## Player Experience Highlights
**Community Insight:**
Love playing this game, we like a challenge.
___
Just started but so far so good.
___
We play this for our train your brain activity at our retirement community! Our residents love it.
___
When are you going to add a second level.
___
We really enjoy this. Some of them make us think really hard.
___
Love rebuses, they make you think.. Very enjoyable game.
___
We enjoy this game but would prefer a better hints system.
___
Our very old mother and we sit together and wait till each other figures it out on two different iPads, when a commercial comes on she often thinks its part of the game. Wish you would have your commercials be announced or something like that, maybe if you need a clue, you watch the commercial then you get your help with one of the clues you picked other then that we have enjoyed these together.
___
Same, need more options to move on.
___
We love the challenge of this game! It really gets your brain working! Just wish they would add a way to buy one letter hints with the coins earned.
___
Nice game but it makes you leave a review to get past level 17.
___
GreatGreat game but we need more help when it when we cant get it we need to be able to get more clues or finally somebody be able to work to tell us the answer.
___
We had gotten to the puzzle that was scrambled eggs and it kept popping up, asking to give a rate whenever we would hit later it would just reset the puzzle back to the one we had already solved not to continue because of that.
___
We like the game but it needs more functionality. The option to reveal the answer or move on without solving the puzzle, more hints, etc.we paid .99 to get rid of the ads, would have paid more to have more features.
___
Cool game . Should give more credit when getting a word phrase right.
___
There needs to be a way to obtain free coins when you get stuck in the puzzle.
___
After every riddle there is an advertisement for another game/app. You end up spending more time watching the video than solving the riddle. This makes the game more frustrating than fun. If there was less interruptions, we would have scored it higher. Thanks.
___
Cant continue in the game unless we rate the game. We Would have given more stars but you blew it with that.
___
We don't like the fact that the game forces you to write a review in order to continue playing.
___
Like the game, dumb that it forced us to review.
___
Think its ridiculous they force you to make a review early in the game to even continue playing. Was having fun but will be deleting, but heres your review guys.
___
SHUT OFF ALL SOUND OPTIONPLEASE.
___
This is a good game. But it has WAY too many political ads. Would like it to not use them as world is already inundated with it. We go to games for relaxation.
___
Good Idea forcing people to rate a game before continuing to the next levels. Real brainwork there guys.
___
Like the game but they made us rate them to keep playing so we gave them 1 star. Ill rate you if we feel like it.
___
If you let us put our answer before putting a review then we would have given you a good review. But do you didnt so here you go.
___
Iykyk, if not, play this game the you'll know why we gave it 1 star.
___
There is no help no hints gives coins but doesnt explain how to use them - only way to play is find the chest in the net.
___
Hi. Im forced to write this review in order to keep playing. We give 1 star.
___
Why is it replaying the same level over and over.
___
Kept replaying the same level over and over.
___
There are no more levels after 280 so you cant play and/or use your coins. Wrote to ask them when will there be more levels...no reply! Dont waste your time playing this game.
___
Would not let us continue to the next question until we gave it a rating. We would have given it a higher rating if we wasnt forced to give a rating.
___
That it forced us to review it before we could continue. So it gets 1 star.
___
To review so they get a bad review.
___
Can get pretty fun with internet of really workin your problem solving and thinking outside the box!! Game gets a from us.
___
This game is so addicting. We just hope it lasts longer than some of the others.
___
We've played for a couple of years now and still enjoy this game. It's also fun to have competitions with others to see who gets it first. When we run out of coins, we wait until they give us a hint.
___
Amazing word puzzles; very clever and some are really hard.
___
Excellent Game... Makes you think...Lots of Fun.
___
We're getting addicted to this game; some of the puzzles are really easy but others are real stumpers!! Have to agree with another reviewer who is upset when you "buy" a hint then it all goes away if your game is interrupted; you've lost your Hint and your coins and that stinks. Otherwise, great game.
___
Finally a game we can play that doesn't make us nervous and keeps our mind busy. Thanks and no ads.
___
This game has different levels of difficulty, which is not a changeable option, that with each new puzzle changes. You can have a medium level, next a very very hard, then a very simple puzzle (or any variety of difficulty - five easy in a row). This really is all for the best though. You start off with a puzzle, blank boxes to put in your answer (you know how many and long each word is by the boxes and spacing), and below that, are a selection of the letters needed for the answer with just a few extra letters (the actual number varies with length of answer) to make it interesting. If you are unsure, you can type in an answer and guess, if wrong you don't get any points taken away. Also available to you is a button that takes away 3 wrong letters, but "costs" you coins (you win these with each correct answer); another button will place a correct letter in its spot, this also "costs" you coins. If you are still confused as to the correct answer you can select for the game to send you hints to your phone. If turned on (this is standard, which you are asked with a prompt, upon your first time playing, if you want it to be on or off), you are first sent a clue (after a day) with the FIRST LETTER of the answer; after another day you are sent a clue that contains the ENTIRE SOLUTION to the puzzle you stopped playing at. If you prefer, the hints can be changed (you can opt to get no notifications, have the notifications go directly to your phones pull down missed menu, or as a reminder that you have to respond to) in your iPhones settings. Alas, we think this game is very fun, since you can never really lose. If you don't have enough coins to get a clue or remove letters, all you have to do is wait for them to be sent to you. For us, having the random difficulty of puzzles helps us to come to a natural break in game play (example, when we come upon a puzzle that will take us too much time to figure out), so we can go back to our life off of the iPhone/iPad. It is almost like a built-in timer mode, which is good for this neurosurgeon to have.
___
Fun game. We play as a family.
___
This game is fun, and so addicting.
___
Love the game! Been waiting for several months for the update.
___
It's a bit tricky because we're new to these type of word games but we absolutely love the challenge and the app :).
___
This game is awesome and addicting.
___
Always makes sense once you solve the puzzle.
___
We love pictogram puzzles. This is a fun app but sometimes it can be pretty difficult. Worth it.
