Community Insight:
Ive been playing this game since it came out. Its been seven years since an update it says? We dont know. Im not sure what else yall are working on, but this app really means a lot to us and we played every morning. Please dont let this app die out.
We look forward to the new puzzle every day. Challenging but not impossible, no annoying and repetitive ads, clever graphics. Whats not to love.
We love this game! Have been playing for years, since before phones, when we played on our Gameboy. Id like to make a request, though. We have to scroll back month-by-month to get to a game we havent played. Would you consider an open field into which a month and year could be searched.
Ive been playing word jong since we were a kid and downloading this app definitely took us down memory lane. Im in love with the unique style and challenges of the game but we would love if they added a few new features. It would be nice to look back at the completed puzzles and see the original score of the challenger and look at the list of words spelled. It would also be cool if we could play online against other players scores to make the game more interactive and fresh. The game is honestly amazing and relaxing to play but with a few new updates and features to keep it fresh It would be that much more incredible.
We really like this game. There are 2 problems, both in the word list. First one is we've put in legal words like sizzle or drizzle and the game says "not in dictionary". Second problem is words are either spelled wrong or they were words we did not even use. We still recommend this game highly. Thank you for a great game. Dot. Extra review note, this is the best game! New post: since when is Christ and Christmas not in the dictionary? Please check your dictionary. Merriam Webster has these words. As of 9/28/18 still love this game but why isn't the word Olympic not in the dictionary? Dot please answer these questions.
We have played WordJong for several years and it is a part of our daily routine. We just got an iPhone X and could not figure how to close the app after a game without a home button. It doesnt swivel when the phone is moved from horizontal to vertical as do many other apps. We couldnt figure out how to close the app and contacted their Support. They got right back to us and taught us about the grey bar that we can swipe from the bottom in either view. Thanks, Gameblend, for your game, for your Support, and for teaching us something about our new iPhone.
Having finished all the puzzles, one new option per day is not enough.
Edit: its 11/30/25 & still waiting 4 update plz! Ive been playing this game since it came out. Its been seven years since an update it says? We dont know. Im not sure what else yall are working on, but this app really means a lot to us and we played every morning. Please dont let this app die out.
Ive been playing Word Jong for years. We look forward to opening it in the morning to get the new puzzle. We agree with other reviewers that the dictionary needs an update. Ive tried to play numerous words that come back as not in the dictionary (and, yes, they are definitely words in common usage). If it werent for that, Id give it 5 stars.
This used to be an engaging game. Now many of the words are foreign syllables or so unusual that Wikipedia doesnt give a definition ! Disappointed.
There are too many words in the English language that this game tells us is not in dictionary.
Says common words arent in dictionary.
Word Jong is fantastic. We play it to relax. Our only "complaint", and just an ego thing, is that there's no way to see what the highest score was, and by how much we beat it. It only shows the new high score. Lol. We were seriously stressed when the latest update was needed. But you came through, and in addition, made improvements. Well done, and Thank You.
We've played this game for years and was so bummed because we thought it would never be updated and we'd have to stop playing. Thanks for the new update! It's perfect now.
Dear Developers, Thank you for fixing the Saturday banner block problem and especially for ensuring this game will work with the new iOS update! We've loved this iPhone game for years and now love it even more. We wish we could give it more than 5 Stars; now it's a perfect 10.
Still remains our favorite way wake up our night owl brain. Grab a cup of coffee and do your puzzle for the day. An addictive brain game for first thing in the morning or anytime. Not too hard, not too easy, love it.
We've been playing this game since we got our first iPhone. Try it – you'll love it.
Great game. Only wish we could get this game on our Tablet and desk top.
This is by far one of our favorite word games – totally worth the price.
Been playing a long time, no crashes, freezes or tech issues. Really fun and some are easier, some are challenging.
The puzzles are usually challenging and lots of fun.
We play this game every night before we go to sleep, if we haven't already played it at some point during the day. Sometimes we used legitimate words that this dictionary doesn't recognize! You guys need to load a larger or more sophisticated dictionary. It seems as if words are censored. 'Shat' a perfectly legitimate past tense is not recognized, as have been many other slightly obscure words. Very frustrating. Please look into the use of a larger dictionary.
We enjoy this game. It is a fun challenge.
If we could have just one daily game, we would, without hesitation, choose this one.
This is one of our favorite word game apps. On the technical side, it has never had a glitch and has always started up quickly. Game play is fun and relaxing. They also give you a new game everyday. If you don't play it, the game stays there waiting for you. You can go back and play or replay games for past months. It's a simple layout, but it works. We feel like we definitely got our money's worth.
We love the challenge of beating high score.
Great game for keeping the mind sharp.
The play itself is great, recommend to any word game lovers. One recommendation to the developer is to allow the player to view the list of words played up to that point during the game. It's frustrating to wonder if you should back up (undo) or not, especially if you're continuing a game from the previous day. Still worthy of 5 stars.
Lots of fun! Challenging…you could make the score to beat a little higher! A daily global play, similar to Word Aurora would be our dream.
Challenge your word knowledge by using random letters to make words of the most possible points. Like crosswords but without clues.
Very fun and addicting. We got better and better as we played each game. We want to play more.
One of the best word games around. You can play for hours.
Love this word game. Not too challenging, but different each time.
Love this game!! The combination of Mahjong and Scrabble is perfect and the word combinations are endless! Awesome job.
Favorite word game!! Wish there was an iPad version with retina display.
Our husband and we love this game! We have also got a few friends hooked on it.
We have had WordJong for about 3 years, and still it's our favorite game to play. Challenging, fun and brings out competitiveness in us that is not usual with other word games. Highly recommend.
This game never gets old! It's endlessly entertaining and satisfying.
One of our favorite quiet games we can play by ourselves! Loves it.
Love it. Been playing sometime now and it never gets boring.
One of our favorites for a couple of years now. Great word game.
We love this game. It keeps our mind working and we really try to make long words. Very nice app.
Then you will love WordJong. A puzzle a day to keep your brain on its toes.
We've been playing this particular game on our IPOD touch for 3 years, It helps us think while visiting the tidy bowl man.
A new one every day. Love to play it.
This is a challenging and enjoyable word puzzle game:-).
Challenging & Addictive. A must for language lovers.
Only way we'd improve this game, is to add the letters q, z, f, and a few more c's. :) This is a great game! Please make it available on the Galaxy 3 phone.
We love this game. It keeps us coming back each day to try the new puzzle. After we do the days puzzle, we go back and improve the days puzzles that we didn't do as well.
Endless challenge, tons of puzzles, plus cute to boot! In the top four word games with Scrabble, Mozie 2 and WELDER.
