Apr 26, 2021 I have been really enjoying this game but recently it keeps crashing have reinstalled it but when you press the next button it crashes. -
It is fun...
Jun 14, 2020 With that being said, I do have some complaints: (1) The ads play with the volume on. It’s very jarring and annoying and kind of a violation tbh. We know you’re a free game which means you need ads, but it’s truly infuriating that they randomly play with the sound on even if your phone’s on silent. Plus, often, you’re not given the option to mute it once it’s already playing. (2) While the feature to play with all sorts of people is fun, there should be a limit to how long you have to wait for your opponent to take their turn. Sure people are living in different time zones, but if you start a game you should be responsible to finish it. I have games that have sat idle for two days and I can’t just quit them or it’ll count as a loss. Also, it seems like some people are holding people hostage, if you will, not playing their turn so they can try to talk to you, whatever their motives might be. more -
No time for whining
Dec 23, 2019 A real good time with a spin off of the board scrabble game but on a great mobile format which matches you up with opponents from all over the world. They have incentives which I enjoy as personal goal challenges. You can see your achievements on your personal profile page which others see only a limited portion of if they are playing you. They do have a chat window which I use only to chat about the game at hand. I love the game and really want to improve my English diction but some players use the chat window for their own reasons and you soon learn how to find the players who love the game as much as you do so you both can enjoy the game the way it was developed to be. Just wish the chat window hat a controllable spell check feature. A bug-free environment for my iPad and iPhone is a reasonably priced game for its in-app purchases so that you may use the word radar and super swap feature. You do not have to spend a penny if you do not want to because the game really is free. The only thing I can strongly advise is parental control with young children. They do offer a profanity filter, but for young children, I feel from my experiences, the filter alone is not enough. more -
Jun 17, 2021 This game is a pain but I love playing! Kicks me out in middle of games, sometimes before even starting one. I have uninstall and reinstalled countless times and it is very frustrating. I know I'm not the only one with this problem, but surely the answer can't be with all our devices? Do something please, Playsimple! more -

Jul 4, 2020 The game is awesome, its the people who come on here to chat that mess things up. You can choose to ignore them, and when you do they just do not play with you anymore they do not finish the game and so you are automatically the winner. There are a-lot of players that are amazing, that challenge you and some that are not that good, but in the end, the game is addicting. Just ignore those players that want to chat and you will be just fine. I only wish that the games in which the chatter leaves because you do not want to chat, that those players are penalized somehow, like if they do that 3 or more times they are blocked from the game. This is not an online dating site, its a game. A darn good one too. Don't mess it up. more -
Like the Game But Improvements Suggested
Jun 27, 2020 I am in agreement with many others that I don’t like men trying to connect with me during this game. I am here to play it not to find a mate. I have one. I don’t dislike the chat feature totally just that part of it. Secondly since the last update my iPhone 11 has been very temperamental about moving the letters around when I’m attempting to find a good fit. Maybe you can look into that. Lastly I’ve had words that were actually words but weren’t accepted, how or where can we submit those for consideration? I do think there should be a limit on how many days the game is left open maybe three at most. Right now I’m seeing about five. more -
Jun 3, 2021 The game is fun. Should be able to turn off two letter words. Also, when the ads come on my music stops playing from YouTube music. So what that means is every time my music stops I have to leave the game and go to YouTube app to restart my music. This is very frustrating and will cause me to play less or Uninstall the game. more -
I like...BUT
Oct 8, 2020 I like this game a lot but they give you these Quests in order to earn power ups and one of the Quests is to chat with opponents. However, the chat interface is REALLY REALLY BAD! And you can no longer see your typed words beyond about 6 words which leads to lots of errors in an already horrible interface. ANOTHER THING ABOUT THE CHAT...lots of guys just want to chat and not play. A simple Hello (to meet your Quest quota) is understandable. But beyond that, I don’t want to get into deep conversations with strange men. Seeing how the interface is so bad, chatting is really just a chore! Wish I could turn that feature off and earn power ups in a different way, in the place of chatting. more -
frustrated
Jan 29, 2021 I absolutely love this game the concept all the elements to it make it fun for me if there was a spin on being able to switch up letters by buying power ups. However this is the only game I have on my phone it freezes every couple of turns the pop-up to come up each time and when it gets to the pump up it freezes and stays there I have to repeatedly close the app and start all over again it’s bad enough to deal with the pop-ups but I understand it’s a revenue for the creators, but it crashing and freezing really stinks I have the updated version. End it does this to me on two separate phones I don’t know if it doesn’t like me or is it good you guys can fix I hope it gets better cause I’m on the verge of quitting even though I love it more -
Fun word game but word of warning for women...
Jun 10, 2020 If you are just there to play the game and not getting chatted up by tons of men, be warned. I don’t mind a little casual banter but it always gets to the point of them wanting to just talk and not play the game. There is a block feature which I have used. But there is also a feature that occasionally pops up ‘encouraging chat’, when you haven’t chatted yet. I think some men mistake that for the female actually saying hi. It’s misleading and I would like it removed. If you are there for chat, have fun. Men, keep it casual. Not every woman has to have a man. more

Jun 15, 2021 I really enjoyed this game UNTIL the game started freezing and would not let me continue playing. I have tried restarting the game but it goes back to black screen for a few seconds then goes to main screen. Will not allow to finish any open games I have. The ONLY thing that I've found that allows me to play is to Uninstaller then reinstall. Even then it eventually goes back to kicking me out of my games. Please fix this bug. I'll fix my review. more -
Game won’t work anymore
May 30, 2021 For a week I haven’t been able to play. The game partially loads and then cuts off. I restarted, deleted everything else, updated and did everything I could. I made sure my device has plenty of room, the game just won’t load. I’d hate to have to delete this game altogether. I noticed there were problems before this crash happened. It used to take a mi Ute just to move one tile. Then the definitions would pop up and I ne er requested the definition. The ads take such a long time which would make one turn last very long. But I was willing to overlook that. Now it doesn’t play at all. So disappointing. Update: I’ve had to delete the game at least once a day and download again. It was the only way it would work. This has been going on now for a week. So tonight I had to delete it again and I tried several times to download and play. The game crashes immediately. It was frustrating trying to place letters and definitions would pop up. I haven’t heard from any of the creators of the game. Nobody has reached out with any explanation or tried to help solve this problem. I will be giving it a final delete and look for a different game to play. more -
Jun 14, 2021 Downgrading to one star because the game is incredibly unstable. Half the time it won't open at all, and sometimes it kicks me out in the middle of a game. (Yes I have the latest version, yes I tried clearing my cache and restarting, no it did not help.) Fun game, but they don't use a standard English dictionary, so there are a lot of made-up words and misspelled words that are allowed to be played. more -
Jun 14, 2021 I recently downloaded the latest update of the game and now I can't play it anymore. Not sure why this is happening!!! I've tried EVERYTHING to fix the crashing, but, it just doesn't help the game whatsoever. I've come so far in this game and now I may have to delete the game!! I really don't want to do that though!! Someone needs to fix the SERIOUS bugs in this ONCE awesome game!!! I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET!!! FIX THE BUGS OR MORE PEOPLE WILL DELETE THE GAME AS I AM GETTING READY TO DO. more -
Jun 5, 2021 Been playing the game for several months and quite enjoy it. Game features and environment are easy to navigate and the game itself is decent... However, the game is buggy and fails regularly. Have contacted the developers several times and eventually there is a fix. The last time, several of us in the game complained about a bug weeks ago and still no response. The prices they want, I would NEVER pay for such an unstable game. I'm having trouble even justify it for free... more -
Jun 14, 2021 What's with the game shutting itself down? I've played almost everyday since I reinstalled a month ago and now the game won't hardly even load after an update. Fix this as I see I'm not the only one having this issue. I'll look for another game in the meantime. Good way to lose people for your app and get negative reviews. more -
May 31, 2021 Was working well until today, so I updated it and still cannot play. I can click on a game and once there I cannot do anything, the whole game freezes up, I cant even exit the game, i have to restart my phone. So the update didn't help anything. Did the next up date and it worked for a while, now it is back to not working. Did the 2nd up date. Still doesn't work. more -
May 30, 2021 I'm so sad that I have to write this review for one star... honestly I love this game. BUT I CAN NOT STAND the fact that there is some kind of a glitch with it. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it multiple times moved it from internal storage to my SD card and back. But still it won't let me open a game fully and play my move without freezing, shutting down and forcing me back to my home screen. more -
Jun 1, 2021 Uninstalling. Reason why? At the start of every game they have 7 seconds where you have to choose between a "premium" rack with a seven letter word that you have to watch a 30 second ad for, or a normal default one which you click "play selected" to use and get to the game. Which wasn't so bad, but NOW they put ads on BOTH racks, the default vanilla one if you don't want to wait 10 seconds for the game to start you have to click and receive an ad, which you do because usually there's no ad. more -
Watch out
Feb 29, 2020 This app is a cover for shady international game developers. Watch out. App has you create an account. Which is fine, except for if you want to delete it. For some reason their support team refuses to delete accounts. Why is this? After asking them to delete my account they took me in circles, and after 6 emails, flat out just stopped responding. Horrible service, and makes me wonder about their intentions. In their replies they listed stats they knew about my phone like the battery level, the make and model of my phone, and some other things I don’t understand. I NEVER gave them permission to access system information like this. All I can say is watch out for this company. more

May 27, 2021 The app is very broken for me, hangs often, games go zombie and eventually timeout. Support e-mails get no response. Also the ads are terrible, there are too many popup prompts and I would *never* pay a monthly charge for it, even if it worked perfectly. Similar problems with this company's other game, Word Bingo. Glitchy. Update: glitches are fixed, much better now! more -
Jun 15, 2021 Breath taking, challenged the mind. This game is all that but the freezing of this game is frustrating, and most people dont want to play if they are not winning they rather time out so you lose that game how unfair is that! Fix the game please. If I reinstall I will lose my points, money everything I built up in a years time. What a waste smh! more -
Great word puzzle. Feb. 16, 2020
Feb 16, 2021 I do have a problem. You have ads and I accept this but there’s one in particular I’d like you to check. It’s for Pyramid Solitaire. When the ad is finished I’m not able to get back to the game. The ad won’t disappear. I’ve even downloaded it the game but there’s still no fixing the problem. Please check into this. WordWhiz is great. I especially love that when I got further into the map there are tournaments. The lengths of time varies. Some go for a few days. TRY WORD WHIZ. YOU’LL LOVE IT! more

Thanks
Sep 28, 2020 Best scrabble game! However it seems some of the ads are way too long! That’s why I took a star away. I don’t mind a few but it’s getting more than that now. When you’re playing a person that is online and you have to wait so long to even play and then when you play you have to wait again so long. Might be switching if it doesn’t get better. I know they have to have to have ads but when they keep playing the same ones over and over and you don’t want them in the first place then you have to watch the whole spiel again. more -
Ads Causing App to Crash, but Great Game!
May 22, 2021 For the past week, this wonderful “free” word app game crashes and/or will not load once certain ads appear between matches (at least during SmartBot matches). I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but the crashing is so regular that it’s almost not worth reinstalling. Please advise! Otherwise, this app is SUPERB, especially being able to play against SmartBot, and not being forced to play “online with friends.” Is there something I should try in order to prevent app crashes between every other round?!?! more -
Jun 7, 2021 Great game. However some players quit playing when they are loosing badly and there is no way to get them to come back and finish the game. They sit there on your board making it look like you have all these games open when you don't. Eventually they time out and your not credited with a win and any power ups you used are wasted!! They need refunded at least.. Developers need to put players on the clock and automatically forfeit them. And people who don't finish any games need to have some kind more -
Like scrabble
Jan 10, 2021 No complaints- other than the gazillion ads (not paying for ad free because I only use these games as nightly “wind downs” after a stressful work day or some killer of time if I’m waiting in a long line somewhere) If you’re opponents are LIVE playing the games are fast paced. If they take a few hours to make a move, you have the ability to start as many games with other opponents of greater or lesser skill set. For now it’s a sufficient enough game, I’m sure anyone with a decent knowledge of words in a dictionary or thesaurus will enjoy. more

It is fun...
Jun 14, 2020 With that being said, I do have some complaints: (1) The ads play with the volume on. It’s very jarring and annoying and kind of a violation tbh. We know you’re a free game which means you need ads, but it’s truly infuriating that they randomly play with the sound on even if your phone’s on silent. Plus, often, you’re not given the option to mute it once it’s already playing. (2) While the feature to play with all sorts of people is fun, there should be a limit to how long you have to wait for your opponent to take their turn. Sure people are living in different time zones, but if you start a game you should be responsible to finish it. I have games that have sat idle for two days and I can’t just quit them or it’ll count as a loss. Also, it seems like some people are holding people hostage, if you will, not playing their turn so they can try to talk to you, whatever their motives might be. more -
Jun 3, 2021 The game is fun. Should be able to turn off two letter words. Also, when the ads come on my music stops playing from YouTube music. So what that means is every time my music stops I have to leave the game and go to YouTube app to restart my music. This is very frustrating and will cause me to play less or Uninstall the game. more -
frustrated
Jan 29, 2021 I absolutely love this game the concept all the elements to it make it fun for me if there was a spin on being able to switch up letters by buying power ups. However this is the only game I have on my phone it freezes every couple of turns the pop-up to come up each time and when it gets to the pump up it freezes and stays there I have to repeatedly close the app and start all over again it’s bad enough to deal with the pop-ups but I understand it’s a revenue for the creators, but it crashing and freezing really stinks I have the updated version. End it does this to me on two separate phones I don’t know if it doesn’t like me or is it good you guys can fix I hope it gets better cause I’m on the verge of quitting even though I love it more -
Great App
Dec 19, 2020 I love this app so much! I am encountering some issues that are not being fixed in the updates. They have to do with the advertisements after submitting a word...many adds have no volume button to turn off sound. The ad plays loudly despite having my ringer off and sound all the way down. Also, some ads never go away or don’t ever have a “close” icon “X.” The only way for me to continue playing is by closing out the app and restarting. It happens all the time with one ad in particular (football scratch off). Other times I have no choice but to click on the ad and it takes me to the App Store, then I have to close out again and reopen. It’s getting old. Please fix these issues in updates! more -
Good but has some big drawbacks
Aug 5, 2020 As far as I can find, there is no way to opt out of the constant barrage of invitations to games started by others. I must constantly decline and frankly don’t know how long I will keep the app if there is no remedy for this. I only want to play with my personal family members. I like the change in the board’s tw dw tl dL spaces from what we are all used to in Scrabble. I like the chance to swap tiles and not lose your turn. I like the way the app indicates immediately if your guess is a word or not- just streamlines that process. We were sad Scrabble had to end but glad we found this. Overall it’s great but the game invites may be a deal breaker unless this is changed to allow me to opt out. more -
May 31, 2021 When I first started playing there were hardly any ads. Now I'm bombarded after every play. I was tricked into paying to get rid of ads. Oh no it was free then they would automatically deduct it through pay pal. Pay pal and every app works to make money. Most games I love are not as bad. But all are increasing ads. Oh well. Their loss. Bad time to be doing it . Peace Katt more -
Game Structure Good; Stability Poor
Jun 14, 2021 When I can play the game it is enjoyable. No complaints. The power up tools are a nice benefit and earning coins is easy. But I only will get a day or two of play time then I cannot get logged in. I open the app, and then anywhere in the process from the first screen displayed after opening right up into and including playing letters in a puzzle, the screen suddenly freezes and then shuts down. This will typically go on for about 24 hours before whatever the software is doing in the background clears out and I can play once again. Fix this and my app rating changes from 3 to 5 stars. more -
Jun 12, 2021 Fun game. Ads can be intrusive, sometimes after every move, but when you want to watch an ad to get a free bonus, you get: "Fetching your video. Please try again later!" Which is extremely frustrating!!! I'd love to get the premium ad-free, but way to expensive!! more -
Best Scrabble Alternative
Oct 9, 2020 This is the best scrabble type game that I’ve come across so far. Easy to accumulate coins and I like the extra features. Cons: they allow words that aren’t recognized in the scrabble dictionary. This affects gameplay because often I will play a word and not anticipate someone playing off of that word, but they end up squeezing in some nonsense word anyway, sometimes scoring big points. Also the chat is ridiculous! So many men on there try to chat me up and often ask for my personal contact info and they are very persistent. Luckily I can mute them but I would like the option to just turn chat off completely. more -
Another crasher here
Jun 15, 2021 I *love* this game and had quite a streak going, lots of badges and even a word worth over 130 points! I kept 30+ games going all the time. I could do without the guy messaging me multiple times to tell me to put my letters on the red squares cause I’d get more points that way, 🤦♀️ but it’s no biggie :-) But for the past week it’s been crashing, and now won’t even stay on a board long enough for me to even see what letters I have. Or it just sits with the purple screen and never opens. Developers - can you please fix this? I pinky promise I’ll come write a 5- star review if it gets running again. Pretty please? more

Jun 15, 2021 I really enjoyed this game UNTIL the game started freezing and would not let me continue playing. I have tried restarting the game but it goes back to black screen for a few seconds then goes to main screen. Will not allow to finish any open games I have. The ONLY thing that I've found that allows me to play is to Uninstaller then reinstall. Even then it eventually goes back to kicking me out of my games. Please fix this bug. I'll fix my review. more -
Watch out
Feb 29, 2020 This app is a cover for shady international game developers. Watch out. App has you create an account. Which is fine, except for if you want to delete it. For some reason their support team refuses to delete accounts. Why is this? After asking them to delete my account they took me in circles, and after 6 emails, flat out just stopped responding. Horrible service, and makes me wonder about their intentions. In their replies they listed stats they knew about my phone like the battery level, the make and model of my phone, and some other things I don’t understand. I NEVER gave them permission to access system information like this. All I can say is watch out for this company. more -
Crashes constantly
Jun 9, 2021 This game is fun. However, it crashes constantly… i mean every time i use it, several times during a play session a few minutes long. And like others mentioned, it’s been a fee days since i can’t even play. The app starts opening up and then crashes. Without this crashing issue, this would be a 5-star game… but today alone i have had to delete the app and re-install multiple times… and i lost all my games when i logged back in. Extremely frustrating. Advertisers will start leaving if the developers don’t fixe the issue, as people will stop playing. There are many other word game apps, the developers should address the crashing issue. more -
Jun 13, 2021 Now I decided to pay the subscription to avoid those terrible adverts, because of the consistently of this problem Next problem ~ is I don't get the booster. Tells me I missed it several days and that includes today even though I came on before 5pm when booster supposed to start. Then comes up I missed the booster. I have reminder set on my system. Was playing at that time. What I did to avoid missing, I set a reminder on phone so as not to miss the booster. Can you explain that, please tell. more

Game won’t work anymore
May 30, 2021 For a week I haven’t been able to play. The game partially loads and then cuts off. I restarted, deleted everything else, updated and did everything I could. I made sure my device has plenty of room, the game just won’t load. I’d hate to have to delete this game altogether. I noticed there were problems before this crash happened. It used to take a mi Ute just to move one tile. Then the definitions would pop up and I ne er requested the definition. The ads take such a long time which would make one turn last very long. But I was willing to overlook that. Now it doesn’t play at all. So disappointing. Update: I’ve had to delete the game at least once a day and download again. It was the only way it would work. This has been going on now for a week. So tonight I had to delete it again and I tried several times to download and play. The game crashes immediately. It was frustrating trying to place letters and definitions would pop up. I haven’t heard from any of the creators of the game. Nobody has reached out with any explanation or tried to help solve this problem. I will be giving it a final delete and look for a different game to play. more -
Jun 14, 2021 Downgrading to one star because the game is incredibly unstable. Half the time it won't open at all, and sometimes it kicks me out in the middle of a game. (Yes I have the latest version, yes I tried clearing my cache and restarting, no it did not help.) Fun game, but they don't use a standard English dictionary, so there are a lot of made-up words and misspelled words that are allowed to be played. more -
Jun 14, 2021 I recently downloaded the latest update of the game and now I can't play it anymore. Not sure why this is happening!!! I've tried EVERYTHING to fix the crashing, but, it just doesn't help the game whatsoever. I've come so far in this game and now I may have to delete the game!! I really don't want to do that though!! Someone needs to fix the SERIOUS bugs in this ONCE awesome game!!! I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET!!! FIX THE BUGS OR MORE PEOPLE WILL DELETE THE GAME AS I AM GETTING READY TO DO. more -
Jun 5, 2021 Been playing the game for several months and quite enjoy it. Game features and environment are easy to navigate and the game itself is decent... However, the game is buggy and fails regularly. Have contacted the developers several times and eventually there is a fix. The last time, several of us in the game complained about a bug weeks ago and still no response. The prices they want, I would NEVER pay for such an unstable game. I'm having trouble even justify it for free... more -
Jun 14, 2021 What's with the game shutting itself down? I've played almost everyday since I reinstalled a month ago and now the game won't hardly even load after an update. Fix this as I see I'm not the only one having this issue. I'll look for another game in the meantime. Good way to lose people for your app and get negative reviews. more -
May 31, 2021 Was working well until today, so I updated it and still cannot play. I can click on a game and once there I cannot do anything, the whole game freezes up, I cant even exit the game, i have to restart my phone. So the update didn't help anything. Did the next up date and it worked for a while, now it is back to not working. Did the 2nd up date. Still doesn't work. more -
May 30, 2021 I'm so sad that I have to write this review for one star... honestly I love this game. BUT I CAN NOT STAND the fact that there is some kind of a glitch with it. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it multiple times moved it from internal storage to my SD card and back. But still it won't let me open a game fully and play my move without freezing, shutting down and forcing me back to my home screen. more -
Jun 1, 2021 Uninstalling. Reason why? At the start of every game they have 7 seconds where you have to choose between a "premium" rack with a seven letter word that you have to watch a 30 second ad for, or a normal default one which you click "play selected" to use and get to the game. Which wasn't so bad, but NOW they put ads on BOTH racks, the default vanilla one if you don't want to wait 10 seconds for the game to start you have to click and receive an ad, which you do because usually there's no ad. more -
Jun 13, 2021 I don't what kind of update and fix you did on the 7th but my game hasn't worked right since, it stalls, it closes, and it's shut down my phone, soooo fix??? I enjoy the game, and I enjoy a challenge, but the better you play the worse your letter tiles get. On multiple games I have started to get 90% multiple vowels, like iioouat, repeatedly. And it didn't start doing that until I had won several games in a row against people and the bot. more -
May 30, 2021 The amount of advertisements is preposterous. There's an ad after every second round when playing against real people and after every round if you're doing the dailies against the bots. It's a vile strategy to frustrate people into paying the outrageously high $50 fee that removes ads for a year. I'll be deleting this app as soon as I finish my games in progress. Shame because it's actually a fun, highly interactive game. more
What’s Groovy
My #1 issue with the app is:
The CHAT WINDOW- Only allowing you to see ONE LINE as you type, but allows you to continue typing BLINDLY. This only creates the necessity to send corrections, often multiple times........because the keyboard is very outdated too! Speech to text would be very expedient! Also, using SOME emojis can totally lock-up the app causing me to come very close to deleting my otherwise favorite
place to spend hours.
The rest of these suggestions are more or less me venting:
Would be nice to have: single tap remove previously placed letters in reverse order and hold the remove button to pull them all off.
Also, would be nice to have chat open for a few moments following each game..... for congratulations and to discuss continuing or meeting back later, etc.
I have always, even with Scrabble, thought the game would be better with another row of “plain” squares bordering the entire board.......as it is, there just isn’t enough room for very many longer words.
Of course, the ads are always there... but after a person has seen the same ones twenty+ times, or more, it seems, they could make more sales elsewhere!

What’s Subpar
As a premium paying member I am fed up with this app constantly kicking me out, closing down, crashing and simply refusing to open. Evertime I want to play I have to uninstall and reinstall, which is a few times a day. Please can this issue be resolved, otherwise, much as I enjoy this game, I am calling it a day and uninstalling for the last time. Thank you
