### 5/5 — Exciting

*2025-04-12, version 2025.04*

This game is not like your average run of the mill games. It helps to keep your mind sharp. I have always loved solving puzzles and I think this one is a definite keeper.

### 5/5 — Me

*2025-03-27, version 2025.03*

Not into Hollywood. This is making me much more fluent in casual conversation. 

Thanks, David

### 5/5 — Best addicted game….Ever !

*2024-12-12*

Of all the games from Hoyt Entertainment ( thought I’d add a classy title here), Word Search World Hollywood has got to be the best game ( next to Just Jumble) ever. It is guaranteed to sharpen your mind and might add …very addictive but in a good way way, no long term ads like most games have one thing about Hoyt games is they sure make the user experience a pleasant one

### 5/5 — Oh no

*2024-12-08*

I am hooked. I too can not stop playing. 
I suprise myself sometimes that I know the answer. I was in an elevator accident fell 5 floors I am living with many issues. I believe this game helps me a lot with thinking process, patterns awaking memories etc. 
thank for adding new all the time.

### 5/5 — Hollywood Word search

This is a great game

### 5/5 — Fun but challenging

*2024-11-19, version 2024.11*

I love this game. I have to think but it’s not draining. Caution- it can be addicting.

### 4/5 — Fun game!

*2024-11-09, version 2024.11*

Enjoying this app very much!  Keep up the great work!!

### 5/5 — Best word search

I’ve been playing this for years and I love it! The only thing is I wish there were more with the wild stars. They’re my favorite! I have the world traveler word search too! Well actually I have all the David L. Hoyt games. As long as they exist I’ll keep playing.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2024-11-13, version 2024.11*

Today there was 1 minute and 20 seconds of ads between games.  The Vogue ad is particularly annoying.   I’m getting to the point of stopping playing because of the ads.  Really, 3 different ads between games.  ☹️

### 1/5 — Needs a shuffle feature

*2024-02-26, version 2024.02*

Needs a shuffle feature

### 1/5 — Check your facts!

*2023-03-21, version 2023.3*

Correction needed for best picture of 2012.

### 1/5 — Too many date errors!

*2022-05-10*

I expected I would need a lot of help because I’m no pop-culture guru. In order to get help, the dates of awards, for example, need to match what’s on the internet. I needed 5 hints in the last puzzle I did (best actress winners), and when I looked them up, the dates did not match. I suspect the dates used were year a movie was released instead of the year the actress won the award. I don’t care why they are wrong. I’m tossing this fish back into the word game ocean.

**Developer response:** Thank you for letting us know about the ambiguity in that particular puzzle! We've fixed the issue so as to not cause confusion in the future.

### 2/5 — Fun until ad……

*2023-10-05, version 2023.9*

The Solitaire Tri Peaks ad ruins the game.  It locks the game in a ad that will not complete its run and allow a return to the app.

### 3/5 — Clever puzzles but…

*2025-12-17, version 2025.12*

Too many clues to puzzles about new movies and TV shows. Not enough about the golden age of Hollywood. Also, why does the author find it necessary to paste his image on every nag screen? Ads are way too long.

### 3/5 — Repetitious

*2025-03-06, version 2025.02*

Too many of the same people in the puzzles. Too many of the long ones also.

### 3/5 — See & Solve

*2024-08-18, version 2024.08*

I like word games the best, such as this one. However I never use vowels so all those points don’t really help me. I keep thinking I’m missing something here…
Vowels for sale….would you like to buy an “O?”

### 3/5 — old fashioned

*2024-06-05*

you definitely need to be 40+ i reckon to get these answers. very old fashioned. lots of ads too

### 3/5 — Having fun but…

*2023-04-09, version 2023.3*

I don’t like apps that can only be used in portrait orientation

*2026-06-29, version 2026.06*

I find this word search very entertaining. Like all offerings from David L Hoyt it is challenging without being frustrating. I watch a lot of tv and movies but I still learn something new everyday.

### 5/5 — Love this game!!

*2026-06-29*

Wonderful game that is not too easy and not too hard.  Great if you want to take a break for 5 minutes or play for an hour!  All the games put out by David L. Hoyt are stellar!!

### 5/5 — Down load the app. So much fun.

*2026-06-29, version 2026.06*

Gets your mind thinking. You’re gonna love it, just try it.

### 5/5 — Fun if you like word searches!

*2026-06-28, version 2026.06*

I like David Hoyt puzzles.  This is fun.  Takes concentration. Hard for me because I’m not into movies, but I have found myself going back to it often to challenge myself
