From the definitions and word choices thoughtfully created, slow increase in difficulty and design choices this simple but effective game will have you glued to it trying to beat your past self (or family members) high score. You can’t even tell that it’s teaching you new definitions. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Best *2023-07-13, version 1.2* Best ### 4/5 — Fun - Idea *2023-05-19* I love playing this when I need to relax for a few but there’s one thing I would love to be available in this App. I’d love it if there was a list of the words you got wrong and their definitions or even just a quick list of all the words presented before you got one wrong. That would make this my favorite go-to game for sure! ### 5/5 — Have enjoyed for years *2023-01-14, version 1.2* The four star words are mostly unknown to me so I enjoy expanding my vocabulary. I like comparing how I do in the daily and weekly world leaderboard. We need more players! ### 5/5 — What? Well maybe. Ok *2023-01-01* I have had this app for years. It really does help with one’s vocabulary but sometimes the clues are too verbose. It is almost like the writers are using an archaic dictionary because some of the phrases don’t sound like proper English. Over all I still give it a five star rating! Try it! Test your vocabulary. I bet you learn a bunch of new words! ### 5/5 — Good *2022-08-16, version 1.2* Good ### 5/5 — Addictive *2022-05-29, version 1.2* Great game to keep your mine stimulated ### 4/5 — Love the app until the very end. *2021-12-21, version 1.2* I’d rate this app with high regard, however, I’m near the end and it repeats the same words over and over, except the few I’ve yet to master. It’s futile now to continue as I’ve basically reached the pinnacle and the challenging aspect is over. Prior words would be ideal, not repetition of the same (not so useful words) over and over with little chance of arbitrarily having the last few works pop up to finish the game in its entirety. But overall, I very much enjoyed it. ### 4/5 — Doesn’t work with latest iOS *2021-12-09, version 1.2* Updated version works great in the new iOS. The game is a great way to expand one’s vocabulary in a fun way. ### 5/5 — Fun m *2021-07-02, version 1.1* I had so much fun with my girlfriend we’re having so much fun yeah yeah yeah ### 5/5 — What fun! *2021-04-24, version 1.1* Great game for vocabulary- love it! ### 4/5 — Fun & Stressful!! *2021-02-27, version 1.1* It’s fun but not I’m spending a nickel on any app game! Make this FREE and let us play the game as you designed it! ### 5/5 — Addictive *2021-01-30, version 1.1* As well as being addicted, my family and I have also become ultra-competitive. ### 5/5 — Smart game *2020-12-26, version 1.1* Super fun game for those who aim to expand vocabulary in English. ### 4/5 — Cannot go beyond 3300 because the game will freeze *2020-11-18* The game is quite good for a non native. But once you get to 100 points, the challenge is lessened. From then on, it’s quite easy to master. The thing is, you will never get to reach 5000 point straight because the game will freeze at 3000+, depending on your gadget memory. A few weeks in and it gets very boring, the vocabulary bank is too limited. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless game *2024-02-23* Non-corresponding to everyday English in the United States. Most likely riddled by hackers working at private schools here in Greece as too much Ancient Greek has been used to substitute normal American academic terminology. I would give it a miss and just focus on normal vocabulary builders because other friends of mine noticed that this game has displayed unusual activity and disruptions on their mobile iPhones. Steer clear away from this app if you want to protect your iPhone from hackers. ### 1/5 — Dark theme please *2021-11-26, version 1.2* Friday 26 November 2021 Rating 1 point Hello Words Inc, would you help please and give a dark theme option? Then I would be able to use it. I do not have a face book so this my only option of contacting you. Yours sincerely ### 1/5 — >:( *2020-10-15, version 1.1* THIS GAME IS THE STUPIDEST GAME I’VE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THIS GAME ### 1/5 — Please Read this Review (This App Crashes) *2019-04-01* Hello, are you going to play this for fun or to be informed? Well, you could possibly learn and accumulate your knowledge with terse, often not descriptive enough words. Or maybe you’re gaming. Well, I’ve spent days learning their odd definitions to surpass my peers. Finally, I was many hours in and only a few points to reach this accolade, and then the app crashed. Had time simply elapsed or did I become erudite from learning from the app? Neither. I appreciate their care for words, but time, a glass of wine and a dictonary are better for a learner than an ineffective app. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2017-06-03, version 1.1* Game lasts literally 30 seconds before you have to pay. ### 2/5 — Great when it’s right *2026-01-16, version 1.2* Some of the definitions which are used are a bit “creative” and make this feel like English may not the creators first language. ### 2/5 — Horrible and boring app *2020-04-09, version 1.1* This app is very boring and is kind-of addicting but is very boring. Do not get this app!! ### 2/5 — Would have been five stars but... *2019-03-28, version 1.1* At the end of every single game the user is asked to pay an additional 0.99$ to continue your current game. Game is fun but this pay a dollar for every game is ridiculous. ### 3/5 — Fun but NO INSTRUcTIONS!! *2022-07-31, version 1.2* what do the stars mean on the right on word choice. The game has no instructions or descriptions included…. ### 3/5 — Meaning of the word *2020-07-03, version 1.1* In all this game is fair, wish it had a dictionary to receive the full definition. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent for Writers *2026-07-22, version 1.2* Fantastic way to pick up new words and learn in a simple app based on mastering easy to hard verbiage. Highly recommended to writers and linguists for education + fun factor ### 5/5 — Chiropractor *2026-01-03, version 1.2* This has to be one of the best apps there is because I'm addicted to it ### 5/5 — Wish there was a word list! *2025-10-27* I’ve been loving this game, it’s very good for refreshing my memory of vocab I already know, as well as introducing a whole lot of esoteric, obscure words that I don’t! My only complaint is that I wish there was a word list or history available so that, once I encounter a word in the game, I can go back and review the words I missed, or which are new to me. Otherwise I just have to wait for them to come up again in the game, and hope that I remember them well enough to make a note of them later, which I never do — my memory is abysmal. ### 5/5 — Perfect Mini Time Killer *2025-10-21* When I have those moments where I need to kill a little time I open this app and sometimes learn a word or two. Highly recommend, Sometimes encounter situations where, in my opinion, two words fit the definition but it’s far and few between. Wish there was a way to see words I have gotten wrong in the past and when the game ends I don’t have to wait so long to have the definition pop up again. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-06-11, version 1.2* I love this game. I wish they would show scores of Others and would give definition of other words when game ends. ### 5/5 — Learn & Have Fun *2025-01-18, version 1.2* Great game! Fun to play anywhere while increasing your vocabulary. ### 5/5 — Keeps you sharp *2024-12-12, version 1.2* This game will smarten you up. Amazing game. You’ll learn words you never knew existed. ### 5/5 — Fun, different approach! *2024-05-22, version 1.2* Very enjoyable game without constant bombardment of ads during play. Love vocab games! ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-05-15, version 1.2* I like it ### 5/5 — Addictive *2024-04-21* very useful and addictive --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
