Breezed thru them all, want more. Any plans.
We enjoy your games and have found them to be an excellent value. Lovers of word games and folk looking to keep their wits sharp are bound to be happy with crossword island.
We usually dont like crosswords, but cant stop playing Crossword Island. Great for all ages.
Another great game from Jay Bacal. Check out the challenge of making words with fun graphics.
Fun little easy relaxing game but we wish there were more, ive played all 5 rounds. Will more be coming.
This game makes our brain happy! Love this.
This app is a gem! Ive been playing it for over an hour today and have loved every second of it. The gameplay is simple, yet the puzzles are challenging (especially on hard difficulty) and have a variety that is much appreciated. We highly recommend this app for all word game lovers.
We like this game but please explain the following: Total points: these accumulate each game. Then what happens? What happens to bonus words What happens to points accumulated for bonus points What do these symbols mean: Eye Spyglass (has a number next to it) Clock. Is this the time it takes for each game? Thank you.
A fun word game with pretty design. The bonus words are a unique and much appreciated mechanic.
