Wish the developers would return to it and add more. ### 3/5 — Small amount of free content disappointing *2023-08-08, version 1.3.1* Honestly this game is super fun and really clever! Unfortunately there’s only a small amount of free content (maybe an hour or two?). I would say it is probably worth purchasing if you buy games. If you just download stuff for free, this is still worth an afternoon. ### 3/5 — Woven Words *2022-01-22, version 1.3.1* Usage would be facilitated if it were not necessary to tap the keyboard every time you’re searching for a puzzle letter. I understand the necessity for tapping the letter in the puzzle but not the keyboard. ### 4/5 — Interesting *2021-06-03, version 1.3.1* A quiet challenge, basic and simple. Good way to pass some time challenging word skills. ### 4/5 — Loved it so much I bought the full package but now it will not reset *2021-01-21, version 1.3.1* I found this to be both a challenging and fun word game. I played it everyday. When I completed all the puzzles, I did the reset but could find no way to erase all puzzles at once, so I just erased the first package and replayed those. Now none of them will reset, so I haven’t been able to use my purchase anymore. Can anyone help? ### 4/5 — Good App! *2020-07-19, version 1.3.1* The app is really good......I would have given 5 stars however....after you have completed the 12 free puzzles I think it is very expensive asking for £14.99 for the rest of the puzzles. You don't even offer a free daily puzzle. I am sorry to say that I will have to delete the app due to the price. This is a shame because it has the makings of being very good. ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2020-05-05, version 1.3.1* I play this game a lot. It is relaxing, yet challenging. One of my favorites. ### 5/5 — Great word game *2020-04-25, version 1.3.1* This game is so addictive. I love it. This is my first Blue Ox game....I will look for more! ### 5/5 — Nice! *2020-03-17, version 1.3.1* Very nice game love fact there are no timers would be great to have a free daily game ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-03-15, version 1.3.1* This is my new favorite game. ### 5/5 — Fun intro to crossword puzzles *2020-02-13, version 1.3.1* Great game to exercise my brain a little while relaxing. 😊 ### 5/5 — Best *2020-02-06, version 1.3.1* The best and most challenging but still solvable word game I’ve played in a while. Instantly hooked. ### 4/5 — Great game, but... *2020-01-22, version 1.3.1* I love this game. 😃 It’s the first truly unique word game that I’ve seen in a few years! Most word games are just variations on the same couple of games. This one’s different...kind of like Sudoku with words. I would have given it 5 stars, except that you only get about a dozen or two games for free, then you have to purchase the rest. 😕 ### 5/5 — Accessibility is A+ *2019-12-27, version 1.3.0* Very well done for Accessibility to me, a blind Woven player. ### 5/5 — Something different *2019-10-24, version 1.3.0* A challenging new word game that is pitched at the not too difficult not too easy level ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2019-07-29, version 1.3.0* Blue Ox makes great games! This is another example - it’s fun to fill in the words and use logic to determine the answers! A combo of crossword and word fill-ins games! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It looks like it would be fun, but... *2020-06-12, version 1.3.1* You only get the first 12 beginner levels for free. I know that there are often “In-app purchases...” but c’mon. It certainly isn’t interesting enough to pay what they’re asking for the complete game. I’d rather watch an ad for a few moments and get more levels. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Seems interesting *2019-07-16, version 1.3.0* Did the beginners level & seemed to be an interesting game yet I get to the next level & you have to buy all the next levels. No thank you, not worth it. I’d rather play other crossword games where there’s no need to buy levels. ### 1/5 — Pay to Play *2018-10-09, version 1.2.0* Only a few free puzzles, then you must buy the rest! ### 1/5 — Have to pay for all new puzzles *2018-07-13, version 1.1.0* Unlike other games, there are no free daily puzzles after you finish the 12 “Beginner” puzzles. Give it a miss.1 ### 1/5 — Mad *2018-05-05, version 1.0.0* This game is awful. When I put in my letters it says it’s wrong, than when I use my ffee letter it’s was right ? You need to fix this ### 1/5 — What a rip off *2018-04-28, version 1.0.0* I downloaded Woven Words as I have really like the other Blue Ox games. I started playing using the free clues and was asked if I wanted to purchase some clues, which I did after some prompting. When I reached the end of the beginner level, you have to buy all other games. I so have all the clues that have never been used and I am not buying the other levels. ### 1/5 — Terrible Game *2018-04-22, version 1.0.0* I have every Blue Ox game so I was excited when another game came out. Their previous games were better than any other so I jumped right in and bought this game for $9.99. I’m so sorry I did. It’s not challenging. I even started from the bottom. And it drags. One letter at a time, please. The format feels dated. I deleted it. Save your money. Sorry Blue Ox. ### 2/5 — NOT free! *2020-12-14, version 1.3.1* This is a fun game. It’s listed as “free”. It absolutely is not free. Don’t be fooled it costs $15! ### 2/5 — Left Hanging *2019-07-22, version 1.3.0* I was really getting into this game when I finished the beginners level only to find out that I would have to purchase more puzzles. I was left hanging. I am really looking forward to the daily puzzles. ### 2/5 — Woven Words *2019-03-09, version 1.3.0* This is a great game. I was hesitant to buy more games because there was a mistake in one of the free games, but I like this type of game and bought all of the games. I just found another error.....this one had the word bazaar and the last letter “r” was alone. I kept playing trying to find a solution with either an “a” or “i” as the last letter (the only single letter words). I finally used a clue to solve. Sorry....but when you charge money to play, you need to have error-free puzzles. Maybe this should be a free game.....please refund my purchase price! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Calming Brain Exercise *2024-07-06, version 1.3.1* Loving the ad-less format. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2023-06-20, version 1.3.1* Great game😀 Good clean fun that exercises the brain. I love the Blue Ox series of games ### 5/5 — Playing with Words *2022-11-16, version 1.3.1* Each puzzle is a fun journey with a great reward upon solving it! ### 5/5 — Hooked! *2021-09-25, version 1.3.1* I’m hooked on this game. It’s challenging & fun. I wasn’t sure about it when I first tried the free games. But as I got better at it, I really enjoyed playing it. I have to limit myself to one or two games a day so the pack will last longer. If you enjoy crossword puzzles, give this a try. ### 5/5 — Woven Words *2021-05-18, version 1.3.1* Addicting, challenging, learning AND brain, word, vocabulary enhancing. Love it! ### 5/5 — Fun, Challenging, Very Entertaining *2021-05-05, version 1.3.1* These are Terrific sets of puzzles that are always entertaining and occasionally Seriously Challenging, i.e., Perfect! 👏🥰 ### 5/5 — Nice game *2020-12-03, version 1.3.1* Simple to use. Challenging. Fun. Time killer. ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable! *2020-10-25, version 1.3.1* This is one of the most enjoyable word games that I play. ### 5/5 — Woven words *2020-07-01, version 1.3.1* Challenging enjoyable ### 5/5 — Vanishing keyboard *2020-05-09, version 1.3.1* Great game. Sometimes more than one answer so you have to work across and down to solve it. But the keyboard drops off until you touch a square. I would love to have the keyboard stay on. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
