User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆Good Game, but …
I’ll start by saying that I love this game, and play it nearly every day. I like how, if you get all the letters placed in each round, you do NOT have to watch an ad - that’s nice. However, two things bug me: 1) if I play every day, why does my “streak” on the daily challenges disappear and I have to start all over? And 2) some of the words are errors - one hint was “vertical meas” and the answer was “heigh” - something tells me that should have been “height.” Also, “multiple children” ended up
★★★★☆Spelling
Love the game but some of the words are spelled wrong but you can work around it.
★★★★☆Ad buy out
Love this game. I would purchase a “no ads” pay option.
★★★★☆Some wrong answers
I really like this game. It’s just annoys me sometimes that this isn’t an American game. Like they have it as “tyres” instead of “tires”. And also I’m on a level where the clue is “Binary Digits”. I work in IT and the answer is BITS but they have it as BYTES. I know there were plenty of other mess up’s like this but can’t remember what they were exactly
★★★★★Brain power
As an older person this app really helps me exercise my brain without leaving me feeling frustrated or stressed. You know the saying “use it or loose it”
