### 4/5 — Great game

*2021-01-03, version 5.0*

I love playing this game, but I can't seem to record my score

### 4/5 — Ads on wordsmith

*2019-08-29*

Several ads are extremely offensive- even to the point words are deleted - remember this is also accessed by children

Also I am very tired of the constant interruptions by pollsters

### 4/5 — Love that I can play it alone! :)

Just downloaded it today and love it. I think it could be very addictive.

### 5/5 — Fun for Your Brain

*2013-04-01, version 2.4*

This is a fun brain exercise cleverly disguised as a game.  Love it!

### 5/5 — Dan

*2013-03-20, version 2.4*

Outstanding!

### 4/5 — Good game

*2013-03-14*

I really enjoy this game, but it seems to go on forever.  Even on the lightning setting the time just doesn't seem to move very fast.  After about 250+ words I get bored and move on.

I think maybe making it a little bit faster on the higher levels would make for a better game experience for fast players.

### 5/5 — Addicted

I love playing this game. I get to sharpen my spelling skills while sharpening my mind at the same time have fun! Plus learn new words.

### 5/5 — Fun game

Addicting!

### 4/5 — Wordsmith

*2013-02-09*

I enjoy this game. The options give me a chance to play at different levels,depending how smart I feel.  Got stuck a couple of times, but it usually plays smoothly.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Word Smith

*2012-07-01, version 2.1*

Cannot get score to post under best high score.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2012-10-02, version 2.3*

I do get addicted to the game but I think some of the things it accepts are bogus... They are mistakes but it accepts it as a word

### 2/5 — Ad Removal?

*2012-03-25*

I paid for ad removal and even though the ads are gone, in their place is just a black bar that says "Ad" in grey.  Usually, when one pays to remove ads, that ad space is used for more of the game.  It doesn't just stay black with the word "Ad" on it.  Please fix this!

### 2/5 — Boring

*2012-03-21, version 1.0*

Good concept, but gets boring after awhile.

### 3/5 — Word Smith Puzzle

*2013-11-20*

I like the game, but it does not record your game scores, which is something I like to see.  I like words so it challenges me to find words which is fun.  If I could keep up with the score I would like it better.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2012-11-08, version 2.3*

Ok game. Good way to pass the time.

### 3/5 — Alright, but still plays sounds when muted?!?!

*2012-03-16*

See title

### 4/5 — Love it / but has bug

Word smith
Tues 13 Feb 2024

Enjoyable and not garish colours unlike some others out there. Some words that are in the dictionary are not recognised so, 4/ 5. 

Please fix this.
Regards

### 4/5 — Love it, but

*2023-01-09*

It only shows last score. I would like to compete against myself. 
It would be great if I could see at least 3 of my highest plays.
I just don’t feel as if I am getting anywhere. 
 Thank you

### 4/5 — Love this game

*2021-05-20, version 5.0*

I have owned this game for a number of years. Only lately I cannot record highest scores. Please repai this

### 5/5 — Very good game

*2025-12-21, version 6.0*

It becomes quite obsessive….an excellent way to pass the time as it is both entertaining and educational.

### 5/5 — Has everything needed

*2023-01-04*

Has everything needed, different settings but nothing for ad free option :(

### 5/5 — Excellent for language learners

*2018-12-20*

I use this app to supplement my learning of German.  I was amazed at how it has helped me to improve my ability to quickly recognize written German.

As an aside, it would be nice if a mode existed where I could set a limit of words to a game, for example ten.  Once the limit is reached, the game would end and post to the high score list if applicable.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2017-07-15*

Keeps your mind sharp and quick
Love the timed setting...great stress reliever

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2016-01-17, version 2.9*

This us a great word game. Some of the words it accepts are a bit obscure & it doesn't recognise others that are more common. Having said this, if is a great game. The better you are, the longer the game goes on.

### 5/5 — Definitely a Game you will enjoy!!

*2015-08-20*

Fun and addictive!! I highly Recommend to all...

### 5/5 — Great fun!

### 5/5 — Challenging

*2014-03-25, version 2.6*

Great game, definitely gets the brain working.

### 5/5 — Simple but addictive

*2014-01-02, version 2.6*

I don't normally play games but this is a great game to play when you've got a couple of minutes to kill.
