Puzzles are fun but can only complete a few before being asked to rate and unlock other levels. ### 5/5 — Great for the kids *2017-06-28, version 1.9* Got this app for my nieces and nephews when they borrow my phone I only allow them to play puzzle games. This one works perfectly. ### 5/5 — Yaaaas!! *2017-06-02, version 1.9* I love this game!! So many puzzles to choose from. It helps keep my 8 year old occupied while we're at the doctors office or out for dinner and waiting on food. It also helps her look for words she may have never seen before! Great game! ### 5/5 — Fun fun *2017-06-01, version 1.9* Love word finds an better now I can play them on my iPhone an passes time away to don't understand why you have to do all this to unlock more but o well it's a good game ### 5/5 — A hunting we will go *2017-05-01, version 1.9* I am enjoying the easy to read word layouts will color too! Great game of fun to do even if you only have few minutes or less and just like that , you've completely finished that round. Enjoy your time away. This is a game for all to play at the same time and compare scores to see who won the game on time. This game also has the opportunity to learn how to spell words. It's a great opportunity all around. ### 5/5 — Time and games *2017-04-29, version 1.9* Seconds turn to minutes. Lessons of life spent. Might as well have some skills to pass the moment. Glad to say it can be turned off, and I get to walk away and do something productive. ### 5/5 — REVIEW TO UNLOCK *2017-04-29, version 1.9* Like everyone else I'm forced to give a 5 star review in order to unlock the game. I'm sure there will be other stipulation as well as I progress through the levels or in-app purchases later. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2017-03-30, version 1.9* in car at night= no light for paperback word search book but with this on my mobile, its so much easier and I'm never bored anymore ### 5/5 — Fun and addicting *2017-03-17, version 1.9* I haven't even played one level. I'm required to write this to unlock levels! Wow so much fun I can't put it down! ### 5/5 — Bold, Optimistic Outlook! *2017-03-12, version 1.9* I love the contrast of the complexities of this game to the ease of other games. Most games use easy, weird graphics, but let me tell you — This game has a complex and optimistic graphical look. ### 5/5 — Good when waiting for food *2017-03-05, version 1.9* We came to Texas Road House and had. 45 minute wait time. This game made it easy and enjoyable to wait all this time! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-03-03, version 1.9* Thanks for the challenges on the game it's nice to use your brain and think it's not hard it's just simple fun and it's good for the eyes and brain thanks for the fun games I do very much enjoy them! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-02-27, version 1.9* I honestly love this game. You can change the category once you have mastered all the levels and it's a great way to pass time while still engaging ur brain ! ### 5/5 — Colorful and easy to use *2017-01-28, version 1.9* The different colors on the words makes it easier to see what you've found. Very smooth, easy to use interface. Nice little reward trumpets sound when finished. Games are relatively short but challenging enough even at the easiest level to keep it interesting. Lots of categories to choose from. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Only ok *2017-01-09, version 1.9* I am not a fan of an app that makes you give a five star review to unlock more puzzles. I only did one puzzle because I got frustrated when several words I had highlighted (and they showed up properly on the top of the screen) wouldn't "take." I had to keep repeatedly highlighting them to finally get the app to accept them. ### 3/5 — Sensitive *2017-07-07, version 1.9* It takes a few swipes to get it to recognize the word you've found and that's annoying. Other than that, it's a basic word search game and that's what I was looking for. ### 3/5 — Really!!! *2016-10-22, version 1.9* I've been playing this game for a few months loved it until now. I have to give u a rating to unlock what was unlocked before. Plus u want 5 stars ... not gonna happen when u force the issue ### 4/5 — Game review *2021-11-14, version 1.9* This is a fun game. I enjoy it when I need a break and just want to keep busy but also keep my mind sharp. Would recommend to anyone who wants something to keep busy. ### 4/5 — Puzzles Recue *2018-07-20, version 1.9* These puzzles are simple, but they’re great for killing time when your stuck somewhere and when you just don’t want to think too hard. I enjoy them. ### 4/5 — Required review but worth it. *2018-04-21, version 1.9* I’ve enjoyed the word puzzles enough that I’ve looked up the developer to see what else they have available. So far I’ve seen a couple of things I’ll check out as I have the time. The only thing that even comes close to being a problem is the lack of information; (readme file); on how to play the games like flow and blocked. It took me I while to figure out how to play. Please add instructions! ### 4/5 — Interesting *2018-04-13, version 1.9* This is a great way to pass time even if you don’t have a lot of it. I really like that they use different colors to show the difference between the words. It makes it easier to differentiate the overlaps. Good for anybody to play. There’s a good variety of puzzles. ### 4/5 — Requires review to unlock *2017-11-26, version 1.9* Is the find word search game. It is a good way to kill time. Will continue to play right now. The game requires you to write a review so that you can walk part of it flat 59 it’s usually a fun game don’t like commercials but I guess you have to you that I’m usingSpeak to text so sorry this may not sound or read correctly ### 4/5 — Fun *2016-06-23, version 1.9* This app helps to kill some time while commuting. I haven't played too many of the different levels yet, but so far it's pretty straight forward and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Fun, relaxing and interesting *2022-11-23, version 1.9* I love this game it helps keep me relaxed, I’ve always loved crossword puzzles growing up but hated to always have to carry a book of crosswords around. So this game is very convenient for me ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Word search… A fun game to play *2022-05-31, version 1.9* I love being able to de-dress searching for words and it is very relaxing, it never gets boring for me. ### 5/5 — Ruth *2020-09-15, version 1.9* Word search is a fast paste game that allow you to race again your self because it is timed. It is also fun to challenge your school as children, while improving their vocabulary in specific subjects Plus it is a game you can enjoy while standing in line waiting to be served at various businesses. Helps time pass quick. This is a relaxing way to just sit back and relax on a nice day outside or in the park. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2020-01-15, version 1.9* I like the layout of the game and the fact that there are so many categories.
