Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It seems so straightforward at first – six letter word in batches of two. Then you start and realize youve walked into an elegantly complex brain twister of a puzzle. If you enjoy word games that consistently challenge and stretch your mind, youll love Sootly.
Just when you think you have it, theres always another puzzle that trips you up. Super fun.
Best word guess app available. If the Wordle is checkers, this is chess.
This is a great challenging game! We look forward to the puzzle each day.
This is the first word game, or phone game for that matter, that Ive ever been sucked into and found ourselves playing when there were far more important things to be doing. The logical reasoning required is super fun for us. No judgement if, like us, you occasionally use a well worded google search to help you find the answer.
This is more than just guessing. It requires that the solver identify patterns and put combos together mentally before filling in the grid. Very satisfying puzzle.
