It says it's not correct but this is the only spelling of it that I know. Help! ### 2/5 — . *2013-11-28* Typing the solution does not always work, especially when there is an ampersand in the puzzle. It is annoying to be forced to spend coins to buy all of the vowels just to move on. It is also annoying that the reviews don't post. ### 2/5 — Word Puzzles *2013-10-23* I have solved 360 puzzles thus far. However, on numerous occasions I have entered the correct answer only to have it rejected as incorrect. On each of these, I surrendered 100 points in order to see the correct answer. Without exception, my reply was identical to the purchased correct answer. Frustrating. I thought the problem was corrected after my first review. Alas, not true. I am now over 500 solves and, just moments ago, I solved Little Man Tate twice and received incorrect reply. I input the answer twice and then surrendered. My solution was identical to the one given. Perhaps you should consult with the genius who built the ACA , read Obamacare, website for help. ### 5/5 — Guessing is Fun *2013-10-17* Not to difficult. Makes u think. Very similar to w.o.f, but you're not timed. ### 1/5 — NOT fun! *2013-09-20* Do not waste your time or your hard earned money! This game needs a "Give Up" key, when you have used all the coins to solve but have no idea what the phrase is. This company does not give enough coins to solve the simplest phrase, soooo you will have to spend money. I do not do that. ### 1/5 — Disappointed With Game *2013-09-11* Depleted my coins very quickly and every single time I bought a vowel it took my coins but gave me nothing. If I left the game and returned it took me to the solve screen with no way of getting back to the actual game screen. After only 30 minutes, I was so frustrated that I deleted the game. I rate this game a one but don't even want to give it that! ### 1/5 — Rip off! *2013-09-08* This game is a money pit and I want my money back! I would buy a vowel, it deducted the coins but gave me no vowels...so many times I can't count. Sucked through my coins and in order to keep playing you have to actually purchase more coins. Terrible, why not just charge a fee for the game? Normally if I don't like the game I will just delete it, but not this time!!! Don't bother downloading this app! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2013-08-30* I couldn't put it down once I started playing. Great fun!!!! ### 5/5 — This game is absolutely awesome! *2013-08-30, version 1.1* I love the variety of puzzles and would recommend this game to anyone! ## Frequently asked questions about Word Puzzles ### What is Word Puzzles?
