### 5/5 — Fun, entertaining

*2025-02-01, version 1.0.4*

I enjoy taking a break and playing these short games, its addicting…

### 4/5 — Fun so addictive

*2023-05-03, version 1.0.4*

But I would also enjoy a version with being able to turn off the timer to finish the puzzle in leisure

### 5/5 — Word swipe

*2021-09-26, version 1.0.4*

Challenging!

### 2/5 — Crashes and sound issues

*2020-08-11, version 1.0.4*

This game is fun, but the full version now just crashes constantly. I also don’t like that I have to go in to settings every single time I open the game and manually turn off the sound. If I turn off the sound once, that should be it...I shouldn’t have to do it every time I open the app. It also doesn’t fully turn off the sound. At the end of every game, the stars you earned for that game make a ticking sound when they light up. If I click the option to turn the sound off...the sounds of the entire game should be off.

### 3/5 — Please Change This

*2020-04-24, version 1.0.4*

Please make it so you can turn off the timer if you want to!  Also if you don’t finish on time please don’t say you failed! That is so negative! You can say try again, are you will do better next time!  If you made these changes I would give you 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Totally Engrossing!

*2020-03-01, version 1.0.4*

I love this game! It is very challenging with the timer and unfamiliar words, but it is fun trying to improve your level. I get so engrossed in it some days that I can spend a couple hours playing it. Fun to learn the new words also.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-01-28, version 1.0.4*

The timing needs to be longer for uncommon words but It was amazing to learn new words and to race your own intelligence.

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2019-10-12, version 1.0.4*

Finding this game very challenging and addictive! I really am enjoying playing it!

### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating

*2019-04-13, version 1.0.4*

Have to keep restarting game. It’s fun but frustrating when you have to delete game and reload every few days

### 5/5 — This game is fun

*2019-02-12, version 1.0.4*

Word search games are very boring for me but this timed version is addictive!
