Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is a great got a minute game. Challenging but not to difficult. For five years this has been our go to for quick fun.
Love it, each time we installed it, it was new words.
Really like the game…..keeps us thinking.
We always try to find games like this. The kind that we can't stop playing…..ever.
Great & Addicting game, you won't be disappointed.
We just started playing tonight and we like the challenge of having to think outside the box to solve all puzzles. It definitely engages your brain to think of alternatives.
We only got to level 4 than it stopped on us but its a good game if you can get pass level 4. We are upset about that.
We play every night. It's so relaxing.
Great word game. We like the low key computing, which you can attend to or ignore.
Love the game need more puzzle 5 stars.
This is a really fun game to play but kinda hard.
Very good game. Great brain teaser and extremely addictive. Good brain exercise.
This is fun to play – harder than it looks.
Our new addiction. Absolutely love this game! Thank you.
The word puzzles are unlike other word games. Trust Absolutist to come up with something new. We've been enjoying their games since the Palm game matching butterflies. Lindathai.
This is a very enjoyable and you need to put on your thinking caps. Keeps your brain working. YogiZPoole we do not know what happened to Scramble Words but we had over 100 hints left. We enjoy Words and Riddles but we had to buy hints on this game also. We would like to know where our, over 100 hints, are located. We really like your games but we will stop playing them if this is not explained to us.
We enjoy the game very much we were getting a lot of levels when first started playing the game. But now. We only get 5 levels what happened… Otherwise we really love the game gets our brain going Thank. We played the game a lot and we liked it very much now we can only get to 5 levels even though we should be able to play all 40 after we play the 5 levels it freezes we don,t like this it is very frustrating so we are going to quit playing it what have you done to this game no fun any more Helen.
We absolutely love this game! It's challenging but easy and it's definitely a lot of fun. We really like the you have the option to submit your own games. The only thing we don't like is that you only get 10 (at least that's what it gave to us) free puzzles and then you have to pay to get more. :/ There should be more free levels before you have to buy things.
Great game, but it froze when we refused the request to write a review.
Cool game. It just has a glitch at level 5 that is so annoying.
It took us a while to figure out how to play this! We thought that the end result would look like a crossword puzzle. We don't play this competitively at all and could care less when we are informed of an "opponent's" score. We take our time and enjoy the music that comes along with this app. We wish there were a way to get back to a specific puzzle if we want to stop before completing it.
It annoys us so bad when you can see what the other person is doing and we see their score going up even though there not even getting words!!!!!!!! Their just switching letters!!!!!:( :(.
It's great to have to not only envision the correct words, but to play against an opponent at the same time.
This is such a fun word game. We don't understand the riddle part of it.
Fun to play even though there's a glitch in level 5.
Interesting. Keeps the mind working. Like it.
Super entretenido lo recomiendo 1000%.
It froze up when we chose not to rate it. Had to uninstall, reinstall then when we got to Level 4, got yet another pop up to rate it. Decided to rate it this time so that we can continue on, for how long, only time will tell.
We like it, it's a game that stimulates the brain.
Good game. Makes us use our brain.
It's a fun, time consuming game.
It lets us pass the time when we're bored.
Makes student think if they are making a real word but they frequently need prompting to look at the word and not just guess.
It is really good game and having a good time.
Fun! It really challenges your mind.
We really like the game but if we don't have time to finish it the next time we open it, it's a brand new game. Very frustrating.
Like the game but it is very frustrating to have to delete and download several times to get past level 4. Makes you want to forget it.
Seems like it has crashed way too many times. Love the game concept though.
Why can't we go back to lower level? We paid and it stuck be at 41. We wanted to go to 11.
Can't move on in the game until we rate it. Fun when we can play.
Annoying ads and won't let you continue game without a rating.
Fun game. Having opponents makes you think fast.
Game keeps getting "stuck" every few levels–only game we have problems. Too bad because it is fun.
We love the game. However,every time they ask to rate it,the game freezes up. We deleted it ,started over, and it froze again. We guess we are finished with this game.
It not gets to like level 5 then when it says to rate it it freezes.
Once again after reaching a high score it completely disappears. When we log on to play we are asked for our name again as a new player and our score is gone. The only player that seems to keep a high score is Nan or Nanze. Beginning to believe unless you are one of the two names we mentioned you will never keep your score nor win this game. Very disappointing… Very odd.
It is a fun game but you can only play 4 or 5 levels before it asks you to rate it and if you hit "remind us later" or "no thanks" the game freezes and you cannot play anymore…pointless app but it would have been fun.
The game is interesting but we can't continue beyond level 4. We would pay for an upgrade without ads just to check it out.
Game asked us if we wanted to read it. We said no. And now the game is stuck. We have no choice but to delete the game. It won't let us do anything.
Game is great but messed up as it keeps freezing and also can't get beyond 5 levels. Also, keep having to delete and download game! Very frustrating.
