There is no one on earth that can get that high a score in 2 minutes. The good thing is you can choose your own time, and then still see how the 2 min time went for others. ### 3/5 — Duplicate boards? *2026-01-18, version 0.1912* Having so much fun with this simple game. But… Why do I feel like I keep seeing the same letter combinations? ### 3/5 — Average boggle experience *2025-12-13* Tried it again searching for ads but couldn’t find any, has multiplayer but is difficult to set up. Not as many game types as the Xbox 360 version I played back in the day but still few good settings like: grid size, minimum word length and gameplay time length. Bland and unappealing 90’s pc game look to it. Overall decent game with limited issues but no outstanding qualities. ### 4/5 — please let me copy the multiplayer code *2025-02-14, version 0.1912* the inability to copy the long multiplayer code to share with whoever you’re playing with is a huge issue with this app. i shouldn’t have to write it on paper or take a screenshot. i should just be able to copy it. the app is great otherwise. ### 3/5 — Competitors *2024-10-27* It is so obvious that the scores of competitors is part of an algorithm that engineers me the player to continue playing. The better I get, the better my competitors get when I deliberately tank the game and scores drop so do the competitor scores. ### 4/5 — Great game, but one small problem w/ daily challenge *2023-05-16* Solid Boggle game without any major gimmicks, pay-to-win mechanics, or intrusive ads (there are ads for the free version, but they aren’t excessive like other mobile games). The only issue I have is with the daily challenge. It’s pretty clear to me that there are some people playing the daily challenge twice (it’s supposed to be a one-time game) resulting in some unnaturally high scores for the number of words found. I think they do it by playing on one account and then switching to another. Not sure if there’s a way to crack down on this, but would be nice if people played fair ### 4/5 — No frills, and I like that *2023-03-27, version v0.1890* Wordbox is pretty simple to play. And for $2, you can go ad free. Works for me. ### 3/5 — totally non random game *2023-03-16, version v0.1890* repeats the same words if you play 2 games in a row. also repeats a new word that you make in the next 2 games. disappointed. ### 5/5 — Word box *2023-03-16, version v0.1890* Cool wow wow wow wow !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ### 5/5 — Relaxing game *2023-01-27* Been looking for a game like Boggle that I don’t have to play with others online. This is it. I also love the fact that I can change the timer. To a faster game or to a longer game. ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-01-17* Well done, easy to use. Nice customization features. Excellent and absolutely to be recommended. ### 5/5 — Nice take on boggle *2022-12-04* If you think you’re good at Boggle, just see how few of the possible words you actually have found. humble humble. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2022-11-29* Six stars, if I could! The very best of Bogglesque-type games. Customizable and reliable with a broad (and adult) dictionary. Now, if the makers would just allow a screen rotation so the device’s charging port does not have to be at the bottom . . . But that's a minor quibble. ### 4/5 — Scoring *2022-10-11, version v0.1890* Enjoy the game,don’t understand the scoring ! ### 4/5 — Fun game *2022-06-14, version v0.1890* Love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ad driven *2026-01-20, version 0.1912* The ads. Wow!! Just Wow!! They don’t just run for a few seconds…they take over the entire game for a minute or two at a time. Great idea, but poor revenue plan. ### 1/5 — Wish it would run in landscape mode *2023-09-03, version v0.1890* It only runs in portrait and there’s no way to make it rotate ### 1/5 — Contains racial slurs in word list *2023-01-18, version v0.1890* Would change rating if this is programmed out ### 1/5 — Forgets progress if app stops for any reason *2022-07-02, version v0.1890* Useless. ### 1/5 — Completely unusable *2021-12-04, version v0.1881* Utter trash. Multiplayer completely doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time downloading this broken app. ### 1/5 — Game can’t spell *2020-11-10, version 0.172* Lots of words are not accepted. ### 2/5 — Crappy and indecipherable scoring *2022-12-03, version v0.1890* There. I’ve said it. ### 2/5 — A haven for cheaters *2021-11-11* The same player wins the Daily Challenge, always. I noticed this particular player when she started because of her name ~ and believe me, she wasn’t that good. Then all of a sudden, she became the top player, every day for months now. It’s discouraging, and makes me not want to play. There’s no point, when the only way you stand a chance, is if the cheater decides to take a day off, and good luck with that. ### 2/5 — Freeze *2021-02-23, version 0.1832* Game freezes ### 2/5 — Word *2021-02-06, version 0.1832* I’m not sure which dictionary is used for this game the but I doubt it’s an English dictionary. So many words aren’t accepted and in turn a ridiculous amount of slang is. This is so often the case with these apps. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-02-13* I love all of the options it has. It is by far the best word find game out there ### 5/5 — Great solo boggle *2026-01-14, version 0.1912* Lots of settings/variations; easy to hard, familiar format ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-12-10* Having so much fun with this game. At first I thought it would be too simple but it is quite challenging ### 5/5 — Best boggle game there is out there *2025-08-06* Fast loading, smooth, not overwhelming with useless features. Just plain boggle. Ranked mode is good but i dont understand how the scoring works… also the leaderboards in ranked are insane, i cant imagine how people are able to score as high as they do. Great game ### 5/5 — Great game, love it *2025-07-13* The best Boggle-like game I’ve found, quick to load and play, good customizations. Well worth upgrading to get rid of ads, because it’s so addictive. I wish there were better explanations of scores and leaderboards ### 5/5 — My boggle fix *2024-06-29* Love the game! It gives me my boggle fix & I love the look. There aren’t many ads at all so I can play & play & play with joy & focus! Thanx ### 5/5 — Wonderful Boggle-like game! *2024-05-10* Since Electronic Arts essentially abandoned the ‘Boggle’ app I have not found a really good alternative until now. Though it is free I felt compelled to spend money on alternate dice to support the app designer as a show of appreciation. The only thing I can think of that would make this app better for my preferences would be to be able to play landscape as well as portrait. Thanks, Glenn! Well done! 🙂 ### 5/5 — Great game. *2023-12-19* Dictionary could use some updating, but excellent otherwise. ### 5/5 — A classic! *2023-09-08* I really enjoy this game. It’s straightforward and easy to play with others, so I’ve found that it can keep me busy for a really long time. While it’s great to challenge others, it’s also fun to do solo, especially with the daily challenges. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! ### 5/5 — Great game! Underrated *2023-07-25* 4 Star gameplay - giving 5 stars for visibility and hopefully improvements in future. 1. No intrusive ads 2. Interface is confusing and it took awhile to figure out where ranked play is. 3. High scores indicating past winners seems to be broken. Otherwise high scores are a nice feature. 4. Gameplay is smooth but scoring needs consistency work as does word placement as many rounds there are ridiculously few words that can be formed overall. May review that says some people are getting super high scores either has been fixed or is a suboptimal player and mind jumps to cheating rather than that someone is that much better. Cheers to the devs - hope to see some positive changes in future! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
