I've completed 98 puzzles and so far there has been no pressure to buy anything to keep playing. Puzzles make me think and reason, but most aren't too tough. So far it's just good fun! UPDATE: review from 2015 no longer completely accurate. More ads plus the creepy feeling that the game is always watching.

I've had this game for years, I enjoy it so much that I purchased the ad free version awhile back, but lately I've had a "super smart offer" pop up during my game play and it's been quite annoying since I purchased the ad free version so I wouldn't receive ads. Hoping they fix this issue with an update soon. *Edit* changed to 2 stars, issue still hasn't been fixed and it makes the game purchase pointless.

This has been a fun game for years, and I've purchased the paid version and had it on multiple phones. However, the recent updates have made it slower and removed the two multiplayer options that I had enjoyed in the past. The addition of daily challenges really doesn't make up for the deficiencies now. Please restore the multiplayer games, and remove whatever changes are slowing things down.

03/17/2023. This game is much worse now. There's a song constantly playing that I can't turn off and, again, 30 sec ads after a puzzle that takes mere seconds to solve. I used to love this game so much. Never again. Don't get this. 03/26/2020 I recently installed this game on my phone again, but I immediately removed it. An ad after every puzzle? A puzzle that only takes me a few seconds to solve? No thanks.

Fun way to pass the time, but don't like that the "buy a letter" button is so close to the letters, or that there isn't a confirmation requirement for buying the letter. I have unintentionally pressed it a few times and I've tried to solve every puzzle with no hints or help. Also, the Hard and Super Hard levels shouldn't have the same reward value. Lastly, some levels aren't truly one word. "Polish" the country, and "polish" (to shine) are not the same word.

I have been playing this game for 8+ years & was up to 4500 bonus points. It recently "updated",(when I got a new phone), & is now extremely slower than before - plus I lost all my bonus points & had to begin completely over. Very frustrating. Now it has twice the ads & lots of lag when changing screens. Looking for a newer, faster version.

Great game, but the amount of ads is too damn high. I could not get through more than 2 puzzles before I had to sit through a 30 second ad. Im all for advertising, but there were WAY TOO MANY for.me to be able to actually enjoy the game. I actually made sure I paid attention to how many puzzles I could get through before I saw an ad, two was the max. I got spammed with ads after almost every puzzle. And I made through almost 500 of them before I just couldn't take it anymore. Not worth it.

I like the game no doubt just... I liked it when we were able to play offline to help save data. Plus how we were able to get rid of the ads in the older version. After the update the screen stops and gets stuck, or slow! Also the ad in front about asking for help from friends would be better at how it used to be where we can ask on Facebook, or messenger, not Instagram!? Was better when it first came out unlike now making me want to quit and Uninstall just to save my data can't always afford.

It's a pretty good, simple time killer. I like the fact that you don't need internet to play it, except for the daily puzzle. The only issue I have with it is that there is no log in feature so no way to permanently save your progress, like if you uninstall it for any reason, you lose all of your progress and have to start all the way back at level 1 when you reinstall it and obviously also have to start from the beginning when installing it on another device. So a "Log in" option would be nice.

Good game. Ad free is worth getting and very reasonably priced (at least it was when when I got it). Two things I'd like to see: cloud saving, and the ability to catch up on the daily bonus puzzle. There doesn't seem to be any cloud saving since nothing besides the ad free purchase transferred to my new phone. It's a bit disappointing not to have all those coins and stickers carry over.

Great game! Nice mix of easy and challenging puzzles. I've been playing on and off for several years, I like the new capability to sign in and save progress across devices, tho it seems you've removed the player Vs player mode? I'm going to miss it, it was a great way to challenge myself and continue to enjoy playing once having completed all the puzzles

Found this game in my app history and redownloaded it. The game starts out super easy and a puzzle can take just seconds to solve. However, the ads that come up between almost every puzzle last longer than it takes to solve the puzzles. It is faster to close the app and reload the game to get to the next puzzle. I know ads are necessary for developers to make money, but ads need to be balanced with the actual play time. If, I spend more time watching ads than playing, it isn't worth it.

The puzzles themselves are fine, only taking a minute or two for the hardest level to be completed. Good for a game where you just want to do something quick. However, it feels like every three or four puzzles I get BOMBARDED by ads and an in-game suggestion to pay $2 to go premium with no ads. $2 really is nothing but I don't care about this game that much. I just want something I can actively use my brain for and play for a few minutes at a time. Getting constantly interrupted like this sucks.

The game itself is great, but the fact that you must watch a 30 second ad after every other game is ridiculous. One ad half way through each level would be fine (still annoying, but not nearly as absurdly annoying as EVERY OTHER GAME! I played this game years ago, and was addicted to it. I don't remember the ads showing up this much. I just downloaded for the first time in 10 years, and after reaching Level 18 (and my 9th ad) I swear I'm about to uninstall it!!😵🤯

I've been playing this game for years, mainly because it helps me with my english vocabulary and keeps my brain awake. I bought the non-ad version because the ads were too much, and honestly I thought my progress was going to be saved. Had to change my phone couple of days ago and when I downloaded the game, I had to start from ZERO! Really annoying... If you make someone buy the game the least you can do is have the option to save the progress somewhere!

I love this game I've been playing it for 2 years thanks for all the extra levels. The ads are a little much but excited about all the levels, had to reload so I had to start over when I upgraded my phone. I dumped it but just downloaded again. I like this app. It seems like there are alot more ads than i remember. Of my old score was lost but its been a couple years.😁

Love that I have to stretch my brain on some. Great for the waiting room! 3/2023 That was then, this is now. It used to be great but now the ads, the constant ads in between almost every game! I play one game, and then if an ad pops up, I close the game and reopen it. That is faster than waiting for the ad to finish. I might just delete this game, as I have others.

I have played this game for 4 years and have really enjoyed it. But this last update has been really disappointing. The "playtime get coins" ad has made it impossible for me to play. It pops up every time you do anything! Ads are ok once in awhile, but the frequency of this latest one won't make me spend money! I'll delete it instead! I'm changing my rating from 5 stars to 1 unless you can fix this. Edit: Thank you for fixing the annoying pop up from "playtime"! Back to 5 stars from me!

I've had this game on two devices and have finished them both several times and I still won't delete it because they keep refreshing my memory. I paid for no ads and it really does help. I hated the bombardment of ads like everyone else so I suggest try it. It's cheap enough. BTW, I tried many other similar apps ad this is definitely the best in my opinion. BTW, when will you be adding new levels? I need more. Please!

I purchased this so I wouldn't keep getting ads. But recently, annoying pop-ups like "purchase more points" or "play this mini game" or "here's your leader board position" have been appearing....sometimes right in the middle of the word I'm doing. Enough already. If I want something different, I'll download an additional game.
