## Most critical reviews (6 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ads!!

*2025-01-21, version 1.0.8*

This game said no ads! But of course they get you on there and then they start popping up!

### 2/5 — Fun, But gives you the letters not used

*2026-01-11, version 1.1.2*

I loved Words With Friends Letter Lock but Zynga doesn’t have this in an app only as a daily game. The only thing I don’t like is that this game tells you which letters you still need to use which makes it way too easy . To the developers: don’t highlight letters not used AND give bonuses hints to new words found .

### 3/5 — Way too easy. Does not get any harder.

*2025-05-11, version 1.0.8*

I really like the game, and would easily give it 5 stars, but it is way too easy. 

Even at level 100, it is no harder than the first few levels. 

The game has become a grind, sadly. 

Perhaps it is good for a young child. But for me I will no longer play. 

I will,leave it on my iPad, just incase it improves. 

Such a pity.

### 4/5 — Lacks challenge and very repetitive

*2025-12-23*

I play Words With Friends and Letter Lock is a part of their daily puzzles. I enjoyed it so much I had to find a comparable app to play unlimited. That’s when I found Word Lock. I rated it only 4 stars because the game does not become increasingly challenging. I never have to use my hints. I am on level 800 and it’s very repetitive. Same words every few levels. If I have to see ‘BOTANY’ one more time!! 😩 I wish that the word choices were more vast. I thoroughly enjoy playing the game though. Just because the game is suitable for 4 year olds doesn’t mean that it should stay on an elementary level.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game!

*2026-05-23, version 1.1.2*

My favorite game!  I love the sliding letters, sounds effects, the hints as you progress. I also appreciate the colorization of the letters as you find words.  Thank you Jim Rosendal for creating this game!

### 5/5 — Fantastic game!

*2025-06-06*

Love this game! I’m surprised more people haven’t discovered it.
