### 1/5 — I CANT EVEN GET ONTO THE GAME

*2023-02-08*

Every single time I start clicking it denies me getting on! Don’t get the app as I have deleted it twice and still it doesn’t let me on! If you want a word puzzle game go for dingbats not this putrid game!

**Developer response:** Hello Super super fluffy Hogwarts (awesome name btw 😅),
The latest update has fixed this bug
Thanks for alerting me to it

### 1/5 — Learn to spell!

*2021-03-13*

I was enjoying this app but got stuck on ODDS ON FAVORITE because the answer is (apparently) ODSS ON FAVORITE. Fools...

**Developer response:** Thanks for the bringing this issue to our attention. We have now fixed this question in the latest update. We hope you give our app another try!

### 1/5 — Wrong Letters

*2021-02-25*

Too many puzzles with wrong letters so you either have to watch a hundred videos to “reveal” letters or pay $50 to solve it.  Very very frustrating.  Don’t waste your time until they fix it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. We have now fixed the issue with spelling mistakes in the latest update.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2021-02-21*

Riddle 61 will not give me enough letters to complete the riddles

**Developer response:** Thanks for the bringing this issue to our attention. We have now fixed this question in the latest update. We hope you give our app another try!

### 2/5 — Can't turn off sounds!

*2024-05-14*

I've never had an app so thoroughly disregard my phone volume settings. If my phone is on silent, it will play the sounds loudly. If I'm listening to something else, it will stop it to play an app sound. The puzzles are great, but this is a very frustrating feature, and there's no setting to turn it off that I've been able to find.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2021-08-28*

Big time. Letters keep disappearing, and won’t allow watching ads to save on “money”. This app is interesting, but needs an immediate cleanup of bugs

**Developer response:** Hey rajkob,
Many bugs have been fixed - especially ones caused by using the hints, which sometimes made letters incorrectly disappear.
In regards to watching video ads, there doesn't seem to be a bug. Maybe the ads weren't able to load if you had no/bad wifi

### 3/5 — Fun but money doesn't work

*2024-02-27*

It's okay but if you try to add more coins by purchasing it won't let you. Doesn't really make sense for an app to make it difficult to spend money on it - seems like it would be the other way around.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that;
thanks for drawing my attention to it;
(Edited:) I think its working now

### 3/5 — Errors

*2021-03-04*

There were several puzzles that had the wrong word and/or would not accept the right words until the points were used.

Examples: 

Ease of Life would not take the phrase until points were used to fully solve
Odds in Favorite had Odds spelled wrong

But overall a fun challenge if you can get beyond a few of these.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the bringing this issue to our attention. We have now fixed these questions in the latest update. We hope you give our app another try!

### 3/5 — Good game but some things are spelt wrong

*2021-02-21*

For example level 2, riddle 11. It should be “odds on favorite” but the quiz says the first word is spelt “odss”.  I can forgive the American spelling of “favorite”, even though it is spelt the UK way in the rebus itself, but other words should be spelt right. Putting me off the game.  Also, sometimes the letters you need aren’t there.  For example, in level 2, riddle 12, the answer is “false witness” but there are only 2 s’s in the letters below.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the bringing these issues to our attention. We have now fixed them in the latest update. We hope you give our app another try!

### 4/5 — Fun games however…

*2025-08-04*

I didn’t appreciate riddle 11. 😂
The answer was CENTRE of attention… whole time I was putting center of attention wondering why I was getting it wrong.

### 5/5 — Very fun riddles

*2023-01-25*

Enjoyable game with so many head scratching riddles

Hours of fun

### 5/5 — More puzzles please

*2022-05-03*

I have been finished for months now. It says more puzzles will be coming soon. Please hurry up with them.

### 4/5 — Title

*2025-02-28*

Its good but there is a bug on riddle 11 level 1 that even though i spelled center of attention right it says it wrong

### 4/5 — I like it!

*2023-12-26*

I really like this game! It’s fun but challenging, I finished all the puzzles in a couple of days and can’t wait for more. My only issue is that I can’t listen to music from my phone while playing the game, so I’m only giving it four stars for that reason, but if that weren’t an problem I’d give it five. Being able to turn off the sounds in the game would great. Thanks guys!

### 4/5 — Straightforward, but need more!

*2023-06-01*

I really loved this game, because it had no weird distractions- irrelevant side quests or scavenger hunts to get rerouted and lost in, no special magic gems, keys, or wheels to spin, or redundant lengthy award presentations that just allow for more guilt trips and ads. I also like that you can move around, so if you get stuck on one puzzle you can move on and go back whenever. That's a great feature!
However. We need more! Where's our new challenges? Pretty please!
I only had one glitch in one puzzle- the answer was "tricycle" but it wouldn't accept that. It wanted "tricylce" or some misspelled version.
Anyway, thanks for everything, we appreciate your time working on new puzzles!

**Developer response:** Hey Cornisa!
I really appreciate your feedback 😊
Thank you for mentioning the tricycle, really sorry you had to experience that 🙈
It's getting fixed in the newest update

New puzzles will be added eventually
