This has helped my memory greatly, AROHANUI ### 4/5 — Limited word choice *2021-05-05, version 1.3.6* This is a fun game to play but there are too many words that are valid dictionary entries that are disallowed to make this annoying. The range of words need to be extended to include legitimate entries. This game uses American words and needs to have a UK version. ### 3/5 — Where Do These Words Come From *2021-03-23, version 1.3.6* Its a nice game to play, but some of the words you have to look for are words not used in everyday spelling, which makes the game slow for me, trying to work out the odd words not used in day to day speech. ### 3/5 — Charge *2020-09-23, version 1.3* Don”t charge. But stop BEGGING,it”s so annoying as are your commercials ### 3/5 — Fun but riddled with ads *2020-08-04, version 1.2* This game is a unique concept and would be fun to play if there wasn’t an ad after almost every round. This led to me uninstalling it almost immediately. I get that you want money, but a better monetization strategy would be fewer ads which incentivizes the player to keep playing, so you’d make the money eventually, and then more. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Repeating Same Level *2025-06-28, version 1.7.3* The game seems to be stuck on Level 4924 ### 1/5 — Stuck *2021-09-15, version 1.4.0* Can’t play. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2021-07-30, version 1.3.9* I can’t even play the game. It’s stuck on an ad, and won’t go to the game ### 1/5 — Music during ads *2020-11-06, version 1.3.1* I used to love this game and played it daily. The ads were fine, silent but I did look at them. Now they come on with screaming music. I’m so busy trying to mute the sound before it annoys everyone that I don’t see them anyway. Hate the app now. ### 2/5 — Annoying *2023-05-19, version 1.6.5* Doesn’t accept many common words which I find extremely annoying. And when does it get more difficult? Only redeeming feature is that the ads are not intrusive. Deleted! ### 2/5 — Impossible to click No to advertised games *2021-11-10, version 1.4.2* Way too many advertisements to buy other games and even when your not interested they make you go through different screens and ask you a three times to get the advertised game ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2023-09-03, version 1.6.6* I used to really enjoy this game. I could play at least three games before an ad came on. Now there seems to be an ad after every game. I know ads are necessary, but surely not this frequently ### 3/5 — Too many commercials *2023-01-15, version 1.6.5* An excellent game but the commercials are too long and often difficult if not impossible to clear. ### 3/5 — Needs a dictionary *2022-01-30, version 1.6.3* I love the format but just can’t understand the logic this app uses to decide what it will accept as an English word and what it won’t. Way too many disallowed, but perfectly common, words. ### 3/5 — One small change *2021-09-06, version 1.3.9* I really like the layout of this game. But there is one small change I’d like to see and that’s the letters on the bottom of the screen. I’ve played many word games on the App Store and never had a problem reaching the letters. But for some reason I have trouble on here. If you could consider moving the letters a little closer to each other that’d be great, especially for people with smaller hands who have to swipe to the other side of their phone. If this is changed, I’d definitely give a higher rating. Thanks. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mr. *2024-12-15, version 1.7.3* Learning new words. Very relaxing game. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Mentally stimulating *2022-02-13, version 1.6.3* Easy combo of letters can be the most difficult. ### 5/5 — Word scramble *2022-01-22, version 1.6.3* Fun game! Hate ads!!!

Your game has a true value of assistance to The community Thanks Farmer mike 3 ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2020-09-13, version 1.3* Absolutely love this game found it a few days ago can’t stop playing it ok one or two ads but can’t fault it give it a go you won’t be disappointed if you like word games ### 5/5 — Addictive *2020-09-12, version 1.3* Beware this game is so addicting ### 4/5 — This game is pretty good except for a major annoyance *2021-08-26, version 1.3.9* This major annoyance is especially annoying when doing words quickly (like I do) It will accept weird words most people wouldn’t think are real “DAIS, LOCI, BEREFT, DEERS, METS, LIMN” and there are a few instances where a plural form of a word is accepted, but the single isn’t (or vice versa) “BUM, TEAT, FETE, DUD, WAD, etc” and it has the tendency to reject very real words (or words that might be slightly offensive?) “DRUG, SWIG, REDS, GREY (but takes GRAY), INFO, ANTI/ANTE, LETS, RET, ERE, OVA/OVUM, BOOR, the list goes on and on and on” --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
