Sidewords App Reviews

Others have noted poor instructions. A problem they could easily fix.

I found this game on Twitter and I absolutely love it!!! It combines a gorgeous user interface and game play experience. 10/10 highly recommend.

I bought this game on the whim, and I am overall very impressed by the gameplay. The only thing I feel missing is some sense of relative excellence in solutions. If there were some kind of scoring system, where larger words or fewer rectangles reap higher scores, I would feel more challenged to not accept the easiest outcome. Otherwise, this is a very addicting game, and well worth my investment.

Totally absorbing and challenging for word game fans.

This game is excellent! Nice design and includes night mode. Perfect game to keep the brain working and keep you thinking all day long!

Clever little game with a ton of content. It even comes with a bonus mini-game, and they’re putting out daily puzzles for the main game as well. Well worth the price.

I’m enjoying this but am frustrated that several of the words I’ve tried are not acceptable. I like the concept very much. Using the rows and columns to make new words but not being allowed to double up is a very interesting challenge. And at the upper levels I’ve learned some words I didn’t know.

I play a lot of word games. Sidewords and the bonus Quads game are both fun, different, and challenging. Kudos!

Why is this in portrait-mode only? Useless for iPad with attached keyboard use. Deleting now.

This would easily be 5 stars if only I could sync between devices... Otherwise a great little game!

This game is great! It took a little bit to grow on me. I wasn’t sure what I was doing and somewhat missing the strategy. Now that I have played it for about 2 weeks the strategy kinda just pops out and you really start rolling. Plus, I don’t understand how any one can complain about a game like this. It is free, no adds, and it is a great word game so...need I say any more? Alright, download it NOW.

As usual, Matt Rix has delivered a true gem. Worthwhile way to pass the time during quarantine!

The game is overall great, but loses a star for the number of non-words that it will accept while it sometimes also rejects real words. Whatever word list was used by the developer was a strange one indeed, and this can lead to some real frustration and/or incredulity when you find that you were able to solve a puzzle with a nonsense word.
