### 3/5 — Good But So many ads

*2026-08-18, version 1.9.0*

I like it, I like the story and stuff but… ads, there are just so many ads, and that would be fine but NONE OF THEM ARE SKIPPABLE

### 2/5 — Developer needs a dictionary

*2026-07-04, version 1.9.0*

I don’t know where you get your words list from, but over the last 3 days I’ve used many a word that literally IS an (American) English word, just to have the game buzz me as if it is incorrect.

Yes when you get to day 4593 things are getting boring, but at least it would help if you used real words!

### 3/5 — Odd

*2025-08-23, version 1.8.9*

An odd game. The creepy graphics and bad grammar got annoying. But an interesting concept.

### 2/5 — Challenge game word suit is wrong

*2025-04-25, version 1.8.9*

Challenge game word suit is a wrong word !!!!!!!!!

### 2/5 — Helps pass the time

*2024-02-14, version 1.8.8*

Two stars for passing the time.   Other than that it gets pretty annoying after a while.  Anyone know how long this game goes on for?

### 3/5 — Fun but problem

*2023-04-09, version 1.8.8*

### 4/5 — Fun one problem

*2022-11-04, version 1.8.7*

### 3/5 — What’s going on?.

*2022-09-13, version 1.8.7*

**Update**
Third request. 
It is now September 13, 2022, and the issue with the reward (please read below) has never been fixed. I really like your game and , as you can see by my previous comment, I have played the game for more than 18 months. Please fix. Thank you.

When I play the daily puzzle (which I have for months), the reward never goes past Day 5 for 140 coins. Why doesn’t it go past that point? Please fix. December 9, 2020 Still waiting for the reward part of the game to be fixed. Please fix.

### 2/5 — The piggy bank

*2022-06-20, version 1.8.7*

I really have to pay for the coins I earn on each level??? Cmon you gotta be joking

### 3/5 — Hate it or love it?

*2022-03-21, version 1.8.7*

When I put my words in it froze and when I even got the word correctly it didn’t say it was right but I still like it a bit 👍🏻👎🏻

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2021-09-19, version 1.8.7*

The add closes early and freezes the game fi this NOW

### 4/5 — Keeps repeating level 5809

*2021-08-22, version 1.8.7*

I enjoy the game, not that interested in the story. The story quit long ago.  I got to level 5809 and the same puzzle just keeps repeating. I have tried everything but it is locked on this level.

### 3/5 — My Honest Review

*2021-07-31, version 1.8.7*

This game is okay is you are bored. And when you are bored you will get even more bored of it in a little while. But it's still fun to play the puzzels. I would have liked to have less ads, but if you play its a lot you get used to it. I hope you take this into consideration and change some things.

                     To, the makers of the game.

### 4/5 — It’s a great game but...

*2021-07-27, version 1.8.7*

The game itself is fine it’s fun and makes me want to keep giving however when my coins get taken away constantly into a piggy bank it gets annoying.I understand it’s for us to get premium but other games I have had like this I delete because I get no we’re.

### 2/5 — ???????

*2021-07-13, version 1.8.7*

### 1/5 — Unplayable Due to Ads

*2026-03-28, version 1.9.0*

I have been playing for all 30 minutes.  It is not impossible to go longer than a minute without having to watch at least one ad. 

Hey, Game Dev, yeah…you…I do not exist to watch ads for you.  I do not play games where at least 50% of my time is spent making you money.  Your business model is just a giant middle finger waived at your players.

### 1/5 — Fake Advertising For A Boring Game

*2024-02-24, version 1.8.8*

Was as I Figured… Another Troll Fake Advertisement Of A Game By A Lying Developer trying a o get people to play their crappy game lol. The game is truthfully is really just boring… Is just the same thing over and over and you never really ever make any kind of an advancement or do anything different ir interesting in the game. Just goes to another Chapter of the same thing. You could play every day for a month and it could say and be 1000ft into the Wall and would just basically be and just show a small hole in the wall and would be more of the same boring thing…

### 1/5 — Help

*2023-10-09, version 1.8.8*

I have finished the game. It says all levels complete. It will not go past the last level. It is hung there and will go no further. I have tried everything and it just keeps going back to the very last 6482 and will not go past that. Very disappointed. Need help.

### 1/5 — The ads are maddening…

*2022-10-30, version 1.8.7*

All of a sudden it seems all the ads have loud audio and there seems to be no way to disable the audio. 

Getting ready to delete

### 1/5 — They Cheat, don’t bother

*2022-07-26, version 1.8.7*

Great game, but they cheat they control the spinning wheel “ YOU LOSE, TELL THEM NOT TO CHEAT :(

### 1/5 — Bored🥱

*2022-07-24, version 1.8.7*

This game is boring. Too boring. I got stuck on level 3000 and then it glitched me out of the game again and again. When I finally got back in, the game crashed. And I had like 
964000 coins or whatnot. This game suuucks.

### 1/5 — Mistakes

*2022-02-25, version 1.8.7*

Lots of words are missing and they mark them as wrong, for example June is not considered a correct word. Many other examples. You need to review your game and fix that. You should also give coins at the end of each level.

### 1/5 — Wont refund

*2021-12-26, version 1.8.7*

My child got this on accident and I seen 2 charges on my account from this app. 1 is $0.00 and the other $99.99. Under subscriptions it doesn’t show and under purchase history says not eligible for refunds. My bank account was charged $99.99 . Apple can’t help me and say I need to contact u or file dispute with my bank. Please help ASAP

### 1/5 — not pay

*2021-08-06, version 1.8.7*

it cost money to get coins and this game is a ripoff of henry stickmin
                   have a bad day trash video game makers

### 1/5 — Is horrible game

*2021-06-06, version 1.8.7*

As the title suggests, this game is TRASH. 
There are loads of ads.
There are loads of confusing parts.
The progress is slow and deathly.
There are no parts of the game like the advert. 
DON’T BUY IT IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE ANS YOUR SOCKS. 

I want to rate it 0 stars but App Store won’t let me 😔

### 5/5 — really good game

*2024-08-23, version 1.8.9*

it’s a great game tho part of the number of day is cut off on newer phone models so maybe the top of screen could be slide down a bit so one could see the top of screen fully

### 5/5 — IMPORTANT!!! DO NOT GET THIS GAME!!!

*2021-01-03, version 1.8.6*

I just got the game today when I was scrolling through the App Store and thought it looked pretty cool... I started playing and it all went well until I decided to make a purchase. I bought the least expensive one, because it was already getting boring and I hadn’t even been playing for 10 minutes. Well I bought the coins and when I clicked out of the store to go back to the game I discovered that my coins weren’t there! I thought maybe it just has to load in, so I left the level and joined back in. To my surprise it STILL wasn’t there. I left the app, rejoined, and looked at my coins... still 25... I then went to the store to see if I could get some sort of refund, but I couldn’t find anything. I’m 100% sure this game doesn’t deserve 5 stars, but you and I both know that if I gave it anything less, you would have to scroll a long ways down to find this... and people barely even bother to look at the comments, let alone scroll down to find them. I suggest not getting this game, it will waste your time, and it’s not as fun as it looks. It’s also all a huge scam, and I better get my $12.99 back... anyways, I’m sorry if this doesn’t help, but I tried...

### 5/5 — Fun game!

*2020-11-29, version 1.8.6*

Great game.

### 5/5 — 7/17/20 Update: Political Ads Gone

*2020-07-19, version 1.8.5*

Update: No more political ads! 
Thank you!!!

Loved this game & played every day until they started running political ads. Initially you could just close the ad but now it plays a video in between each word game.
