There are a lot of others. Do proper names count? Ruth would seem to be incorrectly included. Seriously, sex isn’t a word but sec is! I feel like I need to learn a new language. Great game but frustratingly inaccurate vocabulary. Contractions require an apostrophe. “Isnt” isn’t a word “Center” is a word “center” is not! Please work on this problem if puzzle 58-8 you have a word “pole com” there is only one “o” in the puzzle. Pole was not accepted as a 4 letter word. There were several other examples. Puzzle 65-5 won’t take perfectly good words even though there are spaces for them Despite all this it’s a good game-I just wish it wasn’t riddled with errors. Puzzle 99 keeps giving the same puzzle. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the comments. We have rearrange the words and fixed minor bugs in the latest version. And we will keep improving the game to build better in-game experience to our players. Stay tuned. ### 1/5 — Unable To Open *2018-11-30, version 1.6* Have downloaded this game twice now, and both times once app is opened it shows a black screen with the word NULL. Have now deleted app, looked like a good game. 30/11/18 - downloaded again, still black screen with null. Waited 2 mins and nothing happened. Deleted and re-installed app same thing happened again. ### 1/5 — Black screen +Null *2018-11-26, version 1.6* Can’t play ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2018-11-25, version 1.6* I’ve tried to download this game a few times now and every time it shows the developers name and then crashes. It’s a shame, it looked like a good game... ### 2/5 — App Crashes *2025-01-28, version 1.8.9* Every time I try and launch the app, it crashes. This has happened with iOS 18.2.1 and also with iOS 18.3 Thanks ### 2/5 — Would be good but. *2023-07-31* Im obsessed with the ocean so I got this game expecting it to be good but when I opened the app it crashed I tried everything: deleting and reinstalling, closing and opening, existing out of the tap , NOTHING WORKED it just keeps crashing ### 4/5 — Watch video and download *2018-12-07, version 1.7* Hello With the free gold button 250 gold is offered to watch a video and download. When I do this nothing happens, is there something I’m doing wrong or is it a bug with the game. This is the best word game out there and I have no problem paying $10 to $15 a month but only if free gold is offered as I’ve many other games that also have in app purchase s that I also pay for. Thanks Steven ### 5/5 — Hi *2022-02-08* Does anyone else have trouble with this game closing once you open it up ### 5/5 — the game *2021-02-16* So far I like the game it’s lots of fun to play no issues at all which is very good ### 5/5 — Ever changing Ever challenging *2019-09-11, version 1.8.9* I love the ever changing background as you succeed level by level. The whole new concept I hope more games will be made like this one. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-03-22* Great for the mind. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2018-11-13, version 1.6* Only just started playing.
