Crossword Jam

After a while you forget how to spell, or question if you spell correctly even though you went in confident! That’s what’s tough, really. The words are easy and you’ll see at the top how many players were able to complete the puzzle- the closer you get to 5% the better you can feel if you rely on comparing your performance to others’, lol. I like that the words are relatively easy when fitting them in the puzzle is challenging. It makes you want to play time and time again. I’ve had to catch myself to not play when I found that a movie or family convo got a tad boring, imo (especially during Covid lockdown). If, for example, you’re waiting for your doctor at a visit and have already read read the news and greeted fellow visitors where some draw you into interesting convo about… a blissful nothing sometimes, this game is a great time-killer! Get it, guys. More specifics: travel through countries around the world, knock out different levels from a sleepy owl, and broaden your vocabulary by happenstance a few times. No, happenstance is not in the game (so far), maybe something as long a word will come along later. I’m on Level 566 towards the end of Cambodia, for reference. Enjoy!

This is a fun and easy game to play. It challenges your brain and teaches you new words that improve your vocabulary. I love this game it's very addictive and I can't stop playing it. Thank you developers and graphics people. The different countries that I get to go to after passing levels and the extra places I can go to for side quests is wonderful. Keep up the great work

I really like this game. Some word games they get so much harder as you keep playing that it becomes a matter of you buying points or coins for clues to be able to keep playing. This game isn’t that way. It’s just a fun word game. You certainly can buy coins if you want to but I don’t. I earn them through videos are other ways that they let you earn coins instead of just throwing money at the app.I’ve had this weird game on my phone just as long as words with friends, it’s been a while and I have really loved playing it. Thank you for making this fair for people that can’t afford to buy all the extra coins for help and still want to play a fun word game. I highly recommend it. This game is not full of annoying pop-up ads either. There’s a nice balance which makes it fun to play.

Enjoyable! A good game to play if you want to kill some time! Coins are a little difficult to get, but it's fine for me because I rarely use coins unless I'm really stuck in a word. (BTW the reason the creators responded to me was because I had a slight problem a couple weeks back, but it was fixed with a game update. Which also shows something good about this game is the creators are nice and quick at responding.)

I played using my brain and the ads when I needed a few extra coins. I got down to 4.8% of people solve the puzzle and was looking toward getting down to the finish.....GUESS WHAT! When I got my new phone and transfered everything over....the game reset all the way back to the start. I lost all my effort. They need to do something about this.

I generally like this game but sometimes find it really frustrating when I find words but they aren't placed in the crossword grid but in the bonus jar. The words used are normal, everyday words unlike the hardcopy crossword puzzles that use words that don't make any sense. There are a lot of ads and chances to buy extra items to play the game. The icons on either side of the puzzle don't make much sense. When I touch them, I'm taken to more screens and things to buy, I just want to finish.

I’m on the penultimate level of this game (which is Tonga, as of 26 Nov 2019), and have overall had a great time playing it. My quips are: 1) certain words that are very clearly existing words are not counted; this occurs both with singular or plural forms of certain words that are counted in their other form (“layouts” is counted while “layout” is not, even though the app’s dictionary’s first entry for “layouts” is “plural form of layout,” e.g.) as well as with a plethora of random words (“lust” won’t be counted even though “lusty” is, e.g.); and 2) the Daily Challenge is occasionally designed in such a way where you literally have to just guess which word is going to fill a certain space when multiple words could potentially fit and be correct in the “crossword” schema. For instance, say both “act” and “ace” would fill the space in the puzzle equally appropriately; you have to guess one or the other, and guessing incorrectly forces you to lose points toward the daily challenge that you’d otherwise have been guaranteed (as not all Daily Challenge puzzles include these frustrating elements—some, that is, are able to be solved in a more precise and accurate way instead of having to guess randomly).

Fun intelligent game that's hard to put down. But I do wish the game would include more elements of different challenges and options to play the game. Mix it up so that every crossword puzzle isn't the same puzzle that gets boring and predictable.

Strengths: Fun, relaxing, surprisingly addictive. Great user interface works well on tablet or phone. Pretty good privacy-wise. Weaknesses: Has both ads and in-app puchases. I spend more time watching ads than playing. On my phone (Samsung S20FE), the ads are partially off screen so the controls for dismissing the ad are not accessible, but the back button sort of works. Recent update added annoying side-games and updated the music to be less enjoyable.

Good game but screen locks up on me just when I earn points, or claiming a prize in a subgame. Very annoyed by this. However, I find myself enjoying the brain training by thinking about all the words in the English language. Sometimes it even accepts words that I don't think are real, but if it helps me with getting points then I'll take it.

Hi to whoever is reading this. Crossword Jam is a great game, but has constant ads, and most of them are frightening or inappropriate. The last ad I saw was an advertisement for a pill that makes you lose weight. This kept popping up over and over, so I just turned off my Wifi and played that way. There was another ad that was about “Royal Match”, and the ads are frightening. One of the so called “Playable Ads” showed a king underwater, and you had to solve a puzzle to keep him from drowning. If you want to make a game that kids can play, can you at least make the ads appropriate? Please and thank you? Also, some of the words that are in the dictionary are apparently incorrect when you match it up here. Isn’t RING a word? This is very annoying, especially when it’s the last word of the puzzle. Please fix this so these words are valid! Otherwise, this app is great! The levels seem to go on forever and there are more than one hundred countries you can go through. The power-ups aren’t bad at all, and the levels are challenging.

I do enjoy the game but a few things bug me about it. 1) There are numerous occasions where actual words are not considered words (even bonus words). The dictionary needs an overhaul, as apparently “ding” is not a words. 2) The leaderboard...absolutely fake. I played last night and the “person” in the #2 spot was at 3602 points (I was in 3rd). I started playing again this AM, but checked before I started…”person” was still at 3602. I played ONE round which took under a minute, and immediately dropped to 4th. The “person” in 2nd went up to 3802. So in that short span, this player mysteriously started playing at the same exact time and somehow managed to get an impossible 200 points… I have no doubt that if I spent money on this, the outcome of #2 would differ greatly, but I’m not spending money on a word game. Just get rid of the leaderboard success placebo as it’s just false advertising.
