### 3/5 — Huh?

*2026-05-13*

I didn’t know what the point of this puzzle was.  When introducing a new wrinkle on these puzzles, please provide a well/labelled example for us slow-to- catch-on persons!

### 4/5 — Depends on what you want

*2026-05-07*

If you are not competitive and just want a relaxing mind stimulation-this is good. You can use as many “reveals” as you want with no penalty because no-one is keeping score. You just move to the next level. It’s free for the first 100 levels. Hopefully it becomes more challenging as you proceed. It’s a little contrived in that sometimes they put two or three letters one block. This is all good for my purpose but three is one very aggravating thing that should be corrected. When choosing the top left letter, it almost always enlarges the picture and you lose what you are doing. It often takes several attempts to get by this step without enlarging the photo.

### 5/5 — Loved on Apple Arcade

*2025-05-20*

Loved this game on Apple Arcade. Glad to see it back.

### 4/5 — Moderately challenging and quirky

*2025-05-20*

I adore a challenging and visually appealing word game and this one surprised me.  I quite enjoyed playing it, it’s not super easy, you do have to think!  Good fun.

### 1/5 — So Very Disappointed!

*2024-08-19*

So very disappointed that this was pulled from Apple Arcade and reestablished as an app that you have to pay to play!

### 1/5 — $8 Full Version

*2024-04-25*

I was VERY excited to play this game and then I discovered that you can only play the first 100 levels for free. Annoying to let us have a little and then take it away if we don’t give you 8 dollars. Deleted the game when I saw that.
