I’m now looking for a new, similar game without all the ads. I get that ads are necessary but I don’t see the need for an ad after every game! ### 2/5 — Ridiculous ads *2026-08-29, version 3.13.30* Great game but the ads are getting ridiculous. Came back after over a year not playing because of ads and now they’re worse. Ads every level.. don’t ### 2/5 — Gimmick *2026-08-29, version 3.13.30* Words you’ve never heard of, followed up by standard words that aren’t recognized. You’d think in this day and age they would at least crawl the dictionary for regular English words. ### 3/5 — What’s with the bones *2026-08-28, version 3.13.30* I don’t know about others, but I am not interested in the gold bones or the red hearts. I love the game itself, but what I get for collecting that stuff isn’t worth the effort. It’s just dumb. IMO ### 4/5 — Ccc *2026-08-28, version 3.13.30* Looking forward to play will give you review after one game ### 2/5 — Ruined by frequent crashes *2026-08-27, version 3.13.30* Don’t get me wrong, I adore this game and am not far off level 17,000. But, for ages now the game just randomly crashes. It’s not every now and then but every single time I play it! It’s been going on for the longest time and updates haven’t fixed this. I always hope it does but nothing so far. I know it’s not my device because it was the same on my old iPhone as well. PLEASE fix the crashing issue 😭🙏 ### 3/5 — Good game, but questionable adverts *2026-08-27, version 3.13.30* I enjoy playing this game but there are some scammy adverts on here ### 3/5 — After so many games the ad would just freeze in black page *2026-08-26, version 3.13.30* It was annoying to have to keep resetting after 5-6games before the game would freeze on a black page ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-26, version 3.13.30* Challenging and fun at the same time ### 4/5 — Great game but…. *2026-08-26, version 3.13.30* Amazingly addictive game though recently banner ads at the bottom are so large they cover one of the letters so developers pls address as this ,if continues ,is going to spoil it ! ### 2/5 — Used to be fun *2026-08-26, version 3.13.30* Way too many ads now. After every game there’s an app. Not enjoying this at all. ### 3/5 — Once you click an ad, you’re stuck there *2026-08-26, version 3.13.30* Fun until you click ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Went to garbage *2026-08-30, version 3.13.30* Used to be fun with occasional ads. Now it’s ads after every single game with constant screens popping up to try to sell in game junk. Greed has turned this to trash. ### 1/5 — Won’t load after update *2026-08-29, version 3.13.30* After the latest update the game won’t load. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-29, version 3.13.30* It has an insane amount of ads and even if you pay to remove ads.. they still force you to play ads in order to progress. The game will lock you on that ad screen to play another game and you can’t get out so you have to close the game. ### 1/5 — Improved *2026-08-29, version 3.13.30* Please consider removing the Star Rush feature…in all fairness, to level the playing field. It gives faster players an unfair advantage . ### 1/5 — Good game, ruined by ads you cannot close *2026-08-28, version 3.13.30* Terrible that you cannot close the ads. Forcing you to buy to stop them. Terrible ### 1/5 — Today’s update *2026-08-27, version 3.13.30* Please get ride of the cutsie animals. Let me go back to the previous version. ### 1/5 — Ads with AI Scans *2026-08-27, version 3.13.30* This game group is full of scams with AI-generated well known personalities & business leaders associated with CNN interviews- all testifying of cures for Alzheimer’s, weight loss, pain relief, you name it. IT’s ALL LIES! Research these claims and you’ll learn is all false. What else are you being brainwashed with? Delete these damn things! ### 1/5 — Ruined it with ads. Unusable. Uninstall now *2026-08-26, version 3.13.30* This app was one of the few games I’ve ever downloaded or played for any amount of time. But the behavior they just exhibited is why I’m no longer an Apple customer. This app now has unskippable ads that were implemented in the last update (within the last 24hrs). Now, in between rounds you get a playable game ad that you can’t close. You have to close the app and restart it. Utterly absurd. Uninstalled. And I don’t care if they fix it immediately, I’m never checking back to see if it was fixed. This exact behavior is what ruined the entire economy of apps for Apple. Now, my main device runs only open source apps that I absolutely need. Bad move for Apple because I was someone that consistently spent money in this area. I bought good apps, I made in-app purchases. But that’s over and they’ve pushed me out of Apple entirely. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2026-08-25, version 3.13.20* Downloaded the update and it deleted all my progress. ### 1/5 — ADDS. *2026-08-24, version 3.13.20* Yes I know but an add after EVERY single level is beyond insane and very frustrating ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Greatest game *2026-08-30, version 3.13.30* Keep s me focused ### 5/5 — Really Challenging and Fun! *2026-08-29, version 3.13.30* It’s really fun! They made a game that makes you smarter?!?! It’s totes awesome. It’s so gamified you can’t get bored finding words, and it’s no ads unless you watch ads for himts or something. And it’s really challenging on certain levels, I love it! Get this game! ### 5/5 — Word Game! *2026-08-29, version 3.13.30* Love it so far! I hope it keeps getting harder to solve. Much better than the other ones. So far so good! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-29, version 3.13.30* I really enjoy this game because it’s so much fun and relaxing. I love the zen music in the background and the background itself! When I first tried this game I thought I was only gonna play this for a minute. Minutes turned into HOURS. 5 stars ### 5/5 — Bobby *2026-08-29, version 3.13.30* Fun!!!
