Cryptogram: Word Brain Puzzle Positive Reviews

Love this GameDownload it now!!! I love this game so much, it’s honestly really easy to play so basically you get a phrase/verse (whatever you want to call it) and it gives you a few letters with some numbers and under the letters it’ll have a number and then you can put that letter in every number that is the same and then that number will disappear after you’ve used it all up, and you have to keep guessing in order to figure out the phrase/verse… you can also pick categories which I love, there isn’t that many ads tbh, it also times you to see how long it takes you which I love because it helps me challenge myself. This game is super fun and I enjoy it, I literally play it daily, I’m telling you download it now!!!! It’s sm fun. For example, some of the categories you can choose from are, pop hits #1, Sherlock homes #1, movies #1, long quotes #1, titanic #1, great quotes #3, cartoons #1, Harry Potter #1, and so many more, there’s so many categories to choose from and I absolutely love it… the only thing that I don’t really like is you can only make a mistake with guessing the word wrong 3 times or else you have to restart or watch an ad to get one of the mistakes back but other than that I love it!.Drugged candyVersion: 1.8.5

Only Thing WrongI love this game, I play it every night before i sleep. The only problem is i can’t really buy more packs to do because I don’t have enough coins. I could watch an ad for 250, however considering the amount of coins i need at this point are 5000+, its not ideal. I could spend real money on the coins but I do not want to. This game is amazing and the new updates like having different challenges for your levels is great. You could win coins among other things from the special events. But its not guaranteed what you will receive. This is the only flaw and I’m not the only one who is having this trouble. When you play a game from a pack and finish a level you get a choice to receive 50 coins and move on or watch an ad and get 250, I always tried getting 250 when I could. However you don't receive coins from daily challenges or the regular challenges, it’s not an ideal thing but definitely not a hater this game is nearly perfect and I would love to see it in a dark mode edition of some kind for those with sensitive eyes as well as the coin problem, where there is a way to guaranteed way to earn coins with no extra cost of an ad or money..DuckyNugget2005Version: 2.0.4

This game is gaming!I love that this game has amazing qualities such as, being able to do a cryptogram at the end of the day, or even at the start! This game is fun for the whole entire family! My 3 month-old loves to play this game at 6 in the morning! You can give this game as a gift to a friend or a family member for Christmas! I play this game all the time! Sometimes I even skip work just to de-code the levels. When I can’t pay rent, at least I’ll have this awesome game. You can use the deep meanings and phrases in real life! I love this game, Thank you so much Cryptogram- Barbra Henry.Jayfree32Version: 2.0.2

I’d give 5 stars if…I’d give 5 stars to this game if it weren’t for the KINDS of ads that come through when I play, and the amount of them. Don’t misunderstand and think that I wish it were free to play and be ad-free at the same time because I know that’s not how it works. There is an ad that plays when you launch a puzzle, there is an ad that plays at the end of a puzzle, and sometimes there is an ad that plays when you complete a letter-set. That’s too often. Especially so when the ads break and freeze up the app that I have to close and restart to continue playing. I have a further issue when ads for apps that are rated 18+ pop up and are unskippable and have no way to report them as inappropriate. I’m pretty sure this game is rated at 12+ so having those kinds of ads makes me wary of playing it in the presence of literally anyone else without worrying that they’ll see it and think that I am into that kind of thing. I tried contacting the devs for this app to tell them directly but my in-game message to them under the ‘contact us’ tab has gone unanswered for nearly 2 weeks. It is a great game though, challenging but not impossible puzzles and a good variety. Sort out the ads and it’s a 5-star game all the way..NoomUser8Version: 1.9.8

Classic gameThis is one of those classic word puzzles that never gets old. This app does a great job with it and has a nice interface that makes it easy and fun. I highly recommend it. That said, there’s a new feature where it waits until you least expect it and then throws an ad break at you. I don’t think that’s a good move when you have a game that involves concentration. It’s completely jarring and ruins wherever I am in the puzzle. Once I click through and get back to the game, my focus is all off and it takes me another minute to get back into it. It’s particularly bad and might send me looking for one of the many other games that deliver the same puzzles. Short term revenue for a long term loss. If that feature disappears, id give this 5 stars and recommend this to anyone who likes word puzzles..〽️ell〽️anVersion: 1.9.1

Almost perfect but not quite…This is a fun game that you can pickup on a whim. It’s very relaxing and I’ve found a lot of quotes I’d never heard before. They’re not always the typical ones you find all over motivational posters in dreary offices. I particularly enjoy the quotes from the daily challenge. I’m not sure if they do this all of the time but so far this year they’ve picked a city to focus on each month. That entire month has quotes from prominent people from that country. I’ve learned quite a bit. My only complaint is the size of the numbers you read to decode the quotes. I’d like if there was an option to make them larger or maybe just bolder. It can be difficult to read if you don’t have perfect eyesight. For this reason I can’t play as much as I’d like. My eyes get tired after a while..Hnyb_deeVersion: 2.0.2

Game freeze!So I was enjoying this game SO much! I hadn’t lost 1 game, thanks to the ‘ad revive’ feature, I was able to come back and it never took me more than 3 mistakes! Then it happened. I used my ad revive and the game froze! I waited 5 minutes on that ad screen for it to give me an ‘X’ to close it, but nothing! I tapped frantically trying to trigger a restart or SOMETHING, to no avail. Left the game and came back to the same results. I had to actually close the game and open it back up! When Inwent back, it counted a life lost! Not only that, but the mistakes I do usually make are because I ‘fat finger’ (accidentally press the wrong letter next to the one I intend to) and it counts against me! Again, the only issue I have so far is I lost my streak. Great game, not too many ads, and quite challenging. Very fun..JanetChibiMoonVersion: 1.8.5

Not enough content without paying or watching adsThe game itself is great, but I don’t recommend for a long term player. I liked it well enough to pay for ad free version quickly, but I didn’t realize that there is only enough content for a few weeks of play before I’ve ran out of levels I can do. You get coins by doing collections/levels and daily puzzles; you use those coins to buy more collections. While at first a lot of the collections are cheap, they’ve gotten more expensive to where there’s now a net loss of coins. I now can’t do any more puzzles without buying coins or watching ads. I’ve done all the backlog of daily puzzles, and as many levels as I can. Now I have to wait for a daily puzzle a day to give me 25 coins, to wait on them to add up before I can unlock any more puzzles..SmmollohanVersion: 1.9.8

Good app but it is adwareI love the app. Nice graphics. But the developer has injected advertisements where ever possible. Make 3 mistakes? Watch an ad. Want a new pack? Watch ads to get the coins. Completing a pack gets you 500 coins but the packs cost over 1000. It is designed to lead you back to advertisements. Want to open a chest? Just get 150 keys. Each puzzle in a pack gets you roughly 3 keys so you need to solve 5 packs at a cost of over 5000 coins. The chest won’t give you back 5000 coins, so it is another way to sell more advertisements. I really love the game but I waste SO much time on the ads it starts to seem like I am watching ads more than I am playing the game. By the way, I paid the real money for no ads but realized I still have to watch them if I want new packs. SO much promise only to ask users to pay the price..BripakesVersion: 1.9.1

Fun, could use a few tweaksI basically like this game. However, I’d like it better with a few tweaks. I wish I could control how many hints it puts out - maybe start with one or two and let me ask for more if I want them instead of putting so many out automatically. And I don’t like having a long run of “themed” puzzles - like I’ve just had about six n a row about what cooking is like. I’m dreading opening the next for fear it’ll be yet another “cooking is like…” puzzle. And finally, I’d like some more obscure quotes, and/or a section for non-quote puzzles, because some are so well known that after recognizing a couple or a few words, the whole thing can just be filled in without regard to letter values, which kinda makes them not very puzzling..Dzc220Version: 2.0.4

Great game for beginners and experienced CryptogrammersThis game is amazing with lots of new, fun and engaging levels for different topics, ranging from Sherlock Holmes, to Titanic, to rock hits to quotes. On top of that, there are daily levels which require a bit more thinking because a letter can be locked until you solve the letter to the left and right of it. (For example, ‘O’ in word ‘for’ would be locked until you solved ‘f’ and ‘r’). Each daily level you solve adds a square to a picture. My only wish is that I wish I could see past solved Cryptograms since some of the quotes are wonderful, or play past cryptograms again. But still, I would 100% recommend this game to others. Lastly here are some cryptogram tips to help you out: - Look at the whole picture especially if it’s a song or a movie quote- you might recognize it if you’re not so focused on one letter. - Try to find the theme of the quote. This can help provide some context. If a quote is talking about a plant, they probably aren’t going to mention something completely unrelated like a sticker. - Fill out the letters you know - Think of common words, like Is, that, and, the, and, etc. Good luck and have fun!.Luna192009Version: 1.8.5

Great but a few major flawsA great classic puzzle game! I paid the few dollars to remove ads, but the downside is, if you guess wrong more than three times you have to either watch an especially annoying ad or start the level over. Not an uncommon thing, but annoying. My main beef though is that I’ve apparently run out of new puzzles because they’ve started repeating phrases. Also, someone mentioned in another review that the puzzles are too hard, but they would definitely be in the minority because I haven’t encountered a level yet that had less than 80% of players able to solve it on the first try. So it becomes less of a challenge and more of a chore to just fill in all the letters you’ve already figured out..Jen_botVersion: 2.0.4

Would be great with a few changesI really do like the game, but there are some things that would make it a better experience. - It easily heats up my phone and can get really slow/glitchy if it’s running for a long time and/or you have anything running in the background. - I don’t like that the super long puzzles have the same number of hearts as a short one. It would be nice to have more leeway just in case you accidentally click the wrong letter. - It would be nice if, when you click on a letter/symbol, it highlighted that symbol all over the board. It has this in the tutorial, and I was disappointed when it disappeared. This would also be really helpful for people who are colorblind when there are colored symbols..NczippVersion: 1.9.8

Missed some bugsI’d love to give this game 5 stars but they can’t get the bugs fixed. I really like this app. Tried three times to send a message asking for help with one of the packs — The Brothers Grimm — it got stuck after I completed the 5th puzzle. It won’t complete and move on to the next. Several of your ads get hung up and I end up not getting the 250 points at the end. Yet you just did an update that says it fixed several bugs. Please help. It’s a little frustrating. And the ads — too too many. Paid the $$ to get rid of them and there’s still too many. Please please do something. Or people, myself included, will move on to a different cryptogram game..Knit Wit77Version: 2.0.2

Not badI enjoy word puzzles, including this one. Downside is, they limit the number of incorrect guesses. So you’re going to have to write it down and play that way. The harder it gets, the more you have to use linguistic patterns to figure out the answer, which is exactly how it should be. But that requires making mistakes and testing your theory. But putting the wrong letter in doesn’t allow you to continue under that assumption, and try to correct it. The app immediately tells you you’re wrong, but it should be where it only checks your mistakes when you’re done. Other than that, still a decent game..Connecticut6Version: 1.8.5

So…I love cryptoquip. That’s the name of the game that’s played in the newspapers. Yes, I’m old fashion I still get the newspaper. Anywho, every game is the different. For 20 some odd years, two different states, multiple cities- the problem is always something different. Now, this game was fun. Until about level 10 when the problems began to recycle. The weirdest thing is with new levels comes new challenges where letters are locked and you unlock them to take a jab at solving the word. However, the puzzles are recycled so we always know the word. What I do enjoy is I don’t have to erase it I get a letter wrong, thanks to technology and the creators of the game. Yet, I’m on level 44 and I feel cheated..JordanKaexVersion: 2.0.2

ConfusedI’ve had this game for about 3 months or so and I love it. I play it more than any other games I have. But today when I updated it I couldn’t play. I tried tapping on the settings and all of the other things you can tap on and nothing is happening. It’s like it froze up. I tried redownloading it and it worked through the first couple of puzzles but after that it froze up again. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to delete this game I would like a solution for it please. Please Help,.Lindalou555Version: 1.9.5

It drains your battery, it it’s a fun game!This game is fun and engaging and challenging. I would give it 5 stars but decided to give three for a few reasons: 1. The ads. They are everywhere! At the start, end and middle of the puzzle. Yes, middle of the puzzle, which is annoying. This is a common complaint I see in the reviews. —— I did purchase the ad free version, because I really enjoyed it! 2. After a few days of having the app, I’ve noticed my battery is considerably lower after using it a short time. This is a bit suspicious as there are no high graphics or fast processing(at least I assume) so it makes me wonder if there are background programs running..Despicable heroVersion: 1.9.8

Great gameI really love this game. The cost for no adds is reasonable and you do not have to spend anymore money to keep playing. My only issue is that the daily challenges are not even remotely challenging. They are little more than a search for which letter goes with which number. The only puzzles that are slightly challenging are the “ultra hard” ones. By the games own stats, >99% of people can finish the puzzles on the first try. I am in hopes that writing this review will induce the devs to add more difficult puzzles..Esme IVersion: 1.8.7

Fun, but…I like this game but it is very irritating that it doesn’t automatically fill in ALL the letters when you have solved the letter. I have played many times and most of the time, if I made a mistake it was due to accidentally putting the letter in the wrong space when I was filling in all the spaces with the correct letter. If it would fill them in automatically, I would hardly ever have a mistake and the game would go much faster. I would like and appreciate that much better. What is the point of having to fill in every letter if you already know it is correct? That should be the advantage of playing online and not with a pen or pencil..Sntg4Version: 1.9.7

Remove ADsAbsolutely love the game. It’s a great challenge and I don’t mind the “punishment” of starting over when I make too many wrong guesses. I feel like that is an important part because I don’t want to be allowed to just guess things randomly and keep playing. There’s no challenge in that. Only reason I’m leaving my review at 4/5 stars is because I WANT an option to remove ads for money. I don’t care if it costs me $10, I want to pay to remove them. This game deserves the money, and I’d play even longer if I didn’t constantly have to watch an AD before playing a level, and after..Amusing but annoyingVersion: 1.8.7

LOVE IT, butThe game is really addicting, and to anyone I show it, they cannot move their eyes away from it. The only thing is that some of the levels like literature 1 and movies 3 are not letting me into the pack after I purchased them. If that bug could be fixed, that would be perfect. Thank you and the team for making this gem. Update: now it even won’t allow me to go into the hint shop without the whole game freeezing Update: thank you for the bug fixes..Dude224867484Version: 1.9.7

Good puzzles but glitches oftenI really enjoy the game but the glitches alone are making me look for a different app with similar puzzles. On the hidden spots where you have to get the letter on each side to reveal the blank, I will get both letters but it’ll still show the hidden spot as locked. The only way to unlock is watch an ad for a hint when I don’t need a hint. And then that finished the puzzle but it’s still telling me I have more to solve. I can’t pass that level now even though it’s solved and finished. So I physically can’t continue to play, it won’t let me advance. Fix the bugs and it’ll be a solid app..Kpauley25Version: 1.9.7

A bit disappointed.I love the game and it is very fun and relaxing. However, once you do the puzzles, there are no more other than the daily puzzle. It turns you off at the end. Leaves you wanting to play with nothing to play. PLEASE ADD MORE PUZZLES AND LEVELS!! I have competed them all and can only do daily puzzles and it makes me want to delete the app and find another. I will keep watching for new levels and puzzles. Thanks for what you do offer. I did enjoy them..5-toesleggVersion: 1.8.7

Fun way to pass the timeI really enjoy this game. There's not an over abundance of ads. My only gripe is every once in a while, I will complete a puzzle and the game doesn't seem to recognize it. It will act like I am missing letters when that's not the case. The only way to get past that and to the next puzzle is to restart it but that causes me to lose a life. So far, when I do that the game proceeds to the next puzzle after I solve the current one, again. Other than that, I really enjoy playing this game..Julesm4928Version: 1.9.8

Fun but some answers aren’t totally correct.So I’ve been playing for a couple weeks and I’ve done most of the Rock Hits packs as rock is my favorite genre of music. I have screenshots of the lyrics that are listed as songs that they’re definitely not. For example: one lyric was from the Motionless in White song Eternally Yours but was listed as The Neighborhood’s Sweater Weather. The most recent was a lyric from Green Day’s Good Riddance but it was listed as Foo Fighters Times Like These. There’s been other instances too but I didn’t screenshot those..Bumbletee322Version: 1.9.8

Fun game, but the number of ads is absurdI like the game itself a lot, but the number of ads is honestly absurd. I don’t mind having a couple ads in a game; I understand that developers want to make money. But here, you have to watch an ad before you play a level, DURING the level if you take “too” long (sometimes more than once! and it’s really not even that long!), after the level, so on and so forth. I’ll probably look for a similar game from a different developer because I really feel like I’m watching more ads than I am playing the game..RiverqkVersion: 1.9.7

Needs Better accessibilityWhile this game is well made and has a lovely variety, I with there was a way to make all of the indicators numbers instead of colorful music notes or what have you. The colorful music notes and such are much more difficult to work with if you are color blind or have dyslexia. This limits the bundles you can play extremely. While having different indicators is fun it would be nice to have an option to turn them off in favor of numbers..Space4ceVersion: 1.9.1

Has potential to be great!This app has tremendous potential. The graphics and interface are spot on and don’t give a 2nd class appearance. The interaction is just right between the complexity of the problem and a user solving. However, all of the quotes are German-based. There was no variety. Plus, some are not well known, making it a simple “fill in the blanks” instead of “let me try to guess the phrase while I fill it out”. Also, I would allow users to use the hearts to revive instead of watching an ad. The ad breaks are sprinkled in already..Luvcamaro3Version: 1.9.8

Great game with tons of ADs!!First off, let me say, I love word games. Gameplay for this game can be challenging but that’s what makes it so fun!! The reason I’m leaving a 3/5 star review is that ads get in the way of gameplay. I understand that you may be a small company that rely on ads to make any money, but there are way too many. Example, there are daily challenges - before you begin to play an AD shows, sometimes you can skip after 5 seconds. Then after ad you start to play. A little time goes by in the game and the DURING gameplay, there are “AD breaks” where you have to watch another ad before resuming. These can happen multiple times in a game. Then once the level is finished, you watch another AD before continuing. I understand ads before or after but not before and after and during gameplay. I’d love to continue playing but these ads are too much!!!.ShangriLA36Version: 1.8.7

MehI loved this game. The challenge was just hard enough that using hints and revives was an every odd level thing. Or it used to be. Through a recent update, now the game is too easy. Some levels are reused several times. Overall, I don’t play this game as much as I used to a few months ago. I don't seek games that are an intense challenge, but I don’t enjoy games that are too easy either. Maybe in a future update the challenge will return, but for now I’m disappointed..Serena66777Version: 1.9.8

Feature RequestsThis is a very fun game that gets your brain gears cranking. Even when setting the text up to 2X magnification, it’s still pretty tiny. I would love if the font could be increased more. Also, can we get a dark mode? For some reason, this game really drains my battery and causes my phone to overheat. I feel like it’s because the screen stays lit up bright white the whole time. That certainly doesn’t help. Can we inverse those colors or something?.Test eesVersion: 2.0.4

Just A Few IssuesOne really annoying this is all the adds like can their be an option to get rid of them. Also a dark theme would be amazing because it makes it easier for some people to read. A big issue I have is that I can’t get past level 7 in pop hits #1 because it won’t let me. If I open the level everything is already filled in and I can’t do anything. I can’t restart the level or try to get it to move on. It’s just stuck their so I can’t even finish that set of levels now..Amaryllis&IrisesVersion: 1.8.5

Too many ads.The game is fun but the ads are unbearable. I play a lot of games with ads and they almost always only give you ads between games. This one gives you ads every couple of minutes while you’re playing the game, in between games, if you restart the app, etc. It’s fun but I don’t think I will play it much because of the ads. Also, I turned the app off in the middle of playing a game and when I turned it back on it brought up a new game instead of picking up where I left off..X_sierrawave_xVersion: 1.9.8

Way too many addsGame is great - but there are so many adds literally every couple minutes… the frustration outweighs the joy of playing. The adds interrupt you many times in the middle of each puzzle breaking your focus and ruining your puzzle solving time and any enjoyment you were experiencing. They’re stupid long and you can’t skip them. I downloaded this game because I find puzzles relaxing but the adds are so infuriating I’ve decided to just delete this game and find something else..C.is.for.CoryVersion: 2.0.4

Like the cryptograms, but way too many adsI recently downloaded several puzzle apps, this one included. I believe they’ve cured me of wanting to use my iPad all the time. I understand that some ads are necessary, but this one has an ad before each cryptogram, after each cryptogram AND there’s an “ad break” in the middle of some. TOO MUCH! I actually would have considered paying for no ads, but I’m now so disgusted, I’ll just delete the app. No one wants to spend triple the time watching ads!.Antique TeacherVersion: 2.0.4

Typo in Francis Bacon quoteJust completed the March 4 Daily challenge in spite of your error in providing the correct Francis Bacon quote. In the middle of the quote, your version is “ ID OTN’ ” which needs to be corrected to “ I DON’T ”. Just thought I’d let you know. I’m enjoying the game, but I have encountered a couple of typos in previous challenges as well..TomzToonzVersion: 2.0.2

New update?I think there was a new update recently that has me absolutely stumped. It was working great last night everything was on one screen like the levels you buy with coins, the daily levels and the special events. I’m confused now as it seems to have split into 2 different screens, one being bundle mode (levels you by with coins), the other being like a Home Screen with levels that give you water drops and the daily levels. I’m confused by this as there seems to be no other way to get coins to play bundles unless you play the bundles, or watch ads. Since it already gives me alot of ads it doesn’t make sense to do this! I really liked they way it was before and miss the little notification you’d get saying it’s an ad game because of the support or whatever. I don’t understand if this is a glitch or an update. But I really feel as though it’s no longer living up to the game I originally downloaded. :(.Demonic.heartsVersion: 2.0.2

Too many adsIt’s a very fun game and i enjoy playing it in my spare time. the only problem i have is how many ads there are. you will be interrupted mid-game with “ad breaks” when playing which is very frustrating. if that isn’t enough, you are also shown an add upon completion of a level AND you are shown another add starting the next level. it’s very annoying and if it were a different game i definitely would have deleted it by now. fun game but way too many ads.😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😡🤬Version: 2.0.4

Would be much better with more text passages.Seems to just cycle through the same text passages over and the over at which point it goes from being enjoyable to feeling like a waste of time..Gxrt22Version: 2.0.4

Ok at firstI found that when I reached a higher level the quotes started repeating. The ones early in the game seemed more difficult because I had never heard, nor would I ever have read anything to have seen these quotes or their authors. But by level175 the quotes became a little more familiar (like words to a song) and the authors became quite well known in our world today. But the repeating of quotes, when there are millions and millions available online or in quote books - seems a little lame to me. Maybe developer lost interest, I don’t know..YoMomma1961Version: 2.0.2

Fake quotesSome quotes with wrong attributions, and others so repetitive that they’re easy to guess. Possibly AI generated. Look for “vibrant”, “symphony”, and “tapestry”. Good game concept, disappointing to play for long..OnlylouiseVersion: 2.0.2

New updateHate the new update. Taking away being able to get points watching videos for the daily puzzles you can save up enough to get the higher coin cost puzzles. Love the endless mode but still not able to get extra coins..……xoxVersion: 2.0.2

AdsReally love that I found this game, but holy cow, does there have to be so many ads? Like in the middle of a game, you get ads two and three times. It’s nice that you get five coins for the ads, but the distraction is bull. Leave the ads for in between games, not in the middle of a set!.GirliewatchersVersion: 1.9.8

I am not paying to get rid of adsI don’t know who y’all think you are, but this game would be phenomenal to relax with before bed if it wasn’t throwing ads in your face every 30 seconds-1 minute. $7.99 to get rid of ads is atrocious, and you should be ashamed.Abs170Version: 1.9.8

Ads are incredibly long and annoyingEven after getting the paid version of the app, you’re required to watch ads or buy coins in order to get any levels if you don’t want to wait weeks on end to earn enough coins from the daily challenges. The ads are ridiculously long, you can’t turn off the sound, and it sometimes makes you inadvertently click on the ad because of the eventual placement of the x. That’s got to be against the advertising rules?.KaterpilleroVersion: 1.9.8

Good game, when it’s playableYes, there’s almost more ads than game, and it makes my phone hot enough to burn within seconds of launching, and it lags so bad it takes a full 5 seconds to press any button and crashes the rest of my apps, but damn if it isn’t a fun game.Rlh1425Version: 1.9.8

Good gameMy gf and I both like this game. Yes a number of ads but they aren’t overly long with the exception of the hint videos. Only real complaint would be I can’t bring my gameplay across devices.

Cryptogram: Word Brain Puzzle Negative Reviews

Cool idea bad executionThe idea seems really unique and cool but whether it is a flaw in design or the nature of the puzzle many puzzles are literally unsolvable without blind guessing and hints. You are often left in a position where you are effectively playing hangman but unlike hangman you have to guess the letter and where it goes to get confirmation. Ive had multiple puzzles where it started with only 2 letters and both were already completed so i had no possible way of placing a single letter without random guessing. You can do minesweeper deduction logic where you make assumptions and see if they make sense but without the ability to play letters in the wrong spot instead of just being told you are wrong that is impractical. If i could turn autocheck off it would be an alright puzzle game but with it on the game is just a lot of random guessing or watching ads for hints to get an actually reasonable number of starting letters. Above all that the ads are so intrusive trying to navigate the menu to pick a category requires watching sometimes 4+ ads in a 30 second period. Thats not a huge problem though because if the game is good i would just pay to remove ads but its not so its not worth it..QuantumQuackVersion: 1.9.1

Battery destroyerOk so I really enjoy playing this game for the most part but it has some glaring flaws that ruin the experience for me. First of all, it absolutely DESTROYS my battery like nothing I’ve ever seen. I can play any other game on my phone off and on all day without issue, but with this game suddenly I’m in low power mode after only a couple rounds. (When it was fully charged all of 2 hours ago). I wish I would’ve played it more before I paid the 5 bucks to remove ads but that’s my bad. Speaking of the 5 bucks to remove ads, that’s a laugh in itself considering you still have to watch 3 minute videos every time you need a hint or need to revive. Which by the way, of all the “mistakes” I’ve made probably 90% of them are actually either the game lagging or clumsy thumbs. So you get 3 chances to clumsily select the wrong letter per round then you get to watch a 3 minute (interactive) video ad each time after that. I understand how mobile games earn their creators money, but this particular setup feels really greedy to me..GdiyssyiiydVersion: 2.0.4

Lost PotentialThis game concept itself is GREAT! It keeps you entertained and tuned in, but there are so many negatives that I deleted the game after two days. -Way too many ADS!!! I understand you have to live but there are so many ads in this game that not only have I deleted the game, I also refused to download or purchase from any of the games or merchants from the ads that I’ve seen. It’s actually very counterproductive. There’s an ad to start the game, to end the game, as breaks when you take a long time on a longer puzzle, add to even go to a new screen within the game (checking event status, coin buying screen, etc) -After reading other reviews, I’m glad I didn’t pay for the ad free version because there STILL seems to be an overload of ads. -If you play the game too long, the game will start to lag tremendously and it overheats your phone. Eventually, you have to force close the game and wait to reopen it after your phone cools down. -It’s built to have the user paying. It’s inevitable that you will have to pay for something, REGARDLESS of the excessive ads. It could be an amazing game and it was great for two days but you’ll only be playing the game 50% of the time that you’re on the app. As much as I hate Royal Match ads, at least they don’t have ads in the game..Reya1993Version: 2.0.4

Cute game, punitive adsDon’t get me wrong, you deserve ad revenue to continue making a living. I can understand that. I can give up a section of the screen for that minimally intrusive banner ad for that reason. There’s justifiable, avoidable and voluntary ads(example: extra 250 coins for watching an ad, retry chance for watching an ad) that I can understand too. And if I were to wish so, I will watch them. But there’s intrusive, screen-hogging, unavoidable, immersion-breaking ads after every game that embodies the word “punitive”. It’s punishing, not rewarding, the player when you force an ad immediately after each game clear. That just boggles my mind. And unfortunately seems to the norm for so many games. But isn’t acceptable for me, and this is yet another one..MaayakinsVersion: 1.9.1

Fun at first…This game has so much great potential. It is quickly ruined because of a couple is things. One, when you get to a certain level, you have no choice but to use the hints because the letters they give you don’t help at all. Two, in order to get a hint you have to watch these ridiculously long ads. Of course you can remove the ads for a fee but then you need to purchase hint packages. An absolute ripoff. Why can we not accrue hints as we solve puzzles? Why is it so difficult to give more letters the further you move along in the game? Yes I get it should be a little more difficult but NOT to the point where we HAVE to watch and ad or purchase hints. Deleting this game because it’s nothing but another cash grab..Kayboogie76Version: 1.9.8

Good for boredom, until…I’m on level 205 and I’ve noticed that the levels have started to repeat. On some levels, an entire word is already filled in by the system, or there’s a weird issue with the syntax when they have strange quotes. I noticed a couple of spelling mistakes as well so if you’re looking for a streamlined game, you’re better off finding something else. It’s one of those games that’s clearly a cash grab, so just be aware of that when you download this game. It’ll play ads while you’re in the middle of the puzzle and it’s $5 to remove ads. That being said it’s great for wasting time at work, so if that’s what you’re looking for you’re in a good spot..ElysiumAngel1427Version: 2.0.2

Buggy with an annoying amount of ads.The game was originally pretty fun but I’ve had the game for about 3 days and I’ve had 2 puzzles become unsolvable because double-locked tiles don’t always unlock after you’ve solved the letters around it, which I wouldn’t mind if it were as simple as restarting but that resets the entire puzzle and you have to watch an ad to do so, and likely get another ad break while redoing it. The ad pacing would normally feel fine without the need to restart some levels, triggering more ads. It’s just frustrating to have to redo the puzzle at all, on top of having to watch the ads again, and sometimes losing event rewards in the process..Infernapefan2Version: 1.9.7

You get what you pay for…The game is, honestly, quite excellent: five star quality… but: Those Ads! • Cannot be skipped: -1 Star • SO Loud AND Cannot Be Muted!: -2 Stars [• Battery draining: possibly related more to my model phone model than the app, so I’ll give it a pass; but if I didn’t have the ads, my battery wouldn’t be drained). Ad-Free Version just $4.99!…? No?!? The Developers ADvertise the promise of an “Ad-Free” experience for $4.99; a fair value for the quality of this game when considering the quantity of those ads. Unfortunately, when you look up the in-app purchases, this is the one ADvertised feature missing from their menu. As teases go, that’s harsh. Developers: seriously, fix this. Please! You [almost] have a perfect game. Final Thoughts: If the $5 ad-free option/version is made available, this would easily claim the title of best puzzle/word game… better than Wordle. With the ads it has now, I’d rate it on par with Microsoft Works [not a typo… for fun, go look up the original release of that software]..Go ND Sinnotts!Version: 1.9.8

Used to workThis app worked great—for a few days. Now it’s permanently stuck! Whenever I complete a level within a specialized theme, the game shows completed but that is all. It does not give me points, move to the next level or anything. I contacted support & nothing. I did the most recent update & now it’s worse. I used to be able to buy anything on any level. Now, that’s not even an option anymore. All I can play are the daily puzzles & their previous months. Too much time wasted trying to fix it + no response from support + extremely limited game choices = delete..Agi TaVersion: 2.0.2

So many ads...The gameplay is pretty fun but this app really has a boat load of ads. I totally get running ads and all mobile games have them, but this one has an especially high amount. It plays two different ads in between every level, and sometimes randomly forces you to watch one in the middle of a level. It makes sense to have one in between levels and have some to get hints/revive, but it feels like I'm constantly watching them. They also play the same ads over and over so it gets especially annoying. I just wish they'd cut it back a little..PrecisespaceVersion: 2.0.4

Overheated my phone!The puzzles themselves are fine, and I enjoy many of the quotes once they’re solved. My main complaint seems to fall in with most others’ reviews, as the ad breaks are obnoxious. In my case, my phone would begin heating up within 5 minutes of opening the app and starting a puzzle. Based on others’ reviews, I suspect the abundance of ads was causing the CPU strain. This evening was the first experience of the phone showing down significantly along with the heat. As much as I enjoy the levels, I will have to delete the app. I can’t risk long term damage to my phone over a puzzle game..AlirienVersion: 2.0.2

The ads go crazyI’m used to ads being played after a level bas been passed and also having the choice to play an ad to earn some kind of reward. But this app takes their ad revenue so serious that they play them during a level. Literally you’ll be in the moment and then *boom* “ad break.” As if they are doing you a favor or something. They give you a choice to skip them by costing each skip 5 of your earned coins. But the menu choice option happens so fast you really got to beat the timer. I was enjoying this game but it’s just not that serious hun.ANTHOlogytakenVersion: 1.9.8

It could be a great app BUTI bought the app ( it’s only about $5) so no adds during the game but it’s not very responsive meaning I have to click on a letter 4-5 times and sometimes it’s delayed so I keep clicking and all of a sudden goes to the next one and there you go, you make a “mistake” It’s ANNOYING!!! Especially when your brain works fast and you’re acting fast. I feel like it was designed like this on purpose so you have to watch the stupid adds. To those who complain about the size: You can enlarge the letters (3 different size options ).IamMissHunVersion: 2.0.4

They are getting greedy with the adsI’ve been playing for a while and I have really enjoyed it. I paid for no ads and even though you still have to watch an ad or a hint or get the x5 after you complete a level I still enjoyed it. Now after this last update the hint has changed from getting a whole word revealed to a single letter. I went to the contact us through the app and raised the question and never received an answer. It’s really frustrating and not responding to a question a customer asks is unprofessional..ClsallVersion: 1.9.8

Game brokenSince the last update game doesn’t work. Game opens but unable to click on anything. I guess making sure ads worked was more important than game play. Oh, and you should fire your QA staff. Happy Holidays..CA1515FUVersion: 1.9.5

To many adsWay to many ads. Very disappointed.Shc116Version: 1.9.8

One of the worst apps for adsHas to be one of the worst apps I have tried for ad interruptions. Also will not save progress on daily puzzles. If you leave it, you start over - ridiculous!.CKCS MiaBVersion: 1.9.8

Age 4+ but pornographic adsDisgusting they wouldn’t monitor.Ottawa 222222Version: 2.0.5

DisappointedThis game had some promise with basic cryptograms. In the first ew games the answer was based on adages from the past. After a few rounds it morphed into something like the Top 40 hits with answer sounding like a top 40 bubble gum song. All of the crypto hints disappeared. You had to solve based on what current tween song might sing. Very disappointing..CordesteVersion: 2.0.4

Dead end adIt’s a good game. I didn’t even mind the ads until ‘Game Pulse’ started appearing. The only way to get rid of it is to close the app and hope it goes away. Wish I’d read about the pitfalls of updating before updating it!.Oopik3Version: 2.0.4

Ads Ads AdsThey have so many ads & they are loooong. Longer than any other game I’ve played. I bought the no ads feature and I still got the same loooong ads. I asked for a refund. Don’t waste your time.TeenbabeenVersion: 2.0.4

Ads, ads, adsGreat game format but honestly, I’ve never seen so many ads. Looking for another product now..Scrabb-illVersion: 2.0.2

Starts okay….And I don’t mind ads…. they start out as occasional ads, then they are after every round, then they are after every round AND they interrupt the round. It’s not that exciting a game to tolerate that many ads. You haven’t done enough work to earn that much of my time. Also, would rather NOT have a bunch of it filled in and only 3 strikes. It becomes more filling in the blanks than puzzling. Kind of lame..Apple AudVersion: 2.0.2

Ads won’t close after playingAds run, then bounce between the ad and the app. The x won’t close the screen. You have to leave the app completely and come back in. Makes it very annoying. Stopped using app after 5 levels..SteeleinwikiVersion: 1.9.8

Ads are terribleI watched an ad to get revived and it didn’t even revive me. It wanted me to watch the ad again. This app is terrible, and it’s levels are boring. Please do not download for your own safety..SassviVersion: 1.9.8

Never paid for an app that had so many required adsThe game itself is fun, however I have never had a game I have paid for to be ad free that still requires me to watch so many ads. I tried to watch 10+ ads today and only one has worked which of course means parts of the game don’t work. Save your money and get another app. This one has way too many buy, buy, buy, ads, ads and more ads for a game that you are paying for. Shame on you for pretending your game is ad free. If you are thinking of buying it…believe all the people who have reviewed it, its really bad..DavcaroVersion: 1.9.8
