Community Insight:
We used to love this game, until we bought the piggy bank and our coins didn't change at all! We waited a long time, it's been a week, an still nothing is happening but, we didn't' get charged for it, so maybe it's some weird annoying glitch. Please fix this.
Fun game been playing for years.
The interface, gameplay, graphics, the ability to save our progress to Apple ID, EVERYTHING the whole core mechanics of this game is incredible. It is so addicting watching our level rise! Matching and finding the words are so satisfying. Please keep this going forever with infinite levels! The best game on the Apple Store that we have played in a long time.
Remove expedition compass immediately.
We love this game! You find words to complete levels, and has very few ads. We recommend getting this app.
Great way to keep your mind sharp.
Puzzle 4628 is titled Double Ns and the first word is PUNY! You need a spell checker.
Another update. It is clear the new favorite word is ZYDECO. Please stop using it. Update. We liked the plain green theme background. Now we have cats with moving yarn balls. Its annoying. Other than that, this is a fun way to spend a few minutes here and there. We do enjoy this game and play it every day. But if we have to complete 200 games to get a new background picture, we would appreciate better pictures. Watching a tusked hog sleep in a cave is just annoying.
Just got a puzzle to find words with a "Long U" sound. Some of the words were "due" "two", "brew", "crew", "knew", "shrew", "loop", "route", "wound", "frugal". Not even close folks. These words DO NOT have a long "U" sound at all. The words that were included that are correct were "cute", "music", "unique". The difference is obvious.
While we enjoy the game, tell us why even though we purchased no ads, Im now getting a short ad right in the midst of a game? Not just once or twice, but three separate times its happened. Please fix this issue.
Something has happened in the past two weeks. When you win a crown, it bounces down to your avatars head and then disappears. Are yall planning to fix this.
This game is really fun and we like the crowns and tournaments but it glitchesprogress is lost sometimes and crowns have been disappearing. Very dissatisfied.
Just wish there were fewer ads in the free version. Fun game… Sometimes a lot of repeatitive words but still fun.
We like this game it keeps our brain working. Its just hard enough to be gun but not so hard to be frustrating.
No ads-unless we choose them for extra points. Sometimes we d0- we have a choice.
Challenges us and makes us think. Im all about word games.
This app is great. It has many cool features and barely any ads. We would DEFINITELY recommend this app. We feel like its really hard to hate because honestly theres nothing bad about it. One thing that could change is some more fun color blocks. Like skins for the stack blocks. Then we could finally use coins on something cooler then hints. Id love this idea to happen.
Fun and challenging word game puzzle.
Its a fun game, makes you think.
Challenging we play daily love it.
Not only fun to play on your own, but the weekend tournaments are not only enjoyable but can be quite competitive.
Very nice application which entertains and challenges the mind.
Very relaxing and a great time passer. Fun tournaments too.
Love it. Sometimes it blows your mind. Take a break and come back to it.
This keep you thinking,a favorite.
We love this word game but we are now frozen after completing all selections. We are in About Sandwiches and the program will not go forward to our next level. Rohanmju we are froze in our level 1906About Sandwiches we are sorry if this is not the place to report this but we cannot find any other way to contact anyone. Thank you for your help.
When Im up at night and open the game all our sound is off then the game somehow bypasses the off sound and starts up loud. So our insomnia moves to another game lvl 1536.
Im having a blast with this game. It is challenging but very enjoyable. As you advance it does get harder to find words and you do need coins but you dont need to buy them. ;) You can easily watch free videos instead. Also, heres a tip but spend the fewest coins by swapping the letters for 50 coins and you can find more bonus words and new hidden words that way.
You need to fix the ads that you run!! We have to restart our phone in order to get rid of the ads! Im sick and tired of either restarting or turning the off and on our phone! Also once its fixed a couple of ads will be ok and then it freezes up again! IF YOU CANNOT FIX THESE ADS we WILL HAVE YO DELETE THE APP.
Fun but the same word themes repeat themselves over and over.
Update: the word rape has appeared twice this week in the daily puzzle after disappearing for a long while after we wrote the review below. We dont understand why it keeps appearing. Is there really a need for this? We like much of everything this game has to offer. We especially like the daily game and ease of gaining points. It would be nice to know how many words are available in a given puzzle so we can gauge our success. We imagine that would be difficult to determine due to shuffling. One suggestion or request is to please remove the word rape from the dictionary. It appears somewhat too often.
We have had this app downloaded for a long time and play daily. Unfortunately, we removed it today. For quite a while we have been disappointed with the ads that appear and have not found them to be appropriate for the general public. Today our first ad was to choose between keeping twins or having an abortion. Our teenage granddaughters (twins) play this game on our device at times and we would be horrified of this showed up as they tried to play. We can do better and have ads that dont share this message and some of the others we have seen that are not appropriate for anyone, let alone teens and young adults.
Good game. Fun and helps keep mind sharp.
We wonder why the word ugliest is used so often.
We love this game it is fun to play.
Love the game. Been playing it for a few years now. Our only complaint is the amount of ads.
This game makes us think and spell correctly. We love this game. Ps. Its sometimes hard.
Very challenging, and one thing we really like is that they dont tell you any words in a game. We also like them opting to watch ads to collect coins and power ups. Ive been playing this for a while now, havent spent any money beyond the ad removal cost, and we have over 7000 coins. We also like that there are no timers or anything, so we can play in a leisurely manner. A great game.
Its a fun and challenging way to chill. For $3.99 you can go ad free, which we highly recommend.
Been playing this for years and its been the same quality throughout. They added the tournaments and challenges which we like because its gives it that extra bit. But you can move at your own pace, theres no ads the daily puzzles also make things more interesting. Love it.
This game is fun- similar to crossword puzzle games.
AWSOME game we would love to have a free pass that we have access to everything.
Love to play this game to unwind. Its great.
Introduces us to some new vocabulary and very relaxing.
This game really forces you to think, which is good.
Great game, keeps our brain sharp. Very entertaining.
Ads arent as long and annoying as some.
Have enjoyed this game for years, but now broken at level 6815 and cannot complete the puzzle. One word wont clear from the board to allow the final word to be played.
We like the game but theres a stupid add that like covers the letters at the top of our screen while Im playing and it pops up every few seconds and its driving us nuts and considering deleting the app.
Earlier this week we noticed that the dates shown for the Winter Trophy contest was Dec. 6 thru Dec. 29. Not understanding why it was only 3 weeks we sent a query to support. After we received an answer that we still didnt understand – we noticed that the date had been corrected to show Dec. 6 to FEB 2. Yet we no longer have access to the contest. ?? Evidently we are penalized for pointing out the discrepancy.
