Worth a download? Probably

Okay. I freely admit I am a word snob, a grammar nazi, a devoted worshipper of letters, spaces, and marks on a page. I call it an eccentricity; others call it a personality disorder. Potato, patato. I gave this 5 stars on the first night, but then I got to know it better and the magic wore off. This game has no mercy. I mean, the word "mercy" is not a real word according to the game dictionary. There is also no "pith." And while it admits there is such a word as "professor," it will not allow you to "profess." Strange, huh? These are just a few examples. I get that folks might not want to hook up with every word they meet, but here the dictionary appears to be a random selection of random words. I really like the game concept and the potential for strategy, but it needs a more respectable vocabulary. The puzzles are fun for an occasional hookup, but this not the kind of game you take home to meet the parents.

I enjoy the game but I’d enjoy it more if it stops resetting.

I have reached the Champ/Expert Section but every time I close out of the app it resets. I have to input all those words to get back to where I was. It’s frustrating.

Kinda boring

I love me some word games but I got to level 15 (granted in the rookie section, but I like to start easy when I'm trying out games), and not only did I get raked over the coals with ads that they fade in so at first you think it's part of the game, but also there was no challenge whatsoever. Nothing remotely causing me to need to think at all. Sad times.

Thanks for your feedback. The game does start easy but gets challenging further on. I think the ads (that appear after every 5 levels) might seem too many in the beginning as you move through the levels quickly, but wouldn't once you are past the senior level. Ads are a necessary evil for us to help monetize our effort. I would urge you to give it one more try! Thanks Neha

Points are hard to come by

Fun, addicting game, but points/coins are very hard to come by. I have played other word games in which this is the case, but if I do spend the coins for a hint, the hint should not disappear so quickly. If I use the 5-coin hint that shows every other letter in the answer, it disappears if I get the answer wrong. It should stay up until I get the answer right. Should be an easy fix without having to rewrite the code for the entire game.

Update? Received response from developer offering to fix glitch. I will take them up on the offer

All my hard work getting through the Master’s level was wiped out with the update. Wants me to restart at Rookie. Don’t think so. Bye bye word hook up.

Sorry for the problem you are facing. I would hate to loose you as a player. I believe we can get this resolved. Could you please use the feedback form in the settings dialog, or email me directly at wordhookup.helper@gmail.com so that we can get you to continue from the Master level.

Spelling errors!!

Seriously. It’s quite difficult to guess the correct word if they have it spelled incorrectly in the app. Ugh.

Still locked out

I did the update and I am still locked out of all of the levels I previously mastered. I have to start at puzzle one every time. Time to delete.

Great game

One of the best game apps I’ve tried. The reason for only 4 stars, which I’ll change to 5 if the problem is corrected, is I completed the Master Level and it shows two more levels are live but they are not. I can’t go any further and there is no explanation anywhere as to why this may be. Again, a great game except for this one problem.

Good but limited. Looking forward to more puzzles

Good and clever game. I can’t say anything about the latest update because I just finished the game without it. I thought each puzzle was fair, though especially the non-themed puzzles were trickier than the themed puzzles since you could easily identify which words were right once you found them.

My only complaint and I’d happily change the score to a five, is that it didn’t take too long to finish the levels, so I’m sad there’s not any more. That being said I’m glad that while I definitely got stumped multiple times, after putting it down and coming back I’d always eventually figure it out and I never thought the solutions were unfair. Nothing too obscure or unknown.

Inaccurate

I would give this game more stars, but it doesn’t include all possible words. I was playing a level and finding the bonus words, but there were at least two words I could make that the game wouldn’t accept. Y’all need to get a dictionary. Deuces.

A word game that doesn’t recognize words

To really exemplify this: on the first master level, try the word real. It’s four letters. Should be a “star word,” and yes, as the word suggests, it’s very, very real. Playing the game is not so much a challenge as it is a guessing game as to what words the developers arbitrarily added.

Too many annoying ads

And the game isn’t worth 10 to remove them. Deleted app

Ads are abusive

Wow a lot of ads and they all last 30 seconds. Fun game but the ads detract.

Good game, but too much of Ads. Not worth the time to try.

I downloaded the game to give it a try since it showed up on App of the day. 5 minutes in, the Advertisements start bombing up everywhere. You see ads while playing a level, you have to see an ad in between levels. It was frustrating to even give the game a try.

Two stars for what I could play with. The concept is good. But lost in a pool of ads. I have seen other games where ads are placed strategically to let the user enjoy the game first for about 30 minutes a day, etc.

Thanks for your feedback. We have tried to keep the ads less than what we have seen in similar games. Full screen ads only show up after completing every 5 levels. The first 40 levels in the "Rookie" category are easy, and hence you go through them very fast. That is why you probably felt the ads are too many. As you move further in the games, they will be much less obtrusive. I hope you can appreciate that ads are the primary source of monetization for a game like this.

Frustrating first experience

In the age of Apple Arcade, I would imagine the App Store editors would be more critical of how developers use ads within their games. My first four minutes with this game subjected me to a cheap ad after four levels that I could skip after 30 seconds, followed by a second interactive adventure that was not optimized for my iPhone XS screen. Controls were not visible. Could not skip the ad after 30 seconds, effectively locking up the game for me. Force quit and instant delete.

I know the use of these ads is largely out of the control of developers (ie which ads show), but devs should be more concerned. Services like Apple Arcade are only going to make consumers like me far more critical of bad ads and apps that use them.

Regret that you were served a cheap ad. If possible, I would request you to send the details for the ad through the feedback button on our site or in the app, so that we can send this to the ad network we use. Our settings specifically block all adult and sensitive categories. I play games myself and definitely find them frustrating. Just that this is our main source of monetization. In at least one of the ad networks we have been able to ada a skip button. This should improve your experience. Hope you reconsider playing the game!
