Game just doesn’t work and I can’t open it now. ### 3/5 — Why is the game not working? *2025-05-25, version 2.1* I used to love this game but it's no longer letting me play. I also had the lifetime no ads and it feels really stupid that you can't play anymore. ### 3/5 — word thread *2025-05-22, version 2.1* doesn’t even let me play anymore ### 4/5 — reviewing itttt *2025-05-17, version 2.1* it’s very fun & gives me a challenge to complete. I use this to make time go by faster, which definitely works. It does get annoying though because sometimes it has glitches where it says I have no connection/wifi when i have full bars on my wifi & my cellular data so it confuses me. Other than that, it’s addicting to play & fun to guess with friends too. Also, very fun to play against friends!! ### 4/5 — Can You Make A Dark Mode? *2025-04-07, version 2.1* Playing your game on live and want a dark mode so comments can be seen better…thank you. ### 2/5 — SO SLOW *2024-12-27, version 2.0* So I saw this game on a TikTok live, I thought “oh this looks fun” so I downloaded it. Boom. First level, it takes 5 minutes to load in? Not my WiFi. It’s just fine. Finally get in the game, and I get a word right “Yay!” I thought. Then boom. It takes another minute to get to the next level? I’m angry at this point. I retry to put the word in, and it goes through! But now I’m out of a life. I’m so angry I just delete it. I will try to Find an alternative or something ### 2/5 — mid *2024-11-27, version 2.0* it won’t stop lagging and it won’t stop existing out ### 3/5 — It’s to laggy *2024-11-27, version 2.0* It’s such a good game it’s just really laggy and I want to play it on long car rides but it needs WiFi and j don’t like if that much because of WiFi and laggyness ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-11-03, version 2.0* Game won’t even load. Waste of time. Zero stars. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-11-03, version 2.0* The game doesn’t load. When it does it doesn’t even show the words to play, it just shows the submit button and that’s it.

It takes 5 minutes just to complete one word because it takes forever to load. I thought it was my internet, but it’s literally just the game. Slow and unresponsive…literal GARBAGE. Don’t even waste your time. Find a better alternative. ### 1/5 — Buffering *2024-11-25, version 2.0* The game itself is good but it forces you to have wifi so it can give you ads and it always buffers for no reason ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game *2025-08-06, version 2.1* This game is so nice I love playing it is challenging but I love it soooo much ### 5/5 — Dark mode pls pls *2025-04-18, version 2.1* My live and viewers love this game but it’s hard to see the boxes due to the white background.
