It’s rally not fun any more when the words you’re searching for are not in any dictionary. ### 4/5 — Hints too pricey *2025-12-31, version 0.2* Love the game but for the amount of coins you get after each round, the hints are way too costly. Have to have thousands of those coins when you get further into the game where the words are seemingly from another planet. ### 4/5 — I like this game, but... *2024-06-05, version 0.2* I haven't been able to play it for a few weeks. On the main page it says Coming Soon. I haven't reached the end of the game so I don't know why it's doing this. I gave it 4 stars because there are words that aren't in any dictionary. This game still isn't working. What's going on? ### 4/5 — I like this game, but... *2024-05-09* I haven't been able to play it for a few weeks. On the main page it says Coming Soon. I haven't reached the end of the game so I don't know why it's doing this. I gave it 4 stars because there are words that aren't in any dictionary. ### 3/5 — Too early to tell *2024-03-03, version 0.2* I have just begun and so far so good. But they keep bugging me for a review. So ... This is my forth try at similiar games and so far it is the best for actually connecting the leters . I will update this when I get further into the game. But right now it has a lot of promise. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2024-02-29, version 0.2* A good free game. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2023-11-19, version 1.3.1* I’m enjoying this game tremendously. Not only will it make you think, it will help with spelling. All of this while being challenging & entertaining. ### 3/5 — Nice ESL game *2023-09-17, version 1.3.1* This game is too simple for native English speakers. It's a good fit for ESL. Terrific for that. It's absolutely no challenge at all otherwise. ### 4/5 — Dictionary Suggestion *2023-08-26, version 1.3.1* Using the Dictionary should be free without any points added or taken away. We want to encourage learning the new words. ### 3/5 — Eh... it's ok, but *2023-06-17* Truly enjoyed the game at first. But as some others discovered, there are words that are not either in the American dictionary, or they're spelled wrong, or an obscure spelling. Also, there are some plays or words that are not recognized that actually are in the dictionary. Maybe the game was not created by an American. ### 3/5 — Simplistic *2023-04-01, version 1.3.1* How many games - or levels - does one have to wade through until one gets to the point that thought is required? Still waiting ... Oh, yeah; the game is slow to respond when the form is completed. ### 5/5 — Word *2022-08-28, version 1.9* Great brain teaser ### 2/5 — Tons of games just like it *2022-08-24, version 1.3.1* "Do you want to play a totally new experience of word puzzle game?" Yes, but this sure isn't it. It's exactly the same as Wordscapes, but without the nice pictures or bonus rounds etc. So, new in the sense that it is not as good as the games it is shamelessly cloning? ### 4/5 — Fun *2022-08-21, version 1.9* Makes me think ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Distracting Changes are a Turnoff *2026-08-07, version 0.2* This is an excellent therapy for strengthening and regaining the brain where vocabulary and memory are concerned. However, the pressure to buy and the new and distracting “present” that pulsates with a timer beneath it, distracts the eye and also the brain, making this go from great therapy to wanting to quit. I made a small purchase in the beginning, grateful to pay for something that was good; I wish that was enough for this developer. As the changes make it impossible to play, I can’t give it more than 1 star. Without that pressure and distraction, I would have given it 5 stars. ### 1/5 — THIRD REVIEW *2024-09-08, version 0.2* I noticed a review from 3 years ago about words never heard of, not in any US dictionary and no cheat sheets. DEV SAID something about the next update to fix that. Guess you haven't gotten around to it. Can no longer play this. PLUNK. ### 1/5 — Reviewer Indozone nailed it 3 years ago *2024-09-02* Since Reviewer Indozone correctly reviewed this game 3 years ago, and the dev said he (or she) would investigate, three years later, it's still the same. Words I never heard of, proper names, coumtry names (IRAN is in one of these puzzles)... PLUNK! ### 1/5 — good but it gets worse over time *2022-07-20, version 1.3.1* this game is so hard it takes forever to finish and there are words that dont count. so i have to yeeett and guess. my class was struggling and cried out of desperation. ### 1/5 — The higher you go the worse it gets *2022-03-15, version 1.3.1* I enjoyed this game immensly at first by now they are using company , country, and obscure names forcing you to buy letters just to figure out what letter starts the word. At 956 and they are using formulas. On one game I had 33 bonus words, this is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — CPU Hog *2021-06-25, version 1.3* I run all kinds of apps on my Mac, but this is the only app that hogs the CPU and makes the fans go like crazy. I can' imagine what it's doing - mining cryptocurrency? Nice game ruined by hogging my CPU and overheating my Mac. I removed it. ### 1/5 — corrupt game *2020-11-22, version 1.0* IT"S full of flaws! once you start the game you can't get out of it without shutting down your computer.That doesn't work all the time either it has come up when you try to delete it or use their contact us . dont get it! ### 2/5 — Good game, but a power drain *2024-11-27, version 0.2* I played this on my MacBook for a couple of weeks. I noticed that it’s a huge drain on the battery (from 100% to 70% in about 45 minutes). It seems to want a lot of power for a game that doesn’t have a lot of graphics except for the board and letters. ### 2/5 — Too many obscure words. *2024-07-14, version 0.2* Game started out strong, but decended into words that in some cases are not in Webster's. For example, "renin", "liman", "limn". Some of these may be in the dictionary, but are rooted in Middle English, for instance. ### 2/5 — Dissappointed *2023-07-01, version 1.3.1* Loved the game until it just stopped. I figure it's because i never did any of the in-app purchases. I played 16485 sets and it just quit reloading. Maybe that was the limit? Not sure but very dissappointed that it just quit like that with no explanation. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-08-03, version 0.2* However, the daily bonus isn’t progressing beyond the first day. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-01-16, version 0.2* 5/5 ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-12-25, version 2.3* I’m never bored ### 5/5 — great little game *2024-10-05, version 0.2* great little word game, No streesful clocks to beat. very relaxing ### 5/5 — Fun fun fun *2024-09-27, version 0.2* I love this game ### 5/5 — fun *2024-02-16, version 0.2* Fun to play at work ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2023-12-30, version 1.3.1* Enjoyable ### 5/5 — good game *2023-09-14, version 1.3.1* I enjoy this game ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever *2022-12-22, version 1.3.1* This game is great! ### 5/5 — Keeps you busy. *2022-09-26, version 1.3.1* Great for help with cognitive thinking after a concussion --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
