Absolutely fine.

A nice mid-tier word puzzle game. I love the lack of time limit, not having the standard star rating to judge how you did, and having free hints. Makes the experience relaxing (which is a good thing) and casual. I’ll probably continue playing to some degree because of those strengths. But at the same time I find the puzzles and the mechanic for solving them lackluster. The photos that serve as clues for each puzzle are very sterile. Strong stock photo energy, if you know what I mean. Finding the words relating to the photo is just kinda ok. Most of the time there’s one of two outcomes: I spot the word fairly quickly, string it together, and move to the next. Or I don’t spot the word and spend ages staring at the options before finally getting a hint and, then, spotting the word quickly and moving on. And I think the problem is there’s only ever one word to find at a time. You find it, more letters show up on the screen for the next word. As such, when you stall, there’s no way to put the word aside and work on something else. It’s either find that word or stop playing. It’s just not a puzzle loop I find engaging.

# 5 Star Review

This game is one of my go to games when I am bored. It is challenging and all the puzzles are really great. I would 10 out of 10 recommend this game if you like word challenges. World laces Is super fun and isn’t just a trash game. This game makes me very happy. Totally love this game! Try it! I think you will totally love I I!

It’s… okay

It’s not a bad app, it’s just boring. I gave it 2 stars because it’s not awful. But I don’t like it. I am, however, glad other people like it. And as some other people said, it’s similar to other word games but without ads. I just thought it would be more challenging. I think it would be suitable for kids or anyone who prefers to “zone out” without much thinking (such as my mother).

So Close…

I LOVE this game—been playing it every day since it’s inception—but there are two things I wish would’ve finally been resolved with this latest update.

First, implementing landscape mode on iPad. Next, on tv—with the second gen Siri Remote—using the arrow keys around the touch sensor registers as a button press instead of navigating the home and menu screens. It’s a bit annoying when wanting to select the Daily Puzzle (on the main screen) and instead taken to the “main” game; on the in-game menu screen, it will automatically select the ‘hint’ button, when I’m actually trying to exit the game.

Hopefully, these things will be corrected in the next update.

*And, I’m assuming this is a bug, but there was an update last week (July 6) that brought 100 new puzzles to the main game… but only to the tvOS; the iOS and iPadOS versions still show last update “8 months ago.”

Needs a little bit more detail

I like this game and some puzzles are challenging. What I would like to see different is the progress bar stay on the screen during the whole game instead of appearing and filling and then disappearing only when a word is completed. In other words, the progress bar will be on the screen where it always has been, but instead of appearing and filling and disappearing, it will be on the screen empty when each puzzle starts and fill as the words are completed for the entire duration of the puzzle until it is completed. This is why I rate it four out of five stars. Thanks for a fun and sometimes challenging game to pass time. Keep up the good work. I look forward to new updates in the future.
