Community Insight:
This is an excellent game, full of challenging puzzles. It will keep you busy hour after hour. The multi colored option adds a fun, slight additional level of difficulty. We would like to see a way to earn / purchase a hint. Otherwise, you can work on a puzzle for some time,not knowing the answer to just one or two words. You then have to surrender without ever seeing the location/ solution! Additionally, it would be helpful to see the puzzle solve itself, when we run out of time. Lastly, have you considered adding number only puzzles? Thanks for a great puzzle game.
We love the different colors for each word, however we wish there was a way to make the colors grey instead to make it harder to not see what options are left on the board/puzzle. To see more letters and words crossing into each-other making it that much more difficult and fun to complete. We honestly have been looking for something like this for years since was given a twisted or scramble word find from our grandma who was trying to find something for us to do and be occupied with to not pester her when her place was absolutely so boring to be there, not being able to touch anything but the word-find she didn't like to. Please make more! We just bought the premium pack and we are buzzing through the puzzles in under 3 mins! We love the infinite puzzle option as well and even though that could have sufficed for the barely the day after we completed the starter puzzles we are joyed to have the timer option challenge for the premium pack. We must also praise the definitions link, thank you.
We really like playing the puzzles but there are only 90 good puzzles to do. The ones that are just generated arent as good as the beginner pack of 30 puzzles or the puzzle pack with 60 puzzles. After that they are pretty lame.
