### 3/5 — Looong Ads

*2026-06-18, version 2.23.0*

Ads are way too long and are complicated to get out of for such a short game. It used to be fun and challenging earning level names. It’s been simplified.

### 3/5 — FYI

*2026-01-31, version 2.23.0*

The game is fun if you like finding words games.. and starts out with two games and then an ad. Within about 60 games you start getting one game..one ad.. and then it just becomes annoying.

### 3/5 — Vocabulary

*2026-01-20, version 2.23.0*

I’ve enjoyed playing this for quite a while, earning a daily letter toward a word.  Most of the words were either unknown to me at the time or I rarely used them, but I appreciated them.

Recently, that feature has been disabled, which to me, greatly reduces the desire to play.

Please consider deactivating that feature.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2026-01-15, version 2.23.0*

To death, I keep seeing another game when advert after when you playing your own game pain in the arse

### 3/5 — Vocab gone?

*2026-01-03, version 2.23.0*

What happened to the vocabulary builder section?

### 3/5 — How can we get rid of ads

*2025-11-28, version 2.22.0*

The game is fun but the ads can drive one to distraction.  How can you get rid of them?

Also Temu ad is faulty. After watching the painful add and trying to click on the x to close, it takes you to the Temu site. Deleting app in frustration

### 2/5 — Ads

*2025-10-11, version 2.22.0*

To many ads!!!

### 3/5 — .

*2025-04-01, version 2.21.0*

A great brain game. But too many ads

### 2/5 — Annoying Ads

*2025-03-11, version 2.21.0*

The pop-up Ads, will really annoy you, especially the ones that make it hard to close, with hidden buttons. Think strongly before you download. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

### 2/5 — Good game but crashes

*2025-03-06, version 2.21.0*

Downgraded to 2 stars because of crashes. Today the ad for Coco Beach Florida locked up.   I made a screen shot but cannot get it to attach to this review. App support server will not open to leave a comment.  Developers need to review the ads they accept. 

I would probably give 4 or even 5 stars but it crashes regularly and must be restarted. Even had to reboot my pad a few times. The ads are not too annoying and the puzzles fun to solve. I see other reviews from a couple of years ago that say the same. The problem has obviously not been fixed.

### 3/5 — Inappropriate Ads

*2025-01-18, version 2.20.3*

Recently, I have seen very very inappropriate ads shown in your game. The ad is sexual in nature and very demeaning to women. You need to review the ads that are being pushed to your game.

### 3/5 — Different levels

*2024-10-29, version 2.20.3*

There used to be two levels on this game, but there doesn't appear to be a switchover anymore how do you get on the harder level as I'm getting fed up with the easy one

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Scam advertisements

*2026-06-28, version 2.23.0*

Why would an app support so many scam advertisements?

### 1/5 — Adverts 🤬🤬

*2026-04-17, version 2.23.0*

The adverts are worse than every !

### 1/5 — Don’t play

*2025-09-22, version 2.22.0*

The adverts have horrendous, they take you straight to web site some don’t have a close button so you have to close the game to get rid of them. No stars

### 1/5 — Backward step

*2025-05-17, version 2.21.0*

Just opened the app and it said that T&C are updated. I accept and then when the app opens it is pack to game 1, not where I left off.
I closed the app after playing several games, re opened a few minutes later and it goes through the same process again and back to game 1.

Pointless me continuing to play if this is going to happen each time I go back to the game.

### 1/5 — Annoying Ads which you cant close down

*2025-05-02, version 2.21.0*

Found this very annoying today that it displayed an Ad which didn’t have a cross button to exit it.  It was for some stupid staircase lift Ad.  You shouldn’t allow these types whatsoever.  I understand you need to make money from the App but you shouldn’t allow Ads which you can’t close down thus losing your daily reward.  Not good

### 1/5 — Your advertisement not needed

*2025-02-23, version 2.21.0*

To many advertisements ,especially the women that do not need to be showing there body in that way .

### 1/5 — Used to be a good game but ads ruined it

*2025-01-11, version 2.20.3*

I used to love this game but the ads have become utterly obnoxious. Interrupting games randomly, noisy ads when I have all sounds turned off, drowning out my audiobooks. I’m going to have to find a new game. This one’s no good anymore.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2024-11-17, version 2.20.3*

There are way too many ads. You watch ads more than you get to play

### 1/5 — Ruined by banner ads

*2024-07-28, version 2.20.0*

I liked this game but permanently running ads across the letter choice are is just beyond annoying!

### 1/5 — Mobilityware Word Wiz malicious site ads

*2024-06-16, version 2.20.0*

The game was fine until about a week ago. Then ads started popping up that my protection blocked saying they were malicious websites. The ads varied but the site that was always blocked was continuoslyshop dot com. The ad that was showing was not for that site. It’s like that site hijacked the ad. Sorry, but deleting the app. It’s not worth the risk

### 5/5 — Ads Won't Close

*2026-06-02, version 2.23.0*

i've been playing this game for a really long time. Lately, there are ads that will not close and you have to force close the game. This is very frustrating, especially when playing the rewards game. It does no good to report them to support. They don't do anything about it. I am about ready to just give it up. It isn't worth the aggravation!
============================================
Your response to me was, and I quote: "We'd like to get this fixed right away, however, we need more details. After force closing your app, please submit an in-game message via Settings » Support » Contact Us. In that message so that our team can get the info needed to more accurately assist you! We hope to hear from you soon!"
============================================
Gaslight much? I stated 'there are ads that will not close and you have to force close the game'. It would be safe to assume that force closing the app had been done!!! Add to that, 'It does no good to report them to support' could mean that a REPORT WAS MADE and you respond you need more details. What? Screen shots and filing a complaint via your in-game message portal isn't good enough? What would be better would be MOBILITYWARE monitor and notify their advertisers their time limits are abusive OR, MOBILITYWARE remove the statement that you can close ads after 5 seconds.

### 5/5 — Word Wiz - Connect Words Game

*2026-03-07, version 2.23.0*

I Like Playing Word Wiz - Connect Words Game.

### 5/5 — Bot players

*2026-02-25, version 2.23.0*

I don’t know what you call it but I call it bot players.  Players that pop up and are rapid to return a play.  They are not in my friend’s group that I play with.  I think they are computer generated.  What I don’t understand is they close the game and I can still play and if I had the chance to play, I would win.  I just played one of these and they closed the game with the bot winning by only about 6 points.  If I had been able to play my last two letters, I would have gotten an additional 27 points and won the game.  This happens ALL the time.  I’ve gotten to the point I’ve started declining their invite to play.

### 5/5 — Hi

### 5/5 — Old word wiz

*2025-02-03, version 2.20.3*

I accidentally deleted my old Word Wiz. I’ve been playing it forever six years now and I could not retrieve it back so now I have to start all over again.

### 5/5 — Amazing Brain game

*2024-12-28, version 2.20.3*

Great games for working the mind!

### 5/5 — Stops at 1565!!!
