Dingbats - Between the lines

I remember growing up and getting a page of these puzzles in school like on the last day before break. We could work on them in small groups to see who could solve the most. So this game has a lot of nostalgia for me. Some of these are a far stretch, but still totally addicting! Def an all time fav 🤗 I like the puzzles that have extra misc letters thrown in to throw you off. I changed the settings so all puzzles have more letters than needed for the answer.

Enjoying Between the Lines very much. It's a peaceful and nice style of reason and language puzzling. There's a full range of difficulty - not increasingly - and the pace is your own to set with the ability to return to unsolved puzzles later. The few ads are very reasonably p(l)aced within the app and your play and the next level unlocks soon after you open the last one and solve a few puzzles. Thanks to the Developers!

a good idea with mediocre execution. it's almost entirely word based, thus half the time it gives you one of the two words and it's really obvious, & doesn't make sense as a riddle bc the design is bad. i guessed answers from the blank words instead of using the actual puzzle. many of the puzzles don't make sense even after solving. once i guess one right it makes the repeat tricks with new puzzles obvious despite not making sense. and they butcher the phrases & that's all that makes it "hard".

I loved the game, still playing it... it keeps popping up to rate (Like crazy), so here it is: Great Brain Workout, not many ads BUT you ONLY get 1 coin for working a "puzzle" and it cost 3, 5, or 10 (your choice on amount of letters to reveal) to get a hint... though I appreciate them not making it easy for us, some are just hard!!! But, I am still playing because I love a challenge! I'll update later in game, as it goes from solving more and more to pass a level... I say more coins please!!!

I've had this app for a while and I love that more puzzles are available quite regularly. I just finished the newest puzzles and I can't wait for more!!! I have one issue. In level 19 there's a phrase. "You only live once" now I don't know how they could've gotten the phrase wrong but it took me forever to figure out that for some reason the puzzle answer is "You live only once" the phrase is "YOLO" not "YLOO" there are a handful of other puzzles that have similar issues too.

Enjoyable challenge for someone who likes puns. Some are simple, some take quite a bit of puzzling over. (Pun intended.) Rating again after a couple of weeks: Tons of fun! and raised up to 5 stars. The clues to the puzzles are limited--just a few letters and cost a lot of coins--so don't count on them too much. I find that coming back to a puzzle after a day makes it easier. Just enjoy the word play!

Some really great puzzles. A few of them are a bit of a stretch, but I managed to solve all of them (even if I had never heard the term/phrase before). And for once, one of these games isn't completely riddled with ads. They're there, but they're not after every single level like some other games. Hopefully even more puzzles are coming soon.

For once there is a game worth playing! Intelligent. Creative. Ranges from easy to mind-boggling yet offers the player new levels without having to complete the current level's more difficult challenges. Yet, you are drawn back to continue working on those pesky 'brats' that taunt you from past levels. Great game. Kudos to the developers who opted NOT to dwarf a winner with oversized and overdone ads! Thanks for respecting the public. Great game!

The challenges are very fun to solve. A feature that could be nice to have is the ability to share a puzzle in the format seen when trying to solve it the first time (with the blank letter spots and the letter bank). One issue is that the app tends to crash when I try to upload a picture for puzzles I want to submit. Fixing that alone would lead to me giving a 5 star rating.

Overall a great time killer, but some of the puzzles are big leaps in logic. You will have mostly very clever ones that are satisfying to figure out, sometimes you will get stuck. Usually you're not stuck due the the puzzle being hard, but because no rational normal person would be able to solve it with the picture given. You are going to have to resort to unscrambling the letters to solve those ones.

Keeps me thinking! Some puzzles really tickle my brain to solve, and others tick away pieces of it completely. It seems like after 5 or so really tough ones, theyll give you a break with some that are easier. If you do get stuck tho, there are different levels of hints for purchase. You also have tbe ability to move through levels that you have unlocked, making it easy to skip around through the game for a bit of relief from the toughest of their brain busters. A favorite for sure!!

Overall an enjoyable game. Some of the puzzles are VERY clever & challenging, while some are almost nonsensical (but only a very few). I previously commented that a puzzle that I had submitted may have been changed & used in an alternative manner. This was not the case. A developer and I had the same idea for a puzzle at the same time 😁👍. No harm. No foul.

I liked this game well enough to finish it. I loved that I could play on my own schedule without being rushed or timed. There were plenty of coins for when I got stuck and I loved getting to choose whether I was given a hint or the solution! I'm probably going to clear the answers and see if I can find them all again without help. There were ads at the completion of each level as expected and I didn't get interrupted every 30 seconds with extra. Great game!

Some of the puzzles are very easy, some too difficult, and a few phrases I've never heard of. Most annoying right now is that my shuffle option isn't working, and even when it did work it (as others have written) it pulled letters you'd already placed back into the mix. About four days after download I'm on level 10 and can feel myself losing interest -- app will probably be deleted within a few days.

The dark souls of puzzle games. Brutal, and at times unfair. Already, the concept in and of itself provides a challenge, but when you throw in oddly phrased idioms, or phrases that are hardly ever in use any more, it can make the entire play grind to a halt. It is essentially required to spend coins to pass, unless you want to lose your sanity. While the concept is good, I would not reccomend.

The game is fun, but like any game based on "common" phrases, there are some that are more familiar in different dialects or regions than others. For example, "Can't spell for toffee" is obviously more common in Britain than in southern American states. Overall, the feeling of stepping away for a day or two, then coming back and seeing the answer immediately is very satisfying, and much cheaper than paying for coins.

A couple of really great puzzles which can be a lot of fun to think about. However, I'm not sure if it's a translation problem or if it was made to be intentionally difficult, but the "common phrases" just end up being complicated. Instead of "eyes bigger than your stomach" it's "have eyes bigger than ones stomach" which I've never heard used once and strays far enough away from the common phrase to make it too frustrating to continue if this is what easy looks like.
