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. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Freezing *2026-06-01, version 1.68.25152* I absolutely love this game and have been playing it for a while. But it often has some kind of glitching to it. I have had the same issues that others are reported where all of my tiles get wiped away. But most recently, the game is now freezing where I have to restart the game multiple times during one turn and it is affecting my streaks and for some of the timed stuff, the outcome. I am a paid member and considering canceling my membership. Constantly having to restart and watching it affect my game is not fun ### 4/5 — Love the game but it keeps freezing *2026-05-30, version 1.68.25152* I been playing this game for awhile and I love it but lately it has been freezing and crashing and it’s really irritating I tried to contact support but the button won’t take me anywhere or pull anything up. ### 2/5 — Fun but ads are blocking gameplay *2026-05-12, version 1.68.25152* I started to enjoy playing this game until the ads showed up at the top of the page and I can’t see the first line of the board anymore. ### 3/5 — Power drain *2026-04-30, version 1.68.25152* Excellent, fun and addictive game, but it drains your battery very quickly and overheats phone ### 2/5 — Way too many ads *2026-03-17, version 1.68.23719* This game would be really fun but it has way too many ads. I get that you need them, but I can’t get through one game without 10 ads, that’s just ludicrous. You could have way more downloads and players if you scaled back the ads. ### 2/5 — Can be fun *2026-02-26, version 1.68.23719* Hate the timer! Don’t need to play with others. Just want to solve a damn crossword 🤷🏽‍♀️ ### 1/5 — always hang *2026-02-06, version 1.68.23719* why? ### 4/5 — Glitch *2026-02-06, version 1.68.23719* The game keeps glitching and pausing and I have to restart it multiple times ### 1/5 — Israel. Maga. *2026-02-02, version 1.68.23719* They're trying to put subliminal messages. Israel? English Heritage? What??? Please. ### 1/5 — Waaay toooo much ads *2026-01-30, version 1.68.23719* Too much ads that makes it so annoying ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2026-01-30, version 1.68.23719* You have to pay weekly to avoid ads. Really? Weekly? ### 3/5 — Great game but... *2026-01-29, version 1.68.23719* Too many bots. ### 3/5 — Crash and Ad city *2026-01-27, version 1.68.23719* This game crashes so much it’s hard to play. And you end up watching multiple ads per game while waiting for other players. It’s a fun game, just wish both of those would go away. ### 1/5 — Always freezes =deleted *2026-01-26, version 1.68.23719* After your first turn, the entire screen freezes. No other choice but to close the app completely. Sad because it looks like a lot of fun. I liked that it was full-screen. ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-01-24, version 1.68.23719* I’ve played this for a while and it WAS fun. Currently the game freezes and locks up my phone. Fix the issue and I’ll fix the rating ### 2/5 — Adssss *2026-01-24, version 1.68.23719* Wayyy too many ads, I do like the game but an ad after every place is excessive ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing *2026-08-12, version 1.68.25152* The game is unplayable now ### 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. 🤷🏽‍♀️ ### 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….. ### 1/5 — annoying to many ads *2026-05-19, version 1.68.25152* I can't even enjoy because of the ads ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-04-26, version 1.68.25152* After the first few games that were ad-free, they place an ad banner at the top, so I could not see the clues or part of the top word on the board. At that point , it was unplayable. To say nothing of the addition of ad breaks every turn. ### 1/5 — Ads make the game virtually unplayable *2026-04-22, version 1.68.25152* The game is fun but the constant 30-90 seconds long ads after every task made this app horrible! It’s buggy too so you’ll be sitting there waiting for the skip option to come up and it just doesn’t. It’s gotten to the point where closing out the app and going back in is faster than waiting for the ad to be over. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Word grams crossword &puzzle *2026-04-13, version 1.68.25152* I really like this word gram & puzzle it is fast paced and it is easy and challenging.it is fun and exciting. ### 5/5 — Dislike *2025-10-01, version 1.68.22970* Too many ads ### 5/5 — Mind challenge *2025-07-21, version 1.68.22632* Good so far will continue to report ### 5/5 — Wordgrams *2025-07-07, version 1.68.21923* I like playing against someone!
