I AM ADDICTED. This game has no ads which makes it even better and it has these many quests where you spin the wheel and guess the letters to make a word for money. So fun. ### 5/5 — My experience *2024-12-31, version 4.1* The no ad is a great part makes you really engage with the game and next thing you no you are hooked ### 4/5 — Makes you think! *2024-11-29, version 3.8* Bit of a brain teaser🥹 ### 5/5 — ** word Game fun *2024-11-29, version 3.8* L.1, like it ### 5/5 — MS Juanita *2024-11-25, version 3.8* Hey this is fun and I am enjoying every second of it.

Anyway this game has no ads and is very entertaining! You should get this game, IT IS SO SIGMA!!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-11-23, version 3.8* I love this game it’s fun and challenging with the twist and turns of the words . Great for stress ### 5/5 — I like this s game 💯 *2024-11-10, version 3.7* I like this game cause it strengthens your IQ. It makes you smarter and helps with school.I think there is nothing wrong with this game it is awesome. ### 4/5 — Ad matches game *2024-11-02, version 3.7* One of the few games where the ad matches the actual game play.

Now bottom of screen ads show up regularly. Even after paying to remove ads paid “special offers” also show up frequently and prominently. iPad version crashes regularly and will only work after a full restart. The game design and levels are pretty good, it would be nice with some ability to adjust level difficulty and make it less linear, as well as levels where all words are hidden. But maybe the developer is too focused on ads and monetization. ### 1/5 — Paying for Ad Removal Doesn’t Remove Ads *2024-05-01, version 2.3* Title says it all - ads are removed between levels but not at the bottom of the screen which is visible all the time. Requested a refund from Apple and haven’t received it. ### 2/5 — Diamonds? Friends? Support Response??? Good game otherwise. *2026-07-26, version 5.23* I like the game play of searching for a word list that only gives you the first couple of letters. Very challenging sometimes! My issues are I have no idea how to collect diamonds, which apparently are needed to complete your daily reward (along with playing 30 games and spinning the wheel 10 times). And there is a tournament page with a Friends tab, but no clear way to find & add friends. No replies from the app team either after multiple emails…so that’s not great. ### 3/5 — New update *2025-11-14, version 4.18* I had to delete the app because when I would try and play it, would tell me to update the app and when I would go it just says open. ### 3/5 — Great app but, *2024-02-17, version 1.6* Great app very enjoyable but after most recent update without fail crashes every time a level is completed which is incredibly frustrating ### 4/5 — It’s OK *2026-07-07, version 5.23* It’s kind of boring, but it’s also kind of fun. You can get it if you want, but I wouldn’t exactly recommend it as like a time killer or something to get you out of boredom. ### 4/5 — Diamonds? Friends? Good game otherwise *2026-06-12, version 5.23* I like the game play of searching for a word list that only gives you the first couple of letters. Very challenging sometimes! My issues are I have no idea how to collect diamonds, which apparently are needed to complete your daily reward (along with playing 30 games and spinning the wheel 10 times). And there is a tournament page with a Friends tab, but no clear way to find & add friends. ### 4/5 — Good but… *2024-12-14, version 3.9* It has got a few ads but it helps your brain so much and it is so fun.I have been playing it almost every day. You get to unlock lots of new levels. ### 4/5 — Really good but something that needs to be improved though *2024-12-14, version 3.9* The game is really good but when you do that bunny race sometimes you have breaks after like 1 or 2 and everyone is else is going to win because they might be getting mess adverts or easier levels. I think when you play that rabbit race don’t make us do adverts give us adverts after we have finished the race ### 4/5 — Game *2024-12-04, version 3.9* It a very good game but you can make it a bit harder to do Thanks you Sana ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FUN!!

Just one problem *2025-07-05, version 4.5* My favourite game! I play nearly every day. But have just run into some a problem. For the last two days I have been unable to join the bunny race. Don’t know why. The option to join is there but it just sits at zero. It used to show your progress but now it doesn’t. No clue why. Would love ultimate get this feature back. Help! ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!! *2025-05-27, version 4.4* Honestly best game i have usually i get bored of games after a couple days but im hooked on this one i’ve had it just over 3 weeks and im level 600.
