Community Insight:
Nice word search with different levels and no annoying ads!!!!! So glad we found it! Its a keeper.
Fun game . With the money. No timer. Sometimes repetitive words. Also has varying degrees of difficulty.
Easy but keeps us looking. We like these for when we just need to fill a fee minutes time but dont want to sit there and seem like we are bored waiting.
This game is great for settling the mind and helping one to relax. Its perfect pre-sleep entertainment.
Ive been playing this game for quite some time. It has a clean look. We really like that it looks and plays the same on both iPad and iPhone.
Game is very well organized and relaxing. Provided us with exactly the mindless fun that we needed! Would definitely recommend.
Our grandson helps us. A great way for him to learn letters & letter patterns for spelling words.
Love all of the apps in this series. And no ads.
Playing the puzzles has changed the way we view the letters. It is fun to see if you can solve them faster and faster with practice. It is addicting and convenient to play. Challenge your brain, stay sharp.
We started with the daily puzzles and really enjoyed them. We liked the fact that they were werent too difficult and we could easily finish them. We found out that there were additional puzzles available with each type having their own app. We love these puzzles because theyre relaxing and we dont get frustrated doing them.
The design for each game is clean and pleasing. No annoying distractions. Easy and enjoyable to use.
Great game-our grandchildren enjoy it so much.

If you like this game, Word Search is for you, fun. Ive had the app for 3 weeks, so far its fun to play.
Love love love! We can choose the difficulty. It announces when Im wrong (if we choose for it to) and the size is different dependent on the difficulty. Its nice. Thank you, Norman for another excellent set of puzzles.
What a great app. Challenging yet easy enough for anyone.
