So I download this app, opened the only puzzle that was unlocked (a tutorial, I assumed?) and after moving a few letters to their obvious locations, the app became unresponsive. So I tried to use the “hints”, even thought I didn’t need them, because I through that might trigger this apparent “tutorial” to allow me to finish the puzzle. NOPE! All that happened was that the app drained the coins I was given every time I tapped the “hint” button. But there was nothing else in the app that was responsive besides the hint button??? What else was I supposed to tap???? I didn’t even need a hint! And I couldn’t move the tiles where I wanted! The design and functionality of this app in its current form is total garbage. Let’s hope they fix it soon. Otherwise don’t bother downloading it. ### 4/5 — Love *2020-08-15* I absolutely love this game. Please fix one thing though. When I put a letter on the grid and I decide I want to remove it, please allow us to only click on the letter again and it will go back to its place by itself. And please make more levels. I’m already finished. Thank you ### 5/5 — Hidden gem *2020-08-14* This game is the best! Why aren’t more people playing it!? ### 5/5 — Finished... *2020-04-04* Finished all levels, starting over. Please add more levels! ### 4/5 — Hard! *2019-06-22* Really needs a reset button!! And maybe some smaller puzzles to start with? Not sure my brain is up for it but I’d bet word game lovers would like it. ### 4/5 — Great game, needs some upgrades *2019-03-30* Love this puzzle! Challenging, but not difficult. Please add an "undo" option and a "clear board" option--it's annoying having to clear the board by moving each letter back to it's starting point. Also, please add a space between the letters and the playing board to delineate which letters are on the board and which have yet to be played. ### 5/5 — great game, *2019-03-20* but YES PLEASE fix the coloring!!! ### 4/5 — Great Game , needs update *2019-02-22* I downloaded this game yesterday. I try to play it but the color scheme on the board needs some improvement. The tiles seem to blend in too much making it hard to know which are unused letters versus letters in play. If not for that, it would be rated 5. It's a good game .... just make easier to play :) ### 1/5 — Word slide coin purchase failed *2019-01-24* Paid to buy more coins but they failed to load onto the game despite money being taken from the bank ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-12-09* Needs an updated. ## Frequently asked questions about Word Slide Crosswords ### What is the gameplay like in Word Slide Crosswords?
