Connect The Words: Connections

It’s a great game. I’ve been playing it every day for a couple of years… but for the last couple weeks when I try to leave the game, it freezes will not only not let me leave, I actually have to turn off my device, (and even then it actually freezes my tablet ) What’s going on with that? It is weeks later and I’m still having problems with the game. It makes me wonder if I should just get off for good. When I’m done playing the game it won’t let me leave. It freezes. It won’t let me swipe, it won’t let me do anything until I actually turn off my tablet . It’s not my device. It’s the only game that does that. Please look into that. I hate to not play the game anymore. I really enjoy it. So nothing was done… My unit is still freezing worse than ever you wanted me to update to a new version, but now that I did, I get the daily challenge and then I get nothing after that… So even though I had many years of fun with this game, I’m done I deleted.

I too love playing this game. It is very addictive and thought provoking trying to think of a connection shared by four words. I also agree with the reviewer who shared her frustration about sitting through ads in order to get one more “heart.” I found paying 5 coins for a hint usually was enough to get me thinking in the right direction. I reached out to the game developers about an issue I had with the game and they responded and worked with me to fix the problem. I was so impressed that they first, responded and secondly, looked into the problem, took my suggestion and made the correction! I give the game 4 stars because it is fun, but the outstanding customer support bumps it up to 5 stars.

This game is fun in the beginning, but as you progress it becomes simply a vehicle for advertisements. This is accomplished by creating arbitrary correct choices where it is not about the words but the faulty thinking of the creators of the puzzle. These puzzles include multiple (more than 4) correct choices. Grouping logically correct words are indicated as incorrect by the puzzle creators. This forces the player to use “hints” which eventually are exhausted, and force the player to view ads, to try to figure out the thinking of the puzzle creators. For example, one puzzle requires matching NFL team nick names. The words provided include actual parts of the team names and there are more than 4 possible correct choices. To make matters worse some of the choices are not “nick names” at all. Another example is the puzzle with words having two words imbedded in one word. The same puzzle includes words with fruit imbedded in the word. The problem is that some of these word choices are applicable to “connecting words” for both the former and the latter intent of the puzzle maker. I suggest you don’t waste your time on this one, I am deleting it.
