What Makes What's the Word HD Stand Out
Surprisingly simple, amazingly addictive, everyone's new favorite game!
We'll show you four pictures that have one word in common between them. Can you guess what the word is? (Hint – when you see a picture of a bank card and a picture of a river bank, the word is… bank! When you see a four leaf clover and a happy jackpot winner, the word is… luck!).
As a word game lover, you'll find this game to be quick, easy, a lot of fun, and the best part is that you already know how to play!
Now go play and Have Fun!
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

We bought points & when we came back online, the point are gone. THREE TIMES. Unacceptable.
This is a fun game to play when youre bored and need something fun to play.
Our granddaughter got us started! Help we can't stop lol.
The game is awesome it's so goddamn awesome.
This game is great, it challenging, fun and makes you think. We just started and we're sure the game will get harder as we move on.
We finished the puzzle getting to 989 and when we looked for the next level it says we finished all the levels but not to worry but to come back tomorrow for more. It's been several "tomorrow's" but still no more puzzles. But it was fun while it lasted. We guess we have to delete the game and start over.
Game was fun until the pictures start making no sense with the word that was trying to be guessed. We even had to download a "cheats" app just because the pictures were so irrelevant.
The pictures need to be more consistent within each 4 square. Some are so disconnected that they make no sense in being able to solve the puzzle.
This is a neat game. However there are problems. One of the worst we encountered was the loss of over 200 coins (needed to get hints) and no idea where they went or why. You have to pay for the coins so this is not a minor issue. Additionally, the game frequently crashes. They really need to work on this game.
We agreed to sign up for a free credit report to receive 850 coins. They were never deposited into our account. Contacted app admin. They said to contact the company providing the incentive. Did that. Company sad they can't help us. Very disappointed.
We can't stand to play with that tap tap tap.. Did like at first but now so long.
Our daughter and we love this game. What a fun way to spend time together.
What a fun game. We don't play many games but this one varies from super easy to super hard and we really like that.
Love this game! We could play this game for hours.
We went to visit our family and several of them had this game on their mobile devices. It's addictive! A challenging pasttime.
We have recently been hit by a car and had a brain injury. Playing this game during our recovery has been so great! It has contributed in awakening and strengthening our brain. It does not specifically work one section of our brain, there are many different games, many different challenges, so our entire brain is being worked. We have been looking so hard for an appropriate challenge, and this game appropriately challenges us. Thank you so much.
Fun game to play in leisure time.
Love, love this game. It really involves other people. We were in a restraunt playing this game and could not figure out one of the words and people from the next table gave us the answer. Everyone seems to be playing it.
This is a fun game but a bit to easy.
This is a fun game. Nothing more special than the other games like this, but worth trying out.
This game is mostly easy breezy fun and sometimes a challenge. It is a good bit of mental floss for the average person. Stay frosty, our friends.
Needs more levels. We finished all of these levels.
It's a good game. You'll like it.
The game is enjoyable with varying degrees of difficulty.
FUN. It's different from other games we've been playing.
This game got us so curious that we had to buy some coins.
Too easy most of the time. Only one really stumped us, after looking at all the possible 4-letter words that could be tried we finally got it on our 4th guess. Different levels choosing to move up would be good.
We understand you want to make money, but the ads have become ridiculous. Used to be fun and interesting, but an ad after 2 words? Give us a break – deleted it from our iPad.
You have to fix this how can we beat a levle if the app won't let us spell it right no matter what.
We're usually pretty good at this but if you get stuck you essentially have to buy another app to get coins to get a clue. Forget this. It was entertaining for a while and then ——.
This game is a waste of,time and not worth spending money on for "hints".
This game used to be so fun and now they have ruined it with an avalanche of ads almost very other screen. This is especially aggravating when half of them are videos it forces you to wait through. We understand a few ads, but you should keep the player's experience in mind. Greedy.
The game was fun in the beginning but we got stuck on a level there was no real answer for. Our pictures were of a crack in the ground with flowers sticking out, a woman wearing red boxing gloves, a man in a suit bending a spoon, and an object that looked similar to a compass. Our letters were: erofkxcbwgp. The word was five letters. We bought 2 letters. It then became ,o, , ,e. We then got mad because every answer we could think of got rejected, so we tried looking it up online and there was no such level. Afterwards we found the app with all the cheats to this game and when we screenshot the pictures and uploaded them to the app, it told us error and that there was no such word. How could there not be a word for this level. Dont download this game, it's just a waste of time.
Great concept, but we feel cheated as a customer. First, we spent a fortune initially for coins that were eaten up for very few hints. Now, we've not been able to play for several days as it says it's out of puzzles. Not worth it! Since purchasing this game – we believe the adds have gotten worse over time. Now know why we stopped playing initially. Just annoying.
The game is fun but hardly worth playing since the "x" to close out the advertisements are ridiculously small. Download this game if you enjoy spending less time playing than you do opening ads unintentionally and repeatedly.
At first it's fun , quickly they will annoy you with adds , we understand that they have to get some revenue. But they are very pushy . And greedy we think , the only goal is to make money , regarding the customer experience.
This is a great game! It is mind provoking! And it is fun.
Can be some bad clues but it is addicting and very fun.
This game is for people who think. If your not a thinker you will be after you play this game! Don't think this means you have to be smart. It doesn't mean that it just means not to think hard about the word. Just think light and easy.
Some are easy but some are a challenge.
Love this game. Very addicting.
We really like this game. It makes you think.
Fun game when you get the hang of it!! It can drive you crazy though.
Have played before on other devices, but this one is not a challenge like those were. Still fun.
We think this game is pretty awesome…but we really do wish they would give us more coins.
We like this game, challenging & fun(-: some of the levels are easy but a few are actually hard to figure out once you finally do figure it out it's one of those type games where the answer should have been obvious lol.
We ran out of puzzles a week ago … We love the challenges some of the puzzles are very difficult. But, since we seem to have exhausted the supply of puzzles we will have to delete the app.
