Iliad is a proper noun, why is it allowed? ### 4/5 — Timer option *2024-04-14, version 1.80* This is a well written, enjoyable game but sometimes after you start a game it’s necessary to stop and delay your game but the timer doesn’t appear to stop running so when you resume the game and solve it you get a low score. The ability to pause the timer would be a great addition. ### 3/5 — Busy bee *2024-01-25* missing the leaderboard that was on when i started also friends score tried everything to get it back but no luck otherwise really like the format. ### 2/5 — Dictionary from another planet *2023-03-28, version 1.80* if i built up my vocabulary with this dictionary- no one would know what i was trying to say. HORRIBLE DICTIONARY CHOICE. NO ONE USES HALF THESE WORDS! Also omitted a lot of normal words that just aren’t in “this” dictionary… ### 3/5 — Fun product!! But it crashes! *2022-12-11, version 1.80* I have been using this product for several months on an older iPhone 7 with no problems. Less than a month after upgrading to an iPhone 14, the program crashed and will not load. Off loading app and tried stalling foes not help. DBK ### 3/5 — Strange that this game gives you a grade *2022-11-19, version 1.80* I’ve had this game for a few days and have played it around 15 times. noticed that at least some of the words are at least vaguely Biblical, including “Bible“ and“smite“. no positive or negative comment about that but just FYI. What I do find strange and amusing is that for every game you play, you get a letter grade. I can understand that if you’re being tested on knowledge of a subject, but it’s strange to be graded on a guessing game. I realize there is some logic to subsequent guess is after the first guess, because some letters generally fit together better than others, etc. but it is very odd that the game grades each game that is played. FWIW, I did fairly well, but it’s bizarre that you apparently can get an “A” because you happened to guess correctly. I think I’ll look for another similar game. ### 4/5 — American spelling *2022-09-22* Good app but American spellings are a bit naughty. Not something you think of immediately. Otherwise fine ### 4/5 — Would be more fun with current words *2022-08-19, version 1.80* I like this game a lot. However, it should use words that are in circulation. I am a 65 year old college graduate and an avid fiction reader. I have yet to come across “cates: delicious food” or “dilly: a type of stagecoach”. Are these from 200 years ago? After all there aren’t many stagecoaches currently used. Maybe it’s that these 2 words were less than 10 games apart. But if they continue to pop up I’ll switch to another game. Please use words that are currently used by people. ### 3/5 — One suggestion *2022-07-23, version 1.80* The time rating color scheme feels off. The colors for quickest to slowest solve time change from coolest to warmest, except for the “S”. If ”S” is the fastest, it should be blue. Then a green “A”, yellow “B”, orange “C”, red “D”, then maroon “F”. The yellow “S” just feels out of place. Edited to add: There are several words that this app does not count as words, which needs to be updated. The only one I can recall off-hand is “cries”. Apparently, no one ever cries. ### 4/5 — Where’s the clipboard? *2022-07-02, version 1.80* Like the game but when I want to save a winner a message comes up saying “saved to clipboard” but I can’t find a way to access my clipboard entries. ### 4/5 — Great app; 2 suggestions. *2022-06-24* I really enjoy this app but would like to ask for…..Suggestion 1: please make letter input more flexible. Others have mentioned this and it would be a big improvement. Suggestion 2: Ability to reset stats in the app without having to delete it each time would be a good feature for me. I like to play 10 times in succession and find the average time per go. Thanks again for the app. ### 4/5 — Lost it! *2022-06-19* I love this game. I’ve been playing it every day for months. It’s BETTER than the other Wordle apps because it doesn’t limit you to one game each day. Also the adverts at the top of the screen aren’t too annoying. BUT NOW … Horror of horrors … the app won’t open ! Please bring it back! ### 3/5 — Great game but not yet perfect *2022-05-14, version 1.71* This was my favorite implementation so I spent the money to unlock no ads. But I find a few details frustrating: 1) the keyboard is laggy on my iPhone XS Max. It often misses keystrokes and I need to slow down my typing deliberately to have it input correctly 2) I hate the vibrations on keyboard press and don’t see an option to turn it off 3) the game has frozen up a few times. One time my phone had to be hard reset to recover. I didn’t think Apple would allow this to happen but it’s never happened to me while running any other app 4) It bothers me that the New Game button on the main menu moves after loading some information from network / Game Center. Sometimes it causes me to tap the wrong button. It would be better to reserve some space for the Share Wordi button or to keep it in a disabled state while waiting for the data to load. ### 2/5 — US spellings *2022-04-09, version 1.71* Be aware this uses American spellings. It also has an incomprehensible scoring scheme and a timer that bears no relation to reality. Otherwise fine! ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2022-04-08, version 1.71* I really like this game a LOT. It’s like the game Mastermind, but with words. The only thing that I think it’s lacking is the ability for the player to “see” the letters in the spots that they believe they should be in without selecting a letter for the unknown spot, which throws me off. By adding a * key for the players to test the position of the known letters (receiving the same response as the ‘not a word’ if accidentally submitted), the player could physically visualize the known letters in the order that they believe they are in. Ex. Known: R A N I could place the temporarily place the letters in the spots so that it would look like this: * R A * N From this, I can hypothesize that the word could be Brain, Grain or Drain. I hope that I have explained my point clearly. It would just be helpful for the player to physically see it (IMO, this would make it a 5/5). 🤷‍♀️ Thank you!! ### 4/5 — Glitch report—misspelled answer *2022-04-06, version 1.71* I wanted to contact the developer/creator to report a misspelled answer word, but I’m not a Twitter user, which seems to be the only way to contact him. “Fibre” was presented as the answer in my last game. The game gives definitions of each Wordi answer, plus usage. But in the sentences where “fibre” was used, it was consistently spelled “fiber,” not “fibre.” For all I know, “fibre” is a British spelling, but 75 games in, I’ve never seen any other British spellings of words. So…please don’t mess up my stats with misspelled answers! Other than this, I absolutely love Wordi and play it all the time. The *only* thing about Wordi I dislike (besides the glitch I just reported) is the silly grades. Please eliminate them or make them optional. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mr *2025-12-06, version 1.80* Why has this great app stopped working suddenly? ### 1/5 — Wordi *2024-06-20, version 1.80* Screen goes white and lose 3000 words done 3rd time it’s happened ### 1/5 — Nothing there *2022-10-05* I just downloaded this and paid for it but it doesn’t open. Just a green screen with no options. ### 1/5 — Poor *2022-04-15* At first it was very good, until I upgraded! Constantly freezes, top buttons don’t work. All the upgrade allowed was to change colour. No contact details to report this, I imagine the owners would be pretty keen to get this fix considering what they paid. When a freeze occurs my only action is to have a soft shutdown. **Developer response:** This has been fixed in version 1.8! ### 1/5 — Don’t upgrade *2022-03-10, version 1.71* I enjoyed this game but after I upgraded I was no longer able to access my stats. When I clicked on the stats icon, the entire program froze up and I had to close it out snd restart it to play. I leff a review about this but noone ever got back to me. ### 1/5 — Not educational *2022-02-28, version 1.71* Definitions are outdated and misinformed. American spellings with British imperial definitions ### 1/5 — No. *2022-02-27, version 1.71* Firstly your words are ridiculous what is tutti? Secondly, you CANNOT give me an F grade if I got the word. You can give me a D if you want, I would disagree, but not an F. It’s wrong. And I never asked you to grade me. You take the fun out of this. Don’t copy a good thing and make it bad. Bye. ### 1/5 — black history month *2022-02-22, version 1.65* it did not accept my black comrades name during february, aka the time for the black kings. unbelievable. ### 1/5 — so many bugs *2022-02-14, version 1.5* lit literally blocks out letters for the correct word? like that’s the whole point of the game. how is anyone supposed to guess the word of you block out the letters that in the word? ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-02-14, version 1.5* I downloaded this on my iPad and it does not provide a word to start the game. Tried multiple times and it just gives me all blank boxes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Wordl app *2024-03-05, version 1.80* I’ve been trying all the wordl apps and this is by far the best one. Apps are reasonable, Runs fast and UI is simple and to the point. I’m addition I love that you actually get a definition of the word after the puzzle. It helps me grow my vocabulary and have a fun puzzle while I do it. My only critique would be, it is a little abrupt when puzzle ends. Adding a short animation to tradition to the word/definition screen would make it less jarring. With that bing said this is exactly what I have been looking for, a simple adaptation of a simple games. With non of the pointless extras and frustrating adds. ### 5/5 — Great fun but where did it go? *2024-02-13, version 1.80* This is a great game and always appreciated the definitions of new words. Unfortunately, the game no longer loads… ### 5/5 — Good game! *2023-10-03, version 1.80* I love how this app dosent have any pop-up ads. Almost all wordless apps have pop-up’s. Also, this app has good features like history, and how to play. I love the style of the app and the efficiency of it. Thanks developer for making a good game. ### 5/5 — The BEST version of Wordle *2023-06-26, version 1.80* I have tried many versions of Wordle type apps and this is the best. It has a clean interface, gives you definitions of the words once the game is over, and for a nominal price you can remove all ads. Kudos to the developers. ### 5/5 — What happened to the global stats and user names? *2023-05-17, version 1.80* The stats that showed player comparisons are gone-can’t sign in.. ### 5/5 — Love This Game! *2022-04-30, version 1.71* I’ve changed my review to 5 stars since it seems they have worked out all the glitches. I really enjoy this game, having played it when I was a teen. My only suggestion would be to allow us to see a total score for ourselves based on all our plays. The only one I can find is the Global stats that last for 24 hours. But that’s about it. It is great, and I love it! ### 5/5 — Hank *2022-04-05, version 1.71* Good game. What does the S mean on the score? ### 5/5 — Grade Overview *2022-04-04, version 1.71* I love the game but wish I understood the Grade Overview ratings. ### 5/5 — I hate the grades *2022-03-07, version 1.71* I love this game in general and it earns the five stars, but my suggestion would be to eliminate (or allow a user to opt out of) the puzzle grades. I play this game to relax, and manage to ignore the grades fairly well, but there’s still a hint of time pressure. ### 5/5 — Wordle *2022-03-05* Quite taxing as some of the words are quite obscure. Addictive! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
