I love this game, and have been playing for years. But PLEASE stop that annoying, never-ending music from the Zen word search game. Once the ad plays, the music DOES NOT stop playing……..It’s SO irritating. This is more info on my above complaint. The music from the Zen word game ad continues to play through other ads and while I’m playing Monkey Wrench. I’ll try to send a couple videos showing this problem. Thanks…. PS…….Darn! I just can’t seem to attach a video. The two I wanted to send showed (with audio) Zen Word’s ad music playing over another vender’s ad, and playing while I was playing Monkey Wrench! I have the same problem while playing 7 Little Words. I hope you can fix this. Thanks so much for fixing this problem…..such a relief. I’ll continue to enjoy playing Monkey Wrench every day! 👍😋
Part of my daily dose of critical thinking to keep my brain sharp. I like that it has three levels of difficulty and lets me choose which one I want to use. Begin at “easy” to get the feel of the game. Move to regular mode until comfortable with your guesses. Now, after years of play, I only choose hard mode and that is just the maximum complexity I need for the game to be challenging yet still fun. As with their Red Herring game, I also find that I sometimes want to search the web to understand why a word I guessed was correct. That keeps we learning about aspects I life I may never had thought about. Simply UI. They don’t mess around with unnecessary updates that would ruin a perfectly made game like other free apps.
I too love the game and have purchased puzzle packs. However, for the past week, I have been seeing an ad after I play the daily game. I am one of those people who will generally buy the privilege to not see ads, but this is not even a choice! I did notice the choice is offered for the express version of your game, so perhaps I will switch to that - as I have done for seven little words app. In general, I think the games that are most successful at using this model are those that offer an opt out option, or, ask you if you want to watch an ad BEFORE the bonus is given.
Monkey Wrench is a fun word find quiz game with a twist that will challenge your brain – you have to use the clues to figure out what the hidden words...
