Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is a very fun word puzzle. Easy to use, but very challenging. Thumbs up.
This game has a better dictionary than many of these games do, which cuts down on frustration when you know something is a word, but the game insists it isn't. It also has a relaxing no timer mode we really enjoy.
Yes we play this game incessantly.
Enlightening, educational, entertaining.
Love playing.Always a challenge.
This is a fun word game that you can do just about anywhere.
We love this game … No "in app purchases" …. No life to die off and no crap … All you do is find words with the letters and play, play, play … We really love playing this game and highly recommend … Kudos to the makers.
We have always enjoyed these word-finding games. This one is great–we can play alone in landscape mode on all our iPads. It's challenging and brain-stimulating. Only thing we would change is the colors–do not care for the lime green! (perhaps make optional color themes). Highly recommend.
Like this challenging time killer.
Good game. Always a challenge.
Great game. Thanks for putting in the work, dev.
But this game is just as challenging: a lot of fun.
Enjoying the ease of use on this app. However, the word bank needs to be updated to include more recent vocabulary. Additionally, each time you want to put in words quickly, the app does not keep up. We hope this can be fixed.
Good game overall but we just hate when it begs for a review almost once daily. Please change that and we may give you 5 stars.
Our grandkids love the game as do our middle aged kids. You can make it more intense by setting a time limit. Using less common letters gives more points. Makes the doctors waiting room easier to bear.
We do this game! We play every day. Sometimes Ill play a 5 minute game, but occasionally Ill switch to unlimited time. We can play for days, or even weeks, on the same game. Its interesting to do a long game because Ill close a days play when we can find no more words. When we open the game the following day Ill find more. Its good challenge to see just how far we can go.
We found this game while looking for boggle. We needed a reading/word game for a summer reading clinic for kids who struggle with reading. This game is a winner with the fourth grade kids (going into 5th), and we love it too.
Great game, amazing word engine. Why is there not an option to be able to rotate the tiles? Helps in finding more words. This is a standard function in any word search game. Thanks.
MYou can make it as easy or challenging as you like. Easy to see even for those who have some difficulty seeing. Our favorite game.
Simple to play and lots of long words to find.
Ive been playing word seek for years now. We love it when Im waiting in lines or at night easing into rest time.
We like playing in infinite mode to see how many words we can get.
So far we like it. Just started playing yesterday. Works well so far no crashes. Its fun and challenging.
A really good word seek game. You cant come close to finding all the words its amazing. Our niece is also hooked on it now.
The only thing is whenever we play someone else in the challenge section, the app shuts down and we cant see who won.
We have played this great game so many times that we recognize many of the boards. Please add some new boards.
Ive been playing this game over and over for years now. We love learning new words and if you do, then this game is for you. Its not easy but we get better each time we play. We would have given it 5 stars, but although our high score shows up on our screen, its not reflected in the overall leaderboard. If it were, Id be in the top 1%. Id really like to see this corrected, then Id give it the 5 stars it deserves.
This is fun game and a good replacement for boggle. Like at least one of the reviews Ive seen, this game definitely need to rotate button so that you can look at the board from more than one side.
There doesnt seem to be a way to save a game in progress so that you could play a different group of letters after getting stuck way, way short of 100%. BTW landscape doesnt work on our 2017 iPad.
It needs to rotate with the screen. You can only hold it one way and that is super annoying.
After boggle stopped being supported, this is the best replacement we find. It would be nice if it had a real dictionary though.
We really like this game, but other than the ad supported version, it hasn't been updated for years. It's strange that those of us who've paid for it are penalized by no updates, when those who put up with ads and music get more frequent updates.Developer please pay attention to this version.
Marred by a buggy interface. We enjoy games of this type, and played many of them. This one suffers from an interface that just does not work. Letters are either included when you have not selected them, or it misses or confuses letters you have selected. Very distracting to have thr game miss your choice three times in a row, only to finally accept it in the end. This could be a 5 star app if it played correctly.
Im seeing the same letter charts far too often.
This is a fun way to challenge your mind as well as keep you eye/ hand coordination sharp. Unfortunately, the author of the program has used a dictionary database that is sorely lacking. For example, common words like stent and lasered are not seen as words; these are only two examples of many. Entering a commonly accepted and standard usage word and having it deemed incorrect detracts significantly fro what would otherwise be an excellent product.
This app mostly works in single player with occasional crashes. In multiplayer it almost always crashes and whats up with texting an invite? Why cant we play the same person again.
Dont expect to play the challenge mode where you can play with friends. If you can send the request, nothing happens. Wont connect and start a game. Only crashes.
This game would be great if not for the constant mid game crashes. We bought the pay version thinking that it would be better seeing as the free version only crashed during the ads at the end of the game. That issue caused our scores to not save to the leaderboard which was a minor annoyance and combined with ads being gone seemed worth 2 bucks to deal with. How wrong we were! In the pay version the game still crashes either mid game or after the game and will not record your score if it does. Complete waste of money and will be requesting a refund from App Store in the morning.
They keep sticking this review thing in the way.
We just started playing this game and have found it to be highly addictive! Cant wait to learn more about this app as time goes on. Love it.
This is our game to relax and enjoy words! No worry about timers, just find new words.
We really like this game. Keeps our mind sharp and we love that we don't have to compete with anyone but ourselves! Great to kill time waiting for an appointment.
Fun game but needs play & pass feature.
We have been playing this app for years. As of the last update it will no longer let you play a game unlimited by time that goes on for more than a day. Well, technically you can keep playing but after you leave and re-open the game your score is gone and you cannot accumulate any more points. We dont know why developers keep ignoring the best advice ever given: If it aint broke, dont fix it. We used to rate it 4 stars when our biggest gripe was that you cant rotate the board like you can in Boggle.
Pleas check your spellings and add more words came across a word today in your list tenias. We were in familiar with the word and checked for the definition in the dictionary. The word tenia is listed but the plural is teniae not tenias.
The game is good, has excellent dictionary. But we detest the ads each time a game is completed. Many of the ads are videos, and even though you can exit, they will load and start first. The game with the really comprehensive dictionary is better than most and would easily score 5 stars, but the annoyance of the ads for our use has us making a stand at only 2 stars.
We have been playing this word game for a few years. We like the large tiles for these less than dexterous fingers. We really like that they show you a list of possible words at the end of the game. This helps you build skills and vocabulary. Hope to continue playing this for a long while.
App freezes and then new download does same thing.
Well designed, straight forward, as challenging as you want. A great little brain stimulating break.
We play this game several times a day, always trying to beat our best score.
