Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Im a Jumble and Jumble Crossword fan! This game is a fun twist on word search. Love all these games by David Hoyt. So clever and fun.
Trying to find the doubles and clues together is really a good challenge! Good daily workout for our brain. Thanks for your clever word games.
We too play at least one game day , to start the day. Competitive, awesome, fun.
We want more! Now we are going back and replaying to see how many low scores we can raise.
We play one in the morning and one at night. We were so disappointed when the game when you didnt have new puzzles we still tried to beat our original score. Thank you for bring these back.
This has been one of our favorite games. However, for some time we have had problems with the app not opening. We have also chosen to use some of the coins we have earned to unlock more puzzles, but we dont get all the puzzles we request. If we ask for 3 or 4 puzzles only one or two will unlock. We hope this can be fixed. Otherwise, thanks for a fun game.
Great game-only suggestion is to make it easier to reply same puzzle like it is when you miss the challenge. We like to play until get 30000 or more.
Love this game! Just downloaded the app today, yet Ive already played over 40 puzzles! Lots of ways to win points, so its easy to keep improving.
We try to play at least one game a day. Its one of the puzzles we play before we start our day. Im amazed that the authors are able to set this game up so that you can always find a word. There is also strategy involved to end up with the 25th word filling the last squares so you can get maximum points. We only wish they had high scores for every game, so we can compare our score to other players on tough puzzles.
We love Word Stampede but we do find Hoyt Hints a bit distracting. We personally would prefer not to have that option. Otherwise we think the game is awesome.
We love this game! It keeps us thinking constantly.
We do loads of words games and we like this one the best. It is fast moving and gives your brain a great workout. It is also lots of fun. Give it a go.
We play this at least once a day! We often play the challenge and really enjoy the fast thinking. Thanks for keeping it updated.
This game is a kick! Im completely addicted.
We have an we-Phone 12, and we cant see the left or right side. Our score could be better if the puzzle fit. Other than that, we really love it.
Ever since we updated our iPhone to the latest version, the display of this game is so large, the side columns are almost off the screen, making it difficult to play. Please update! Other than that we love the game.
Love the game and having to think quickly of words in our vocabulary. And Doubles are the most fun and teach us the most. Thank you! Peggy.
We love playing this game everyday. But on our iPhone, the leftmost and rightmost columns are cut off and only half the letters are visible. This has been the case for several years. We score better when we play the game on an we{ad because we can see the whole board.
Great game, but the freeze ups are annoying.
It is evident that this game is no longer updated for years. However, at least it was easy to see your ranking OUT OF TOTAL NUMBER OF PLAYERS for all time and for every 10th game. With the iOS 26 update the entire global ranking appearance has changed. You can still see what # rank you are though you can no longer see where you stand out of the total number of players and percentage you have beaten. This information was all neatly summarized at a glance. It is no longer without scrolling scrolling scrolling through each puzzles scores and doing your own calculations. Because we replay the games to better our scores, it has been fun to see what top percentage rank we were in for all time, as an example. These stats are no longer summarized. Also, app support is no longer functional.
Hey David we really love your games, and all of them work great on the iPhone except for this one. The left row and the right row are halfway off the screen, so it is impossible to play it. If you can tell us how to fix that we will definitely give a five star review.
We cannot see entire screen on our iPhone 12 mini. Will there be a fix for this.
We have an iOS 11 phone. We cannot see the whole letters on the right and left. Makes it impossible to play. Anyone else? Please fix.
We have a new iPhone 11 and the game is too wide for the screen. We cant quite see the left and right columns. Im hoping it gets fixed soon.
This is a great game but, as a senior with eye problems we wish we could set the time for each puzzle to a higher minute level. Also why is it that after we complete a puzzle, the whole app disappears until we clear it from our iPad and start anew.
The letter grid doesnt fit on the screen! We played every day for over a year, had some of the highest scores on the leaderboard, and really enjoyed playing with our morning coffee. Since getting a new phone, Ive lost our 70,000+ coins, all the games are locked again, but most importantly we cant play at all. Please fix this for the Max Pro! Then Ill come back and give it 5 stars.
We like the games but sometimes it takes your points without you playing the game and often when we watch the video we dont get the Free points. We would rate it higher but for those reasons. Its frustrating when you dont g Ed t the games you earned to play.
When will this be updated for iPhone 11 Pro Max? We cant see all the letters on our phone. Would have been great if you can make the whole screen fit in iPhone 11 Pro Max, and then Ill give 5 stars. Thank you.
Keeps saying run time error why.
Was a good game. Ads have become too longI know they are necessary but we should be able to opt out quicker. Now the app crashes every time an ad finishes. Unfortunately will be deleting the app.
Ok, fun game but there has been no new puzzles in almost 2 years.
The game screen is to big for our IPhone 12 mini. Can not see letters on sides or score and time left remaining on top. Is there a way to fix this.
Our favorite feature was Play Friends, our wife and we played against each other every morning. Since the last Apple update, this feature no longer works.
At least word games should be without political statements and messages. Shame. Instead of ads, you are airing politics.
We love the puzzle but can only play it when we have internet which is hardly ever. Very disappointing.
Love this game. We really like all of your games that we have tried. Thanks for great fun games! Jan.
Great brain exercise and way to strengthen vocabulary. Never gets boring.
Just love this game. Try it. You'll be glad you did.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN MY OPINION! We LOVE THE COUNTDOWN, THE VOICE OPTION IS AWESOME ! The puzzles are great, you can play the same puzzles multiple times building your scores and you will keep finding NEW WORDS! The DAILY CHALLENGE PUZZLES as well as the others are quick to play and a great way to earn coins to unlock more puzzles! The puzzles are challenging but not impossible which makes the game fun & relaxing! Its AWESOME, GO AHEAD & DOWNLOAD IT, see for yourself… You can thank us later.
We play all of your games, this is our favorite.
We love David Hoyt's word games. Use to play Words Roundup Frenzy, but cannot find it.
Fun to play not easy to find hint words.
Fun!! Fast paced game but you dont feel pressured or rushed. Like a mashup of boggle & word seek games, you try to find as many words on the letter grid as possible. Just the right level of challenge so your mind gets a good workout. Love it.
Although we do enjoy the game we have to downgrade it because it stops play at 25 words. To us the point is to try to get as many words identified as possible not to be cut off at 25.
An awesome way to stay sharp. Thank you for your creativity.
First thing every day is dedicated to feeding our brain by first playing Jumble followed by playing Stampeed. Stampeed is both fun and challenging. We use Stampeed as a sort of mind exercise in our retirement years. We really look forward to our Daily Challenge.
Really enjoy daily challenge. Fun word game.
Each of the game challenges is just that – challenging. At first we were intimidated by 'finding doubles' mode but now, it's our favorite. Well designed. It would be interesting to see in the rating 'you found six of the XX possible doubles'. We play each of David's games first thing each day to keep our streaks going.
We enjoy the challenge. Fun to play.
We love this game! We enjoy word play & so this is the best. He is a true genius!! Play it. You will love it.
