The animals are SO uncommon, it should allow extra time just for learning the spelling! When you are down to just 1 word and the timer runs out....bummer man! Extra time should be given when one score several in a row. ### 5/5 — jigsaws *2014-05-02, version 1.0.1* I like the jigsaw puzzles, yes I would recommend the game. ### 5/5 — Make you think *2014-04-18, version 1.0.1* I really enjoy this as it gives my brain a work out ### 3/5 — Challenging and absorbing. You had to work pretty hard to come up with all those animal names that *2014-02-12, version 1.0.1* names that no one has ever heard of ### 4/5 — Word swipe *2014-01-25, version 1.0.1* With book crosswords you can take as much time as you wish....here I've got to remember I'm on a time frame, so you have to think faster and search faster!!! Enjoy it!! ### 5/5 — Game *2014-01-24, version 1.0.1* It's a good game and I did enjoy playing it and would say too my friend get in on there.phone. Jeff ### 5/5 — Goode *2013-09-26, version 1.0.1* Education and motivation game ### 5/5 — True! *2013-09-14, version 1.0.1* Truly enjoyable and addicting game! ### 4/5 — Game *2013-09-07, version 1.0.1* Easily addictive. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2016-04-09, version 1.0.3* Husband got me addicted to he game on his phone. However, when I downloaded the program on my iPad, it kept crashing. So disappointed. Removed game from iPad. ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2016-01-11, version 1.0.3* Downloaded the app several times thinking I was doing something wrong. It will not open. Crashes after the title page. ### 1/5 — It won't open *2016-01-02, version 1.0.3* I like that you aren't timed so you can solve each puzzle. But it stopped opening on my iPad. So I had to go into the App Store to open it. Now it doesn't open there either. So I can't play the game. Can you fix it, please? ### 1/5 — What gives? *2015-12-28, version 1.0.3* I was excited to find a free word search game. The only problem is it crashes immediately upon opening. I erased the app and downloaded it again, with the same result. Why, oh why did you send out an app without proper testing? ### 1/5 — Not good *2013-11-17, version 1.0.1* Do not get this app ### 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. ### 2/5 — WordSwipe *2014-05-23, version 1.0.1* Good game but gives ONLY 2 pks to try out! Entertains, but need more! ### 2/5 — Getting Old! *2013-06-16, version 1.0.1* Why doesn't it start with an easy mode? Too difficult - too little time :-( ### 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! ### 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 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun, entertaining *2025-02-01, version 1.0.4* I enjoy taking a break and playing these short games, its addicting… ### 5/5 — Word swipe *2021-09-26, version 1.0.4* Challenging! ### 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! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Word swipe free *2019-01-20, version 1.0.4* I like this game ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2015-08-09, version 1.0.2* Love it!!!! ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging *2015-03-22, version 1.0.2* Congrats excellent, thanks ### 5/5 — Good fun *2014-07-30, version 1.0.1* If you have a few minutes to spare this game is fun ,lots of different subjects to keep it interesting . --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
