Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We enjoy playing. The only thing that could use improving is the monthly puzzle we finish the monthly puzzle about 11 to 12 days before the month is over.
This game is so much fun and the beautiful background pictures are amazing. Always read the little poems, such a nice touch. We can tell a lot of effort went into developing this site.
Soooooooooooo much fun and we cant stop playing it.
Fast-paced, east to play and easy to win lots of its. Its our new favorite.
Love the new backgrounds and getting rid of bugs. Thank you.
Grate grafics and it is grate for senrs.
This was less than we expected. We searched for ZEN WORD like we had on our old phone. This is not the same. We dont like the ads all the time and we dont get all the symbols. We just want to play a word game to relax. The interruptions are annoying.
Loved playing this game, however after making a purchase on this game, it was never credited. We have contacted several times with no reply. Be careful here. Guess is will have to stop playing.
Good challenging game but ads waaaaay too frequent. After completing a challenge, there should be some sort of reward, like maybe a hint. But instead you get an ad.
We know theres an option to pay for no ads, but to have an ad pop up after each puzzle is terrible. Will probably delete this app.
We can no longer play since it hasnt been updated.
We love this game but frustrating that the chest bonus is working.
Used to be a great game but now the chances to earn points has been decreased to where you have to purchase points to keep playing. We had several other complaints but it all comes down to – it used to be fun, now its deleted.
We think soo much with this gamec.
Daily game doesnt work since the latest update. We get a screen that says we have 47 more levels. It wont let us play. Very disappointing.
This game is great. We have played it for some time now. We have been trying to collect all the coins within the wisdom section 3046977 / 758100. This had been a very daunting task. Is there any way to get all the coins at once. We have lost count as to how many days it has taken us to get the ones we currently have. We have not played as much as we would like bc there are so many coins to collect and we just cant get them. Please help.
Every time we get to the level for the treasure box the game gets stuck & when it finally decides to unstick its self the reward has gone missing.
We really like this game! It keeps our brain working.
We loved playing this game then they changed it now it is frustrating. You would earn helps or spins and the next time you play the game they are gone.
Great game. We like crossword puzzles and wordfinds. Favorite brain teasers.
Ive been playing this game for several years. Im on level 5653. We have 3600 something coins, with many many spins available. BUTHeres the problem. We upgraded our phone from an iPhone X to an iPhone 12s. Since that time we havent been ableTo play this game at all. We updated it, we sent the developer two or three messages with our email and got no response. We are sad but Im gonna have to delete this game. If they cant take care of the game then they shouldnt have it on the market. Very frustrating.
This app has not worked for months! The letters will not go in the boxes. We just did the update for this week and theres no boxes at all! We have sent emails to you through your app multiple times with no replies. Please respond or fix the app.
Have played word cross for probably 2 years and loved it but now after doing the daily challenge it wont open new screens. Says they are on the way. Its been several weeks.
Its been months since the app does not open. Is it decommissioned.
Ive been playing for about a year and this game over all is pretty fun. We do like the updates on holidays and stuff. But our only concern is we would like it to get a little harder. Im on level 426 and we can get each puzzle done in 10-15 minutes. So please make this game a little harder. Over all, this is a pretty good puzzle game. You should really try it.
We have already reviewed as to the constant misspelled words but failed to mention that there is constantly repeating games. We have been in a loop of about the same 20/25 rounds all the same. We thought we might work through them as this has happened before, but no.
We smile the entire time Im playing this game because its not too cluttered so Im not getting a headache. Instead Im enjoying its fun simplicity. Thank yall.
Fun to play, but we often have to close it because the ads crash it. We miss our extra points because of this too. Booo.
The game freezes and crashes a lot.
Your paying advertisers should know that the ads they pay for are unavailable for users to watch. The end game is to make sure we but spins, we guess.
This is a great game. However, the games continuously freezes and runs very slow. Im loosing our patience.
Fun. Good exercise for the brain.
Need the match the words the color of the theme that would make the theme stand out more and look even prettier.
We have enjoyed this game so much. Its been our go to game for over a year when we are bored. Since this last update it crashes frequently and we have to turn our phone off and back on to get games background music to quit playing. We gladly accept ads to keep the game free, but they are slow to load now, if they load at all.
Too many forced ads, too many hiccups in the games, meaning freezes in place, too many bugs, cannot restore to games saved, Fun game but.
The last several months the game has operated poorly. There are many glitches, the letters pile on top of one another and the game continuously freezes. We really enjoy the game, but we have to stopped playing for a few days in order for the game to work correctly.
Time killer. Why be bored waiting.
8 spins and 8 points!!! Failure to put in play the letters that we touch.
We have enjoyed finding the words: some new words, others spelled differently in U.K., balancing difficult words with simple keeps us playing. Fun and challenging.
Loys of fun! Good entertainment!! And can be a challenge!! Gress as t idea.
We are enjoying this game it makes us think.
This is an amazing game we love it because it relaxes our mind and you can play nonstop.
Hate your liberal ads!!! Stop.
Love this game but tired of all the political ads. We play games for entertainment.
To get you to install, words matched pictures. Now does NOT! Nana nana nifty.
We just downloaded this today. We thought we were going to like it, until each new game meant we had to sit through an ad for other games! We were watching ads more than playing the game.
We could really do without all the Biden adds.
Far too easy!!!!! Far too much attained by simply spinning a wheel.
Fun, but they need to add a way to advance to a harder level. All the levels are super easy. No real challenge at all. It would be a 5 star app if they add harder puzzles.
Since the app update on July 12th,2020 the app will no longer open. Im very upset needless to say because Im on level 10,000 something….please advise!!!!! It updated again only now for over a month it continues to say it will load in 2-3 minutes. Spoiler alert:its not opening.
