This game is very fun please add Latin American geography to the geography puzzles! It would mean a lot to me! ### 4/5 — Great but ads *2026-05-21, version v1.0.27* As above — great fun game with a good back catalogue to play through, just comes with ads when trying to play the back catalogue, but I suppose that’s to be expected for a free game. ### 2/5 — Was good *2026-04-26, version v1.0.24* All was good till I bought the ad free version, then I couldn’t get hints, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the app now I have to start the game from scratch and I can’t restore the ad free version I purchased when I go tap restore purchases. ### 3/5 — Fun but heavily monetised *2026-04-14, version v1.0.24* The game itself is enjoyable, but is overall soured by having to pay if you don’t want ads. If you don’t pay to remove ads, you get multiple several minute long garbage game adverts after every puzzle. You can skip them if you close and reopen the app but it’s still a pain to have to do it every single time ### 2/5 — Glitch galore *2026-03-29, version v1.0.24* Worthless game. It glitches anytime one of their ads pop up or if you play longer than two minutes. Actually embarrassing for how simple of an app it appears. ### 2/5 — SO DAMN LAGGY *2026-03-22, version v1.0.24* I have to reload and refresh every damn second. Fix the bug that’s makes it so laggy. Genuinely there’s no point in getting the app when the online is better with no ads but they make you pay to play more or download the app. If you’re going to make an app. DO IT BETTER. ### 4/5 — Crazy *2026-03-15, version v1.0.24* Very fun but sometimes very laggy ### 2/5 — Freezing *2026-03-09, version v1.0.24* Would love to play more but unfortunately the app keeps freezing on repeat. I have to rush to get an answer in before it freezes. ### 2/5 — Enjoy but freezes often *2026-03-08, version v1.0.24* I really enjoy this app and the puzzles but find that many times the app is too frozen to complete the puzzles. ### 3/5 — Ads don’t work *2026-03-04, version v1.0.24* Ads don’t work forcing you to buy hints. You have to force quit the app and restart it to get back to being able to play. If this gets fixed I’ll update my review. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Avoid *2026-08-16, version 1.0.30* The game feels like vibe-code some college kids decided to publish to squeeze out money from its players. Like other reviewers say, it’s super glitchy and missing a lot of polish for such a simple game made of old ideas. It doesn’t register achievements properly, elements don’t line up and the worst part is they lie to you. I bought the remove ads feature and it still displayed ads for their new book or game. There’s plenty of other better word games and I regret even downloading it in the first place. ### 1/5 — Fun game, terrible app *2026-07-21, version 1.0.28* Just play it on web browser, it’s faster with less ads and not a miserable experience. The app ruined all the fun of the game. Boooo ### 1/5 — Ads are not working *2026-05-30, version 1.0.28* In order to get a hint you have to watch an ad but the ads don’t work. You watch the entire thing and then it never lets you return to the game. The same thing has happened watching ads in between puzzles. I would happily pay for an ad-free version. Please make that available instead of this which will just make me uninstall the app. ### 1/5 — Go back to before last update *2026-05-19, version v1.0.27* It’s rubbish since you ask for review everyday! Slowed everything down! Used to love it ### 1/5 — The daily word salads are so mid *2026-04-27, version v1.0.24* sometimes it’ll be common themes but today was “where wine comes from…” AND ITALY ISNT EVEN THERE. they throw random niche words and it’s not just in the daily one. great concept terrible execution ### 1/5 — It would have had 5 stars if not for the CONSTANT FREEZING! *2026-03-29, version v1.0.24* The app constantly freezing annoyed me particularly when I’ve purchased one of the modules (and had intended to purchase more…). A good app ruined so I’ll be offloading it and getting a refund. ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing *2026-03-19, version v1.0.24* Fun game, I’ve had to delete and redownload several times and lose all progress because it keeps freezing. This time half of the daily puzzle was done that I did not do. The answers that were on the bottom did not even line up with the letters left ### 1/5 — Fun Concept, Garbage App *2026-03-18, version v1.0.24* These puzzles seem fun, at least for the first hour or so. Since then, the app slows down or freezes entirely, and nothing fixes it. Doesn’t matter if you restart the phone, hard restart the app, close all other phone apps, it’s now a useless piece of junk that I deleted from my phone. Find something else!! ### 1/5 — Freezing *2026-03-03, version v1.0.24* Please fix the game. It freezes as soon as I open it and cannot play ### 1/5 — pls fix this game *2026-03-02, version v1.0.24* freezes ALL the time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Annoying feedback *2026-07-28, version 1.0.28* Stop asking me for feedback ### 5/5 — Quick puzzle entertainment *2026-06-26, version 1.0.28* Great game, been playing since it first came out. You can really tell they’re British though lol. ### 5/5 — Fun daily puzzle game *2026-05-26, version 1.0.28* Such a fun game, the daily puzzles go from super easy solved in a couple of seconds to hard AF that take at least half an hour to solve ### 5/5 — review every time i play *2026-05-23, version v1.0.27* it’s so annoying the consistency of asking me for a review every time i play ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-05-20, version v1.0.27* I can’t stop playing ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-16, version v1.0.27* Good game ### 5/5 — I love word salad *2026-04-14, version v1.0.24* Daily challenge to do it as fast as possible and beat my wife. Don’t like the silly random words that come up every so often ### 5/5 — word saald *2026-04-02, version v1.0.24* yummyyy ### 5/5 — Consistently Favourite Game *2026-02-24, version v1.0.24* This is one of the word games I look forward to doing everyday! I was so sad when I caught up to the archive of old puzzles and now realized I have to wait 24 hrs to play a new one. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — I like word salad *2026-02-23, version v1.0.24* Lowkey pmo sometimes but when I get it im really proud of myself so thanks or boosting my ego and serotonin levels!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
