I have really enjoyed playing it for the few months since downloading. Unfortunately I have noticed my phone battery overheating while I’m playing and draining my battery life. ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-01-16, version 2.3* Loving this game with the cute sounds and animations. I’d really love to play in Modern Greek too! ### 2/5 — Global leadership boards not showing any data this morning on iOS26 iPhone *2025-12-27, version 2.3* Global leadership boards not showing any data this morning on iOS26 iPhone. Leadership tables shows fine on old iPad though. Wouldn’t mind but I got a good score ! Please fix ### 4/5 — Original and fun *2025-12-21, version 2.3* My only complaint is that I wish more variety was added to the word list, as a regular player I recognize the same list of words being used over and over in the daily puzzles which gets a bit stale after a while. Also, the challenges are all gone and that’s a bummer, basically I want an extended edition, some more things added! Oh also, The make your own puzzle is great but it sucks you can’t play it all the way through, rather it stops after a number of words which is frustrating. Download this if you love word games. I play it every day, because it is truly one of a kind, the likes of which I haven’t found anywhere across the App Store. Take my word for it; I have tried every word game there is. ### 4/5 — Très bien mais *2025-10-14, version 2.3* Le principe est très sympas le seul hic c est le classement la plus part du temps il ne fonctionne pas ce qui donne pas envie d améliorer sa grille ### 4/5 — Endless puzzles *2025-09-24, version 2.3* I’m enjoying the game but I think it would be better if there was a mode with a bigger board ### 3/5 — This game is fun but there is room for improvement *2025-07-16, version 2.3* I enjoy this game, the puzzles are challenging. I wish the words were easier to rotate sometimes I spend minutes trying to get a word to rotate the way I want it to and it won’t. I also wish that there was more hint on the nonplaceable words. Like which one is causing the error? I like the challenge but sometimes it’s a bit annoying. ### 2/5 — Used to be fun *2025-05-19, version 2.3* I’ve been playing this for years now, but recently it’s more like an exercise in frustration than a game. The words you’re given seem to only go in one place with the words already placed. And they’re either too short so you miss out on collecting more words or too long and don’t fit on the board. Nine times out of ten I simply quit in frustration rather than completing the board. It’s pretty disappointing because I used to really like this one. ### 4/5 — Ottimo *2025-04-24, version 2.3* Un ottimo titolo che fa passare il tempo con piacere. ### 5/5 — Mega cool *2025-04-02, version 2.3* Ich liebe dises Spiel weil ich dises kleie Monster so süß finde .Ich finde dises Spiel hat 5 Sterne verdint.😃 ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2025-03-29, version 2.3* I have played this game for years, whenever I have Apple Arcade this is all I play. It would be nice if I could buy it on its own because I don’t want to pay monthly just to play this. But it’s AMAZING favorite word game!!! ### 5/5 — Woah *2025-03-20, version 2.3* So fun, kids love it too ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-06-03, version 2.3* Loads daily game then after a couple of minutes freezes & then closes. Running iPadOs 26.5 ### 1/5 — Leaderboard Glitchy *2026-05-22, version 2.3* This used to be great but for the last 6 months the leaderboard randomly registers nothing. Reported but no sign of it being fixed ### 1/5 — Full of bugs *2026-01-09, version 2.3* Valid words like “no” and “at” prevent words from being placed. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Ok now lost game history with latest (Assume ‘Game’ app?) changes to Leaderboards *2025-12-29, version 2.3* Looks like the new Game App has destroyed the logic behind daily leaderboards on Wurdweb. Shame. Developers, perhaps you could talk to Apple? ### 1/5 — Who designed these controls. *2025-04-02, version 2.3* Another garbage game on Apple Arcade. How about a simple word search, or word guessing game? Why does everything have to have a gimmick. ### 1/5 — Do not waste your time! *2024-10-06, version 2.2* This game doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Flawed *2024-07-31, version 2.1* No way to get out of a game without exiting it. No menu? Stayed stuck in the tutorial for a long time only with an undo button. It’s so awful. I’m not paying for Arcade another month. So many worthless games like this one. ### 1/5 — words placed instead of points - please *2024-01-20, version 2.1* I love this game. However, I wish it were still scored by how many words placed, instead of this version of points. It really has taken the challenge and fun from the game, in my opinion. May we have both or a choice - number of words placed on board AND/OR the current points by placement? Thank you! ### 1/5 — Fav game I’m angry *2023-06-14, version 2.1* My favourite game play for hours a day, overnight with no official update the interface has changed it no longer fits on my iPhone 12 screen, I can’t see my score whilst playing, how can an interface change with no update and why would you make changes that don’t work for all devices ### 1/5 — Used to be amazing. Developer ruined *2022-06-03, version 2.1* This is my first review ever. But I had to note that this used to be the most fun word game I ever played. The weekly and monthly modes were so engaging and made you want to come back for more. Then they decided to update it and make them smaller…. Not as great but okay. Then they absolutely ruined it with a new update that changes them to points. It completely changed the point of the game and ruined the fun. WHY can’t you have the old version and the new version as separate options? The popularity of this game was based entirely on the old version. Why ruin what was working so well? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game so much *2026-03-05, version 2.3* Superb game! I started playing and literally can’t stop. ### 5/5 — A great game for word puzzle lovers! *2026-02-24, version 2.3* At first i thought this was either a remake of scrabble or a simple crossword game, I was wrong. I’ve never played this style of word game and i absolutely love it. ### 5/5 — GREAT GAME *2026-01-06, version 2.3* LOVE IT, MAYBE A SMALL CUSTOMIZATION/DESIGN /CLOTHING UPDATE FOR THE CUTE LITTLE WALKING GUYS COULD BE GOOD ### 5/5 — Challenging & simulating *2026-01-03, version 2.3* Played this years ago on my son’s iPad. Been looking for it ever since but couldn’t remember the name. Hubby gave me an iPad for Christmas & l was elated to stumble upon the game! Various modes from relaxed fun to challenging but doable. No timer is great bc it takes thought & time but it’s so satisfying when l get it right! ### 5/5 — Very fun!! *2025-12-22, version 2.3* Love the challenges!!! More people should be playing this!!! ### 5/5 — Wurdweb *2025-12-19, version 2.3* I really love this game. It makes your brain think! I also love the fact that there are no ads so you can concentrate more. ### 5/5 — Ta chido *2025-09-28, version 2.3* Xd ### 5/5 — Jogabilidade *2025-07-21, version 2.3* Muito gostoso e desafiante jogar, principalmente os desafios diários. ### 5/5 — Word web is pretty great! *2025-06-03, version 2.3* I think that word web is my favorite crossWURD puzzle!

This game is great highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Un buen juego *2025-04-19, version 2.3* Es un juego muy entretenido, y te hace pensar --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
