### 2/5 — Good game

*2025-02-01, version 1.0.139*

Love this game. Only issue is you have to wait a while for new puzzles.

### 4/5 — Never stop learning!!

*2024-07-11, version 1.0.139*

Brilliant, could be an original game show!

### 3/5 — Word genius

*2024-05-31, version 1.0.139*

Would like more games

### 2/5 — Word genius

*2024-01-28, version 1.0.139*

The coin store never works. Very frustrating if you want to continue the game and you don’t have enough coins

### 4/5 — Word genius

*2023-07-05, version 1.0.139*

Finally, a word game that TEACHES you about the words you’re playing! I’m just starting but so far it seems very user-friendly. I could play all day. Problem: the letters/squares are not responsive enough to touch. It takes up valuable time to get the squares to accept a letter. Problem: You cannot skip a subject. And you HAVE TO get all the obscure words! No mercy!

### 2/5 — Word Puzzle

*2023-06-23, version 1.0.139*

If you get a category you are not familiar with, you will most likely have to move on, and of course it will cost you one way or another. The prizes at the end of each won category are so few, considering you have to do almost 200 puzzles for each category. Without knowing the theme of the puzzle, these puzzles can be quite difficult. And of course, if you want to reveal the theme, again, it will cost you one way or another.

*2022-08-25, version 1.0.139*

I have a PhD and 14 full time years of university work. I love this game because unlike many games that are for low IQ folks, this one is many steps above. I actually am learning things I did not know and having a great time doing so.

### 4/5 — Word genius review

*2022-06-12, version 1.0.139*

I played this game for a few years and stopped when I reached the end which is Thriller Movies. I’ve been waiting since 2018 for them to release more but so far, nothing. I miss it, it’s a really cool game and you can learn a lot from it.

### 1/5 — Word genius

*2022-12-13, version 1.0.139*

I used to love this game and previously gave it 5stars. But since there is no way to get more coins I give it 1 star.  I can’t get any hints, when I know nothing about a topic! I’m about to quit, which I regret, because I’m truly stumped!
