Community Insight:
Im sorry however; thrid letter was in our puzzle and THRID is not a word.
We shouldnt have to pay every 30 days to avoid ads from popping up mid game. Im already watching ads for rewards that should be enough. Either do a one time ad free purchase or youll continue to lose gamers.
Really fun if fewer ads. Plus ads are way too long. Really too bad.
All around Crozzle is a good great puzzle game,however there are some puzzles with words that have previously popped up in other puzzles.There are just a few,so it is not a big deal.
Paid for no ads but still have to watch long ads for spins. Game moves really really slow.
We like this game. We always go to setting and turn off all sounds. When playing and switching between games there is an annoying boop sound. Makes it difficult to enjoy this game in a public place or when not wanting to disturb sleeping spouse. Ugh we may delete because we find the sound so annoying.
We paid for no ads for one month. We like that option. It was a good price. We like the game well enough to do that.
Too many repeat words in every puzzle.
Bots let you win. Not much of a challenge.
Love the game but can play with friends unless we are missing something.
Its cool to watch ads for the game your already playing.
Charges your thinking skills & we Cant stop playing.
The game is fun but the ads are ridiculously long and too time consuming. They have an option for ad free for a charge but no description or explanation on what or how many ads you will continue to see.
We love this game but Im being cheated out of money and we get packages that say no adds but we keep seeing them. Also we pay for the blocks that you can use to play any letter and Im seeing more often that they are not coming up. Soon we will stop playing because of this. We sent comment to admin and no response oh and a lot of times if a letter is wrong it doesnt drop down.
We really love this game and it has potential to be really great. But we have yet to figure out how, or if, you can play with friends. We dont think you can. Its just bots. The ads can become maddening also.
The game is fun and enjoyable. However when there is an ad after every move, its just take the fun out of it. We would be okay with after each match.
Whats the point of getting a friends to play if you cant even play against them? Thats ridiculous, all this lets us do is play against bots.
Sooooo worth the download! We previously D/L a similar game (WWF) to play with our bestie & then saw this game & Im HOOKED! Im deleting the other game & making sure our friend gets Crozzle instead! Its more user friendly, its challenging & SO MUCH FUN! Kudos to the DevelopersI HIGHLY recommend this game by far. Theres ADS but at least you get points for watching AND theres an option to skip them. IDK what happens if you choose to SKIP the ADS because we want the gifts Again, its SO MUCH FUN & exercises your brain too.
ADS, that is. We want toPLAY YOUR G@ME, not sit and watch coins, cards, birds, liquids, etc, go from place to place.same actions over and over.we got the IDEA the first timeif we wanted to play that game we would get it, but NEVER after having our intelligence questioned by ads that have no art, no appeal..yeah, yeah, we know how it goeswe gotta make money.well, we got to save our brain.60 second ads+ are quickly being deleted. We know how to read, dear greedies! QUESTIONWhy reward us in coins, when there is NOTHING TO BUY WITH THEM.
This game has too many adds, same words over and over, playing with bots, and referred to cops as pigs. Im done.
We enjoyed this game very much. Given that, there are issues that caused us to delete the game. The biggest were the ads. WAY too many. The next is too many clues dont make sense. If they fix those issues, we might try it again. Why not give the players a chance to purchase the game for a low amount so they dont have to suffer through any ads.
Really enjoy the game. Only reason its not getting 5 stars is because we think it should still give you the option to watch ads for rewards when you purchase an ad-free package. Otherwise everything becomes purchase only. We dont want ads mid game but want the option to watch ads when we need rewards.
It has the option to invite friends but theres no option to add friends when they do download the game. Other than that we give it 5 stars.
It would be awesome if players could play each other instead of always the computer. People dont respond that quickly.
Its a great concept, but the fact that you need to pay 2$ a month to no see ads every 5 minutes doesnt make sense. And that you playing only against bots or local games. This type of game should have online mode.
We totally agree with Mephisto the Great. Love the game, but more ad time than play time. We will look for a similar game.
Love that we have to think! Brain exercising is a must.
We love any game that takes our mind away from stress.
Way too many ads, which are very distracting :(.
Relaxing and its fun. We love playing it.
Crozzle is a fun and relaxing game that challenges your brain. Rewards are solid, and diamonds are reasonably priced. If you decide to purchase. The only downfall is swaps and hints get more expensive each time you use them. Still its a great game overall.
Great way to test your vocabulary, too many ads to play multiple games at a time, but still fun.
You were able to play against your friends.
Some of the clues are incorrect. Examples: -Bruces First name is not Lee, its Bruce – his name is Bruce Lee -Marylands Postal is not MA, its MD.
We want the possibility to play against our friendsin other languages please.
We love the concept and games but playing against bots is really boring. It would be so much better if friends could play with each other. Also its lame to charge a monthly fee for ads.
Saw an ad, looked like fun. Didnt take too long to be repetitive. Also, not sure why when we get challenged our opponent gets the last move. It has cost us a couple of games. Deleting, dont need the frustration.
We wanted to give 5 starts but us and our friends cant play together and the support option is pointless because no one responds! Please fix.
We paid to remove the ads. We still see just as many ads as we did before. Dont pay for this special.
The general concept is fun, but we have never seen an app that uses more time with ads than gameplay. If you do want to spend money to remove the ads, its still a monthly charge. And then theres all those extra prices for anything to make the game a little easier. Find a game that is similar in its style, but not one thats trying to bleed you for all youre worth.
The concept is cool, crossword puzzles but you take turns with random letters. It gives it a nice twist. But it quickly gets pretty repetitive. The opponents you face are obviously all bots. They always take the same amount of time to take their turns and all have generic names. So its annoying how they put on a show acting like theyre finding you a random real player to play against and the bots pretend to be inviting you to rematches. In the short time that Ive been playing, Ive also encountered a lot of repeat clues. The ads arent the worst, but the fact that you can only pay to temporarily remove ads for a certain amount of days (thus incentivizing you to play more to get your moneys worth if you do pay for it) is not cool. We always feel like the Hint power-up always gives hints to the most obvious clues that we dont need hints for, making us use it more than we want to just to get a hint for a harder clue.
We really want to give this game more than 3 stars but its just not going to happen right now. A large amount of the clues dont make any sense at all. For example, one clue shows you a picture of a strawberry. Picture has -by as part of the text. Why not change it to b-y? For first time users playing the game, that clue doesnt make any sense. Another is a picture of an ape. Below the picture is -ap. E is the missing letter so why would the clue not read ap-? Outside of the missing letter clues. There are others that you cant even begin to guess. It only makes sense as you play along and start to see other clues forming into them. Its very frustrating and easily fixable.
When there are letters missing from clue words, learn where to put the dash. Simple language skill.
Crozzle is a really enjoyable and clever word puzzle game, but there are two big issues that take away from the experience: No sync across devices we play on both our iPhone and iPad, but our progress doesnt carry over. It would be great if the developers added support for iCloud, Game Center, or account login so players could continue seamlessly across devices. Excessive ads The number of ads is overwhelming and interrupts the flow of the game. We understand ads are needed, but they pop up so frequently that it makes it hard to stay engaged. If these issues were addressed, this would easily be a 5-star game. We hope the developers consider making these improvements.
Saw an ad for this game on another game we were playing. Wasnt the game shown in the ad, clues dont make sense, too many ads, and pretty sure its mostly bots.
You add friends but cant play against them very disappointing.
The words are constantly repeated each game. This would be much more fun and challenging if they would use more words.
Enjoyable game play. Dont bother paying for no ads or ad free. You still get one every time you spin the wheel.
Love the game but our son and we cant play each other even tho we are friend on game and support does not email or answer back and this is the type of crossword we both like.
Why in a challenging game it says our opponent is offline.
