Community Insight:
We cant start the app over anymore. It gives us an error. We loved playing a second time but it wont let us play a third time.
We absolutely love this app. We wish it would update more levels. We are almost done with it and we would do more.
Love this word search puzzle. Just hard enough to make us determined to finish. Just wish background colors were much brighter to be a bigger contrast to the finished words. Hard on older eyes.
Great game. Although we hope we dont regret giving this review it seems every time we do something changes and not for the better.
Our husband and we work this game together . Which makes it a lot of fun . We work on a while and then takes the tablet and plays. We are glad we found this game.
Is a very good stress reliever has a very good coming affect on us LEGS II.
We absolutely loved these searches! Please create more.
The game is cool. We like the fact that you have a timer that lets you know when an ad is coming that is a great idea! If you are reading the reviews you might want to check spelling in the Golden Brown section. We are not sure what a chupmunk is, wondering if you meant chipmunk? If you meant chupmunk would really like to know what it is. The music is awesome too. Not overly loud or distracting. Keep up the good work. Update: Completed the game it was awesome. Still love the music and love the heads up on ads. Most games throw ads at you with no warning. Great work.
We love tge game but it is kind of hard .we have not completed level one yet.
Lots of hours of fun !! We didnt pay for no adds threw the whole thing. Yes we got tired of the adds and wished they werent there, but to have a free game, to paying for no adds wasnt right.
This games is very entertaining. This is our favorite word search game because its challenging.
This puzzle is big enough to be worth the download, yet not something unsolvable. Divided into smaller chunks, it's easy to organize a solution method. Each block is a different subject and color making it easy to break into bites. Very satisfying when you finally solve the whole thing.
Very nice game. Challenging. Addictive. Thanks, devs.
Love this new word search game. Has some flaws but still in the beginning stages. We had fun doing the series of puzzles. Took a long time but as we were completing the squares and seeing fewer squares left we were determined to get them done. And thats what we did. Felt great to have accomplished such a huge word search series of squares to equal 10K words. Great job to the makers of this puzzle.
Just finished it today! Hi! We loved this puzzle! It took a long time because we played for a while and then took breaks now and then which was perfect. We liked all of the categories and how each one was separated. It made it doable. We don't sleep well so we mostly play at night until we fall asleep. (we usually couldn't stop until we got at least one done and there were many nights that we had to do more, we're hooked haha) we were excited at the idea of completing 10 thousand words and the word selection was great too! We think we'll find another one of your large puzzles next. Thanks for making this app.
We were looking for something a little more challenging than a daily word search app. We found it with this app! Now we're on a mission to find all 10K words while working at our own pace. We would love to see a tally of the words left to find either by individual puzzle or of the total 10K.
Its so fun but its not letting us get the word PEZ.
In the Taylor Swift puzzle, you cannot get REVENGE to be selected. Ive been trying for weeks. It is tied in to word NEVERMIND (which is backwards DNIMREVEN). Closing app and restarting multiple times does not help. We have gone through the puzzle line by line and we are sure this is the only line REVENGE is on, and there arent two of them accidentally in the puzzle. Since we only have 37 puzzles completed, we are quite a ways away from completing the puzzle. But would sure like to make it 38, with a fix. Otherwise we love the puzzle and have found it challenging. Thank you.
Its a really great game but the only problem we have it the background color gives us a headache so Im hoping that they will make an update where you can change the background color to white when playing or so other lighter color.
It has advertisements after you exit one it pops up another one.
Ads after every game are 15 seconds long, force you to watch even if you already have the app being advertised. Way too tedious to put up with. Good bye.
Not sure how this app received great reviews. There are multiple words with the last letter or 2 missing. Ive went over it many times as long as a friend. There are words not even in the puzzle also. We used the hints and it gives us a letter that isnt in any of the words Dont waste your time. Very disappointing.
We love the game so much and completed the game this morning.
We don't normally write reviews but this kept our interest more than any game has in a long time. Every time we picked up our phone we wanted to play it! We wish we wasn't done with it but it kept our attention for hours and hours so we can't complain a bit.
We think the game is really great. We do wish it would work in landscape mode as well.
We love this word search but it keeps going to the App Store to get you to sign up for another game without touching anything. It's really frustrating trying to complete a topic and just when you think the glitch is not as disruptive, it happens again. We don't mind the ads but this other thing is too much! Can you remedy this? Sincerely, Ms. Marisa Rodriguez.
This game is so addicting!! No glitches this far.
Awesome game, we need another one.
Hours of word search fun. Love this app.
Great word search recommend to all search lovers Thank You for a great game Hope you make another one Thanks.
This is the way to play wordsearch. Love it.
Great puzzles. Easy to navigate with challenging puzzles. Like that it had so many puzzles with out having to load new games.
We finished it and we had a ball doing it. We love a challenge but not to hard that we lost interest in it.
We recently finished the puzzle. We worked one block at a time until done. We liked working the different panels. We found the different categories interesting.
We're 57 years old and have been doing Word Search Puzzles since we were 13 and this was the biggest and best we have ever tackled! We did them mostly when we went to bed as a way to calm our mind before sleeping, but the challenge to finish "just one more" many times kept us awake for hours! We loved the varied themes and being able to see how far along we were in every puzzle! More, please.
Loved the format and set up of this word search! Only wish is that there weren't so many adds! Definitely recommend for word game lovers.
We wasn't sure at first whether we would like this huge grid or not, until we figured it out. First off, it is worth paying for the advert removal, otherwise it's a little irritating. Second, the topics are ENDLESS!! We've only had to use the Hints 3 times so far. It's addicting!! Don't get frustrated. Keep at it. It's worth the fun.
First let us say we are a sucker for a word search puzzle so when we browsed through the App Store and found this one with so many great puzzles and they were big puzzles we were thrilled. We absolutely LOVED doing these puzzles in our downtime and you won't go wrong with Word Search 10k. Great job and now Im ready for more just like this. Woo hoo.
Loved this word search, hope they have another one.
This game is amazing! Great topics, format, and layout! Highly recommended.
After searching and trying many word search programs out there, we were thrilled to find this one! Finally something challenging! A must have for all puzzle lovers.
We really love this game but we got a new device and when the first ad popped up after ten minutes we closed it except then it immediately showed another ad and it said the app will show adverts every 0 minutes and we kept hitting dismiss but it popped up over and over again. We tried deleting the app and downloading it again and it seemed ok for the first few times the ads popped up but it eventually started doing it again. We don't want to have to delete it again.
Just finished this epic puzzle. Loved it!!! Want more.
We love this kind of puzzle, this format, and this version. It was challenging to complete especially when the subject matter wasn't familiar to us; like Harry Potter or Twilight. We like to finish what we start so we kept at it whenever we had a free moment; waiting rooms, in the line at the drive-thru, during commercials, etc. We don't have much free time as we are a caretaker for an adult child with special needs and up to 4 grandchildren at any given time and we have an at home sewing/embroidery business, but we are excited to have finished the big 10K.
This is a great game enjoy every square to the end. Make more this size. Thanks.
Lots of fun! Works well. Would love to see many more this size.
After finally figuring out how to do this puzzle, we were simply in love. Every free minute we could squeeze out of the day, you would find us head down, squinting, twisting and turning to do just one more. Love, love, love it.
Love it. Love it, Just finishing up the second timer along with all the others by the same company.
Awesome word search. We've been looking for a puzzle like this for a long time. Love it.
We love this app and we play it all the time, we even upgraded to the full version. However we wish there was an option to just reset or restart a single puzzle after completing it, rather than having to restart them all. That way if we wanted to we could go back and redo a puzzle that we had already finished. We'd like to be able to do that for the puzzles on topics that we have a passion for. We hope you add a feature like this in the next update. Other than that we love this app.
