Fun and challenging ### 5/5 — Word jigsaw *2023-06-26, version 2.2* I love this game, been playing for years. Only game I have on my phone. Best time in Giant puzzle is 2:13 I do wish I could highlight a word and get definition. ### 4/5 — Looses puzzles. *2023-02-25, version 2.1* Love the word jigsaw and play everyday competing with my husband. However every now and again the puzzles disappear from my ipad but my husband doesn’t loose his. I bring the new puzzle every day, but sometimes they all disappear except the last one. Does anyone else have this problem. ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-01-20, version 2.1* Well written and challenging Played it for years ### 5/5 — Love this app *2022-12-08, version 2.1* I play this app all the time it's super fun. ### 5/5 — Word jigsaw *2021-11-30, version 2.1* This is by far the best word game.

I look forward to starting every day with solving them! ### 5/5 — Disappeared and Disappointed *2020-12-29, version 2.1* I have enjoyed the daily crossword part of this app for more than a year. I do not always manage to do all three puzzles in one day, but when I have time, for example while waiting for an appointment, I do several at once. Suddenly this week all my backlog disappeared! What a pity. I now have only three a day and non for a rainy day. Why did you do this? ### 5/5 — Fun to play *2020-12-19, version 2.1* Challenging and fun ### 5/5 — Word jigsaw is great *2020-12-09, version 2.1* Stimulating, always a challenge. You can choose how high a challenge you want to work on each time you play. Gets you thinking about words. I love it. ### 5/5 — Highly recommend this game *2020-11-07, version 2.1* It is a classic - one of the games I play regularly - this is a great game ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-10-02* A Great Game!

Be more fun to play it! More interactive! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy-I guess *2025-02-09, version 2.2* I am DONE with this app. I have been playing for years and have loved it. Now every couple of weeks, it will quit counting the time. This is an important part of the game. So I delete the app, re-download and it will be okay for a little while-until it happens again! DONE! ### 1/5 — Downloaded 3 times but it crashes on opening *2019-05-06, version 2.0* Can’t play the game as it doesn’t open on iPhone 7 :-(. ### 1/5 — Very poor customer service *2019-04-26, version 2.0* I absolutely love this app and have played it for many years. Unfortunately, today, I have been unable to access it on my phone yet it works on iPad. I tried deleting and reinstalling but still no joy. I clicked to get customer support but the person who made the app has not kept their registration up to date so they cannot be contacted. Really gutted that they don’t seem to care about their customers any more. ### 1/5 — Lame *2017-08-07, version 2.0* Lame lame ### 1/5 — Great - well it was, but no more *2017-01-29, version 2.0* Three words ending in 'ed', words that nobody ever uses. Once a good game - now a disaster. A new dictionary with unused words and a preponderance of words ending in 'ier' have ruined this game. One game I played had four words ending in 'ded'. I hope something is done soon I am fed up with complaining since nobody cares. An excellent and addictive game. But... too many words ending in 'ing'; and in 'ier', too many groups of 4 letters in a square; too many repetitions ('bathroom' is a favourite; oh and, of course, American spelling. I'd like to choose 'English'. Please throw away the new dictionary. There are words I have never seen before and words not even in the Oxford Dictionary. ### 2/5 — Hit or miss *2025-07-19, version 2.2* The daily crossword is great - the regular game, not so much. Would love more puzzles like the daily. ### 2/5 — Used to be good *2018-04-14, version 2.0* This was good until they started including ads all the time. I'm looking for another game now. Sad because I do like this but I just can't abide the constant interruptions. ### 3/5 — Hard puzzle *2025-07-24, version 2.2* Timer does not start on hard puzzles at times. Bug to be fixed. ### 3/5 — Fun, But Please .., *2025-01-26, version 2.2* This is a fun and challenging game to play. Some are rather hard and when finally finished would like to see the completed puzzle words for a minute but it is closed immediately to show an Ad. Very annoying. ### 3/5 — Word jigsaw *2024-02-04, version 2.2* Love the puzzle. Have been playing for years. Now every time I finish a puzzle the checkmark doesn’t show. Can’t tell which ones I finished. Very frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2025-10-23, version 2.2* Love this game. It’s always a fun challenge. ### 5/5 — Fantastic game! *2024-12-04, version 2.2* Sometimes there are games that are truly fantastic and we have to tell everyone about it. Thank you for creating this wonderful game! ### 5/5 — the best *2024-08-01, version 2.2* the best challenging word game for wordsmiths. so challenging yet enjoyable yet relaxing. you won’t regret the buy. ### 5/5 — Love it, but one suggestion *2023-11-28, version 2.2* I play this app every day! LOVE IT! But since it has to be played with the iPad in portrait position, it would be nice if the app would rotate 180 with the iPad. Sometimes I am charging the device while playing and would prefer the cord to be at the top (more out of the way, less bending/damage risk). Thanks! ### 5/5 — Asian Menace *2023-11-08, version 2.2* The Development team need to be aware of the pop-up screen, offering latest update. Coming from the far east, the developers need to be aware, this is a scam and as such needs disabling ### 5/5 — Enjoy the challenge of this game *2023-09-05, version 2.2* This game makes me think ….& try to think faster with the timer running ### 5/5 — Keeps an old guys mind clicking. *2023-07-30, version 2.2* Thanks ### 5/5 — The challenge *2023-07-29, version 2.2* Have loved this game. After one attempt at the 'hard' game I have Never gone there again. Happy as Larry doing the medium one. ### 5/5 — Old faithful *2023-07-22* I have been playing this game since it first came out, and cannot sleep without finishing their Daily Game. Far superior to the childish word games emerging today, and a real mental stimulation. Five stars definitely. ### 5/5 — Maureen Cresswell *2023-07-05, version 2.2* I really enjoy this game. I like the challenge of trying to complete all the words as quickly as possible. Sometimes I am stumped, but it is good exercise for the brain. Love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
