Except... the ads are looong, intrusive, and actually drain my cell battery. Most of us get that free games require ads so they’re free to us. But I’ve never encountered such awful, and occasionally offensive, ads! Having said all that, I’m keeping it for now because it is fun, and perhaps they’ll make changes. Btw, I don’t care for the timer, but it’s not a big deal. ### 4/5 — Good app *2017-11-17, version 2.16* I’ve always liked this app. I hate the ads. I like to go without watching stupid ads. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the ads and I could choose not to have the timer. I wish also I could turn the sounds off. They are annoying. ### 3/5 — Help *2015-12-01, version 2.15* I can't find Santa, the Snowman or the Grinch please help ### 4/5 — Works good *2013-12-23* It's a nice app, only problem I found is on the hardest level with the smallest print, not all the words needed are appearing in the word list. So when you are finished finding the word list, the game doesn't finish. If this was fixed, I'd go with 5 star no prob. ### 4/5 — Wordsearch Christmas *2013-04-21, version 1.0* Great wee game good for the brain ### 4/5 — Fun *2013-03-13* Great little word puzzler. Good to tackle while waiting ### 4/5 — Relaxing *2012-12-24, version 1.0* The game is pretty mindless but relaxing because of the Christmas music. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2012-12-17, version 1.0* Quite enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-11-09, version 1.0* I really enjoy this word search game! The falling snow, the Christmas music, and the various themes make for a very enjoyable game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Just crashes *2021-11-12, version 2.20.5* Loaded it twice, will not open, just crashes ### 1/5 — Too easy too many ads *2020-11-12, version 2.20.2* Play one stupidly easy level and then sit through an ad. Don’t bother downloading. ### 1/5 — What’s With all the Ads? *2020-07-26, version 2.16* As soon as I downloaded and began playing this game, the ads began popping up. The most I have ever experienced. Suggest u not download this game unless u don’t mind the annoying ads. ### 1/5 — 7sun7shine7 *2014-11-21, version 2.14* This app has recently changed and not for the good. Why on a Christmas app we need Islamic words. i.e. Mosque, Quran, Ramadan. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2019-12-10, version 2.16* Once you begin the search the game is interrupted with ads that repeat, repeat, repeat, etc. ### 2/5 — The game itself is good but *2019-12-08, version 2.16* There are way too many ads. I’m really fast at word searches, so even at the hardest level, these take me less than a minute. That’s means I’m having to sit through at 15+ second ad for every 50 seconds of game play. That’s not an acceptable ratio. It make it impossible for me to stay and enjoy the actual game. I get that there has to be ads in order to keep the game free but they are way too long/frequent ### 2/5 — Long ads are very annoying *2019-02-19, version 2.16* Yes I know I can pay to get rid of them but I used to have this game without the ads and now have to pay to get it? Simply not worth it. Wouldn’t mind if the ads weren’t so frequent (are they really needed between EVERY SINGLE GAME???) or if they were shorter (some are nearly 30 seconds long) but they seriously detract from the enjoyment of the game. Only downloaded this afternoon and enjoy the game but will most likely look for something else and delete this one. ### 3/5 — Beautiful pics *2025-10-10, version 2.20.5* I wish I could mute all the sounds without having to silence my phone because there are places I go that I don’t want people hearing my phone. I know it’s annoying. I hate hearing other people’s phones in a public place. ### 3/5 — review *2020-11-02, version 2.20* Please fix the game crashing..I play this one every year.Thanks!.☕️☕️ ### 3/5 — Remove ads!!! *2019-12-08, version 2.16* I paid last year to have the ads removed and they are back this year! Please remove them or issue a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love *2019-11-27, version 2.16* I love this game it’s very relaxing and the music is very calming, just wish there was more than two songs for the game . 😘 ### 5/5 — Great game! *2017-11-14, version 2.16* Wonderful game with many different puzzles, different settings to it. Completely enjoy! ### 5/5 — I like this game!!! *2014-12-17, version 2.15* I like this game because of the many different puzzles. I have difficulty seeing and the fact that the puzzles are very bright making the letters easily discerning.

Although It's May I found it and it's great. I always feel bad when Christmas is over this keeps it going anytime. I like the music and enjoy the scene. ### 5/5 — Relaxing Fun! *2013-02-15, version 1.0* It's just enough of a challenge to be interesting without being frustrating. I enjoy playing just to relax. The Christmas music is soothing even well after the holiday! ### 5/5 — Words *2013-01-05, version 1.0* I like all word search games, this one I like a lot nice and seasonal, more games please, maggie ### 5/5 — Rate *2012-12-12, version 1.0* Really cute,grand kids love it! ### 5/5 — Absolute Fun!! *2012-12-02, version 1.0* This is the best overall Christmas game download yet!
