ve been playing this game daily for months until recently , but have been locked out from playing unless I pay. No thanks. ### 1/5 — Not FREE *2024-05-28, version 2.10* This game CONSTANTLY asks for money! ### 1/5 — Played free for a very long time *2024-04-10, version 2.10* What’s up. Now I have to pay. $30 a year. Way to much for a game that you can get free in other apps. Don’t mind the short adds ### 3/5 — You’re so fun *2024-04-04, version 2.10* You are so fun, but I do not like that there are no levels ### 1/5 — Add and pop ups *2024-03-26, version 2.10* Been using this for just over 48 seconds and already bombed with pop ups and asking me to rate it. So here’s that rating you want so bad and so soon ### 1/5 — Used to be free *2024-03-04, version 2.10* I liked this app because it used to be a free unlimited alternative to Wordle but now they make you pay a subscription fee when it used to be free for years. Dumb way to make money, deleting for good now. ### 1/5 — App was great until.... *2024-02-29, version 2.10* They made you pay for it - and a weekly ($2.50/week) or yearly ($29/yr) fee taboot, taboot. Come on..... The only other option is a $49 lifetime subscription. No friggin way for a simple word game - its WAY over priced. So I will play it once a day and move on. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The developed is begging for money *2026-01-15, version 2.10* Used to be okay, I forgot about it and redownloaded it recently. Now, ads for premium pop up every second, you don’t get to choose the games you want, there’s an ad that forces you to have a fake conversation with the developer, and you have to click through it in order to get back to the game. Actually ridiculous ### 1/5 — Money *2025-11-17, version 2.10* I shouldn’t have to pay money to be able to play the game. It was fun but I only got to play 2 before the owner messaged me and tried to convince me to pay for it. I just wanted a fun game. ### 1/5 — u have to pay *2025-10-31, version 2.10* i played a few games at first and was happy because there weren’t ads or anything and there were different types of games to play. but after a few games it starting showing me this thing that would pop up whenever i tried to play about a 3 day free trial and then paying and stuff and it didn’t let me do anything without accepting so i deleted the app. it was too good to be true anyways i never got a single ad. ### 1/5 — Monetized *2025-07-17, version 2.10* I used to really enjoy this game. Most of these positive reviews come from before the developer got greedy. But the monetization didn’t just become expensive: the game had possibly the most obnoxious ad in it I’ve ever seen, forcing you to interact with a fake conversation with the developer in a try for—sympathy? Pity? Give this one a miss. I can’t stand monthly subscriptions for simple iOS games but this was particularly bad. ### 1/5 — Why the hell *2025-02-23, version 2.10* Why the hell are Digital Circus characters enabled as words? Examples are “Pomni” and “Caine”. Do they actually know TADC? Also, you said no plurals but there are some plurals. I had to guess the correct word, and it is a plural. It’s “Dorms”. No way they would invalid them but valid them. ### 1/5 — Not even playable *2025-01-05, version 2.10* 1 minute into having the game open, I’ve had a subscription pop up thrown in my face 5 times, asked to rate the game twice, and forced into a fake texting conversation with the creator asking me to buy the subscription. People like this sicken me. What an embarrassing, pathetic attempt at a cash grab. Uninstalling immediately. ### 1/5 — It’s a ripoff *2024-12-13, version 2.10* It’s a copy, there’s nothing else to say. Imagen to pay for a game that goes by as a "FREE" game and it’s also the exact same as the original that’s free ### 1/5 — New paywall *2024-10-18, version 2.10* Understand that everyone has to make $ but a weird chat bot that requires me to say “no” 4 times is enough for me to delete the app all together. ### 1/5 — 1 game *2024-09-19, version 2.10* Very disappointed in this game. If you don’t pay, you don’t play! No thanks and the only reason you get 1 star is because it forced me too but really 0 should be an option! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2024-08-17, version 2.10* Better games for free ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-10, version 2.10* Fun game that makes you think! ### 5/5 — Stop sending surveys!!!! *2026-05-29, version 2.10* Every damn night!!!!! please stop opening this game with a review request. If it continues I will stop playing your game I’ll switch to wordsee!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Stop sending surveys!!!! *2026-05-22, version 2.10* Every night for over a week they send a survey before I can play!! Every night I fill it in to get rid of it but if it keeps happening I won’t play anymore!!! How many times can I answer the same way!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Exactly as advertised *2026-01-10, version 2.10* This game is exactly as advertised and with no ads, which is so unusual for most apps. It is simple and fun, with nice options for variation. ### 5/5 — PuzzWord *2025-11-08, version 2.10* I love PuzzWord ### 5/5 — Ads! *2025-02-14, version 2.10* It was great until it started popping up ads and limiting play. Deleting. ### 5/5 — No longer free *2024-12-06, version 2.10* It now just crashes if I try to play without subscribing. Oh well, if you can afford the subscription it is a nice app. ### 5/5 — The go to puzzle *2024-02-12, version 2.10* Your never bored playing PuZZ/Word ### 5/5 — Like it but… *2023-12-25, version 2.10* You can’t even play you have to pay what if people don’t want to pay.but ver all it is a good game ### 5/5 — Me! *2023-10-11, version 2.10* I love It! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
