Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Sometimes there are games that are truly fantastic and we have to tell everyone about it. Thank you for creating this wonderful game.
The best challenging word game for wordsmiths. So challenging yet enjoyable yet relaxing. You wont regret the buy.
We play this app every day! LOVE IT! But since it has to be played with the iPad in portrait position, it would be nice if the app would rotate 180 with the iPad. Sometimes we are charging the device while playing and would prefer the cord to be at the top (more out of the way, less bending/damage risk). Thanks.
This game makes us think .& try to think faster with the timer running.
We love this game, been playing for years. Only game we have on our phone. Best time in Giant puzzle is 2:13 we do wish we could highlight a word and get definition.
Timer does not start on hard puzzles at times. Bug to be fixed.
This is a fun and challenging game to play. Some are rather hard and when finally finished would like to see the completed puzzle words for a minute but it is closed immediately to show an Ad. Very annoying.
Love the puzzle. Have been playing for years. Now every time we finish a puzzle the checkmark doesnt show. Cant tell which ones we finished. Very frustrating.
The daily crossword is great – the regular game, not so much. Would love more puzzles like the daily.
We play this app all the time it's super fun.
This is by far the best word game. Have played it for years and it always seems new.
We love this Game since Ive gotten it it is pretty much the only game we play… Good job.
We LOVE the Daily 3-Level Puzzles in this app! We look forward to starting every day with solving them.
We have enjoyed the daily crossword part of this app for more than a year. We do not always manage to do all three puzzles in one day, but when we have time, for example while waiting for an appointment, we do several at once. Suddenly this week all our backlog disappeared! What a pity. We now have only three a day and non for a rainy day. Why did you do this.
We love this game….. It is the first thing we do on our phone every morning. Thanks.
We really love this game. We do all three levels every day and there are no annoying interruptions like so many other apps have. Its just challenging enough to be fun.
Hola, Its a great game but, we would like to see more colors. Be more fun to play it! More interactive.
We like to play the giant size version of this game. However the puzzle pieces are overlapping and you have to spend so much time spreading the prices out that it defeats the purpose of the timer when having to spend the time placing the pieces apart to be able to actually start the puzzle. No real competitiveness or timing improvement on Vientiane size puzzle.
We only like the bonus game with the easy, medium and hard version of the mini crossword. It should be its own app.
This game is challenging, yet fun. It uses strategy and brains.
We look forward to relax and playing this game, for a few minutes at a time. Thank you for keeping it up to date. Great game to relax, at same time challenge ourselves. Excellent game. Great to keep in touch with friends, and keep up with spelling. We specially enjoy the daily challenge games. Thank you. Mrs L.
Love it. Many hours of entertainment, enjoyment. Thx.
Quite truly, Ive had this app for several years. It always challenges us, either by us trying to best our own times, or by its difficulties. The addition of the crossword a year or so ago is a whole new set of awesomeness.
Ive been playing this game for years… Just challenging enough and it never gets old.
…. Your spelling acumen. Amazing how many seven letter words are in English language. Ive shared with several thankful friends who enjoy the challenge.
At the end of a busy day, we wind down by working the puzzles. Love this app.
We love it! Makes our brain work. And we even have to look up some of the words so good for our vocabulary.
Word jigsaw is definitely a favorite ! Its great! We love it!! Love the evening with this puzzle, Thank you.
We look forward to the new puzzles every day.
We play the daily jigsaw and look forward to it every day. It would be nice if you would make a larger one for more challenge.
Excellent mind challenging and fun. Recommended with high marks!! Get it.
Love this game, its very challenging & fun.
Totally enjoy working the puzzles.
We really enjoy these. Helps keep mind sharp.
We have been playing this game for at least five years. We love jigsaw puzzles and word games so this app is perfect for us. The levels of difficulty are our choice and we absolutely love the daily crossword.
Putting together the pieces is great for figuring out word structure. Must keep a heads up on vowels and consonants along with word starting and ending letters.
This is a challenging game. Sometimes it goes together easily and sometimes it takes a few attempts to rearrange the pieces and rebuild. Most enjoyable! And sometimes it includes words to add to our vocabulary. Highly recommended! Keeps our mind active.
This is one of our go to games…the more we play the game the more we enjoy it. The better we get (very gradually) the more difficult the game…therefore we never get bored playing the game.
We love this app for the daily crossword. We cant wait for the new levels everyday. We wish there was an app for just the daily crossword. We would love to be able to play more than three games a day.
We like to unwind working these. They are small enough that we can work them fairly quickly. They are also just challenging enough to distract us from the days pressures.
We have been playing it for a long time and we look forward to it every day.
For the regular puzzles, you put jigsaw pieces together to make words. You only need to make words horizontally. For the daily puzzles, you need to make words horizontally and vertically. Also, all of the pieces are the same shape (cubes). We prefer the daily puzzles to the regular puzzles and wish that the regular puzzles resembled them. Two other wishes: (1) the option to turn off the timer and (2) landscape orientation for iPads. Its annoying to have to rearrange our iPad from how we use it 95% of the time. We also lose the prop-up feature of our case because that only works in landscape. Note that this game does not have a level select screen. The plus is that you jump right into a game without having to navigate to and select your current puzzle. The minus is that you dont have any goalposts. You dont know the total number of puzzles, and you dont know what your progress is (20% done? 50%?). We kinda miss knowing that. Lastly, there is a typo on the daily puzzle instruction screen (accross instead of across).
The daily crossword is one of our favorite games. Sometimes a challenge but we always manage to solve! We have played this games for years.
Love, live, live this game. We look forward to the crossword every day. Melanie from Delaware.
This is lots of fun and very challenging. Sometimes we find one word and it quickly leads us to all the rest. Other times we have a really hard time getting started at all. We believe its good exercise for our brain and our vocabulary.
What can we say, other than that we really enjoy our word searching.
We hate word finds, we hate drawing squiggly lines to make a word, Im bored with crossword puzzles and we love word puzzles with sections of words that have to be joined. Bonza and other apps are unwieldy or have too many ads. This app is awesome! Certainly the best one word puzzleI have on our iPad. We enjoyed the crossword puzzle challenge as well. Well done.
We have been using this unique take on crosswords for some time. It tests our word building skills in an enjoyable way.
Nice, simple, and focused on the word puzzles. All there is too it, on the free version the adds appear like every three rounds or so, less annoying than most apps. Gonna buy it soon cuz we want to get the extra levels. Have had this game for almost a decade, and it has stayed the same in regards to ads only popping up every three rounds or so. Something we appreciate that things dont change unnecessarily.
Great relaxing word game with enough help for all levels.
