Community Insight:
Easy way to stretch your brain with word connections.
Need more stars instead of just 3 and give better chances.
We have loved this game, hate to see game 2000, coming shortly! Thank you.
The game is fun but the ads take forever to go away.
This game is so much fun. It makes you think, but not excessively. We turned the seeds off for $5.99. It was with it to not see them, yet still support the creators of the game. It is an addictive game. Thanks to the creators for creating this challenging game.
Nice challenge, not too many commercials. We dont think we think would be better if you could move the choices around before you pick all four.
Like the game but you dont ever reset the amount of lives.
A not too complicated fun game.
We love this game but am stuck on a level where all the eight remaining clues are names. Ive tried lots of combinations but have run out of coins and the ads are very long. No way to get hints without paying a lot of money which we cant afford. Will have to quit playing which bums us out.
We absolutely love this game!! One of our absolute favs.
Absolutely LOVE the game, but are very frustrated when theres eight squares left. (And theyre all very similar.) we have no more coins, and then we have to sit through ad, after ad, after ad, (and theyre all pretty long) and we have no other choice but to leave the game or buy coins, which we cant afford. It forces us to leave the game and try the next day or (maybe win a daily game so we can get a few more coins.) Why is there no option to leave the game and go to the next one, if youve tried so many times and just cant get it. We would love to play this game more But sometimes we just cant. As you reach more levels, of course the game gets harder which we really do like But sometimes its just so hard that you just cant get it! It would be great if you could fix that. ILove the improvements youve made on the game we still love playing it. We play it every day! We were able to build up enough coins where we could actually enjoy the game.Some of the categories are repetitive. We just wish that there were more categories. Other than that, its an excellent game and we love it.
Gotta pay to get rid of so many ads.
Honestly. We like it overall. But, whats the point of Experience Points? Cant use them for anything. Takes way too long to build up stars to buy hints. Should consider accumulating lives. We can go through 5 levels without needing a life, then there is a stupid puzzle where the associations are specious to say the least and we still only get 3 chances to figure it out without paying. We are on about level 537 so we have taken time before this review.
We have played a few of these word connection games and this one is the best. It offers hints and you can earn points for them.
Its challenging but not impossibly so.
Oftentimes the words in other languages make matching very difficult.
We love this game. We understand using coins to get hints, but what are the points good for.
Just an observation that in connecting First Ladies, Melania Trump is not an option although Donald Trump, Joe and Jill Biden are options for presidents and First Ladies.
The first whole section no ads!!! Its a quiet game its just good for matching critical thinking a really good game for kids to think.
This was fun in the beginning but once you lose lives and dont have enough coins, it takes you to the store where you can purchase coins or you can watch an ad to get more coins. No thank you. Will be deleting this game. Such a shame.
The game is fun, but they are way too chintzee with the stars . Only 3 stars earned with each puzzle, but they have the nerve to charge 100 for some of the helpers. And only 3 lives if you guess wrong.
Its relaxing and not as easy as you might think. We do get stumped here and there which adds to the fun! Thanks for making this game.
Font needs to be bigger and ability to turn phone sideways to read.
Cant play in public because you cant silence ads.
Some of the choices can be used in more than one answer. Consequently, you have to Use (waste) points to be able to answer correctly. There are a lot of words in the English language where you shouldnt have to duplicate. Ie – trust can be used with both dis or mis No way to choose/determine without wasting points.
This game is surprisingly fun 9/10 satisfactory.
After playing for a while, we noticed things (animals in words, double letters, rhymes) we like actual themes of words, not spelling variations.
This is a fun game and we have spent hours playing it. That being said, there needs to be new categories as we are seeing lots of overlap. We would also like something to spend the 14,600+ xp we have earned. Yes we have played a lot! Maybe we are missing what the xp is for? Recommend this game, it is great to pull out when you have some free time and enjoy learning new things.
And if you get stuck – there is help.
Some are challenging, some are not, but theyre great fun!! If youre a trivia fan, this is a good game.
Some of your categories are quite obscure.
Solved puzzle disappears too fast. Why? Need to make screenshots immediately to review and learn! Two is a prime number? Hm.
Love the game but some are pretty hard and most of the time you have to pay $ to be able to get hints. For those of us who prefer freegames, this is a big detriment.
We really like this kind of word play. Makes us think. We also appreciate that most ads are the quick easy ones, just click on the double arrow if it appears and the x comes up quickly. The only ones that we dont appreciate are the 30 second plus 5 second ones that come up when we are most frustrated because we ran out of lives and have to play an ad to get one. We could do without those! Thanks for a new way of playing a word game.
We love this game. We love the variety of connection types, ease of use, degree of difficulty. Im up to level 200 after two days.
Too many names of celebrities or sports players. Otherwise would have given 5 stars.
If you cant figure out the 4 groups, tough! After so many tries you should be able to just give up. Also, some are ridiculously easy.
Love this game. Some are easy, others def more challenging but still fun.
Love this game. Its addictive.
The game is just challenging enough to keep us interested some of the challenges we can put together even though there were you suggested is wrong but all in all good game.
Lots of fun to play. Its addicting. It also teaches you new words. Very entertaining.
Love this game. It is addictive.
This is a great game! The only thing that Id like to see changed is when we get to the last 4 tiles, we dont get a chance to look them over, and see why we couldnt figure out the category. We wish there was a button for us to click, so we could decide for ourselves when to move on. Other than that, we love the game! Thank you for your friendly reply, in which you stated that there was now more time to look over the finished puzzle, but if that is true, it just isnt enough time. Why not make a go back button? That would solve the problem.
You have to think in different ways.
We really like this game, but the downfall is that you dont earn that many points if you win, no way to pick up extra points by spinning a wheel or something. If you run out of pointsyou are stuck like chuck until you figure out the puzzle. Super annoying and we can only take so many commercials in order to get another chance to guess. Not good. Not user friendly at all. So far Im hanging in there, but we are not sure how long we can keep watching 60 second commercials in order to keep playing when we run out of points.
Great concept that makes you think.
Made us think. Starts out easy, then we had to remember things from the past. Really challenged our memory. This s is one of our favorite games.
Great game, perfect for Seniors to light up our brains.
Our name is Debbie, we are the new player. We thought this game would be easy, however; we appreciate how challenging it can be. We feel like it will help with our memory. We are always looking to preserve our memory, due to our early onset dementia.
Our hubby and we are in our 70s and we love this creative game.
