### 3/5 — Lengthy ads

*2026-08-31, version 7.8.18*

Great app but by the time I can get out of an ad (some seem 2-3 minutes long), I’ve forgotten what it was I was going to do!!

### 2/5 — Could be great

*2026-07-25, version 7.8.15*

But isn’t ..  only works a couple of times then switches to other games.

### 2/5 — Too many ads that won’t close

*2026-07-10, version 7.8.13*

Free to use with ads but has too many ads that you can’t close or they don’t have that option. I have emailed company many times to fix but their solution doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — Too many ads!!

*2026-06-28, version 7.8.13*

In fact game-makers who boast about not having any ads, put their ads for their game on this game and so we waste a ton of time in between moves,  watching their same ad  … 100’s of times!

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2026-06-26, version 7.8.13*

This app is certainly a WWF lifesaver, but l find a couple of things frustrating. I am always wanting to build my vocabulary--painlessly, of course--and love it when words listed also offer definitions. I don't understand why that is often not an option, only "save this word." Infinitely more inexplicable and annoying is the increasing tendency for a word to be defined just as a noun or an adjective, with no definition at all (WTH?!). This is different from the mysterious announcement that such-and-such is a valid, WWF word, but that there is no definition at this time.
Thanks.

### 3/5 — Adverts

*2026-05-29, version 7.8.12*

Adverts kill It

### 4/5 — Ads are a drag.

*2026-05-22, version 7.8.12*

Good app but the ads, ugh. I just force quit before I even see what they’re selling.

### 3/5 — Excellent functionality with the kids annoying ads EVER

*2026-04-16, version 7.8.10*

The app itself is excellent and provides compelling functionality. But, the way that the ads for that stupid Royal Match game consume literally minutes before you can dismiss them is about as obnoxious as it gets.

### 2/5 — What happened? I probably must cancel

*2026-03-13, version 7.8.10*

Seriously I pay every month for your service and now out of nowhere Idk how to use your service.  I might as well cancel my subscription.  I didn’t see this coming at all.  Goodbye and why did you change a perfectly good app?

### 3/5 — Too many ads! Drives me nuts

*2026-02-27, version 7.8.9*

Similar to what another user said - the ads appear too frequently and last for too long. You skip and it opens up the App Store. You have to then go back and skip again. Such a shame because otherwise it’s great. I would actually prefer to pay something small per month rather than these pesky ads that interrupt your flow (whilst in a game somewhere else! It’s too much!) so I’m on here looking for an alternative ! Also I don’t know why but whenever I open it, google gets involved telling me I don’t have any passwords saved. Not sure if that’s my phone settings or an app problem but I haven’t experienced it with any of my other apps :/

### 2/5 — Out of sync!

*2026-01-21, version 7.8.8*

Used to be great but in recent weeks every day it’s in a different order than the Wordscapes game. Now I can’t find the one 4 letter word I need unless I open every 4 letter word!  Whilst I know u can use the list function, if you’re only looking for one four letter word you have to look at all the four letter words to find one that might fit and that spoils the game. You always used to have the layout in the same order as the puzzle but not anymore which is a shame.

### 3/5 — Fine

*2026-01-14, version 7.8.7*

It all works.

### 2/5 — Ads repetitve

*2026-01-10, version 7.8.7*

So tired of the same underwear ads  also thought I had opted out of being tracked ( not that I am searching for underwear)   I am not. Also says I dont have an email attached.  By the way how did I sign in if I don’t have one

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Do not bother

*2026-08-18, version 7.8.18*

Useless for word domination , more words wrong than correct

### 1/5 — Was good now it’s horrible

*2026-06-25, version 7.8.13*

I used to love this app. When I was really stuck on a word it helped me find what I needed. I haven’t been playing word games lately. Life has gotten too busy. Today I wanted to help a friend solve a puzzle so I pulled up word finder. The app has changed so much. It used to be easy to use. Much more complicated. So complicated I couldn’t figure it. Deleting it.

### 1/5 — 3 hr

*2026-05-22, version 7.8.12*

I think you have problems with downloading

### 1/5 — Sucks fails horrible

*2026-05-11, version 7.8.10*

Wtf. My time is priceless and not worth your obsession and brown nosing to commercials

### 1/5 — Goes off

*2026-03-08, version 7.8.10*

Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Unusable due to ads

*2026-03-02, version 7.8.9*

After a few searches ads come up and there’s no way to dismiss them and use the app. Totally unusable. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-03-01, version 7.8.9*

In the last couple of days the app has not been working correctly. I play the Wordscapes game and is is not synced with the game.

### 1/5 — The Ads are intrusive

*2026-02-11, version 7.8.9*

The ads are intrusive and there is no way to close them out……no “x” to close it. 
It’s very frustrating

### 1/5 — INFURIATING! FRUSTRATING!  🤬

*2026-01-11, version 7.8.7*

I try to email you for support and all you do is take me into the most INFURIATING CIRCLE asking me for the same password over and over again and then telling me it’s wrong and I never get ANYWHERE OR GET ANY HELP! Your board has MISPRINTS ON IT SO YOU MAKE WORDS ON THE WRONG LETTERS which is NO HELP AT ALL! Please fix the boards so they read the CORRECT LETTERS, not TYPOS!!!  They are no help if they are inaccurate!  It is SO frustrating!  I love WWF and appreciate your offers to help but NOT IF THEY ARE INACCURATE!!!  I’d rather have NO help than your infuriating, half baked “help” with typos! 🤬

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-01-05, version 7.8.7*

Awesome

### 5/5 — WordFind

*2026-06-13, version 7.8.12*

Great App!!

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-06-10, version 7.8.12*

Love WWFC

### 5/5 — Great help

*2026-04-22, version 7.8.10*

Like this great help

### 5/5 — Speedy!

*2026-03-15, version 7.8.10*

I love this app because it quickly produces results and provides a vast amount of words that are useful for the scrabble app I play. It doesn’t interrupt with so many apps that it becomes annoying. I highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Brain food

*2026-03-08, version 7.8.10*

This game is for people that like to spell.  It is very competitive, so there must be lots of good spellers.   People even compete in foreign languages.  And we enjoy chatting with our team members.

### 5/5 — Big help

*2026-03-04, version 7.8.9*

When you have dyslexia it’s hard to get words right. It helps me spell words better

### 5/5 — Complaints

*2026-01-11, version 7.8.7*

There are not as many solutions as there were before the last change.

### 5/5 — Love this App.

*2025-12-06, version 7.7*

This App is so crazy helpful as I’m in Australia and a lot of the words are either American or even Latin and I’d never be able to complete my word puzzle 🧩 games without it. 
This Game has helped me in so many ways. It’s helped me learn so many new words that I can also check the meanings of these new words. Also it’s helped me so very much with my spelling. I’m 48/49 years old and I love the fact I’m still learning and fixing problems I’ve had since childhood. (As in poor spelling) 
               With many kind regards cherieK

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-10-18, version 7.8.3*

Helpful tool
