### 3/5 — Unlimited hints would be nice

*2026-03-14*

Can you please give people who have paid to remove the ads unlimited hints?

### 5/5 — Long 10k word search is best

*2025-09-25*

I love largest wordsearch !!!!

### 5/5 — Sad

*2025-04-09*

I can’t start the app over anymore. It gives me an error. I loved playing a second time but it won’t let me play a third time.

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2025-03-25, version 1.20*

It’s so fun but it’s not letting me get the word PEZ.

### 4/5 — Error in puzzle

*2024-10-17*

In the Taylor Swift puzzle, you cannot get REVENGE to be selected. I’ve been trying for weeks. It is tied in to word NEVERMIND (which is backwards DNIMREVEN). Closing app and restarting multiple times does not help. I have gone through the puzzle line by line and I am sure this is the only line REVENGE is on, and there aren’t two of them accidentally in the puzzle. Since I only have 37 puzzles completed, I am quite a ways away from completing the puzzle. But would sure like to make it 38, with a fix. Otherwise I love the puzzle and have found it challenging. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2024-07-30*

I downloaded the game, finished 6-7 sections, and it quit working. I deleted and re-loaded it. After 4 sections, it quit again. More specifically, it won’t open. I’d like to complete it eventually, but not possible.

### 2/5 — Trouble completing

*2024-03-26*

Having trouble completing first word search words not there

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2023-11-26*

I absolutely love this app.  I wish it would update more levels.  I am almost done with it and I would do more!

### 5/5 — Great to play

*2023-11-15*

Brilliant word search which I’ve just finished, took me between 5-10 minutes per section. Would love another this size

### 5/5 — Background colors

*2023-10-20*

Love this word search puzzle. Just hard enough to make me determined to finish. Just wish background colors were much brighter to be a bigger contrast to the finished words. Hard on older eyes.
