What Makes Wordgrams – Crossword & Puzzle Stand Out
Wordgrams is a totally new type of crossword game where two players play the puzzle together. Some clues are pictures for extra fun! :)
Wordgrams is a turn-based game where two players complete the crossword puzzle together and compete for the highest score. It’s a new take on crossword puzzles too – Scandinavian style! – with clues inside the squares and some clues are pictures.
· Each player receives 5 letters at the start of each turn – then you have 60 seconds to place those tiles.
· You get points for placing letters correctly, completing words, playing all 5 letters, and fun bonus points tiles.
· Think carefully about playing certain letters though – as maybe it’s better to save that crucial letter for later!
Wordgrams is a unique twist on word games, and fans of crossword puzzles, Scrabble, and Words with Friends – should find themselves at home – and LOVING this new way to play!
Play with friend, random opponents, or the Wordgrams friendly teacher, Sophie, for immediate games.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Obvious bots as opponents. They Score low in the beginning and then 60+ points towards the end. Every. Time. Dont say there are no bots because there clearly noticeable.
Game will not let us update therefore we cant even play.
Our favorite game doesnt allow us to play anymore on our iPad. Our only option is to update which takes us to the App Store and open the app. Then it says update again. Ive uninstalled several times and that doesnt fix it.
Keeps telling us we need to update the game, and Ive done the most recent update. Very frustrating.
the ad system to extend your turn 30 seconds uses half of the bonus time before it lets you play. So skip the ads, the payout isnt worth it. They responded saying it was fixed. It is NOT fixed. Skipping their income stream ads is still the best solution.
Repetitive clues and cannot disable challenges from the general public.
We love playing this game with our friend when we take breaks on our walks runs smoothly and the programming is phenomenal.
We absolutely love this game. The design, simplicity, ease and joy of playing. We also have only met very nice people while playing this game. HOWEVER, the newest update somehow has affected the opening of the app. It no longer loads and we cant get to the main screen. We only see the yellow progress bar but it never reaches 100%. We would love some help with this.
Nice game, but an ad after every game is annoying.
Stuck at 16% when trying to open app.
Super Fun crossword game that challenges even the best crossword player.
We really like playing this game. It is challenging, but not to hard. The clues can be really weird like Top Gun is a clue for TG, but we can deal with that. The worst is that since they added the Challenges feature we are getting kicked out of the game after every round. If the bugs arent worked out soon, we are going to delete the game.
Its a lot of fun. The only frustrating part is, if a person is losing, they refuse to finish the game because thatll mess up their stats and rating. So its hard to get up in points.
8/28/21 Im done! Deleted!!! If we Dont hear from you we are deleting. 8/25/21. Please Fix! We are so exhausted with trying to play this game. Nothings changed. All it does is close and then we have to restart. Ive been playing less and less because Im at our wits end. We tried going to support to report but that wont open either. Our game always crashes, ALWAYS!!! We enjoy playing against the people Ive been playing but Im ready to Delete! Fix or Im Done.
We like this game its funny we just cant link to our Facebook and play with friends because it crash.
We love this game! You get matched IMMEDIATELY and if you get a repeat clue its not a big deal. Only thing is we rarely come across a real player. Also, we have powerups, but if we run out of time it doesnt give us a chance to use it, only to get a new one by watching an ad.
We were enjoying the app until a few weeks ago. We havent been able to create new games with a friend. We get an error message that says Oops! We couldnt create a match for you at the moment – please try again later.
Wont let us connect to our Facebook it glitches out.
The game is starting to get buggy and its bugging out a whole lot to the point its making our phone glitch constantly buggy today it needs a update we have plenty of space in our phone like around 100gb but its just lagging and buggy dont dont forget about the ads that consistently pop up but its a great game teaching us more about the game and its addictive to us but the game is good and this is by an actual person not a bot.
The game is fun enough but there are WAY. TOO. MANY. ADS. And it costs an arm and a leg to get rid of them.
We loved the game but way too many ads. If you dont want to pay a monthly fee forget it and find another app,.
Fun game but way too many ads. Also, price for no ads is ridiculous. Try a one time fee of $9.99 maybe. So good bye, Im deleting this app.
Seriously if we dont want the stupid game after 10 seconds Im not changing our mind since you forced us to watch one for 120 seconds. Too freaking long and it makes consider deleting the game.
Our problem is that we cannot support an icon, or a picture of, people holding signs, in apparent protest, but know that Wordgrams calls it a riot. No. No. No. We can never ever confuse or conflate the two. We dont like it, and keep seeing it. We really do like this game.
Absolutely ridiculous amount of ads. Typical personal greed on show.
We played the fall collection game ( gather leaves from game play) in order to win 1500 gold coins. Came in first place saw the graphic stating we won. But no reward was granted. That sucks.
This game used to be super fun and mind stimulating but, now it is way too many ads. Ive deleted this game due to the number of ads. You cant even enjoy the game because of all the ads that you receive. The game also used to let you complete puzzles on your own but it seems now that you always have to compete and match with someone which is another con for us.
Love this game but the app is slow, stalls frequently, and randomly shuts down.
This game is fun and challenging, but there are way too many ads. There are ads between every turn and some of them are very long. We would buy the game if it was a flat, one time fee, but we wont pay for it monthly. Cant recommend.
The ads are so frequent they make the game almost unplayable. We do enjoy the game itself, so we were going to pay to remove the ads, only to see its a subscription rate to do so? No, thanks. Ill just find a different game.
This would be a good game but the ads are excessive. Theyre literally seconds apart. Not worth the waste of time.
Good so far will continue to report.
We love this game so much but it is very obvious everyone we play against is a bot. Their profile pictures look like stock images and all the names are a first name and last initial. Its not as fun playing with fake people and not knowing if youre actually good or if its just automated responses.
We like the game besides the ads. We get it , its a free game but there is literally an ad after everything you do in the app. We shouldnt have to pay to remove ads smh.
The actual game is interesting and the code seems solid. Why we are not going to keep playing it is because a few annoying things such as allowing you to collect coins until you fill the bank then asking you to pay for the coins. Charging $ to add a profile image. Also, it is just far more ads than similar apps and the ads go on forever.
Theres a challenge in the game thats fun to play as long as youre okay with an ad every 30 seconds. We spend just as much time skipping ads as playing.
It actually rly annoying, this game WOULD be great, if it werent for the constant ads that will bombard you literally every minute.. And the insane price to remove them?? Jesus this game is just an insane cash grab.
You didnt build a game app. You built an ads app. One game takes over 30+ minutes because the user spends seconds on a move and watches minutes of ads. Every action results in another ad. Too bad as this could be fun.
This game is so fun but the amount of ads make us not want to play it! It needs an update to spread the ads out or we will find a different version to play.
We like playing against someone! This is a fun and challenging game.
Love the game but we dont like always playing with other players and being timed gives us anxiety when we like playing these to relax wish there was a pvc and no time option.
Edit: where did the chat function go? Still love this app but Im taking a star away until we can find the chat button. We LOVE this app & play multiple times daily. To those who complain about ads we just wonder why you think it should be completely free to play? When you all start doing your jobs for no pay, only then should you expect ad free games.
Game is fun but way to many ads.
It hurt our eye sight board are gray and some bugs.
The game itself is fun, but the constant ads are something else. Id rather pay a price for the game to never see an ad again. Our phone is less than a year old, but this game zaps the battery and overheats the phone.
This game is so fun but way too many ads.
We really like this game, however its ad after ad, and ads running on banners while you play. So much that it makes our phone hot and it starts lagging and drains our battery fast. We know you can PAY to get rid of ads, but Im not doing that.
The games are fun to play but we cannot get past the ridiculous amount of adds. We will be typing an answer into blocks and an add will cut us off. Might be deleting.
We like the actual game, we used to play with our friend a while ago and recently we remembered the game and wondered why did we stopped playing, so we redownloaded. Ok we remember, the amount of ads is INSANE!! Like we get the ads for free play but sheesh, every button pressed is 30-60 second ad, we spend more time watching ads than actually playing. Never again.
