### 4/5 — Fun but a little glitchy

*2022-09-03, version 1.2.2*

I really like the puzzle game it’s a brilliant twist on Wordle. BUT… solutions consistently break the games own rules which make it really annoying. Eg you aren’t supposed to repeat letters in the same position if they aren’t in the final word. Yet todays solution required just that (though it rejected my solution that had fewer repeats - one, where the “correct” solution had 2). Up your game Wurder! It’s a bummer for an otherwise awesome little game!

### 2/5 — It broke

*2022-08-29, version 1.2.2*

I was playing Wurdle with my husband and friends and suddenly, they all have the same word daily but my word is different.  I still play but it’s not fun anymore because they all challenge each other and I can’t.

### 2/5 — FIX THE ISSUES

*2022-08-28, version 1.2.2*

this game is great, super fun. But the incorrect clues throughout are incredibly frustrating making it almost impossible to solve, particularly the third “ELDRUW” game. This really needs to be fixed.

### 4/5 — Just needs a little tweak!

*2022-08-26, version 1.2.2*

I thoroughly enjoy this game! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because you must put the letters up in order (from left to right) instead of randomly.

### 3/5 — New words PLEEEAASSSE

*2022-08-22, version 1.2.2*

Love this game but it was so much more fun when you didn’t use the same words as The NY Times Wordle game.

### 2/5 — Same daily word as NYT…

*2022-08-21, version 1.2.2*

I like the new design. But it boggles my mind why they use the same word as NYT. Used to be fun being able to play two  different games s day, now it’s just one.  Too bad.

### 2/5 — What just happened?

*2022-08-20, version 1.2.2*

Looks like someone got threatened by the NYT? Strange how the app’s two other functions just vanished? Was such a nice app though.

### 4/5 — New color pallet

*2022-08-13, version 1.2.2*

Do not like the new color pallet, need the option to user adjust.

### 5/5 — Not the same game!

*2022-08-09, version 1.2.2*

The new version of this game with the update as of August 7 is completely different than the game me and my family have fled for the past eight months I have no idea what you did with the original but please bring it back.

### 3/5 — Double letters not identified

*2022-08-08, version 1.2.2*

App does not indicate when there are two of the same letters when one is in the correct location and one is not.

### 5/5 — Wurdle

*2022-08-08, version 1.2.2*

It’s fun and I love sharing with family and friends ♥️

### 5/5 — Why I Like WURDLE

*2022-08-08, version 1.2.2*

WURDLE has no ads popping up. It’s very clean and sophisticated in that it offers only one game per 24 hr period.  
Please don’t jack around with it. It’s perfect.

### 1/5 — Zero CHILL

*2023-04-18*

I don’t understand what happened to the CHILL option of this game (the original style) - I had it on my previous phone the other day, and when I had to get a new phone I downloaded this again and I’m very disappointed to see that there is no way to just play the simple, straightforward version of this game.

Why does it have “CHILL” in the title if that’s not even an option??!

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2023-01-19, version 1.2.2*

After the latest update, I only have the backwards game. Where is the regular game and the timed game? I have no interest in the backward game.

### 1/5 — Eldruw

*2022-12-01, version 1.2.2*

I really liked this at first, but it doesn’t follow its own rules.  It tells you, you are not allowed to play a certain letter in a certain place but the answer has that letter in that place. It is just stupid and frustrating.

### 1/5 — Deceiving game

*2022-08-25, version 1.2.2*

I began using his application as a supplement to the New Your Times newspaper popular word game. Initially it seemed the daily word was different and there were two different opportunities to enjoy guessing. Now it appears the word to be guessed is the same word in both places. What a disappointment.

### 1/5 — NY Times Copy Cat

*2022-08-25, version 1.2.2*

Since changing the format to chill it is using the same word each night as the New York Times Wordle word.

### 1/5 — Copycat ☹️

*2022-08-19, version 1.2.2*

I enjoyed the app before the update because it gave my friends and I another word challenge to do each day. Now it is just a copycat word from the Times Wordle. So sad. We are all deleting the app.

### 1/5 — Same words as Wordle

*2022-08-12, version 1.2.2*

I liked to play both this and Wordle. With this update the solutions are the same each day.

### 1/5 — COMPLETELY CHANGED AND WONT SVEN GIVE THE OPTION TO GO BACK TO OG WURLDE

*2022-08-06, version 1.2.1*

why would you completely change the game and not even leave the option to change it back to the original atleast add the old mode back.

### 1/5 — I want the old version back

*2022-08-06, version 1.2.1*

This new game is frustrating and I hate it! Way too many choices and the hints are not helpful.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-04-09, version 1.0.4*

Terrible game.  Doesn’t give you the correct letters even if you put them in.

### 5/5 — WURDLE is “wurth” it!

*2023-05-05*

Stimulating and fun. Definitely more challenging and interesting than regular Wordle. 

Each of three modes makes you think about words in a different way.

Feel like racing? UNCHILL mode is specifically for you. You’ve got to think fast and furiously. No time to use the dictionary. The clock is ticking! 

Do you like to think backwards and/or spend a long time pondering while possibly standing on your head? The ELDRUW mode might be just your cup of tea. That’s WURDLE spelled backwards. You start with the final word and work your way backwards. There are prompts, so feedback is available, thank you, and you have three tries to check your work as you go along. 

And if you just want to relax, then CHILL mode is for you. Take your time, smile, have a cup of coffee, talk story with friends. Unwind and enjoy. 

Do all three modes first thing in the morning? Definitely, if that’s your choice. Or you can spread out the menu choices - like three meals a day - breakfast lunch and dinner.

WURDLE - it’s “wurth” your time!

### 5/5 — A Nice Challenge

*2023-02-16, version 1.2.2*

This games exercises the mind.  The only issue, selfishly, is that it only comes out once daily.  Maybe one in the AM, then one in the PM?

### 5/5 — Just fun

*2022-11-10, version 1.2.2*

Keeps me going on a daily routine.

### 5/5 — Wurdle plus 2 other games and no advertisements

*2022-10-16, version 1.2.2*

Wurdle is fun and solvable. The 2nd game Chill is 5 Wurdles in timed mode so it’s much harder but fun once you get used to the speed. The Chill scores in percentages of how many are solved.  Eldruw is a Wurdle partially solved, with some letters available for each blank. Eldruw’s dictionary of allowed words is small so 
the trick is to solve it many times, eventually hopefully guessing the correct words: less skill, more a test of persistence. This App is free and without Ads. It plays flawlessly; no glitches.

### 5/5 — How to unlock chill mode….

*2022-10-09, version 1.2.2*

If you go into settings and rapidly tap the snowflake, it unlocks the mode that is just like NY Times wordle!

### 5/5 — Double letters

*2022-09-20, version 1.2.2*

Its a love hate relationship when double letters are involved

### 5/5 — How to get to chill

*2022-09-17, version 1.2.2*

My wife has this app and plays chill, I downloaded it and I can’t get to chill. Only have backward games. How can I get chill?

### 5/5 — It’s gone!

*2022-09-16, version 1.2.2*

I love this game! Play it everyday and then the buttons stopped working on the Eldruw phase two days ago! So I deleted and reinstalled the app hoping to fix my problem! Now my regular Wurdle phase and fire phase are gone. The only section I can play is the Eldruw! I need my game back!

### 5/5 — Sad

*2022-08-19, version 1.2.2*

Very sad that the NYT has now taken W and C and made the wird of the day mirror theirs. No longer two games to play in one day. Does it have to stay this way???!?!?  Disappointing!

### 5/5 — Wake up time.

*2022-08-11, version 1.2.2*

A good way to wake up my brain daily.
