Wordlook - Guess The Word Game

The puzzle is great. A nice low key challenge that helps slow down the busy brain gears. Honestly, though, the inappropriate number of interruptions really kills the effectiveness of the game. Seems to be the way it goes these days. Remember when there were challenging games to play without "the money" being the bottom line? Maybe it will happen again someday.

The game is a great concept and for the most part well executed. Three things I'd recommend to change: The input only lets me enter letters sequentially. I want to be able to place a letter where I want, to help me better visualize the solution. The regular play is mostly 3-4 letter puzzles, which gets old real fast. Consider allowing setting the word length. Finally and most importantly, give me the option to make a one-time payment for the game. A monthly subscription feels like rent.

Would be 5 star, but: two ads after every single turn. Come on. Overkill. Can't settle in and enjoy. And you can't just buy it - it's monthly. Doesn't get challenging till around level 150, and even then it could be a little harder. Maybe add the ability to put letters in random slots rather than needing the whole word. Other than that it's a simple and pleasing game.

Addictive and eventually becomes more challenging the more levels you play. The daily challenges can reuse many words with the same letter choices. Use the word "section" in the 7-letter games when possible for the best results. I averaged over 14 points per game in a 1,000 games doing so. In other words, the game became somewhat predictable. 3 stars max.

One of my fav apps, especially in word games. Not very 'pretty', in comparison with Wordscapes, but I find myself playing this game more, anyway, because it gives you choices because, if you can't figure out an answer, you can either keep trying or buy hints.My only complaint is I can't get the option to watch ads to earn hints to work, despite the suggested fix. I keep getting "sorry, no video ads available, try back later'. That's not a disaster, though, just makes your brain work harder.

I enjoy the game play, the puzzles get more challenging over time. The daily puzzles can be extra challenging sometimes, but in a good way. There are a lot of ads, but no worse than many other free games. Biggest issue I have is with the amount of data and battery this relatively simple game uses! If I play the game more than 15 minutes it will drain 25% of my battery and the phone starts getting hot. I may delete the game because of the data and battery usage.

I really like this game because it's different than any other word game I've played before. They're all so similar and repetitive and just not challenging enough for people good with vocabulary. This game taps into a different part of your brain and is just challenging enough without being impossible. Also, very few ads if any. Love it, thanks! UPDATE: I deducted a star because there's an option to watch videos to get more coins but it ALWAYS says there aren't any available. It's annoying 😑.

Very addicting if you like word challenges, and so different than the other million boring word games. There's been a few words that have made me go 😒 (because I wouldn't consider them real words, but more like sayings), but overall, I've been enjoying it quite a lot. I would add that the "watch video to add coins" feature DOES NOT WORK, and it takes FOR-EVER to accumulate coins. That is VERY, VERY frustrating. I really enjoy the game but it would be better if all the features worked.

The puzzles are simple. Too simple to be worth either watching ads after each puzzle or paying to not watch ads. This game needs either harder puzzles or fewer ads. EDIT: The annoying instant canned response has cost them a ⭐. I know free apps need a way to make money. My issue is that it isn't good enough now to be worth either the high level of ads or paying to avoid the ads. I suggested an improvement, but they seem to prefer to chide people for not appreciating their "masterpiece" as is.

The trick is to eliminate as many letters as possible, even if having to use already eliminated letters to gain more information. A word form of Mastermind, super fun brain work. UPDATE: I still really like this game, but mostly play the Daily Challenges. I do think that there are too many steps to earn only 15 stars to complete a new level in the main game. Also, some of the words are a little obscure.

One of the reasons I IovED Word Bound, was because it didn't have all the ads like alot of games do. I go to play today, and there is an ad after every game! What happened?! If this keeps up, I will have to uninstall. It's not fun being on a roll, and having to sit thru 30+ seconds an ad EVERY time you complete a level. Please go back to before.

The game itself can be fun. Starts simple and builds. Maybe it was my phone but there was no menu or a way to see what the point of the stars were. There were also many ads, which I understand that free games will have. But when you have to click out of an ad 3-4 times to actually close it, that got more annoying than the fun of playing.

Way, way, way too many ads! And no option to turn them off forever (purchases turn them off one month at a time). And the adds have like 3 layers of wait and click skip to get through them. One ad easily skipped between levels is fine. One ad you can't skip every 5 or 10 levels is also fine. Not 3 ads per level plus banners and difficulty skipping through.

Surprisingly good game. Challenging enough for a language expert. My only complaint is the ads. Some are fine, but they're ridiculously frequent. Many are too long, too repetitive, or too stubborn (when you try to close, it goes to Google Play or to another page, trying to trick you into hitting "Install"). . When I first downloaded the game, it kept asking if I wanted to rate it, but it was too soon--I would have rated it lower. Now it's stopped asking, but it's a very good game, so here I am!

I love this game and have been a long time user. On a previous phone, I had purchased no ads, but couldn't prove it, so I have this edition. I got used to the ads, they are short, but lately the game keeps crashing and I have to restart several times for it to work. When it works correctly, this is my review from before... Omgosh, dangerously addictive, challenging and fun.

Its' a puzzle that really makes you think and focus. I love it when i get the word first time, first glance. I dont use the definition hints until the last resort. Because you didnt have them when i first started. It was more of a challenge. So, i like to get it with no clues. Dont want to get lazy brain!

Love this game...just enough challenge to get the brain fired up and still be fun. Yesss .... there are ads but isn't that the case most games unless you purchase the ad free option. It's like Lingo but on your mobile device. Differing levels of challenge as you go through each set of five words and additional challenges with longer words. I've only been playing about two weeks, but as of right now its my favorite word game. Edit-been playing the game for several month now, and it's my favorite
