### 3/5 — İ cant use joker

*2026-08-15, version 1.68.25152*

İ want to use the joker but keyboard isnt appearing on my screen

### 1/5 — Keeps freezing

*2026-08-12, version 1.68.25152*

The game is unplayable now

### 2/5 — Crashing and freezing

*2026-08-04, version 1.68.25152*

It’s such a shame since I do love the app overall but it will not stop freezing and crashing. It’s made my phone itself unusable since I can’t close out of it either. I’ve played for half an hour today and had to try to force shut down my entire phone to get out of the frozen app four times already. And three times it’s just flickered. I deleted and redownloaded it and it didn’t seem to help either. All the other apps on my phone are working fine. Hope it gets fixed.

### 1/5 — Argh

*2026-07-12, version 1.68.25152*

A lot of bug and glitch!

### 1/5 — Love this app

*2026-07-05, version 1.68.25152*

Edit: I watch all ads you throw at me but now … I’m listening to my music and all of a sudden music stops & ad starts talking … LOUDLY. 
If your app is silenced so should your ads be. Sadly, I’ve stopped playing multiple times a day and even skip a few days now .. oh well something better will show up 

I LOVE (not so thrilled these days) this app & play multiple times daily. 
To those who complain about ads … I just wonder why you think it should be completely free to play? When you all start doing your jobs for no pay, only then should you expect ad free games.

### 1/5 — Had to stop playing.

*2026-07-05, version 1.68.25152*

I have been playing this game for over 2 years. I looked past the increase ads and etc but now the game is just unplayable

It freezes and crashes. I can not do it anymore. I thought it would get fixed after complaints are logged by other players but nope. 

It was good while it last. I almost had 1k days on the wordle. 🤷🏽‍♀️

### 4/5 — Good game but…

*2026-06-26, version 1.68.25152*

I really like this game. But for some reason it keeps freezing up and I can’t play. So unfortunately I had to delete

### 1/5 — More like an ads machine than a game

*2026-06-21, version 1.68.25152*

Less than every 5 mins, an ad pops up. Convinved that this isnt even an game apps but was only made for their ads-dump. Cheap.

### 1/5 — Greed & Bots

*2026-06-20, version 1.68.25152*

This game used to be good and the actual game is still good. Where they lose me and many others I suspect is their greed. They try and coerce you into “paying to get ahead” constantly eg paying for more time at the end of your round. This is especially ridiculous as it diminishes the integrity of the game if you are playing a real opponent. They also have tons of Ads every second. Its so exhausting and makes the experience horrible. Then if you want to pay for the ads to go you have to pay a ridiculous subscription fee. £3.49 per week or £8.99 per month or £43.99 per year??? Really, I’d rather pay for Netflix at £4.99 per month which is far more cheaper and I get tons of movies, shows and games.

The developers need a reality check and I think bcos of this theyve lost so many players that they now have to resort to bots pretending to be human and totally got rid of their “live” challenge game possibly because a lack of players. Crossword Go and Crossword Master don’t have as much functions and features as Wordgrams but they have got bigger player base going by the rating figures. Probably because they aren’t as money hungry games.

### 1/5 — Had for 10 mins & IT’S GONE!!!

*2026-06-06, version 1.68.25152*

Had for 10 mins and saw 20+ ads & that is not the worse of it- ad at the top of the page (in addition to ads between every play) BLOCKS clues at the top. Tried shrinking the “board”, moving, rotating my screen…. Nothing would provide the very top line. Did I bother with support? NO, with reviews from over 4yrs ago that should not be an issue that needs assistances…..
