Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
You can make this game easy,hard, challenging etc.
Very enjoyable. Unlikely locations for words make for some serious searching.
So many different topics. There are different skill levels and the fact that youre able to play against the clock or just relax and search. This game is a good way to just kick back relax and relieve stress.
It is a wonderful game. Love learning all the different animals and looking them up afterwards.
We give it a 4.5/5 bc the amount of games/categories/words is great! There should be a way to earn coins to play if a person doesnt want to pay a subscription. Seeing that it hasnt been updated in years, we would be skeptical to pay. Please consider a way to earn coins and keep it updated. Perhaps more people would pay (like a one time fee). Update (7/7/22): we see theres still no update to the app. Great concept because we tried doing back to back puzzles and it did give a different list of words. Something with more words would be great and chances to earn coins or unlock. Shame.. Find a decent word search app not meant for kids and we breeze through it.
We love that there are lots of topics and levels. The only option we wish they did offer was to circle the found words instead of a solid color. The solid color makes it hard to see other words. Our eyes tend to avoid the letters already found in a solid color. The option to have them circled would help to see all letters evenly if that makes sense. Other than that we love it. Edit Ive noticed that most words never cross each other so in a way the solid color marking the ones youve already found can be helpful and makes it easy. To make it more challenging they should try and make words cross into each other more often and have already found words circled and not solid.
Words Galore is a great game to relax to. There is an option for no time limit which is great to help us relax.
This would be 5 stars if there werent coins involved. We didnt know that each puzzle was a coin! Now that we are out of coins this game is pointless.
How come Im not able too play this. Spent $4.99 for extra coins. And cant even start the first game ( which is titled animals). We reset & deleted it then downloaded again. So what gives. If we cant play then we should get our money back. Help if you can.
On our iPad Pro we can't get it to load a single game! The app opens up, offers us the different options to play, but when we pick one out takes us to a blank screen and won't load.
Great to have levels of difficulty.
Great little word find game. Well worth the download.,.
Very nice for a free game. Not very challenging but relaxing.
Love this game…especially when we're bored.
Easy to play and challenging too.
This is pretty challenging, especially in the higher levels.
We like the categories and the hide and seek feature.
Love the expert setting. How can we get the 6.99 unlimited coins to show so we can buy it? Thats what we hate needing coins. Thats why we get rd of games. Cant afford it. The unlimited however would work.
Fairly easy, but we enjoy puzzles regardless.
Great til we realized we should slow down with the puzzles because we had to purchase additional ones before long.
Found this to be fun and enjoyable.
A few spelling errors but love the flash of colors.
Love the game with multiple play options (timed game, regular and blind). After a certain amount of games, they require you to pay money. Not cool.
Great time killer with lots of categories to keep you from getting bored with repeats.
We like that there are different modes, regular, the hints are hidden, & timed. We wish you could have options, like size of board, # of hints or amount of time. For a free game it's great. Good colors, & responsive.
It's fun but our ideal crossword has more words to find for each puzzle. Like in a 20×20 grid we prefer to have as many words packed in there as possible.
It was fun until you ran out of coins. Makes you pay after a while.
We like the overall layout and color for searching. It has different levels for all. Not much Free play tho. Would also like to choose our topics from list easier.
Not sure what the coins are for. We guess we'll play till there gone. Time fill in.
You shouldn't have to pay after so long of playing a free game but they give you a decent number of free games.
Ok so far. Not very happy about having to purchase coins to further play.
So if you double tap on the word you're looking for, that is, the list at the bottom, it finds it for you. It takes like five seconds to find all the words. Shouldn't it be quite a bit more challenging than that.
After just a couple of days we were out of coins and there isn't a way to get more, except real $$ money purchases. Was great fun until then, now we can't play at all, we'll be uninstalling this.
We've played a dozen word search apps and a few are pretty good. This app shines because it wraps solid game play in a fun and whimsical package. The depth of the topics and words lists means every game has something new. It's obvious that care has been taken in every detail, it's a special app. We appreciate that it's updated regularly. This is the new must own word search app.
We have a great time playing this game on our iPad Pro it's so relaxing and there's so many different categories so if we need to kill time and play we can do so and enjoy ourselves. Keep up the good work.
At first we were very skeptical about the game because we love word searches so we feel they have to be perfect !! At first the game seemed sketchy but we LOVED it.
Easy game as all search games are. This one could use more words for each game.
Great word search. Wish different words would be colored different but love that you can highlight a word backwards.
Great game and fills our need for word puzzles.
It's a great game and fun categories.
Great game! Love the hide and seek choice.
We especially like the "Hide and Seek" format. What a fun twist.
We really love the variety of topics and the levels of difficulty. Plus the hide and seek feature is fun! Thanks for a great app.
One of the best word search we have played. We use it every day.
Fun game, different ways to play.
We really enjoy doing word search puzzles. Most of the other apps are ok but this one gives you bigger and harder puzzles, which hold our interest a lot longer. Plus you have choices as to how you'd like to play them. BRAVO.
