User reviews

Doesn't work on latest ios version

Just crashes, can't even open it. I obviously shouldn't have bought something updated 6yrs ago.

Poor, boring design

No thought goes into solving these puzzles; it’s entirely attrition.

Quite challenging

Very enjoyable, although it really helps to have a broad vocabulary as there are quite a lot of obscure words in later rounds. I found I just had to guess a few of them.

Don’t buy clues unless you are at puzzle 75

This game is great until you reach puzzle number 90. It’s stuck there. Maybe there are not more puzzles. Who knows?

Excellent, but one small shortcoming

Wonderful game and hours of fun!

The only thing it lacks is a solved puzzle retrospective, allowing you to examine the words and maybe even their definitions.

The way it works now, where you get an “Excellent!” and a pleasing chime, doesn’t let you check that you know what all the words are/mean, before going automatically to the next puzzle.

Still a great game, though!
