My first review: “First, it appears almost all of my previous stats were discarded. I want to know how many of each level have been played, and that’s gone. You cannot save your progress to Apple, only to FB and Google. There is an elusive league now that you are in. I started in the Bronze league at the bottom, and it’s not clear how you advance through leagues. There are no help files to explain that. Since I have played over 1200 words, I’ve lost a lot of data apparently. Also, words were beginning to repeat pretty obviously. How many times did I see “ultra” or “setup” repeated? So they need to expand their base dictionary. I see many new ways that the developer is trying maximize monetization of the app. I guess it’s hard argue with that, but it’s a distraction and inconvenience. I would say the game went from an unequivocal 5 to a 2 or 3. Why didn’t they just make a second version?” However, now I am lowering my review to 1. Because the answers have become impossible. They needed a better dictionary, but now it’s virtually impossible with crazy answers. How would you like the following impossible or virtually impossible answers: Almud, Paseo, Eskar, Yince, Jemmy, Miaul, Ziram, Allee, Enorm, Bonze, Volar, Horks, and Litai . Come on. Use a big dictionary but chose the top 50,000 words. Comment on leaderboards: How do they determine who is where? They need to specify criteria. My wife and I both place and nothing about our statistics reveal why we have such different placements. C’mon developers: tidy up all these loose ends.

i like this game (basically Wordle that you can play constantly) and enjoy the challenge. it was fun and my go-to whenever i had a little time to pass. the newest updates/additions have made this game unplayable to me and i will be uninstalling the app after this review. recently they added ads to the game. i understand the need to generate revenue so the ads themselves don’t bother me. the fact that i need to watch part of the ad before i can skip the ad (pretty standard) then watch a shorter part of the same ad after i already pressed skip only to have to press skip AGAIN (seriously annoying) and then to make the user watch ANOTHER short segment of the same ad to be able to finally close the ad is too much, especially since the user has to endure this between each and every puzzle they want to play. my gf and i like to compare scores and compete (even though some words are more difficult than others and we’re never guessing at the same word) but the newest update created a pop-up screen at the completion of a puzzle that cannot be closed so you cannot go back and review or take a screen shot of the puzzle you just finished. i hope they fix some of these issues for future players. sadly, my gf & i will not be around to find out

Firstly, there are no instructions. This is intended to be like the game Wordle. yellorange= the letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot; green= the letter is in the word, and in the right spot; dark gray=the letter isn’t in the word. It’s pretty much the same, except that you can only guess a word a day in the original and this allows you to play (I suspect)infinite games. This is also a little more challenging. It still uses common enough words, but I don’t find it quite as intuitive or as easy as Wordle. In the games I’ve played, it’s used words with somewhat odd letter arrangements, though still common words. I’m honestly just looking for something relaxing and easy like the original game, maybe somewhat mindless lol. For those who like the original and want just a little more challenge, this is good. It’s challenging, but doesn’t use obscure words or words unfamiliar to a US English speaker or anything like that.
