I will look for another game if this continues- I’ve been playing this game over a year. ### 2/5 — Problem *2026-08-21, version 1.38.3* When playing the game ads will pop up and play for a couple seconds then go away, very frustrating ### 2/5 — Please Fix Pop-Up Ads *2026-08-20, version 1.38.3* I love this game but suddenly I’m getting pop-up ads repeatedly every two or three seconds and it is so incredibly annoying. I had given it five stars until this started happening recently. What has changed? ### 3/5 — Игра сломалась! *2026-07-28, version 1.38.3* Игра выдает ошибку, не видит подключению к вайфаю! Хотя вайфай работает стабильно! ### 4/5 — Проблема *2026-06-30, version 1.38.2* Здравствуйте! Игра очень нравится, долгое время в нее играю. Но появилась проблема: игра перестала запускаться без подключения к сети интернет. Выдает ошибку. Работает только при стабильном соединении. Не знаю, что делать, ведь для меня это был важный фактор. Пробовала и отключать синхронизацию, и переустанавливать игру. Не помогло ### 4/5 — Bien mais dommage pour la pub *2026-06-04, version 1.38.1* Le jeu en soit est sympa pour passer le temps. Mais 18€ pour enlever la pub mais en laissant la possibilité d’en regarder quand même pour des bonus, je trouve ça exagéré. J’entends bien que les devs doivent vivre mais y a des jeux bien plus intéressant pour bien moins chère. Franchement pour 5€ j’aurai pris la pub en moins. Mais pour le prix demandé je peux avoir un jeu sur Steam avec des mécaniques bien plus poussées qu’ici tout en jouant quand même avec des lettres. ### 2/5 — Optimizasyon sorunu var *2026-05-30, version 1.38.1* Oyun çok güzel ancak ciddi derecede optimizasyon sorunu var 17 pro Max cihazda 10 dk oynayınca deli gibi ısınıyor telefon ### 4/5 — Idioma *2026-05-18, version 1.38.1* A dia de hoy sigue habiendo infinidad de palabras que no corresponden al idioma. Veo que hay reseñas que tienen 5 años diciendo lo mismo. Por lo tanto, no se ha arreglado nada. Además, desde hace un par de días, el juego no acaba de cargar. Se queda en el 50%. He descargado de nuevo la app y ya funciona. Pero no deberia de hsber ese problema. ### 4/5 — Fallo en la carga *2026-05-17, version 1.38.0* Al cargar el juego solo llega al 50% ### 4/5 — Перестал работать *2026-02-28, version 1.37.1* Все было хорошо, игра мне очень понравилась, музыка, анимация, вопросы, даже медитации такие, но прости обновления и не обновлялся, пишет ошибка дойдя до 64%, не работает, не знаю что делать, удаляла, устанавливала по новой, не помогает ### 4/5 — Games pretty good, ads are annoying *2026-01-04, version 1.37.1* Game is fun and relaxing. It’s a good test of search and knowledge. But the ads are very long and each time you finish a round there’s another ad so it makes you lose your groove. I think it’s a bit much to ask 14.99 for remove ads but I understand you have to make money. For now, I have removed the game. ### 3/5 — 언어 *2025-12-24, version 1.37.1* 한국어는 지원이 안되는걸까요? ### 3/5 — Le daría cinco estrellas pero… *2025-11-20, version 1.37.1* Cada vez que termino una fase y además aguanto la molesta publicidad, no me da la recompensa entera. Y además me quitan las monedas que ya tengo en mi poder cuando entro de nuevo al juego. Por lo demás es un juego muy entretenido al que llevo jugando mucho tiempo y se aprende mucho. ### 2/5 — Word lanes *2025-10-29, version 1.37.1* Oyun donuyor ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Gone! *2026-08-22, version 1.38.3* After playing and enjoying this game for a long time and about 2500 games in, I am deleting it because of the maddening little ads which keep on popping up in the middle of the games. If the makers rethink this policy I will be the first to restart playing. ### 1/5 — Pop ups *2026-08-17, version 1.38.3* Used to ❤️playing this game! Now there’s a pop up ad every few seconds! It’s not fun anymore!! Please remove this from the game! ### 1/5 — Constant ads *2026-08-17, version 1.38.3* After playing this puzzle game for a couple months I started having ads pop up while in the middle of searching words. These interrupts became constant. It is so irritating I had to delete the app for my own sanity. I refuse to pay for any of these battery killing game apps. ### 1/5 — Paid version still has ads *2026-07-21, version 1.38.3* I paid for the ad removal and the game still has pop ups to watch ads every level. If you don’t click on the X properly to close the pop up it instantly takes you to an add. What did I pay for? ### 1/5 — Кал чистый *2026-04-14, version 1.37.1* Игра для недолюдей ру ### 1/5 — Selling your information *2026-02-26, version 1.37.1* This game has now made it impossible to play unless you allow it to provide your information to anyone it wants. I’ve played it for a long time and have enjoyed. I will leave it loaded for a while to see if changes this requirement. If it doesn’t I’ll be deleting it. ### 1/5 — Attenzione *2025-08-23, version 1.37.0* Da due giorni l’app crasha e si blocca, fate qualcosa grazie mille ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2025-07-16, version 1.36.3* Every time I open the app it doesn’t do anything but show me the startup screen. I’m sad this was one of my favorite games. ### 1/5 — Update *2025-07-15, version 1.36.3* Just recieved update and the game is crashing ### 1/5 — Freeze *2025-05-26, version 1.35.1* Freezes a lot cannot play not fun anymore ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loving this game *2026-07-27, version 1.38.3* I love this game this makes me relaxed and relieved at night a bit challenging but I like a challenge make more of these games please pretty please!🙏 ### 5/5 — App startet wieder *2026-06-01, version 1.38.1* Nach Update funktioniert die App wieder App startet seit kurzem nicht mehr. Der Fortschrittsbalken bleibt bei 50% stehen. ### 5/5 — cok iyi *2026-05-22, version 1.38.1* kendimizi gelistirmek yeni bilgiler edinmek ve bunu eglenerek yapabilmek icin çok güzel bir uygulama teşekkürler ### 5/5 — Mise à jour *2026-05-19, version 1.38.0* Bonjour Pour résoudre ce problème, j’ai dû désinstaller le jeu puis le réinstaller car je pense que cela venait d’un clash entre la MàJ et IOS 26.4.2 . Tout est rentré dans l’ordre. Merci. ### 5/5 — Fehler *2026-05-19, version 1.38.0* Seit zwei Tagen startet die App nicht mehr , lädt bis 50% dann passiert nichts mehr . Sehr schade. Nachdem Update funktioniert es wieder ### 5/5 — Super mais …. *2026-05-17, version 1.38.0* Super mais depuis hier impossible de jouer . Le chargement bloque à 50% . Impossible de le dépasser J’espère que ce problème va être vite résolu, et que je ne vais pas perdre mes avancées Merci d’avance pour votre réactivité ### 5/5 — Arrêté ? *2026-05-16, version 1.38.0* Ne fonctionne plus, quelle regret, j’y jouais depuis bien longtemps, maintenant, au lancement, le jeux se charge jusqu’à 50 mais ne va pas plus loin… pour confirmer, j’ai désinstallé et rechargé et la , le jeu fonctionne à nouveau ce qui confirme qu’a plus de 4000 jeux, ça ne fonctionne plus. À voir… ### 5/5 — Il gioco non carica *2026-05-16, version 1.38.0* Il gioco si carica fino al 50% cosa fare ### 5/5 — Проблема с загрузкой *2026-05-14, version 1.38.0* То была проблема с загрузкой до 64% и остановкой, было не зайти в игру. Позже, все заработало. После последнего обновления, останавливается и не грузится далее 50%. Поправьте уже, чтобы все стабильно работало. Благодарю! ### 5/5 — Great and relaxing!
