Community Insight:
This is the BEST search word game EVER.
This word puzzle helps us keep our mind active, our visual skills positive.
Ive been a fan of this puzzle for a while. Very relaxing as well.
Ive been playing a lot of word searching games thru the years. This one of the best, could be better in some ways, but still a great time passer and brain trainer.
We like this word search far more than many others, primarily bec of the larger font size (our eye sight has declined over the last few years). Also the boards brightness & the clarity of the letters makes for far better viewing. Thank you so much! Our only complaints are that its very shortnot enough words, and the ads are too long.
Ive been playing this app for a long time and really enjoy it. The tiny words take some time to get used to, but they are trying to fit it on a small phone. However, they really need to review the words they allow. Ive seen a few that arent even words, unnecessary to be in a game (e.g., Gestapo?!), and the like.
Lots of random words and fun to play. We would like to see categories or themes, too, but it is our favorite word search. Easy to read, colorful and we like the ability to highlight forwards or backwards.
Couple of suggestions: wont load unless we repeatedly press start. Doesnt show your time for completion. No script choices.
We have been playing this game for several years now. We enjoy it very much. Our only complaint is that the small size of the font(s) make it challenging to see. But that is our problem and our bad eyesight. It would help if the font could be in bold to ease the eye strain. But again, this is mostly an old eyes problem.
We are giving this game only two stars because this is kind of important. In the bottom right hand corner, the little gear you click to change your preference settings crashes the game every single time we click it. This is unacceptable. Since the game has a timer for each puzzle and we are kind of slow to do them, this makes the app frustrating for us. It is unlikely that we will continue to use it. Too bad too. We almost liked it.
Trying to click on the setting gear at the bottom, we authorized this unwanted purchase because our thumb grazed the fingerprint sensor. We dont want this crap for free let alone pay for it.
Game is great…when it loads. Usually takes 3 – 4 tries to get it to load new game. Rarely will load on 2nd try. Never on first try. Using latest iPad. Never had this problem with earlier version of game.
Paid to unlock all levels which is only 4 more levels and crashes constantly. It is challenging but has some bugs.
Download for free. Play 5 levels then you have to pay. No thanks.
We had played the old version a lot and liked it. This new version is horrible. The words to search for are extremely small and the puzzle letters are huge, which when theyre highlighted they overlap in a messy, hard to follow way. We wish there was a way to go back to the old version.
We downloaded this game a few weeks ago. We see nothing wrong with it. We like that have different levels and we find it really enjoyable.
We have enjoyed playing this game for a very long time but ever since we got our iPhone replaced just a few weeks ago and downloaded this same version of the game we have had a problem with them using words that we consider bad words or very distasteful, certainly not to be used in a game. We never had this problem before, so why now.
Feels great to play on our iPad. Intelligent word choices and you can look up the meaning of a word once you find it. Best we've found! And not a terrible bunch of ads.
We play the game to keep ourselves sharp and to challenge ourselves. Not sure how many levels there are but looking forward to each new level.
Excellent and mentally stimulating.
Great game. Nice to unwind in the evening. Pleasant.
This is by far our favorite word game. We love The fact that you are timed for every level. It makes it much more challenging.
Great Game for calming your nerves.
We love to play word search and find it very relaxing.
We really enjoy this game. The layout is pleasant to the eye. It is quick and satisfying. We like that you can go up in levels and can compete against your previous scores. We also play it on both our iPad and iPhone.
Muy Bueno,excelente solo por favor amplen ms los vocablos.
Great game and allows one to move to any level of expertise. We enjoy playing it often.
This game is very nice and fun so many levels but after every level there is an add To many adds !! Other wise its a nice game.
We really do enjoy this app. It is very relaxing and some of words make it very fun and interesting.
We like this game. It is entertaining and keeps your mind active.
Nice word search game. Puzzle are challenging.
Don't like that we were forced to write this review in order to move up a level.
Every time we play this game relaxed feel.
Really enjoy this app, and you can check the word meaning easily.
The game is good and all but we dont like how there is a time limit! We dont get the reason because sometimes it takes a while to find all the words . And we wish we could have a menu screen to pick the levels! Its a good game but there is a couple things that we would want different :(.
We have loved this game for a long time, but now after EVERY game, it departs to a long ad for some other game. If this continues, we will delete this game. There are others like it. Administration, please correct this.
Frequency of ads is somewhat annoying but the game is good. 3 stars.
We like it, but now that we had to give in, pay for the App, cant you just let us play the game? Why does it have to be so freakin tedious to get to play another level.
There are only 3 free levels there are ads after each level and they gone you abs force you to replay the level if you dont make the time with new words this is not a good game at all.
Well we definitely like the game but first it's too easy and also we don't like hat there's a time we wish u could just find it on you own time but it's ok.
We hate the pressure of the time we thought we found a game with crossword puzzles and unlimited time but no we soon realized that it was not the games we thought it was and there was no warning about the time.
Basically paid $1.99 for the full game and it only goes up to level 6.
False advertisement!!! Game its free but not free. They only offer free three levels and after completing each level theres an ad. If youre looking for free crossword look elsewhere we sure am! We spent less than 10mins in all playing before the disappointing conclusion that its only a sample. Dont waste your storage space downloading this FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.
We tried to play but ads kept popping up that we couldnt click out of without being taken to safari. We couldnt even play the game so we deleted it.
Constantly freezes up. Needs bigger, harder board, ads are loud and annoying.
Could stand to be more challenging – even though we play at the highest level available.
The absolute best word search puzzle there is.
We really enjoy this puzzle..good for passing a few minutes while in line anywhere, at doctors / dentists office, can even play while watching a movie, or just chilaxing out in the yard while catching a few rays and some vitamin d..Just anywhere..luv, luv it..no bugs or problems on ours..Great job.
Great fun! Quick word search, great way to build word power. Spelling and vocabulary. We like to look-up meanings of words we're not sure of. We just love this.
