### 4/5 — More Variety, but fun nonetheless

*2022-01-24*

I found out about these word games a few days ago, and since Wordle is a daily thing, I found wordex to be an amazing app to play with :) super fun.

But after almost playing the game nonstop, I feel like words repeat themselves too often. I’ve seen the words “paint, hotel” and “water” a bit too much. It would be nice if there was more variety to words, or just a way to not repeat words too much.

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2022-01-16*

Just like Wordle, so, fun. But I wish there was a little more “celebration” when you solve. It doesn’t blink or anything, just immediately pops up a menu to start a new game. Make the right word flash a few times before the next action comes up.

**Developer response:** Hi SGLPGT, 

Thank you for the feedback! I'm working on something to make it more fun :-)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-01-15*

Fun game, well developed. Could be nice to have the option to display the alphabet in order rather than qwerty. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-01-15*

It’s really addictive. More so because I can share the fun with friends!

### 5/5 — Awesome after the updates

*2022-01-13*

It’s great to see a developer that keeps updating an app to make it better and better! Thanks - fun game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2022-01-12*

Perfect for all levels of players and really engaging, apps been running smoothly and keeping me entertained on the way to work 😁

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Clear rip off of WORDLE...

*2022-01-15, version 1.2*

...with absolutely no credit given to the original. The attempt to monetize something that was explicitly created as a free gift is cynical and depressing. (WORDLE was first written  for the original developer's word game loving partner and then shared with the world.)

The game itself does a good job of emulating the online version and seems to add the capability of playing with a friend. 

But it's hard to appeciate an app that seems to have been produced with a complete disregard for the original creator and his motives. A lot of WORDLE's popularity is because, as well as being a great game, it's an act of generosity on the part of the author with no strings attached. 

This just makes me sad.

### 2/5 — Four letter words

*2022-01-18*

I played 7 times. All 7 times it was a 4 letter word with an S added.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Most of the plural words were removed in the 1.3 update.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2022-01-17*

I played a round, determined the word was “CAINS”, but it wouldn’t let me enter it, saying it wasn’t a real word.  And yet, when I gave up, it said the answer was “CAINS”.  Now where is the fun in that?

**Developer response:** Hi kilaana, 

Thanks for the review! There was an issue with this word that has been fixed in 1.3 version.

### 3/5 — Plurals?

*2026-08-11*

A beautifully designed app, but disappointed to find plural form of words allowed. Should be a no-no like Wordle.

### 3/5 — Oops

*2022-01-29*

Was told after multiple incorrect guesses that correct word was CAINS, which can't be guessed because it isn't a valid word.

Other than that, a good Wordle knock-off.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2022-01-14*

Way too many of the words are just the plural of four letter words.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! I’ll be adding more words in the next update.

### 4/5 — Not enough 5 letter words

*2025-12-04, version 1.4.3*

The list of 5 letter words in the free app is short, same words keep repeating. Does the paid app has the same 5 letter words list?

### 4/5 — Repetitive

*2022-02-13*

Fun, but the same words keep appearing too often

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2022-02-10*

I think it would be extremely helpful if you could touch the square you would like to edit without removing the entire word.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2022-02-03*

I would give it 5 stars but the colours - background and letter boxes are very hard on the eyes. Too similar and  so hard to see.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2024-04-04*

I love that I can play this offline. Most of the time I can guess within 5 tries, but that’s perfect for me.  Plus, I can play multiple times a day, not just once.  Keeps my mind working and happy!

### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant app!!!

*2023-02-19*

So so happy I downloaded this - brilliant app & perfect for challenging others. 10/10 !!!

### 5/5 — Super fun, no data collection, no ads

*2022-08-26*

We have a great time playing this every evening before bed.  I really appreciate the developer of this game.  It's very fun and I'm not constantly bothered by ads or privacy concerns.  Thanks!  So rare.  Time to upgrade.

### 5/5 — YESSSS I LOVE IT !!!

*2022-04-15*

This is brilliant !! No timer !! No against the clock meaning NO ADDED STRESS when playing to try to relax !!!! 

THANK YOU SO MUCH just what I need finally a game where you can actually relax while playing it !!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

### 5/5 — wordex > wordle

*2022-03-08*

Way better than Wordle!!

### 5/5 — Hard to get work done…

*2022-02-12*

It’s an awesome app! It’s like WORDL, but you can play it repeatedly (instead of only once per day.) WORDEX is terribly addictive, sometimes makes it hard to remain productive at work… 😀 Love the extra features. Like how you can make up words and send as challenges to friends, or create words and hand your phone to others to solve. As a side note, the New York Times just purchased WORDL, (since that game has become a global phenomenon), It will be interesting to see how it plays out with similar word games. I really hope WORDEX remains available! Again, awesome app!

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2022-02-03, version 1.4*

Put it on my

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2022-01-27*

Great game to pass the time, and great for long journeys!

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2022-01-22*

Great implementation and really fun game

### 5/5 — New favorite!

*2022-01-20*

If you like Wordle you’ll like this.  Also the developer is responsive to suggestions and has already improved some features.
