This is a great word search game that appears to have been abandoned by the developers. There are ads but the appear out of game play and don not interfere. We do wish there was a pause button or reset. We had interrupptions in play and have to abandon the game as a game timer continues even with inactivity.

We do wish there was a pause button or reset. We have had interruptions in play and have to abandon the game as game timer continues even with inactivity. The word lists are such a mix of easy to wow, never heard that one before! Great fun! We play this word search daily. We would like to be able to zoom in or change the font size, as is, it is a fixed font on a non enlarge able screen.
We cant stand the font used, a V looks too close to a Y, not everyone has great eyesight. Other than the one complaint the game is fine.
Would have given this a 5 star but dislike being timed! Cannot relax and enjoy when the clock keeps ticking.
Hi we dont know how to add friends, we dont know how to add a new name for ourselves, these words are so hard to spot, we need help we just need help with the game.. Hello again operater of this game hi we need you to get back to us soon we are so confused once you get back to us can you just explain the game to us because we are having other problems like the game is a little slow and glitchy and we want to add friends too but we dont know what it means by we need to add them in the Game Center we are so confused please help us.
We guess whoever designed this game, English is the second language. So many spelling mistakes.
Updated iPad. Now this game is terrible. Constant ads. Basic words. Must pay to have same free game as before. Pure greed.
Loved it until last update. Why the widddeeee lines and dark green? They obstruct the letters makes it really hard to find words. The thin green lines previous were great.
We have loved this game, now iPad says it needs an update to keep from draining the battery. And it crashes occasionally now, it didn't do that before. Please make changes if possible, as we like this game.
Really enjoyed the first 20 games— then while you're enjoying the challenge; you get loudly & annoyingly bombatded with adsTotally destroys your concentration & enjoyment of the app–kills it.
This is a great game that challenges search abilities. It would be great to be able to select a US English set of words since many of the UK English words are not common in the US.
Pros: we like how they cross the words off with a red line so it's easy to spot the words that you still need to find. Also, we like how when you flip your tablet to the landscape position the puzzle flips with you. Cons: The flashing advertisements are distracting when playing the game. At this point, not all of them flash, thankfully.
We guess the fonts for the blackboard and notepad are clever and we're sure somebody worked real hard on them but after about three minutes they give us a headache. Would sure like to have some other layouts to choose from.
Wish we never updated. Bring back the strike-through to cross off the found words. Currently after finding a word it gets grayed out in the list and it's very difficult to see which words were found compared to which need to be found. Ultimately slowing down your progress.
Now it crashes as soon as we open it.
We loved this game until this app allowed "us.demagnetizes858mz" to interrupt the puzzle being worked on an state a FAKE claim that our iPhone is corrupt. This type of phishing expedition with false claims should be illegal. You cannot get out of the ad unless you click okay which takes you to the website if this advertiser. This sounds HIGHLY ILLEGAL! Do NOT get this game … When there are sooo many choices of word search apps! We've had to delete this game.
We upgraded our iPad to 11.0S and now we cannot access it. It says app for word search needs updated. Can you upgrade it, so we can access it.
We have used this app for years and enjoyed it…..until the latest update when you added the Game Center ad. It takes 20-30 seconds to cancel the ad so that adds so much time to score. Will not play again until the Game Center ad is removed.
We hate this game it is the worst game we played.
It is very better for us word search without worry about lonely…:-).
We love this app – fun to play and beat previous scores.
We love word searches and this app is great. Don't play it if you're tired though… You'll never find the backward-diagonal words! ;).
We have installed this app on many devices, people who say that it does not work, stop using computers! And stop writing back reviews for something that you can fix.
We love this game. It's everything that we would want in a word search app. The only thing we would fix is the hints. The hints shouldn't just give you the whole word and we would also add a pause button so the timer doesn't keep goings when you do something else on the game.
Entertaining and hours of fun! Love that it times you…would be even better if it was timed.
Tried others but this is our favorite.
We love this game! So much fun and very enjoyable. Having it free is even better!! Great game, really.
Bug fixed in the latest update to make the app much interesting now.
We have been playing this game for 4/5 years yesterday after we upgraded it is frozen! Game comes up but cannot play. We deleted it & put it on again — nothing! Help love this game.
Great game. We thought the font took a little getting used to. It reminds us of the word search games we used to do in the newspaper when we were a kid.
We have the full version of this app… But to the creators: please spell check your words! For example, memorandum is misspelled (listed as 'memorandam'). :/.
We really like this game and now we don't have to carry around a paper book word search.
We've searched for instructions on how to pause this game. No where to be found! Can anyone help us? Any suggestions will be appreciated. What happened to the achievements and global leader boards? Thanks you.
Like the game but annoying flashing ad makes it hard to enjoy the game.
When you place your finger on some words spelled correctly, they won't lock in as found.
Why can't we change the font on this game. Letters small and we can not make them larger. We like the game except for the font.
It was fun and we liked it until it kept locking on the page with the MSG about how to show you've found a word or just bounces us out we're general. So annoying.
This was a great game until yesterday when the screen started to freeze. Now its not working even after reinstalling.
The app is require with ipad. But the itouch whatever is not compatible.].
We would just say its just ok it's ok.
The app worked fine for us, but is not one we will continue to use, because the words and the font were just too small. We're using another one now that we like much better because it gives us control over font size.
We used to love this game you could go in settings and change the topic to colors clothes ect until the timer wouldn't shut off please fix.
We're 66. Letters are too small. P and D look too much the same as well as C and D. Must need new glasses. Like block letters, not cursive-shaped letters. Retired elem teacher.
The background and font combinations for both choices make it hard to do the word search.
We love crosswords but the letters are tiny and close together. It hurt our eyes trying to play. Tried switching backgrounds but it didn't help.
Open app and it freezes as soon as you tap screen.
Doesn't work with iOS 8!!! Please fix and update this app.
This app does not work with IOS8. The entire app locks up & cannot be used.
The font is small and it is easy to misread letters like 'c' and 'e', but the worst part is that several words are not spelled correctly. That is a deal breaker for us. The 'hint' button does not give a hint, it gives the answer.
When and if it locks your word in the timer is still ticking away. Also, there aren't new boards after about four plays. No updates gets pretty boring after you remember where the words are. People like change or the app gets old.
