Wordscapes - Word Game Game Reviews

It’s Okay…. So, let’s start with the good. Wordscapes is a fun way to challenge your brain and learn new words. Also, you can guess wrong and/or incorrect words all the time. But, for me, that’s where the positives end. I know lots of people say this, but I’m going to it again. The game uses words over and over and over again. I can’t tell you how many time I’ve gotten the word “emu” in this game. This doesn’t add to my vocabulary, if I have seen it over and over again. In the game, the “hints” are 100 coins, and bull’s-eyes are 200 COINS!? Like, for ONE letter it cost the same amount of TWO letters? You might as well save up for the “rocket” option at this point. My other complaint is the chat systems of the teams. I was once on a team and inappropriate things were said, and SEVERAL people reported the messages and had them removed, yet that person was never kicked or removed from the team? Like, they should be removed at the FIRST report, wether the team leader reported them or not. TLTR: Great idea, but the repeated words, having to spend to many coins on hint, bull’s-eyes, rockets, and the chat systems, it just not okay. Overall, a game I would not recommend. 😐

Good game - needs improvement. I've had this game for over a year & have become a little invested. I have family/friends that like to do the tournaments; they find them fun. It's creative, has good graphics, cool animals and interesting puzzle combinations. It's a great time filler when you just want to play a quick game to relieve stress or change the pace. However, there is some room for improvement. Many of the puzzles have too many repetitive words; for me that gets annoying. Secondly, you can tell that these are young developers who came up with the words for the puzzles, because they allow many new words and omit some of the other common/old words from the dictionary. It almost seems random how they decide on the words in/out of a puzzle. Thirdly, there are too many ads even without paying for them to be removed. If you pay, that will get rid of most of them but you still have to deal with them somewhat. There are also a lot of glitches. You may enter a word into a puzzle and it will appear not to be there, but then try to enter the word later into the same puzzle and it will populate. It's weird! Or like bonus gifts where you watch a video, it may glitch or doesn't play, or reward you properly at the end. There's definitely room for some improvements but overall, the game is entertaining.

Not acceptable. Love the game, been playing several years. Recently the game stopped allowing me to watch videos to get prizes i.e. butterflies, coins, game helps, etc. i waited almost two weeks, thinking is would get fixed. When it didn’t i contacted support, Jeremiah responded “ Hi there! This is Jeremiah with PeopleFun. Sorry, you are having an issue. Free coins for videos and surveys may be limited depending on demand. A person's region, device, and inventory are all factors. During high-demand times, you may not get a prompt or get a message that a video isn’t available. Thanks for playing!” To which i responded “ So Jeremiah, are you saying ‘high demand’ has been going on for two weeks? Sorry, but that is B.S. i am in the same region, on the same device for several years. I play several games (some others of yours) and none of the other games have this (or any) issue. So if you cant fix it, maybe you can ask someone else, or i can give you a review stating your company will not fix my issue”. Then i got this response from Kenny “We reported the bug to the team. They are looking into it. We appreciate you making us aware. Thanks for your patience. We reported the bug to the team. They are looking into it. We appreciate you making us aware. Thanks for your patience.”

Review going down. I love this game. It’s the only game I play. I love the tournaments BUT the game always freezes. It is especially frustrating when you are in first place in a tournament. I almost didn’t play third weekend because I was worried the game would freeze and it did not disappoint. It froze after I had maintained first place for about an hour. Apparently the makers of this game can create it but can’t keep it functioning so it can be played for any amount of time. Despite my many complaints and complaints from other players this remains a problem. My initial review was five stars. This is an ongoing problem so I have finally lowered my review to three stars. Update: This game doesn’t seem to freeze as much, but now my complaint is that you can enter a word correctly and it will be rejected. This happens quite a bit and so you waste time looking for a word that isn’t there, only to enter the rejected word again and have it be the correct word. I entered one seven letter word ten times before it was accepted as the right words. This is still the best word game out there, at least for me.

Old Version Better/Coin Issue. I’ve played this game for a few years now and noticed a disappointing new feature with the coins. In order to use them now you must purchase them. This was not a requirement with the old version and makes me consider deleting the game daily as the use of the coins used to provide you with helpful features like; revealing one letter of your choice for a difficult word, etc. It’s a bit illogical to continue to show us coins that we’ve earned through finding additional letters or for reaching a certain level, yet we have no access to them unless we purchase them??? It feels like a design flaw as you play and really makes me wish I hadn’t updated to this newest version. Other than that I would have given 5 stars but it’s such a nuisance I have to grade much lower despite truly enjoying playing the game. Suggestion: Get rid of the option to pay for coins per player's choice if you decide to keep the paid “earned coins” version of this game as most people are never going to bother purchasing anyway it’s like having a commercial running in the upper right corner of your television screen while you’re watching your favorite TV show. It cheapens the look and feel of the game. It feels like the game creators are begging for money as opposed to a real game which would never have a running advert in the corner. Otherwise the game is perfect.

Love the game…but. I play this game quite a bit (ok, a lot, level 13,314) but there are a few frustrating things. #1 - getting the last few images you need to complete a set. Example, currently in World of Adventure, I need two images to complete the set. Over the last 2 days I must have had 70+ opportunities to get them…I got none. Second week in a row. I know you want to make it somewhat challenging but this is ridiculous, it’s frankly demotivating. #2 - Eggs. I need one more animal to complete the silver egg. I had accumulated close to 24,000 gems over a few weeks so that I could try for my last remaining wildlife creature. Didn’t come up a single time. Again, frustrating and demotivating. # 3 - word library. Some word choices show up over and over again, while others hardly ever show up. Plus some actual words are not accepted. Time to expand the size of the word library and improve the randomizer. Love the game, but if the randomizers aren’t improved not sure how much longer I’ll continue to contribute to the game, both play and financially through occasional coin purchases.

Pretty great game. First of all it is a great game but it has a few issues. Oh yeah pls read it all I know that is is going to be long but like yeah I think u need to read it. The first issue is that there are way too many adds!!! You also have to be on Wi-Fi to play it like I wanna play in the car 🚗!!! Anyway it is so hard to get brilliance like after every level we should get more!!! But I do love how u can get the Wordscapes animals 🤩I love 💕 animals!!! I also love that u can get butterflies in the different areas!! But in the eggs u should either get more animals in each egg or cracking open the eggs 🥚 should not cost a many heart gems like you do not get that many after each level!! I love ❤️ the daily puzzles though like whoever thought of that good job 👍🏼!! I mean like u don’t have to fix all of those but even fixing a couple would make the game even more awesome 😎 than it already is!! Thx for reading this and if u don’t go to church ⛪️ pls come to Piney Grove Baptist Church!! Thx again for reading this and I would totally recommend this game to anyone!! God bless u and have a great day!!!

Glitch. The only reason I’m leaving a 1-star review is because of a glitch that happens around the 8.8 million brilliance point mark. Our top player was up to that level. She was signed in with Facebook, and the app would kick her off as soon as she opened it. I tried to contact support for her, but they said they needed to deal with her directly. She couldn’t contact support because the app kept kicking her off! I did some research, and it turns out there have been quite a few people that have been dealing with the same issue. Many of them started over completely. I can’t imagine having to start over after investing that much time. The people I’ve seen that have been dealing with the same thing have been dealing with it for OVER A YEAR. The game is enjoyable. It’s a good way to join a team and forge friendships, but what good is it if you’re dead in the water once you hit a certain level? If this issue has been around for over a year and has yet to be fixed, that’s a red flag. You’re going to lose people. People that have been very loyal to the game for a very long time. They’re fairly good at fixing other issues. I’ll give them credit for that, but this one is a deal breaker. If this issue weren’t still here after over a year, this would easily be a 5-star review.

Love the game. ***Update: I used to play this game all the time, but there are now so many ads it is just not much fun now. They are more frequent, last longer and are harder to make go away without agreeing to something I don’t want. My grandsons still have fun with it, but just put up with the ads. I would gladly pay for an ad free version. It would be worth the price, but if they have an ad free option, I haven’t seen it.*** I have been playing this game for several years, and am happy that it always keeps going. I am on a level in the mid 6,000s now, and my only wish is that there were a way to change levels so that my grandson could play it with me, without losing all my history. Better yet, could you make a version of the game for children just learning to spell? He got this game, but was only able to play it a short while till it started getting too difficult. **update again, he is now in second grade and he and his friend have a lot more fun with it now** But to anyone reading this who is curious about the game, it is really well designed. I don’t pay attention to all the side games, but they look like fun.

Was great to begin with…. I’ve been playing this game for a few years now. It was fun and challenging without being extremely difficult to advance in levels. I even won a few “tournaments”. But after tech support’s latest response, I will be deleting the game. As people have frequently mentioned, the ads are a pain. They pop up immediately after every level and (more frequently lately) prevent a player from receiving stars earned for completing a puzzle. This has happened to me several times now and the only response I get from tech support is a scripted response saying they’re aware of the bug and are working on it. What I find interesting is that players have been complaining about this “bug” for a year! Is the hired help so incompetent that the issue is still not resolved after all this time?!!! I’ve even asked for my earned stars to be rewarded while they work on the problem. I didn’t ask for money to be refunded…just to receive the stars earned for completing a puzzle. All I get is the same scripted response. What is the point of playing a game when you most likely will not get the earned reward! Because tech support has ignored the issue this long and due to their unwillingness to compensate earned stars, I DO NOT recommend downloading this game.

Kill Time, It’s fun minus a few things. It’s a great word game to play, between this and Ruzzle (my favorite), I think the game is pretty fun. I enjoy learning new words and expanding my vocabulary so this helps. The game allows you to guess words without a limit or consequence no matter how many incorrect tries. It also has a built in dictionary so you can look up the definitions of any of the words you find. Cons: You don’t rack up many coins, so you have to be good at guessing or pay for more coins. The hints are so expensive for a game that doesn’t allow you to rake up many coins per round. To earn coins you have to play 16 round to get at most 75 coins. Each round you can earn coins by guessing words that aren’t in the puzzle using the letters given. You get one coin per word; ripoff. I guess it’s a money thing. The hints cost 100, 200, and 300 coins so be mindful of how often you ask for hints, unless you don’t mind buying coins. Some words that are real words, aren’t recognized by the system. Some words you’ve probably never heard of, are definitely a part of the game. So with all that being said, I recommend the game, but it could be better.

Weird pop ups are getting problematic. 5/3/24 I think after a bit, we did buy the game because the ads were too much and we really liked the game. So everything‘s been fine for a long time but recently we’ve been getting ads that interrupt our Wordscapes and open up in a browser screen. They mostly say they’re scanning our computer. That really freaked me out originally until I looked that up and people were saying that’s a scam. But it’s a really annoying scam and I don’t even know if the developer knows this is happening. Usually it just happens once in a while, but today within a half hour. It’s interrupted my gameplay about five times so far. Please stop this!! Original review Just downloaded yesterday afternoon and I’m now up to level 69. I’m working hard to get to 400 coins so I can use them to stop the super annoying ads. You can pay $2.99 for this, but I refuse to spend money on games. I have my husband and a friend playing this now as well. Love figuring out the many word combinations. I get stuck now and then, but then it’s so obvious, I can’t believe I missed it!!

All I Expected and More. So I’ve been playing for around one year. It’s been sort of on and off, like I play one day and not the other. But that’s only because I don’t have time. I really like the fact that it’s one of those games that are REALLY playable, without watching a truckload of ads. It’s just like in the ads, where you connect the letters in the bottom of your screen to make words. The ads are an option, and so far, they are very controlled and don’t just pop up randomly. To people who like relaxing music and something to think about, this game is perfect. And I can’t guarantee that you will 100% enjoy it because everyone has different personalities, but when I am in serious “trauma” and need a distraction, then this is the first app I would go to. There are also other word games by the developer(s) PeopleFun, so if you enjoy this game then I would definitely recommend them to you. Try downloading this game first, and I hope you enjoy it as much as me! Always give good games a chance! God bless all of you and Peace!!

Like the game, but annoying bugs persist. I really enjoy this word game. It is fast paced, challenging, and fun diversion when you have a few extra minutes available. But, although been through numerous updates, a persistent bug that is very annoying continues to latch itself onto the application. Bug is this. You input a word spelled correctly once, assume that the word has posted, and move on. Later, even though you might’ve input that same word combination numerous times, say, for example, the word DEAR, the application leaves you with four spaces. After you have exhausted all other work possibilities you can put in the word DEAR again only to find that this time it posts. Even though you had input that same word before in the rush to speed through all possible letter combinations, it simply does not recognize the input on your first and sometimes second or third attempts. When you are blazing through this, you are not really checking to make sure every single input word is posted. You simply assume it has posted because frankly, you do not want to take time away from the input to verify. This is pretty annoying, especially when you’re trying to beat the clock and improve your ranking. Otherwise really fun game.

No way to earn coins except purchase. Do not like removal of coins for adds watched this allowed players to generate extra coins at 25 versus 1 for helps. You need coins just like hearts to do other things in the game. Mt fortune may give you some coins but is very expensive to play as it can cost way to many and bankrupt your coins with no way to get more unless you win team or individual tourney only1000 for a win not enough. If you do not have all the animals in mt fortune it takes many many to play once again. Do not understand why you removed coins for watching adds as the majority of players need this to help them play better when needed and use there coins to play the other games. Please rethink this and put this feature back in the game. I am a semi skilled player that needs this assistance and am better with coin assistance. Also do not have extra funds to purchase from your store to have coins to work with you have made my game not as fun to play as my rewards of coins is gone. So put this feature back the majority of players would love this to happen.

Long ads. One of the best parts about this game is it only USED to allow short ads. And considering you have an ad to watch after the completion of each and every signal round. It can be a lot. But now it seems they are longer and longer with no way to get out of the ad once it starts. Royal Match is absolutely the worse. 30 second ad, then forced into the App Store then another X to leave. So nearly 38 seconds later you get to finally have another round. When you’re on a team and trying to score as many points as possible and these ads keep popping up over and over again, well it removes the enjoyment. There’s a couple more games running 20 second ads. And even that’s becoming a lot. I would not care if they were this long if we could play 3 or 4 rounds without an ad. Then get a 30 second one. But sometimes the ad runs longer then it takes to complete a round of the actual game. I have submitted a complaint with pictures to the developers previously. And it seemed to help. But I shouldn’t have to continue to play “hall monitor”…. Pretty sure it’s about time to uninstall this game and find a new one. If continuous ads don’t bother you then you’ll love the game. If you want to play a game that makes you think they are shorter ads but they really aren’t, well this isn’t for you.

Misleading. So, in this post-fact world the advert says you’ll learn to read faster and improve your vocabulary. I haven’t seen any evidence that spelling words from a collection of letters helps one read faster. Logic tells me it doesn’t. Perhaps they could cite some studies. My bigger issue is that it’ll improve my vocabulary. That’s hogwash. Central to ALL vocabulary instruction, starting in kindergarten, is definitions. This game does nothing to promote improvement in my usage of the words contained in it. Moreover, the game is all about building words from letters THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW. How does recalling words I’ve seen and used many times before, then provide no definition or context in which said word is used, help my vocabulary skills? I’ve waisted too much time playing this thing, hoping that I’d eventually get to the “lexicon” level which would grant me the amazing fluency and word knowledge advertised. But alas, the game doesn’t appear to have that...it’s basically Boggle that can be played at a banana slug pace. This would be a four star review if they’d at least provide definitions (maybe they do with the paid upgrades?) and actually allow me to practice speed reading. Throw in the parts of speech and you’d have five star reviews all day long.

Beware of fraudulent, scamming ads!!!. The game can be fun if you don't mind being inundated by ads. In the past, I had an ad from the game designers, PeopleFun, Inc., asking for input about different game enhancements. A few days ago, I got another ad asking me to take a survey about Wordscapes with an incentive to receive a free gift. Having experienced a legitimate survey from Wordscapes in the past, I completed this new survey and requested a particular free(?) gift. I had to pay $6.95 S&H with my credit card. However, the confirmation email indicated that my free gift was actually an EBook, not the 11-piece cookware set that was promoted. I, of course, did not click the link to download the Ebook. Less than five minutes later, I received a fraud alert from my credit card company as my card had been used to make a fraudulent purchase. I had to cancel the card. Since PeopleFun, Inc. had obviously not restricted that ad, probably because they don’t preview their ads, I consider them complicit in promoting fraudulent ads just to collect the revenue, even at the expense of stealing a customer’s credit card information. I have written several communications to PeopleFun, Inc. and received lame, defensive replies. Shame on them! I'll NEVER PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN and highly recommend users exercise the highest level of caution.

Can’t Sync Between Devices. The concept of the game is easy enough... and if you have a decent vocabulary, the game itself is too easy. I’m nearly to level 300 and have barely had to pause to think about it. Definitely not challenging so far. My biggest issue is I can’t sync between my phone and iPad. I contacted customer support and was initially pleased by the quick response. Unfortunately, they keep forwarding my responses to another person, so I’ve spoken to 4 different people even though person 2 explained they’d just do a manual reset or something that never happened. Person 4 goes “Are you trying to sync them to the same FB account?” What??? Why would I be confused about it not going to the correct level if it wasn’t even the same account I was syncing them to?? I finally said never mind because no one from their support team has helped me over the past week and apparently they can’t bother to even read what my complaint was in the first place. Yes, they answer the same day, but every day it’s a new person and you’ll be explaining your problem over and over! And it’s emails! They can’t communicate? So all in all, pretty easy game and decent time killer... just can’t get the game to sync between my phone and iPad. 2 stars because the last two emails I got from them are utterly ridiculous. I paid to remove ads and regret the fact their company got my few dollars.

Great game but watch out for scam ads. I have had this game for a few years and love it. Never had any glitches and the puzzles are fun and can be a little challenging, too. However, a specific ad has been popping up lately that I almost fell for but it’s a scam. I’m so disappointed they are allowing scam ads in their app. It’s the one with the supposed LLBean 72 hour sale with clearance items up to 90% off. It looks completely legit with some of the same items I have purchased at LlBean featured. However, I started questioning things when I tried to order a pair of pants that I have orders in the past for my husband with the same name, picture, etc. However, there was no option to choose the pant length which there always is when I buy those pants. I started looking more closely and realized although the ad said LLBean, they left out a letter in the website. I researched further and saw info online about this specific scam on the internet. I’m extremely disappointed this app features scam ads so please don’t click on any if you end up getting this app.

Animal update was final straw. In spite of overly aggressive ads, I kept the game. But this latest update with animals is not Wordscapes or even a word game. Also, the update zeroed out my coin stash (had about 2300 couns) and my other collected bonus items (rockets, targets, and such). Basically it started me over on a game I had no desire to play (animals). Not wanting to start over is the only reason I keep the game. Now I have no reason to keep the game, I finally deleted it. Actually feel pretty good about it. Previous review: Aggressive Ads kill game Ads load when game loads and sometimes game freezes and never finishes loading. Ads load in background while playing and game freezes multiple times for several seconds each. Ads load at end of round and transitions between round to ad or ad to round freezes. And the whole time, my phone heats up and battery drains very, very fast. Sometimes it’s so bad, I double press my home button (iPhone 7) to swipe close the game and nothing happens. I have to do it a couple times before it will open the screen to swipe close. It’s like the processor is busy in a loop and can’t escape. If you go into airplane mode, none of this happens and the game is entirely playable and enjoyable. To be clear, I don’t mind ads for a free app but they should not try to take over my phone and kill my battery.

Weekend Tournament Concerns. I’m a team leader on a team that has played several months in tournaments. I have played this word game for 18 months. Of late in the Tournament there are teams that are getting hard to believe high scores. This leaves me to believe we may have some bits in the system that are making this unfair for us human players. These teams need to be automatically disqualified from playing in these tournaments. Our team is feeling like why should we play if there is so much rampant cheating by other teams. I also think it would be wise to add incentives and rewarding those who have reached high levels in this game. Perhaps giving 100 coins for each 16 games you complete. They definitely become more challenging as you go up higher in levels. The game is fun snd I have made many new friends in my team. I’m always amazed at the number of legitimate words that are not accepted in puzzles or as bonus words. I’m also a little baffled at the editing of communications between team members. There are certain words that are starred out and those words are not offensive or slang words. Thank you for all you do and I hope all of these issues can be resolved or at least addressed so that all can enjoy this game!!

Check your in-app charges!!!! Please read!. READ THIS: Below is my original 5-star review. I’m back to change it to one-star. There’s been a huge money grab from the developers lately—from charging people 2-3Xs for a single in-app purchase, to now making players pay $9.99 per month for ad-free when it used to be a one-time purchase. I’m so disappointed I feel like deleting the app altogether & I would, except I’m a team leader and my team is like family. For those already playing: CHECK YOUR IN-APP CHARGES!!!! I missed the over-charging for a month, so I suspect many don’t check or notice the double and triple charges. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This is the only game that I’ve never gotten tired of playing despite having been playing for over four years now! It helps keep my brain sharp & my mind entertained while also offering an added benefit of an extremely friendly social environment. My team has become like family & that’s priceless! It’s so wonderful to have some place wherein people from all walks of life & a variety of ages can be friends without all the distractions and stress of polarizing issues that abound these days. I also highly recommend paying the one-time charge to go ad-free because it’s totally worth every cent. I actually appreciate that it’s not an ongoing subscription, but only a one-time fee that improves gameplay exponentially! If you want a fun, beneficial for your brain game with awesome people who quickly become your friends-this is the game for you 😁

“Support” is laughable and infuriating!. I have played Wordscapes for years and am a team leader of a successful, always full team. In recent weeks the game glitches have been out of control. This week, the tournament was completely unavailable to me. Just never appeared on my phone. I first sent a support request here through the App Store and was told I had to do that through the game settings. I then did so. After about 12 hours I received a response saying they had been noticing some issues with the tournament but it was all fixed now. It was not. The tournament was as absent from my game as it had been all weekend. I sent a new request explaining this, and after another 12 hours received a different response asking if I had tried restarting my phone. I replied that of course I had tried that, and restarting the app, everything I could think of. All of the ridiculously obvious potential fixes I could apply from my end, I tried. I sent a third request and just received a response from a third person who clearly had never bothered to read the first two requests I sent and he insultingly told me I couldn’t enter the tournament under 9 hours before it ended and that I should have played a round so it would count and enter me in the tournament. As if I didn’t know this as a years long player and team leader. How was I supposed to do that, however, with no tournament to enter. It’s just laughable and insulting.

Disappointing New Updates. This used to be my favorite game. I played it throughout the day between meetings and then in the evening. I HATE the October update with the cat gems. Firstly it has replaced your chance to watch adds and get bonus heart gems. My biggest dislike is that the cat gems bonus opportunity is for an increased percentage and not a set number of extra gems during this time. As you play games the number of gems you get decreases. My bonus opportunity isn’t available until the evening so if I play games during the day the 100% increase is for 0 cat gems, which means I still get 0. So my choices are to either not play during the day or not have a bonus opportunity. Even if I don’t play during the day, during the 2+ hour bonus period I get to the point of receiving 0 cat gems and 0 bonus ones. With the heart gems bonus if you got to 0 you still got the bonus 20 gems per game. The game is intentionally made for you to get 0 while telling you it’s a bonus opportunity. It is not! Plus 100% of 0 is still 0. This used to be a fun relaxing game to play. Now you have to plan out through your day when the best time to play is and you only get one short period of time. Like we don’t have enough stress and planning in our day to lives already. Sadly, I think it’s time to find a new relaxing and fun game to play because this one isn’t worth it anymore.

It’s okay.... It is an okay app so far. Starts off WAY to easy, but I guess that’s probably so that anyone can play, even young kids. It has far too many 3 letter words for my liking. It probably gets harder eventually, but till that point, it is a bit boring for me. I have two other qualms. The first is that there are legal words that the game doesn’t accept. If you do come up with a word that was not chosen for the crossword, it counts as a “bonus word” (which adds to your total to be able to later use for hints, which is a good idea). However, there are valid words that the game doesn’t accept. I can’t remember all of them right now, but some are “alee” and “luged”. They accepted “luge” just fine, so I have no idea why the past tense in “luged” would be an issue. The other main issue that annoys me is the frequency of the ads. I’ve played other games that have ads before, and I understand that’s how free games supplement their income in order to give us the content in the game. However, the frequency of the ads is the issue in this game. By far the most frequent ads I’ve ever seen. Sometimes have to deal with an ad every two minutes or less, if I finish the crossword quickly, which is ridiculous. At least you can X out of the ads fairly quickly. Still, having ads that often is annoying.

Happy birthday, Wordscapes and how I love it❤️‍🔥❤️😍🥳🎂🥳. Happy birthday Wordscapes happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear Wordscapes happy birthday to you after the review so I will love Wordscapes and my brother loves it and it’s fun.

You need it right now because it’s so fun.

Worst word game I have ever played. How in the world this thing has such a good star rating is beyond me. They have to be fake. This game has advertisements after finishing ever level (after you get passed the entry-leveled ones which is done within 3-5 of the game), the advertisements are 30-60 seconds each, half the time the advertisements make you “participate” with it or it will just sit on your screen and will not go back to the word game, the words in the word game are easy (my 12 was able to figure most of them out with ease. Note I stopped at level 94 before quitting this horrible game), and the game has glitches. The last 10 levels I played it wasn’t adding my coins that I had earned from the previous level. I would watch the stupid ad only for it to bring me back to the game ready to play the next level WITHOUT adding the coins I had earned from the previous level I had just completed. I have played a handful of different word games throughout the years and this one by far is the worse one I have ever been on. You spend more time watching the crappy advertisements then actually playing the game, words are more suitable for a middle schooler, and the “theme” of the game is like so many others out there. I really wanted to like this game, but the maker is apparently more concerned about making a quick buck then keeping its players long term.

It’s a good game but…. I love the game. It really makes you think but sometimes it make you think a little to hard. Even on the easier level some words are just really hard to get although the bigger problem lies within the hints, bullseyes, etc. They cost a LOT of coins. By which I mean that the cheapest one (hints) is 100 coins when, per level, you only get a couple based on the amount of bonus words you find. So it’s incredibly frustrating when I don’t have enough coins but can’t get through a level. Now I know that you can watch an ad for a prize but very rarely is a good one. The prize I get the most is 15 coins… and I have to sit through 45-50 second ads (mind you they are mostly Royal Match ads, so it’s watching the same one over and over again) that I don’t get much out of. So your really just watching a bunch of ads. Although that is a frustrating part of this game, the test of it is pretty good. That is the only problem that I can think of right now (and I was just playing this game not 5 minutes ago). I love the way the game works (besides the ads obviously 🤪). I just wish that the helpers would cost much less.

The Amount of Ads!!!!!!. I wrote a previous review that I could not find after about an hour of searching. To make matters worse, I was typing out a new review, got a call and that new one disappeared. When playing the game, if you get a call, text, alarm or close out the game or get off your device for whatever reason without keeping the game open you will definitely get at least one ad. The original review was about how many ads there are and the deception when closing ads. What did I get for my honest review? MORE ADS!!!!!!! I get to choose to watch an ad for extras. I get punished with ads for wanting to play. I get punished with ads while playing! The icing on the cake is THE ADS GET INTERRUPTED WITH ADS!!!! This is ridiculous. Do not waste your time with this game. You will be so disappointed and punished due to the amount of ads just for wanting to play. If you put your device on silent and have sound turned off in the game, guess what??? You still get ads with sound screaming at you and many of them don’t have the option to silence them!!!! Do not play this game at the doctor’s office or courtroom!!!! You will get caught out by the ads. As can be seen by the level I’m on, I’ve played this game a lot. I’m now deleting it because the amount of ads has taken all the joy away from it. You can’t even play the game without intrusive ads!!!

Fun to play but…. I had written a review before, but I decided I wanted to write another one just to update what I think of the game. My friends and I really enjoy playing it together and when I am not with them, this is definitely the game that gets the most of my time when I am on my phone. But honestly, the ads are getting tiring. I had mentioned in my previous review that my mom and I had attempted at buying me the ad free stuff, but it hadn’t worked before. Now, it’s showing a 14 day ad free deal and a 24 hour ad free deal. I don’t know where to go to fully get the game ad free but they are definitely a big problem. Whenever I go out of the app for a second or finish a level, I get an ad. What I have found out is that once you sit through enough ads, they won’t show up as much after finishing a level. It’s still really irritating to have to sit through that though. I’ve also noticed that when you get to a certain level, some of the previous ones are reused. I understand that they can’t just keep thinking up new levels but there are some that I’ve seen four or five times at least. There is some point where it gets a little bit boring. But again, I really enjoy playing the game and it’s a nice way for me to relax.

Almost perfect. To the developers: PLEASE provide a way to choose a different event. For example, I’ve got all the butterflies for the butterfly event that has been coming up for the past several weeks. I don’t have as much incentive to play during the event. But if I defaulted into the current event when it starts, but could change to one of the butterfly events I still need to collect things for, I’d be playing more! Previous review: This game is nearly perfect. I play this one every single day. The tournaments are fun. I’m on a team of great people I would have never “met” without this game. All the little extras that keep getting added keep things interesting. However, there is one VERY annoying thing that needs to be fixed. If it was I’d give this 5 stars. I don’t know if the developers read these or not, but PLEASE put a “Do you want to use the firework” pop up before using it! I cannot tell the number of times I have accidentally flicked my finger over the firework and have it get used. 99% of the time when I DON’T need it, like I am down to my last word and I’m about to spell it. Or at least put it as an option to do this, and if people don’t want it then they can turn it off. Thanks.

Great way to chill if you can handle it’s foibles. I find this an almost addicting daily indulgence. I’ve been playing this for well over a year and when dealing with their standard puzzles, the game can be quite entertaining. Where it falls down is with its vocabulary and it’s other options, like tournaments and daily puzzles. By far the most frustrating is the Daily Puzzle, in which earn points for guessing the correct word, guess them correctly and you’ll earn up to 3 points for one of the four challenges which in turn rewards you with stars for your account. However, there is neither rhyme nor reason to their method. Say you need a 3-letter word with “O” in the middle. With your letter selections it could be NOT, TON, LOT, HOT or TOY. Guess them in the wrong order and your chance of earning all 3 stars that round may be lost. I don’t know why they don’t put the words in alphabetical order. Next is vocabulary. I can’t say how many times I’ve tried a word and it’s not accepted (example: EWER or TOM.) Then there are the words like AAH and AHA or non-words like LITE. Finally there’s the tournaments (where one minute you’re rated #5, you’ll finish a game and drop to 20. Oh, and you better have a cell or network connection, otherwise you’ll play through a round of 16 games and get credit for none of them.

Updated review. I no longer even like this game.. 3/3/22 - I used to love this game, but things have changed to the point where I no longer want to play. As you can see from my previous review, the ads were not frequent, so I was ok with them because the devs deserve to be paid for their time. Since then, the ads have become more frequent over time until they’re now after every puzzle and it’s usually 2 ads. Plus, they have a button where you can watch more ads for extra rewards, so the frequent ads are ridiculous to have to put up with. The mini contests are no longer any fun at all because of the ads. My 5 star review is changing to a 2 because it’s so irritating to play now. The only reason I’m giving them a 2 is because of the quality of the graphics. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t give them any stars. Most game apps like this either bore me with using the same words repeatedly or else they suffocate me with billions of ads every few seconds. This game does neither. The words are varied, even though I disagree with some they buzz on, but it’s probably the fact that I am 60 and use older words than the devs or from wherever they obtain their list. While there are ads, they are not super frequent and they are not horrible. I have not had any issues with this game at all.

Ads are out of control. I play this game all the time. Or I should say I used to. I understand ads help pay the bills. Programmers need to eat, too. However, ads have gotten more and more instrusive as time goes on. They are now on a timer. Regardless of whether you’re in the middle of a puzzle or not. Forming your last word to complete the level? Ad. Trying to get that extra couple of stars by beating the timer? Ad. Close and reset the game? 10 second in….ad. Finish a puzzle? Ad. Start a puzzle? Ad. They were tolerable being before or after a puzzle. I could at least close and restart the game getting me back to the puzzles quicker. But during a puzzle with no warning? No hint at all that it’s coming? Intrusive and frustrating. Making ads not last so long (5 seconds at MOST) and NOT HAVING TO SIT/TAP-CLOSE THROUGH 3 LAYERS OF THEM would have been better. Some ads even force open the App store or Safari (regardless of if you close them or not) opening up all kinds of channels for viruses, spam hacks, or accidental purchases. How am I supposed to know this “advertiser’s” website is trustworthy? I’ve played this game for a couole years now as a form of relaxing and zoning out but not anymore. I can’t even do THAT without getting begged and hounded for money at every single turn. I’m not giving my money to a company who resorts to these kinds of measures, even if that means paying removes the ads. Ridiculous. I can’t recommend this game to anyone. Deleted.

NEVER DELETE THE APP!! For years it was 5 stars but…. I want to give it 5 stars my wife and me over being boyfriend and girlfriend into fiancés into marriage for our entire relationship this game was our nightly routine and we LOVED it even all the additions of the animals etc became inside jokes and fun for us…. But thanks to apple out dating my phone I couldn’t take pictures on our honeymoon not enough space so I erased all my apps thinking I’ll just re download them after our trip… after doing so everything is gone… we lost all of our coins gems portraits animals hints rockets bullseyes bees EVERYTHING back to level one. There is no way to link and access everything again I’ve tried. Messaged support multiple times and had one response that said they might be able to help us yet days later I haven’t gotten a response again… from being our favorite app as it became a core memory for us to now not even wanting to open it again I think I need to just accept and delete it cause now it’s just sad and disappointing since we were easily past 1k in levels etc.. if you never delete it this app was 5 stars enjoy it. But if you lose it all it’s not worth going back after playing for years.

Drains battery and loaded with ads. I’ve been playing Wordscapes for a while now and it has been one of the most Christina experiences I’ve had on a free-to-play mobile game. While the core game is fun and very addicting, all of the extra materials and timed events create clutter that distracts the player and makes it hard to navigate at points. It may also be a reason why the game drains your phone’s battery very quickly. An average of 30 minutes playing this game can drain your battery from 100% to about 42%. (I’ve played this game on other phones to verify this.) The game is also riddled with ads everywhere you go. After every level, there is an annoying pop up ad that is usually hard to skip or exploits the user. There’s no way you should pay $10 to remove the ads, nor do any of the micro transactions (of which there are plenty of) are worthwhile for a common user and also create a problem with clutter. If the core game was perhaps simply available for $1.99 with no ads or any additional bells and whistles, it would probably be a fun time, even if it might still drain your phone’s battery. Fun game, bad experience.

Long time player disappointed. Been playing casually for years. Only recently begun to take an interest in the tourney feature. The team feature is fun playing with other players. And hearing their gripes about the game. About how some players seem to be under testing with new game features. The latest was Star Rush. Which I don’t really see the point of with getting bonus points if you complete a level within 3 mins. I think most players can complete a level within that period. So no real change from the regular play. Unless you take your time and those players are at a disadvantage. Or something comes up and you forget to close out of your screen. So lose bonus points accrued unless you pay coins to not lose them. Days when there is not a tourney you have theme feature to collect portraits. For instance was the ‘Trick or Treat’ theme. Where you collect portraits with a Halloween theme. And what I heard from other players, it’s nearly impossible to obtain all the portrait from the set. The only feature I’m able to complete a collection are the butterflies but most regular players can complete collections. And really the only I was able to complete. I’ve yet to complete any portrait sets. I know players with millions in brilliance and they haven’t competed a set. So they doesn’t bode well for players like me. I still play but mostly for the tourneys and the team I joined.

Bugs. This game is a great game except for the fact that they continually have a bug they can’t seem to fix. I have been playing for several year. The ongoing issue is with their daily puzzle. You play a daily puzzle and you earn points everyday. At the end of the month you have the opportunity to complete 4 squares, each with a picture. The problem is, you only have 30 days to complete the puzzle and it depends on how many points you earn. The bug they continually have issues with does not give you your points. If you earn all three points for the day, the game may only give you one point, maybe two, you never know. This affects your final points, so although you completed the puzzle and earned the points, you don’t get the credit, resulting in an incomplete puzzle at the end of the month. You can send a report to the “Team” but that doesn’t do much good. You get the same response every time. “We are aware of the problem and we will fix it in a future update.” Unfortunately, it’s an ongoing problem. Like this month, July 2023, it’s been the whole month. It was doing the same thing in June. If they could actually squash that bug, it would be great. If your going to spend your time playing their game, they should at least make sure it’s working correctly.

I really appreciate this game a lot. I love this game and play it often to relax and feel like I am improving my spelling and vocabulary. My favorite part is the beautiful artwork and photos. I genuinely appreciate how it functions in low Wi-Fi environments. This game made waiting in doctors offices so much more bearable. My only complaint are the ads are really annoying and I genuinely hate several of the games that have scenes that can be rather triggering of traumatic events in people’s lives. Worse still is that this isn’t representative of the actual game play. I appreciate the ads that are just simple, short and easy to exit. Many ads are nearly impossible to X out of or the have multiple X (close) on the screen and you have to figure out which one is real. And then there’s the ads that are counting down to hold you hostage. Why do they think that will make me want to support their business? I understand the ads fund the game designers and programmers and I genuinely appreciate them, but I really don’t want to deal with abusive ads and be asked to pay for hints… but the hints are always helpful!

Fun and intriguing…if you have some spare dollars. I really like this game, and even though I’ve only had it for a few days I can’t stop playing it. As someone with ADHD this is a really good focus her, and gets my brain working. There have been some words that I didn’t know where words, and there’s also a lot of things that should be counted as words like the names of countries, so that is a bit annoying. Plus you earn coins by completing the daily puzzles and crossword’s, but you can’t use those coins to buy things in the store that will help you out. You can use them to buy a helper thing when you are playing the game, but if you save up a lot of them you just have to do that rather than using them to buy spelling bees or some thing.I also don’t like that every time you complete a level, 25 coins go into a piggy bank that you then have to spend $1.99 on to get the coins when you reach the 1440 Mark. I feel like this game won’t be very fun if you aren’t willing to spend a few dollars, which is why I gave it four stars instead of five. But overall it’s a fun game that doesn’t get old and also challenges you to think.

Don’t play this game using multiple devices!. I’m just so fed up with the errors in this game! Why can’t they figure out how to keep the coins and helps consistent across devices like other games are able to do? It’s been so frustrating since I had to delete the game from my iPad and reinstall it. Support was actually very good initially in helping me get my stuff back, but when they tried to correct it for me, that’s when it went haywire on me. They gave me too much, so I was being nice and honest by asking them to correct it, but then they ended up deducting from the wrong device, leaving me with a measly 17 coins while the other device had over 2M coins! Does that even make sense?!? I’ve been asking them to fix it, even shutting off my phone every night, but now suddenly, they’ve gone all silent on me and not responded to a single one of my requests! The guy Kenny told me he had to hurry up and fix it for me since he could only do a minimum amount of adjustments, but is it my fault he messed it up so badly? It’s so frustrating, so I don’t even want to play anymore, except to help out my team because they’re a great group of people. I would highly recommend NOT PLAYING THIS GAME ON MULTIPLE DEVICES AND DEFINITELY DON’T DELETE IT WITHOUT TAKING A PIC OF WHAT YOU HAD. So frustrating!

3, maybe 4 stars. Some days I’d rate this game 5 stars, other days 1 star. I love word games, and this checks all the boxes. It has been a lot of fun. I’d recommend enjoying this game for a year, and then moving on. Depending on how often you play the puzzles will start repeating at about a year in. I get very competitive for tournament weekends but after about a year and a half I had an epiphany. As the puzzles started repeating for me, and I am seeing my score at around 500k points I am looking, and seeing other people well into the millions. So basically this game is filled with people happily playing the same puzzles over and over again and being really competitive about it. If my puzzles are repeating heavily at 700k then how many times have people played the same puzzle at 5 million? On a side note the ads for this game can be maddening. If you choose to watch ads (you don’t have to) to get help features you’ll be forced to watch ads for the same annoying 3 games over and over again. If I see another ad for royal match I might have to stomp on my own phone. With that frustration shared, I am out. I had a lot of fun for a year. Then frustration for about 6 months. Time for me to move on. You should too, but play for a while. You’ll enjoy it.

some suggestions for the developers. I really enjoy playing this game and I have a team which I am the leader of. I have a few suggestions that I have to help out the leaders of the teams. First it would be great to be able to go into my team member list and be able to see which members are currently online and which ones are idle. You could put beside their name where it would say online or idle with how long, for example it would say idle 3 minutes or idle 1 week. This way we as leaders will know who is an active player and who isn’t. Another suggestion is to give us the ability to promote players of our choosing to become coleaders where they can have the ability to kick/ban people from the team or if the team is set to invite only they can accept a player to join the team when the leader is absent. It would also be nice to see like a separate team message board where the leaders can post team rules and expectations or other notes to the team so the players will know what to expect by reading them and that the leader doesn’t have to keep typing it over and over again. I really hope you guys put these ideas into the game to help out the teams and the leaders.

Great game, but…. I have been playing Wordscapes for 5+ years now and it’s been my favorite go-to game to pass time while still using my brain. It’s been great watching this game grow into what it have become, from the pet system, to earning pfps, the mount rush, all of it, I really like it. However, there are certain things that really take away from the motivation to play and enjoyability. One being the incessant number of ads in the game. I purchased the no-ads feature, but the sheer number of ads you get for completing a level or tapping out of the game for a quick second are ridiculous. I get that everyone has their money to make but come on you guys. My other issue with this game is that it seems like it is intentionally keeping you from earning top grade rewards. I do the Wednesday-Thursday challenge of earning profile pictures and the drop rates for certain pictures are way too low. There are two sections I’ve been grinding for over a year now because I am only missing one part for the picture and it won’t drop. I just went through 35 boxes, and it would not drop that one missing picture and that is frustrating. I have the same issue with mount rush, but I won’t get into that. Other than that, the game is fantastic. As a long time player, I hope you guys see this review and really take it into consideration. Thank you!

Very fun, but one thing I want to give advice about.... So far, this was the best word game I ever played. You can make words to complete puzzles, get coins, or just fiddle around with the letters until you make some words. You can also use the video on the Earn Free Coins section to get 25 coins per vid if u get stuck, but there's one thing I want to advice about.....whatever you do, DO NOT use the surveys to get free coins. When I checked it out I found out that whoever runs this survey thing is really just trying to get a hold of your personal information. Even the 15 question survey is trying to get personal info from people. That's why I did not even complete the 15 question survey and I'm glad I did not summit it. If you want to get free coins, I would recommend you just do the videos for coins and not mess with the offers or the surveys. I don't know what company runs this game but they might have someone like hackers running this survey thing so don't use the survey thing whatever you do or they may get your personal information. Otherwise, this is a really great game.

Great word game!. Edit: Unfortunately I need to rescind my comments about not having PG-13 words. Starting in the 200’s levels, there are words I hope most children under ten years old would not know. Not curse words, but nouns and verbs that are more adult in content. Disappointing as it could be a great game for elementary and middle school kids to help with spelling and vocabulary. -——————————————————— Great word game. Gets progressively harder over time but not each more than the last, so there are little respites of easier ones between the hard ones. Uses everyday as well as more obscure words. I like that you can see definitions and uses for words by tapping on them. I also like that you get bonus points for words that you make that aren’t on that particular puzzle. I have more respect for this game compared to others because they don’t ever put PG-13 words in the puzzle, so it’s appropriate for kiddos or tweens too. The tournaments and challenges are fun to have if you’re into that, but also not too in your face if you’re not. The ads are the only bummer, but not unbearable. Overall really happy with this word game!

Fun game. Great game challenging, fun and addictive. I would give it more stars but feel it’s not evenly played. My wife has been playing for months and her hints are 50 coins, I’ve been playing a couple months and enjoy the game but the hints on mine are 100 coins,the target hints 200 and rocket blast 300 totally bogus pricing. Before you say she’s at higher score(she is) I have a daughter, granddaughter and soninlaw that all signed up after I did and 2 of them at my recommendation and wait for it...... their hints are 50,100,150 coins. I’m not the only one this has happened to in the support section there are other complaints of the same thing. I sent an email to them with questions about this and I will say they answered rather quickly but with a crazy response of “we’re trying different pricing to see which we decide on.” What I got out of the answer was we think we can gouge some folks on the pricing so when they buy coins they get less benefit for the money they pay. I started with 2 stars but as I wrote this I down graded it go 1. Get your act together and I’ll revisit this review!!!!! Have talked to them thru emails 3 different times and each time it’s the same, ”we’re trying different pricing to see where it levels out, hmmm I wonder if they’ll refund the folks that bought hints and removed ads at the higher prices when they level out, hmmm NOT!!!!!

This game is awesome, personally I love it!. I think you should download some things but here's some things you should know first. I'm on level 367 at the moment and I've only been playing for 6 months! You will watch ads which is annoying, there is a no ads pass for 9.99 but I'll tell you a way where you can kind of do it for free, whenever an ad pops up just swipe out of the app then reopen it wordscapes saves your progress so it won't be lost. But as you get on higher levels it starts getting a bit harder you will want to watch ads to get coins or free bonuses when you first start the game you get 1000 something coins but I'm going to say this now DO NOT USE IT unless it's a very hard word and you want to get something to figure it out, it's good that you get free coins because when you first start you won't be watching ads to get 50 coins for free. If you're going to use your 1000 coins I suggest getting a bullseye for 200 or if you're almost done with the word puzzle get a hint for 100 and if you're really stuck get a firecracker for 300. Personally, I love wordscapes and I'm sure you will love it too!

Warning! Will play sound when on silent, and scammy ad practices. The game is a lot of fun, but it will randomly play emergency beeping, even if your volume is all the way down or off completely. The first couple of times, I thought it was a fluke, or maybe caused by something else, but after a few times I searched online, and sure enough, it’s a common complaint for Wordscapes specifically. I have been playing every day for the past few years, and it has only happened 4 or 5 times, so take that for what it’s worth, but it’s literally max volume beeps and is very jarring, especially if you’re playing in an environment that requires quiet. Also, even if you have your volume down and phone set to silent, it forces sound on for some ads. You can mute it on the ad itself once it starts playing, but not before it starts blaring at full volume. Lastly, I understand the need for ads in a free game, but the majority of the ads are designed so that you accidentally click through to the sponsor. In the best scenarios, the X is so small that you click next to it, opening the sponsor page. In the worst cases, they literally put a fake X on the ad. My guess is they get paid by the clickthrough. Dishonest marketing.

Wordscapes Gliche. Good app but there is a glitch. I use two iPhones and have logged in on both. When I play Wordscapes the second phone does not “remember” what was done in the first. Brilliance score may be different, you can do the the daily puzzle a second time, and and you can collect tournament winnings twice. And you end up playing the same word games. Also the portrait count is different on the second phone. portraits won on one do not appear on the other. Feel free to contact me. Cheers Mick

Perfect for word puzzlers!. This is one of the few games around that is still really easy to play without having to buy anything. Yes there’s a few ads to glaze over, but as someone who rates their word skills as pretty high, I am surprised at how hard the puzzles can be at times. There’s no variation for the core game, it’s the same puzzle format every time, so it can feel a bit repetitious, but sometimes you just want a familiar format, and there are a couple of side game options. It’s the perfect balance of being very low key & easy to play, but challenging enough to keep you interested.

Fun at first but getting repetitive. Enjoyed the game for the first few weeks but finding in not enjoying it as much. So many three and four letter words repeated over and over again. There seems to be a limit to the vocabulary. So many vague words’ that nobody has heard of and lots of slang and words that aren’t proper words. I mean really? Duh? Aha? Aah? They aren’t words. And what happened to the rest of the English language? Did you get a half price special on words? Only bought half of the language? Seriously guys it’s getting monotonous. Up to 5000 games and still getting 5 second 5 word games. I think the developers and getting lazy so they can keep adding new levels. Losing the desire to play

Game is Great - Up until I got charged $20. The game is absolutely great. Very accommodating and even has a dictionary for you to learn the words. However, the Ads were just plain annoying after level 80 because that’s when you want to get as many stars as possible for the competition. So this is where I thought I’d fork out $5 to pay for no Ads... but then I kept getting declined and declined, even though I had $10 on my card to make the payment... so I thought okay I’ll put $50 on the card, ONLY TO BE CHARGES $20!!!!! Why am I forming out an extra $15?! Please explain and please reimburse me for my $15 when you advertise in your In-Game store that it’s only $5.

Great game but no customer support. This is a great game and I enjoy participating in the team tourneys. I happen to be in an awesome team with the best of human beings as members. However, recently there has been a lot of issues with the game such as team scores not being recorded accurately. My team score on my app is completely different and way less than on other team members. This has been going on for weeks and customer support is really bad with the same generic messages every single time and no results. We lost so many team members because of this issue as it takes the joy out of playing when your score is not correctly reflecting in your team score.

Just ok. While this is good to scramble your brain for words you know (or may not know) and thus keeping it “fit” there are also significant limitations, such as the limit of words this app knows about. How come “liter” (the AE version) is accepted and “litre” (the BE version) isn’t. There are many other words this app doesn’t know about and that’s a real deficiency (eg. it knows “plunge” but not “pungle”). Instead it knows useless words like “doh”, “aah” and “nah” that border on usefulness and dictionary entries. It would be good if the devs would pay better attention to that and scramble the dictionaries of the world. Another detractor is the amount of ads and their length. There are not just on-screen Google ads, but also repetitive movie length ads between almost each level. For an app that doesn’t really require much development work this ad cashing in seems exaggerated. Lastly, the tournament (if you don’t want to miss out on some bonus coins) becomes a real frantic race as the clocks ticks. While it’s good for user engagement for the business it destroys some of the game play with people (myself included) using available word lists to keep up. I for my part had enough of this and say good bye to the game. There also seem to be a couple of variations on the same game with a very similar layout, slightly different name but effectively the same game. Raking in the money…

So badly optimised that it’s unplayable. Even if you can get past the copious obnoxious ads for borderline-scams, the game is now so badly optimised for even my iPhone 7 that it freezes constantly. I’ll try to enter a word and it will either freeze mid-swipe or crash. An absolute drain on my battery too. Of course the ads run perfect each time, so it’s clear where the priorities lie. Good luck trying to press the pixel-sized “X” without launching the App Store or website because the game assumes you want to view it after accidentally pressing a space a millimeter to the side. Edit: Oh look, the app’s developers want me to do their job for them and identify which ads are the obvious scams. Yeah, sure, I’ll totally install this badly optimised mess and point out the painfully obvious when it isn’t freezing constantly. Sounds like a great use of my time.

If it’s not one thing it’s the other. EDITED; the final fantasy ads haven’t shown up since they emailed me about it but now i have a whole bunch of other ads that are now scrollable and won’t show anywhere to close them. Also the ads that are constantly at the bottom of the screen now pop up mid play a good 25 times in a row and doesn’t stop even if I close the game. Force quit solves nothing. Just got to wait it out until it stops spazzing out. Most times I play now, the game freezes and absolutely nothing shows up on my screen and am forced to close it. Happens at least twice a day. The music makes my speakers vibrate and go weird and it is the only app on my phone that does it. Sometimes the backgrounds for the links won’t show and looks weird and is difficult to press AND half the words that are actually in the dictionary aren’t considered real words, yet stupid shortened versions, or nicknames of words are. Did the person that made this game actually go to school? ORIGINAL; Can’t X out of the final fantasy ads and are forced to close the entire game because of them. I enjoy this game but ff ads are enough to delete it. I did already review this game but it seems to have been deleted?! Smh.

Very fun and educational. I love this game it’s for all ages keeps you entertained with all the pets and levels and portraits and everything. It gives you definitions of all the words you find teaching you new things everyday. Has many fun events like their star tournament and team tournaments where you can join a team helping you interact with other players. I recommend this game for everyone, play it when you are bored it just a fun side thing. The only bad this about it is that after every level you complete, an ad comes up, although it is short it is very annoying at times but you can always pay for it to go away but it’s a lot.

An amazing game I totally recommend. Wordscapes is a fun, challenging and all around amazing game which I recommend to everyone. Each puzzle is different and by playing I feel so much smarter already! You discover so many words and improve your English skills due to the puzzling levels requiring you to think both logically and creatively!!!!!💖 There are literally NO flaws within the game itself, and the only complaint I would have is the fact that there are quite a few adds. But other than that wordscapes is probably one of my favourite games in the App Store it’s totally free so there’s no reason NOT to try it out!!!!

I want to give this 5 stars but.... There are a lot of words that the game doesn't recognise. It's really frustrating, especially when you've got challenging letters! Some of it I can allow as being colloquial terms where I live (so may not be valid), but others seem to me to be common words. This is my biggest complaint, since this game is literally about creating words! It's also annoying because it doesn't accept names (like Rome), but accepts words based off of names (like Romans). The other thing I find annoying is when you've got multiple words you're wanting to spell, but you've just filled in the last word slot so you automatically finish the level. I can accept this as a challenge of the game, but it is nonetheless frustrating! Aside from these things, I'm finding this game really enjoyable! It's exactly what I've been looking for awhile now!

It’s great.... Except for the fact that the music remains the same throughout. It’d be nice to have different music for different sections, so Forest could have a soft background sound of rain with some forest-y music over it (preferably with a woodwind instrument; they tend to be evocative of rainforests), and Sky could have some twinkly music or something (maybe using chimes; they tend to sound “twinkly”). What I love about this is it’s backgrounds. They’re all gorgeous, and I love that the colour of the filled in word changes according to the sections. It does, however, get a little boring looking at the same shade the whole time, so maybe keep the same colour but change the shades that appear (e.g. Forest could go from a light, almost lime green colour to a deep, forest green colour by the time you’re done with the section). Alternatively, use different colours progressively as levels are completed, but colours that correspond to that level (e.g. Sky could have green that fades into blue that fades into purple that fades into magenta...(think the way the Auroras work or think of the paintings of the cosmos and the colour schemes and colour fades from there)). Other than that, this game is great for making me realise I don’t actually know as much English as I thought and then teaching me the stuff I didn’t know.

please give me my life back. i am dangerously obsessed with this game. i start giggling and twirling my hair when i see a wordscapes notification 💀💀💀 i have wordscapes as my background because it is the only thing that sparks so much joy in my life. I connect the little words and i feel complete and overall joyous. to anybody wondering if they should download this game: although i adore it more than anything in this life, i dont suggest it. do you know how embarrassing it is to pull out WORDSCAPES in a social gathering to get my fix?Wordscapes is truly a marvel of modern science and if this is ever taken off the app store i will riot. this game is my everything, and as much as i desperately want my old life back, i cannot imagine a future without wordscapes.

Addictive but small probs. Highly addictive while educational Is however annoying and frustrating when words are identified as ‘bonus’ words but later appear as game words and so you can sometimes enter the same word and have it rejected on three attempts, only for it to be accepted on the fourth, but doesn’t happen too often. Also VERY annoying that even with sound turned off on the game, the sound reactivates on the adds with very annoying music. As expected, uses an American dictionary and so spelling is sometimes surprising however is still an enjoyable, educational and interesting game.

Surprisingly addictive. I saw this add so many times , and thought it seemed pointless and annoying as a game. But after trying it out it’s actually really good, very challenging. My children 6 and 9 even enjoy playing with me. One thing that is frustrating is that you have to pay for hints , sometimes I’ll be stuck , or the kids will be , and there seems no way to move forward except for paying to get a hint. Sometimes it’s just a hard level or it’s kids playing , and aside from not wanting to waste money, I don’t want to teach them that when things are hard in life you pay money and get help. I would like to see a kid version of the game , with some smaller words etc , my kids would love it.

Good game, Destroyed by ads. I have liked this game for years and played it regularly but as a long time user I have seen how the ads have gotten progressively worse. Notice all the favourable reviews are 4 years old and the unfavourable ones are recent. I understand a free game needs to fund this with ads, but the way they go about it is wrong and deceitful. And despite assurances they are working to fix them, empty promises. Anyone who designs ads which have a x to close them but it is a ruse and opens up the ad is highly unethical. Sometimes I have had to close the app entirely and reopen the game to get out of an ad that won’t close after a few minutes. I am spending more time navigating the ads than playing the game. I am sure the advertisers would be appalled to know all the hits you tell them they get off your platform are not legitimate customers but frustrated gamers trying to exit the ad but tricked into opening them.

Annoying!. I have had this app for a long time and I used to enjoy it. Now when you complete a level you get 1 or 2 coins, to get a hint you need 100 coins, or you can pay for coins (get the picture)coins get taken from your tally for no real reason, and there is a thing called star rush which is annoying and completely confusing and the ads are excruciating, you don’t just have to watch the ads you then have click through 4 or 5 screens before it disappears and the x is so far to the right of the screen it sometimes thinks you have clicked the ad to get it and then you have to start the clicking through screens again. This game is completely ruined I will be looking for a different option.

Wordscapes review. Wordscapes is a fun and addictive game for anyone with high vocabulary or wishing for higher. I enjoy the different levels and I am beginning to like it more and more every day. The only reasons I didn’t give it a five star rating is because: 1. It needs a bit more variety and we have to unlock EVERYTHING. I agree that we should have to unlock some things, but not all. 2. We seem to only ever get small amounts of coins for completing levels or areas, yet somehow, the hints are 100 coins each!! So either we receive more coins or the hints are worth less and then I will be happy. So to sum up this great game to challenge the mind and your vocabulary, I absolutely love it but their are some things to think about, take consideration, and possibly change, to make this game better.

Asset stealer. Everyone knows the value of personal data. This game is designed to steal yours and your contact’s data. Don’t be fooled. The pretence is that you get free coins for... then once you give your data or your friend’s details, or money, it THEN provides extra terms that you’d probably NOT agree to (but it’s too late) or, it’s in the hands of a 3rd party to do a whole heap of stuff before you’d get any coins. Don’t be a fool. If you love this sort of game I strongly suggest trying a reputable developer not one that is in the game of stealing data and money under false pretences. I asked directly about this theft, funny, no response. If they want to cheat, here are cheat notes, to get around ads open a game when the ads starts, just double click on home button & reopen again and the game will start without having to sit through very long ads.

OMG!…. OMG, this is literally the BEST GAME ON EARTH. No Joke. It is soooooooooo amazing, the backdrops, the graphics, the levels, the design. Every aspect is so good it’s an absolute must have for everyone on earth! I luv it and I only just got it today! It’s incredible. Thank you whoever designed this incredible, interesting and amazing game. It also really helps you learn new words, even though it can be tricky at times. I know there’s a few ads every now and then, but still… I’M IN LUV WITH THIS GAME! EVERYONE WHO READS THIS MUST DOWNLOAD THIS AMAZING GAME! I know it says 12+ but it is only because it can be hard, because some of the words are tricky to guess. I mean, I’m under 12 and I find the tricky aspect of the game good, because it means you really want to pass that level! If ur reading this, I repeat YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THIS GAME! Thank you. (Bow bow, applause)

Ads kill this game. I understand the developers need us to make purchases or watch ads to play but watching an ad between virtually every level that takes longer than the game itself kills any enjoyment. Free play is meant to get you interested enough to keep playing, and paying, but at this rate, I can’t even play enough to want to keep playing. So many ads aren’t clickable either and freeze for minutes. The only way forward is to close the app completely and then reopen. ANNOYING doesn’t even cover how frustrating the ads make this game. So I won’t be continuing to sample this game. It could be fun but too many ads killed any possible fun.

it’s fun, addictive, relaxing I supposed.. B U T. only one thing I cannot comprehend, is that thig called “bonus mystery silly word”, which is separate from the rest of the puzzle. I’m on level 104, i’m upset a little bit, why? not only, you can get a hint or whatever, but because I have a total of 10 bonus words, that’s (10 already, for fries sake) that I already guessed and not in puzzle. but I still cannot guess your “mystery word”?? I get it, you need to forced the player to spend the gold coins, then eventually spend real money, I cleary understand that part, it’s all business in the end. but, I repeat. I have already 10 guess, and still can’t guess the word. c’mon. just be fair and try to fixed this thing. because if you don’t, there’s no used of installing this game, and you can’t move to the next stage. hope you read this, thank you

Message to the developer, you did an awesome job with this one!. I'm having so much fun playing this game and I've even picked up a few new words which I can now incorporate into everyday conversations, I attribute that to the fact that I'm actually able to see the meaning of each word. I play this game whenever I'm waiting in line somewhere or if I'm early to an appointment. It helps pass the time for sure! On the flip side, I also play when I’m struggling to switch my brain off long enough to fall asleep. It calms me down at night with the soft music and sound effects. I’m ready to pass out now after only playing a few short games. One of my fav top 3 apps! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fun but idiosyncratic. Great time passer but words are at random - dozens of real words don’t register (eg creel, llama, ewer, carl, dux - to name just a few), lots of weird archaic terms, random abbreviations (sis, bro, doc, grad, ads, abs, coed) and prefixes (pro, pre, doc, anti, per) some foreign words and Greek letters are in some are out, obscure compound words in (my fave was uptick) but genuine combos out, some cultural spelling oddities add challenge - especially when both US and British spellings might be included in the same puzzle. But apart from that, it is fun and keeps the brain agile. Love the animals esp wolf, fox zebra, hate the weekend comp - esp when u get several 4 stars in a row but don’t change order.

Master mind blowout. This is the best game ever!! I first saw my younger cousin playing this game and ever since I downloaded I have been addicted. If you are looking for something that makes you think, will keep you up all night and is age appropriate then this is definitely it.. Each level gets harder and harder and the words get longer and longer as you go. There are awesome daily challenges for you to do and the best things about it is that if you get out of the puzzle to start a new one and then you decided to go back to the other puzzle, your progress will not be lost! In my opinion this is one of the best games ever and I highly recommend it!😇

Good app with one glitch. I was enjoying playing this word game until I reached level 259 when I chose to save my bonus stars and was taken to a screen to purchase more coins. I had already paid for the ads to be removed and wasn’t interested in spending more but there was no way of exiting the shopping screen. Twice I deleted the app and reinstalled it which allowed me to play a couple more games but ultimately getting to the shopping screen again with no option to exit. Wondering if this is a glitch or intentional. If it’s a glitch and it is fixed I would rate it 5 stars. In not fixed, probably will delete and not play it again.

I love wordscapes. Wordscapes is a very fun and educational game that helped me with my spelling, rhyming, and comprehension of some difficult words. I’ve been playing it with my dad for about 2-3 years now, and every time I play I learn something new. Whether it’s a new word, or the correct spelling of a word, every single level I pass has taught me something I didn’t know before playing. Wordscapes is a great way to teach people how to expand their vocabulary, and learn new things. To help people’s spelling like it did with me. And most importantly to be a fun game that everyone loves. So I hope after reading this review, you’ll download wordscapes, and love it as much as I do. Thank you Wordscapes.

A good version of many many in the genre.. This is a good game version of many many many similar versions in this word game genre (Word Calm, Word Games etc etc). All are clones of each other in regard to set up, game physics etc. I wonder which was the originator, & how the others get away with blatantly copying it without facing legal action (copy right), or maybe they are all owned & run from one large “parent” company! I like this game but find Word Calm just a little bit better, to me it feels more polished. That said I play both! I love word games, have fun & exercise the grey matter. I play many from Scrabble to Word Searches. I find the vast vast majority of all theses games are based on very American vocabularies. So for the rest of us from the other English speaking countries of the world, you often have to think like you’re from the USA! If you’re into word games this game is worth having along with all the others.

Amazing game needs some work. Wordscapes is an amazing game just like others have said. But there is something I need to say. When you complete a level or daily challenge you can’t go back and see what it is, wordscapes uses interesting words that I don’t know and I play it without wifi so I can’t look up the definitions of the words... if only I could go back and do it when I am on wifi. Or sometimes people I know need some help with it but I can’t look back on the levels or daily challenges I’ve done. It is a pretty good game apart from that and the music being the same. Thanks for reading

Wordscapes - very good but tech issues. I really enjoy playing Wordscapes but there are a few shortcomings - quite frequently the whole thing just freezes and all you can do is to log out and come back later; the cost of the 'hints' is too high and designed to force using actual cash to buy a small amount of game coins; the dreadful music. At least you can just turn off the music. I'm not spending any more on the game as I find that if I get stuck trying to find a word, l just leave and come back to it later - the word becomes obvious then, and I can progress. This game is great for crossword/Scrabble addicts. When they fix the game glitches, I'll give it 5 stars.

All the ads you can eat. Filled with annoying ads. And I’m not paying $15 to remove the ads. Yuk I went and reviewed one of the advertised games and gave them a terrible rating for making me sit through their ad repeatedly, expecting me to interact. If I want to play a game, I’ll just download it. Yuk. Apple needs to ban these stupid ads that need interaction. They also need to make the X easier to click on. Not the fault of Wordscapes I suppose, but you’re partly responsible for having me sit through more ads than gameplay. Yuk I also hate games that give you coins/gems and then forces you to use them. If you have a modal, there should be a way to cancel it. Yuk. Deleted. Now I need a shower. Update: Yes I understand that you need ads to pay the developers. But if you annoy your player base to the point they’d rather just delete the game, you’re getting nothing from them, and to deal with the smaller player base you then have to introduce more ads. Thanks for your reply.

Love it because i’m sick and this is the only game to to calm me down. Even my mum loves it and I am sick. This is amazing because it helped me calm down and it has lots of levels and I love it and so relaxing. I’ve gone through every level and now I’m on 21 and I’m getting better at words in my writing at school and I can learn more words so then I can write in. My teacher will be very impressed. My mum loves it too because she helps me find words and I can to the next level and I really love this app because it is very amazing. I wish there were more apps like this so then I could play and calm downI think I might go to level 100 if there is a level 100 ha ha it’s so amazing. I just love that I can’t stop talking about it and I can’t stop playing on my mum’s phone and it’s so addicting

More levels and a better dictionary required. I love this game but the one thing that seriously irritates me is the limited range of words that can be accepted. You accept words and slang like “thru” but won’t accept actual words like “lisle”. Unsure why you’re using wiktionary as your basis instead of something like scrabble dictionary or an actual proper dictionary. As I’m fast approaching the end, would appreciate more levels being added and different words, I’m seeing recycled words and puzzles and scapes as well which is disappointing. Good things about this game: do love the music, love the concept (combo of boggle and crosswords), love coins per bonus word, love the tournaments, love the shuffle being free.

This is great but pls tead. First of all this is a great game there is no. Ads so i dont know whats wrong bc im level 59 and i have no ads so far. BUT there is 1 problem and that is its to easy its so easy i mean its fun but sometimes its just to easy u know? I like it easy but some levels are too easy pls make them easy but not too easy apart from that its a great game i get bored often and this helps with boredom. BORED? Play this game ( unless u cant bc u cant go on ur device or something). THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING ( COPIED ) GAME 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤲👍👍 P.S is it just me or do u have the same response to everyones problems..

Good for Seniors young brains going old .. It brought me enthusiasm to do solve the problems - looked hard at first .If you work slow and steady you can win and finish the games .Excellent hats off for those made these games to play at home especially seniors alone -after death of loving partner who used to play this games in his sick cancer days of treatment .Charles loved it .In his memory I’m alone yet I play it bringing back loving memory of my late hubby .Now I’m love caring my cancer with me now .We better start loving our illness .As we have games to play to keep us healthy and busy and NOT LONELY ..KEEPING OUR BRAINS HEALTHY -AVOIDING DEMENTIA …GOD BLESS YOU ALL CLEVER GAME PLANNERS .AMEN !

Addictive. This is a highly addictive game. As with other games, it is possible to buy tokens however, there are plenty of opportunities to gain these without having to spend a cent. One can therefore advance indefinitely. There are weekly activities and challenges to keep it interesting. Make sure that you log on when playing or you will lose it all if it needs to be reinstalled. The greatest PLUS of this game is their support team. They respond quickly and efficiently and fix your issues. Highly recommend it.

Causes overheating and apps to crash. This game is very fun, I’ve played a total of over 5 hours and I checked my battery analytics seeing as how it’ll overheat/slow down my whole phone and I need to close it and let it cool before I can play again. It took up 74% of my battery life within the last 24 hrs. In comparison, I spent 4 hrs listening to podcasts, 2 hrs browsing the net, 2 1/3 hours listening to music and it only amount to only 19% of my battery life all together. This needs to be fixed, I’m unsure what causes it. I’ve turned off all sounds and such. My phone is up to date and it’s a fairly new phone. I’ve never had battery issues until now. I really enjoy this game, however, the battery drainage is just too burdensome plus the overheating.

Five star!. The reason that I think this app is a five star is that it expands your range of vocabulary! It helps you learn new words, improve your IQ and most importantly, it educates you! Personally, this app in one of my favorites out of all of mine. Furthermore, this wonderful app has relaxing music to let you listen to when you try to complete one of the levels! Not to mention that it helps you train your patience by trying to find out the new word that it tries to challenge you with! Best educational app I ever downloaded!

Used to be fun, now ruined by ads.. Used to love this app - very addictive and the collection challenges are super cute. The dictionary is quite limited, which can get frustrating, but other than that I enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately, in the last 6 months or so the app has been redesigned and is far less enjoyable now. The main changes that I strongly dislike are: 1. Ads are now incessant. They used to be after every few puzzles, which is fine for a free-to-play app. Now, they are after every puzzle, without exception. Also, waiting to claim a prize? Ad. Reopen the app after looking at another window? Ad. Idk about other players, but flooding the app with ads isn’t going to coerce me to buy the premium version. I’ll just stop playing. 2. The rewards for gaining duplicates in the collection challenges were slashed, so now you have to do twice as many puzzles for the same rewards. 3. Probably a bit of a personal gripe, but I’m not into the new wildlife aspect. My actual job is in wildlife conservation and having an app trying to get me to spend large amounts of time doing challenges to “save” fake wildlife is just annoying. The pretty backgrounds that this has replaced were a really nice feature of the app.

Most Relaxing Game Ever. I suffer from anxiety and ADD (attention deficit disorder). Sometimes I get so anxious that I flick between gaming apps on my phone to try and calm myself down and distract myself. Nothing worked until I downloaded Wordscapes. Now, whenever I am anxious or I find that I can’t focus on anything, I open Wordscapes and within minutes I am calm and relaxed. I can spend hours on this app, which is normally incredibly difficult for me to do because of my ADD, but the simple but thought-provoking puzzles can keep me focused. I’ve had Wordscapes downloaded for a few months and I only ever use it when I am anxious or when I can’t focus, but I am already at level 157.

Download this app!! ❤️🐢. This app is amazing for listing and consentrating here are three of my favourite things about this apps THERES no disadvantages about this app number 1 not many adds I have never found a better app that only includes about two adds between each level or so I’m not completely sure how many adds there are in each level but I’m just saying that there is Hardley any adds in this game and I’m so glad that’s theres only not many adds because I have never found or played a better game Number 2 it’s so peaceful and relaxing seeing all the backgrounds that include somthing relaxing really helps my brain wind down it’s amazing I love all the landscapes as what the creators put as backgrounds for most of the levels this game is so amazing whenever I’m bored or don’t have an opinion on what to play on my iPad I always look and see wordscapes and l love to play this game number 3 can’t not play this if you see and add for thiss game on any streaming platform play it it’s free to download and and amazing learning and fun game bye!

Bugs and ads. Used to like it. Now the app shows way too many ads, after every level. Then the bugs: words that truly exist - the app is considering wrongly non existent. The stars you’re earning are being discarded. The list goes on. Verdict: the app creator needs to focus on improving the game experience. By the looks of it, the greed has a higher priority. Edited a week later: the developer’s only response to negative reviews, by the looks of it, is that you can remove ads forever by simply paying once for it. Same copy/paste developer response. Hey, Mr. Developer, how about fixing bugs that people are annoyed with? How about stopping mid-game ads? How about fixing crashes and other bugs? Just like I said: greed. Final edit: the developer doesn’t react to criticisms. Bugs persisting. Deleted the app: there are much better alternatives.

This app is great!. This app is good because it helps with anxiety and it is good to help get to sleep if you can’t sleep but also can’t be bothered to read a book. Also I’m pretty sure that this game increases your I.Q I’m not sure but yeah. Also this game is addictive but not too addictive so if your playing it and you have things to do you are able to go and do it without feeling the urge to keep looking at your devise or whatever. Also as I mentioned this really, really helps with anxiety, I have really bad anxiety and whenever I play this it calms me right down and also because I am so concentrated on the game I forget about my worries and stuff. This app has really helped me and also really, really, really fun. His app also doesn’t have much adds, when your in the middle of a puzzle it doesn’t interrupt you with random adds. Definitely recommend getting this app. 😊

Addictive. This is a well written and addictive app which is let down only by the dictionary that it uses. Many valid English words not allowed and this is not only due to the fact that it is written for an American user base. However users do need to be aware of American spelling and vocabulary to be most effective. This includes a number of Spanish words that are in common use in the US but might not come easily to those in some other countries. Another annoying feature is the use of onomatopoeic so called words such as ooh, aah, ouch etc. etc. Also annoying is the inclusion of prefixes, abbreviations, apocopes, Greek letters and occasionally foreign words. So if you are stuck on a word in a crossword you will often find it is because the word falls into one of these problem categories listed above. In summary the app would be improved by the use of a comprehensive dictionary and only allowing full English words.

Good game, very glitchy. I have downloaded the game twice in the attempt to avoid the problem. I’ve contacted support and they haven’t been able to resolve the it. The issue is I seem to get a few levels in and the game stops being able to process the words I’m writing. I went back to redo levels to see if it was something I was doing. I can’t enter words there either. I enjoy the game but not the hassles. Glad I didn’t pay. If I don’t hear from support soon I will likely delete and try again in a few months time. If it does the same again I’m writing it off. Sorry for the neutrality of the review I liked the game but it doesn’t work well.

Not much ads. Normally I only see one ad when I finished the puzzle unlike other apps when you are halfway through you get two ads, Even though I got this game from the ads there was no granny, I think I downloaded the wrong game but it’s still great! I got this yesterday and I’m already loving it! I’m so obsessed and it makes me feel calm, I got tons of bonus words (in total 11) and this app teaches you words like a dictionary! You must buy this app because it’s free too! It’s challenging what teaches you, you will get smarter and I love the maps! Yes I’m begging you, please buy this app!

Not everything can be suitable for everyone!. I love the app, I'm currently on level 21 and throughout the game, it made me learn some new words! The music helps me focus so much, and it's all because of you! I thank you for making this game. Although, I do have some feedback to make this more efficient to people. It would be better to have an option to challenge yourself, and what I mean by that is you should put a timer as an option to see your record. This will help know your vocabulary in a very fast way! On level 20, I've noticed the word "abs", this word is a little bit inappropriate for children. And yes, I know it is a part of the human body, but I don't think kids should know this yet. Last thing is that you should put 2 letter words countable, such as hi, he, me, and many more possible. I hope you see this review and take it as a feedback! Please do not change the best parts of them all. Kindly Regards, The person who wrote this.

Wordscapes. The name actually helps. The ads are exactly like the game. I have found my days a lot more helpful and less stressful. I have found myself playing this game every night before I go to bed. The game makes me feel like I am smart. If you are looking for a game that is a challenge then you have come to the right place. This is a game where it is simple and challenging. As the levels go on it gets harder and you unlock pets which helps you get more coins. You can also join teams that help you pass the levels and you can help them. I hope you down load the game it is really fun and I hope it gives you joy when you play. That is why I’m giving this game a 5 star rating. Hope to see more people play Wordscapes. THANK YOU AND BYEE

Really enjoy this game.. Starts easy, gradually gets harder. I paid the small fee to get rid of the ads and it’s well worth it. More enjoyable not to get interrupted all the time. You earn coins in the game, which you can spend to get hints for letters. I’ve only used these rarely. If you keep shuffling the letters you can usually see the word you need. Or leave the game and come back and you can often see the word you need. I’m at level 400 and haven’t spent any money apart from removing ads. Buying coins would let me get through the levels quicker, but my purpose for playing the game is to exercise my brain so I won’t be doing that.

Your Doing A Great Job. Don’t listen to the mean stuff some people say about the app/game because it’s not true and it’s probably because of there phone or iPad that that stuff is happening because I assure you that isn’t true. It’s a great game for all ages and for anytime trust me once you get the game you’ll see what I mean. And everyone who work for it try there hardest to make you and everyone who plays the game happy so I just want to say thanks for all the effort and hard work you put into this game to make it so fun as enjoyable. 🫶🏻👍🏻😀😃😄😁😊🙂🥰😍

Ads are inappropriate. Too many ads that make you wait an inordinate length of time and an ad about ‘King’s Choice’ where he chooses a half naked girl for his pleasure. What is wrong with you?

Full of ads. I purchased ad removal and it still floods with ads

Stop making “chemo” obligatory. This is the 8th time I’ve contacted support. The word “chemo” is obligatory to pass the level. PUT IT INTO BONUS, PEOPLE DONT NEED TO BE REMINDED OF THEIR ILLNESS.

Words. The best one !

Annoying. I was looking for a nice word game to pass the time so I tried this. After a half hour I deleted it. Ads started coming up after every game play, there were so many screens to go through just to start the next game. Sure the game looked nice and the games themselves were ok but too much crap. Though one am using thing was many of the ads shown in this game were for games with “no” ads

Overtaken By Deceptive Ads. Enjoyed the game for a couple years. However there are now ads between each game. A game takes about 1-3 minutes. So you have 30s of ads for every 3 minutes of play time. And the ads are designed to be hard to close. Sometimes requires two or three taps to close or the ‘x’ is hidden in the same background colour. Now I am getting ads that threaten to delete my contacts unless I purchase more memory. Time to say goodbye.

Brain game. Great game to kill time

Ad festival. It’s honestly cancerous how the ads work, it’s 5 seconds but not really cause once you click x there’s another 5 seconds you have to look at the picture and then click x and sometimes there’s even another frickin prompt that you also have to click x on. That’s insane that anyone allows these type of ads to exist, how is showing me the ad 3 separate times gonna get me to download it, it just gets me upset.

Ads may be dangerous on this.. Noticed while playing it’d try to load websites, login to apple and the final straw this morning was it looks like it tried to send a text message. Uninstalled after app immediately. Gameplay is great but they need to keep their ads from leaving the app or doing things in the background.

Time to quit. They accepted money in exchange for removing ads, and now they show you ads anyway. Don’t give them money.

Ads won’t go away. Used to be fine….now they’ve switched to these ads which there’s no way of closing. So I will be finding another word game as my patience in having to restart my phone to clear these horrible ads has waned.

ThAnk you. So awesome for my brain. I’m old and need to keep my brain working. Thanks Wordscapes!

Like it. Very fun

Hate Star Rush - please remove. Hate star popped up and eating away my coins …. 3 min time limit is horrible …time ticking away…please remove it and I will update the rating.

Enjoyable, but need to increase vocabulary, and be consistent in what types of words are allowed. Vocabulary is very limited. Too many legitimate words (e.g. ewer, treed) aren’t accepted, and too many obscure, rarely used words (e.g. lier), slang words (cocker, nan, veep), and “Americanized” words (e.g. lite (but not nite?)) are accepted. Also needs to be consistent - some abbreviated words are accepted (ref, mil, lib, croc, spec, abs, lat, pecs, etc.) but others are not (intel, min, dem, etc.). Also euro is accepted, but peso is not (don’t think I’ve seen the word dollar come up, but I’ll assume it would be accepted). And why is wile accepted but not wiles?? Same with luge, but not luges?? I wish you could select different levels - easy, medium, hard, etc. so that some with a larger vocabulary than others could be challenged while others who don’t could still enjoy the game. While I do agree there are lots of ads, my biggest annoyance is how many times I’ve accidentally clicked on the hint buttons and lost my coins. It takes so long to accumulate 300 coins, so it’s extremely frustrating to lose them by accidentally touching the hint options. You should include a double check “are you sure?” option.

So-so needs some work.. So-so game. Lots of ads, lots of words missing from their library: Nog Abed Edam Nos Vail Slav Asia Salvia Coms Yale Licky Pule Are just a few so far. Pretty well have to shut off cell data and wifi for it to be decently playable.

Worst App out there. This App is pathetic. There are thousands of Ads just one after the other after one round. The rewards are 1 coin at a time when you win, but the cost to purchase is hundreds of coins. To get anywhere you have to put in hundreds of hours. It’s a game for demented people no one else.

Used to be good. Absolutely hate the latest update with all the add ons. It used to be about making words. Too many distractions. Deleting.

Wordscapes. Nice!!

I have dreams about Wordscapes. Amazing game but it’s extremely addicting. I had a dream about this game last night where the letters came to life and were chasing me throughout different map areas and in order to get them to stop chasing me I’d have to arrange their bodies into words and beat the level, then a harder boss level bunch of letters would appear and I have to keep making words until I won

Wordscapes. Great word game. Makes you think

Too many ads / Amazon phishing scam. Game leads to “ you won a $750 Amazon Card” site. Wants to get all of your personal info and you “might” get a gift card. Don’t give away your personal information ever. Nobody needs your name and address, email address and cell phone # for anything. This is such a scam. I deleted your game because of this. You should be ashamed.

Love it…. Super addicting. Just started this game a few days ago and I got hooked Super fast and now my 15year old is leaning over my shoulder and helping me with words too! Family fun!

Riddled with ads. I get that it is free, but this is too much. An ad after every single level is a bit ridiculous. If you are doing well you spend more time looking at ads than you do playing the game. There are better word games with less ads. Go play those. I shouldn’t HAVE to pay to get rid of ads, in order to make the game playable. If the developers read this. Every time I play this game I am putting airplane mode on as a middle finger to you. If it were more reasonable I would let the ads play. To their copy and paste response: no, there are ads to support the developers, and then there is your greed. There are plenty of games that do ads reasonably. Then there is this one, “make the game unplayable unless they pay to remove the ads”. This is just a review so people know they will be getting a crazy amount of ads, I will put it in airplane mode to avoid them, instead of paying for your “make the game playable” purchase, so you don’t make a cent off me. And others should do the same.

So many ads. Solve a puzzle, get an advertisement. Whether it takes 15 seconds to solve or 15 minutes - ads; exit the app and come back, ads. Just an app of ads with a fun-ish word game in it. Update to developers response: I understand the need for ads when using the app in its free version what I’m saying is that, in comparison to other games, the ads in your app are beyond excessive and take away from the experience.

Terrible Game Plagued by Advertising. Do not download this game! I do not mind advertisements and I understand that a company needs them. This game is totally different! The ads load as a bar across the bottom of the screen. They lock up the game totally and intermittently as ‘something’ is loading in the ad. It’s not once or twice and done. It is continuous! What a piece of junk!!

WOW. I don’t usually rate iOS games. But WordScapes is fantastic, incredible, inspiring, uplifting, fun

Fun Addictive Brain Workout. Great game set on beautiful backgrounds.

Too many scam ads!!'. This was a great app but lately there have been too many ads that mimic Apple screens saying you must click here to free up storage or that there are security issues. The most recent also included a loud alarm sound (even though I have sounds turned off within the app). I'm done!

Not happy!. Just downloaded Word Scapes - played to several levels, then the screen went blank momentarily and another game (“Bubble” ... something or other) showed up that required it to be downloaded before I could leave that screen. I had to delete Word Scapes to get out. Sorry, not happy won’t redownload.

Uhhhh. Why is shrek not a word????

Not child appropriate. Had a few words that were bad

Cool. I like this game

Canadian Gal. I love the challenge.

Waste of time. Started playing the game, it could be a good and enjoyable game, but there are too many ads and if you want to play, you have to pay. I bought a piggy bank thinking it would be good, when the piggy bank filled up, you have to pay again to open it!!! Very disappointing. It is a pity that the creators were so greedy, it could be a good game if poor people could enjoy it too!

Racist to Asians. The word Asia was not added as a bonus word even though i was able to spell it out

Great game. Beautiful visuals, and challenging but not too difficult. Lots of levels, and not too many ads. Have recommended to my friends.

Creators never owned a dictionary. The amount of words that you get ripped off of is unbelievable!! The ads are enough to throw your phone, have to play with data off. This games horrible use of using as example 4 words and then literally just pluralizing said 4 words to make it the rest of the puzzle, yet I can get 9 or 10 extra words without plurality and that’s if they count words that do exist. Easy brain waste to play but if your easily frustrated with bs….warning

Very glitchy. Game used to work well but now it is full of glitches. Points get lost, addition errors, words that are questionable. Not recommended.

Incredulous!. The game starts off well (warning: it can be addicting), hence the one star rating. However, in later levels, the word library/algorithm/what have you was very selective in a double standard way, which was enough to turn me off this game for good! For example... Why is ‘nano’ (a scientific term) not considered a word when many other far more obscure scientific words are?! Why was ‘newt’ (singular) not considered a bonus word but ‘newts’ (plural) was?! Explain that to me! I will be deleting the game as these double standards have increasingly become very frustrating!!

Pornographic Adds. Male enhancement products adds are inappropriate for a game app. Uninstalled.

The Ads You Run Are Creepy, Sexist & Disgusting. Currently on your app there is an ad for a game about a woman losing custody. You know kids play this game and this is disturbing. Also this was not the only creepy ad you allow on your app. I’m done with this creepy company.

Great ad platform. I get to watch so many ads, and sometimes I even play a game! (Yes I know I can disable ads, but not for 10 bucks when I’m not sure I even want to keep playing). The ads are annoying as hell, sometimes I can’t tell how to dismiss them. That’s YOUR problem, not mine!

Wordscapes. Hours of fun with words

Unnecessary updates. I’ve loved this game for months but am ready to delete it. The new update is awful, the game is becoming less and less of a word game, and more of a “pay to win” game where you pay to collect useless pets. Very dissapointed.

Stop with the new animals please. Every time there is a new one, I can’t play unless I tap it. I refuse to. Not able to play for two weeks. Trying to hang on but will prob delete app soon. On should not have to tap a “new animal” just to play. There is already nigh and you can a last skip. This new feature, game won’t let you play unless you tap it. Used to love this game and still do a bit but getting tired of this.

Ads escalating. I expect ads when playing a free game. This used to be a fun and relaxing game. Now the ads are relentless! After only 2 or 3 words are solved, I’ll get 3 ads! only to have more pop up within a minute. This is just too much! What went wrong? It used to be so good. ☹️

Wordscapes. Very slow, app freezes and ads don’t respond to “x” many times with three or four no responsive pages. This continues to get worse as time goes on.

STUPIDDD🤬🤬🤬. ITS DIGUSTING IT NOT ONLY SETS YOU TO UP TO FAIL BUT ITS A SCAM TOO!!!😡🤬😡 EVEN IF YOU GET IT RIGHT A MILLON TIMES IT SAYS YOUR WRONG THEN YOU HAVE TO USE 100 DOLLARS TO GET A HINT ITS SHOWS THE ANSERW YOUR WROTE AND ITS BURNS YOU BATTERY FASTER THEN A CHEETAH RUNNING TREADMILL!!!!

Good. But. Too many ads. 2 ads instead of only one, makes it annoying to sit and wait to cancel them

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Love it, but..... 😬⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I love WordScapes but I have some issues, that I would you guys can fix in the next update. I play on an IPad and a IPhone. I have no problems on my IPhone, but instead my IPad. When I got on WordScapes on my IPad, my screen freezes and powers off, but that only happens on WordScapes. I tried almost everything I could think of, such as turning off and on, deleting the app, and restarting my IPad. It still does this problem. My friend plays on her IPad as well, and she doesn’t have a problem with it at all. Please fix this, I’m giving it a 5 star review because I love this game, when I’m on my iPhone, but please fix this problem for the next update, and please decrease the number of ads per minute. Oh and one more thing.... The game board can’t understand some English words that are English, and it’s really frustrating, and can you please fix some bugs and glitches for the next update? Thank you so much, and please text me back if you guys can! Thanks a lot! -

Whoever made this you get five stars:). Is amazing if their ads I don’t care about I just like how the game is you did super good keep the good work it’s a really great game I really really really want more updates if you could do it I’ll be happy really happy and if you have to pay you can just put the X button you don’t have to pay it’s really cool I love it I really like it but just want to warn you all of you that some Games that you have to pay it’s a scam it could be a scam because they gonna make you pay and doesn’t let you stop the ads if you don’t know that means means keep going with the ads they want your money anyways Oos almost forgot if you see any money games like if you put adopt me they said you have to pay for games because it’s a very good game when clicking on it and pay it you’re die it’s fake anyways how do you get the game I just give you five stars I wish I can give you 100 stars or 1 billion stars Or infinity stars bye have a great time stay safe🥹 god bless you🛐✝️✡️🕎💟

A good game. You would think it would be a rip off but it’s not if you want your kid to learn this is the way to go if you want them to learn how to spell and read words download this game it is awesome it deserves a five star rating for do you know I’m helping your child learn stuff so if I think you if you think you’re ready to have your kid do that if they’re ready for half a challenge and the challenge is to download splash math these both will help you I am a kid speaking right now I use flash math and I use Wordscapes I love both of them they’re amazing they help thank you for listening to what I’m saying this is great please check out these two games give it a five star rating and you should like to see the difference The difference is great end it really helps my kid was learning was having so much trouble doing addition addition and she was learning how to do fifth grade mathShe learned how to do that in like five minutes do you want from kindergarten to fifth grade level it was phenomenal thank you

A Little Bit Smarter! 🤓. This game is very educational. It is a relaxing mind workout that I really enjoy. I’m very passionate about expanding my vocabulary and this game really helps. I love learning new words whenever I have a chance. This game also helps my critical thinking skills blossom. I have been learning new words all while playing a laid back game. This game does have a lot of ads, but they are not too pesky. Honestly, I’m just happy that this game exists. It is very fun and educational. In fact, I have added this game into my daily routine. I have decided to play this game for about fifteen minutes everyday to strengthen my mind. It has definitely been working. I’ve been playing this for a few years now and I’m in love with the game. I don’t really like how the game begs you for money, but I am glad that it is a free to play game that is available to people of all ages. Thank you for making this game! I really enjoy it! It is definitely worth your time and storage space! ❤️

Really Works Your Brain!. Wordscapes really boosts your brain power. This may not be something everyone likes, but I love it! The puzzles may be hard, but it’s fun trying them, and when the answer finally comes to you, it’s a real feeling of triumph! This game occupies me for hours, and has expanded my vocabulary, so I actually do better in school when it comes to reading and writing. Just one thing—the ads. Now, there are some games that have WAY too many adds. This isn’t one of those, but there are a fair amount. Could that be changed? Thanks! And also, the competitions where you have a time limit of three minutes. If you are just starting to play the game, be warned—it is really hard to get all of them in three minutes! But as annoying as this potentially is, if it’s not really hard words it can be fun too…also, I am eleven and it says 12 plus, but I don’t have trouble with it, just FYI…thank you for creating this game 😊

Great game.. have suggestion for developers. Hi. This game is really fun and challenging. I started a team last year and meet so many wonderful players in the chats. We play in the weekend tournaments and offer a suggestion from the players. I am in the States. I’m probably like most players in the teams and might be able to speak for every other team. The Tournaments starts on Friday and ends late on Sunday. Great if you reside in the States. I have many players from other countries that are up to a 12 hour difference. On our Sundays we lose a lot of participation due to a lot of our players are time zoned as a Monday. They have to go to school or back to work. A strong suggestion from many of us is could the game tournament begin on a Thursday evening and end the same time on Saturday. Basically, just move the tournaments one day back. That would give everyone a strong opportunity world wide to participate up the the end of the tournaments. Thank you.

Scam so you are sucked into spending $$$. This is potentially a terrific game which sadly hinges on a player spending tons of money. If you are a ‘wordie’ like I am, you are always looking for brain teasers. The game itself is a good brain teaser. HOWEVER, beware!! As you move up levels you will be enticed to spend money in order to move up in the game. I purchased the $2.99 option which removed adds, thinking I would be free to play the game. NOT SO! I am now stuck having to watch adds, or take a survey if I want to move forward in the game and cannot come up with a particular word. For each Ad or survey you watch, you earn 25 points. 100 points are needed for a letter clue. Another peeve, I know more words than the puzzle itself, so rather than give me the word I know, the puzzle either doesn’t know the word, or pushes it off to the side in a category box for ‘additional words’, where it just languishes. There is no extra win associated with knowing more. All-in-all, this is an extremely frustrating game if you don’t want to spend lots of money to purchase playing time. I hope the developers read this and take to heart that they can’t expect people to pay a fee ($2.99) and then continue to squeeze. For sheer frustration, I rate this game with one star.

Allowing team members the privilege to bully players. This game was a lot of fun until we encountered OldFarts. The team choked all the fun out of the game. Because they are allowed to bully players within the design of the chat. This team is allowed to single out players based on the player’s level of points. Also they force you to use the chat. The team claims to be looking to for players to chat and enjoy tournaments. No. You are required to chat and play ever weekend for hours and hours. The designers should consider offering a delayed start feature for tournaments that is separate from chatting. That way players don’t have to talk to the bullies when they want to play. The delay start feature should be available for top players to choose the length of the delay. I didn’t report the team OLDFARTS because they have the platform on their side of the situation. I have deleted the app/ game because this team ruined the fun of a GAME. I have a job and playing on a team & tournaments should be fun. I’m done spending my money to play a game with a design flaw that allows forced participation. You can’t join a successful team without being subjected to the high level players whims.

It’s fine. I really think this game is addictive. It’s a great game but not the best. Honestly I like doing these crossword puzzle stuff. I don’t want to be rude but, there are some bad things about this game. One, too many bonus words. I think it makes the game more challenging because I would have to make a new word. I’m 11 and I don’t know every word in the world! I am on at least level 100. Mostly, when I find a simple word it’s a bonus word! I am not the best at finding new words. Sometimes there are words that I have to find which are words that I don’t know the meaning to. I even have to get my mom to do some of the levels for me! I feel like I am too old for that. All the words I know are just stupid bonus words! Two, when I watch an ad to get more coins, it advertises the same game! It keeps advertising Toon Blast! I feel like I am too old for that game! Please stop advertising Toon Blast all the time. I’m sure there are other great addictive games you can advertise. To be honest, I can get addicted to this game. Overall, great game. 🙂

Love it! Just one little thing. I love Wordscapes it is a great game. I play it for almost a while everyday. I like that there’s wide verities of hints like bees, rockets, normal hints, shuffle, and targets. I have heard some complaints about the ads but I disagree they are not interrupting the game because they only come after a round. I also enjoy getting a prize everyday weather it is a free hint or just coins, it is a great feature. I love that there’s a dictionary space because when I write,I haves wide selection of words to choose from. But there is two little problems. One: when you start the daily puzzle but don’t Finnish it you can’t start the next day. I know that the point of the daily puzzle is to do a new puzzle everyday but maybe you could make a “Resume” button or a “Start a new one” Two: there is a space for ads on the bottom of the word bank, so if my hand slips it brings me right to the App Store. I know that Wordscapes themselves don’t provide the ads but they can at least move the bar. Aside from those problems Wordscapes is a great game, thanks for reading. And a wonderful game!

Fun, until it’s not.. I just downloaded this app about a month ago and I love it, but some things are random, ridiculous and annoying. To start, I am 12! I meet the age to have the game. Yet it expects you to have endless money to buy bees and coins. What are the bees for anyway? Second, the piggy bank thing. Kinda annoying. You play levels, and it adds coins to the bank, then tells you that if you want all the coins you worked so hard to earn, you have to pay 5 bucks. Why?! My suggestion would be to have the piggy bank unlock after a certain level, and all the coins saved up get given to you as a reward for making it there. My last complaint is that it says some levels are hard, but they are so easy that I got through them in 5 minutes, but the ones that say easy take me upwards of an hour! Not cool! Other than those things, the game is great. But those minor issues make is just that much less fun. Thank you for understanding my issues. Sorry if this is irrelevant. 🙂

Good but adds show better please respond to this. This is a very nice game with MANY ups and few downs. Though that is why I’m writing this, because of the downs. So first, I don’t see why there is not an easier way to get money besides finding extra words, which tray don’t give you very much money. A second reason I’m writing this is because in the adds it kinda says in different words that this game is a stress reliever, but of course, again, in different words. That’s the problem because sometimes you spend FOREVER trying to figure out JUST ONE word and have no money for a hint which can make you stressed. The third and final flaw to the game is how the adds say how this game makes you smarter but I really don’t see how it does that. So basically, in all, this is a fun game that I play slightly more than a lot of my others and I think it’s good for all ages!(Well, not ages 5 and under because they are kinda stupid and don’t know very many words lol😏)Thank you for this wonderful experience and I hope you make a few improvements. -Sam

Ads and Stingy Lying Devs. I already tried leaving one review about the ads in this game. You might see it. I mention the ads after every level, banner ads at the bottom of levels, ads after leaving the app and returning, plus the multiple ways they surely make money through micro transactions and their ridiculously high priced $9.99 to remove ads. And on the other foot, you can’t even turn off WiFi and play because the devs make it so your progress isn’t saved unless you use WiFi. I noticed on similar reviews that the devs respond that they are working on ways to make ads less intrusive. DO NOT TRUST THE DEVS. They are NOT working on that. They have been copy-pasting that same message to people complaining about the large quantity of ads since at least early November of 2023. We are now at the end of February 2024. Safe to say the devs DO NOT care about user experience. Please do not support the creators. Find a different similar game on the AppStore unless you want to spend 9.99 to remove the ads (which some users in reviews report doesn’t even work) or unless you love to watch the same annoying ads that take longer to watch than the levels take to complete.

Not Happy. There are issues with the game that others have outlined in detail - the basic nature of the vocabulary and the lack of recognition of some pretty standard usage words and the inclusion of non-words, the ridiculous “piggy bank” which stockpiles “coins” you’ve earned through playing but cannot access without paying (outrageous!), etc. But the thing that made me delete the game was the tourney this past weekend. I had forgotten to play until later on Saturday, played for awhile on Sunday then had things to do. When I remembered and checked about an hour after the tourney ended, I was pleased to see my beautiful new crown and that I had finished in second place which is where I’d been pretty much for the time I’d played on Sat and early Sun. Imagine the disappointment on Monday when I went in to play and suddenly my new crown was gone and another player was now listed in 2nd place with 3 or 4 more points than I had. It’s a silly thing perhaps, but it’s a digital game and scores are tabulated by computer so there’s no way a score can change unless it’s deliberately changed and not earned. It was the final straw of frustration before the camel walked away rather than have its back broken.

It is hard to play at level 1,000+ without consulting a dictionary. Ok, in the first few levels, just starting out, they are pretty easy. 3 words with 3-6 letters in them. After a while, you start to get addicted to the game. You watch so many ads that give you as little as 25 coins, and you beat “some more” levels, being over 20 levels. After a while, my brain got very stumped on levels because I couldn’t find out words that I did not know, so sue me! I had to look up online what some words were, and I had to buy more bees and fireworks than you would imagine just so I could get the final word. When I think that the end is near, the search of words thinning out, leading to one word, the level would be completed.. but no. The programming sends my word into the Extras bar like my idea was trash, like my other guesses. After I get the final word, I ascend into the heavens, my brain taking its vacation from work, but suddenly, there’s another level that my eyes plead for me to finish, so my body is shackled to my phone, playing endlessly until the end of time.

What a Game. Wordscapes is relaxing, and it exercises your mind. It’s a great game to pass time. I’ve never had any trouble with it, like glitches and those things. Basically no ads, and no internet needed. I have had this app before, and I might’ve deleted it, but that was when I was younger. The game is way better for older players than the younger ones. It’s honestly one of the best relaxing experiences I’ve ever had. Well, maybe a close fourth to reading, writing and listening to music. To tell the truth, ever since I’ve redownloaded it, it’s been my second most played game. And I downloaded it literally yesterday. If you like discovering new words, training your mind, relaxing your brain, and learning new words, download it. You might not really like a lot of those things I just mentioned, but honestly, it’s better than you think. The ads about Wordscapes are not fake. They’re just like the game. I really recommend you play it, since it’s one of my favorite games.

After years of playing this game…. I’ll be deleting it. I tolerated the ads for a long time, as annoying as they were. You might beat a level in less than a minute, then have to watch an ad that requires you hit the “x” 3-4 times after waiting 5 seconds at each stage of the ad. What’s worse is when you’ve only been playing for a few seconds and you get a low battery warning, and after dismissing it, have to watch another ad… I can understand watching an ad after every level, but watching one *literally every time* you “return” to the app? That gets annoying fast. But I still tolerated it… Here’s what got me though… as others have pointed out, the game will periodically open your browser to some sort of scareware/spam/malicious website. Automatically. No clicking/tapping necessary. That’s not annoying. That’s dangerous. Either the developers are branching out into illicit forms of monetization, or they’ve become negligent and careless in the ad-side development of the game. Either way, I would strongly recommend staying away from this game. I’m sad to delete it, as it was a good source of entertainment and mental exercise for a long time… but here we are.

Fun but issues. I love playing this game every day to relax. I have been using this app for at least a year or more but I’m getting frustrated with the amount of ads that interrupt going from one round to the other. Plus for the challenges such as the animal portrait collection where you need to obtain 3 pictures of each portrait to collect the animal, I have been playing the same groups over and over because you never receive the last few to finish off the collection. I have accumulated 20-30 or more collection spins (I guess you would say) to try and collect the portraits each week and still I cannot get the one to finish the category. I do not purchase anything with real money but I do play enough that the amount of time and spins collected should have gotten me the full set of portraits by now. But they make it impossible to do and that’s not fun or worth my time anymore. If they fixed the algorithm to be fair then I would definitely continue using this app but why try to complete anything when they gave it set so you never accomplish the task.

Good enough for what it is.. I really do love this game, the great thing about it that lots of people complain about is the ads and there’s one like every 5 levels. The thing is, it glitches why too much to where it gets really frustrating. It is extremely disappointing for a great game like this to have so many glitches. For example, I was playing this game about 2 months ago and I got a word right and then it glitched and ruined all my progress (basically I had to redo the entire level and it was my last word). This was very frustrating and disappointing. Please fix asap. Other than that, the game is amazing and is really fun and the backgrounds are so very beautiful. This game really calms you down when needed, there is just so many reasons why you should get this game. However, they are also so many reasons why you shouldn’t get the game. Thanks so much for reading. I appreciate it. For the bad things please fix. For the positive things keep up the good work! Thanks.

Too many ads! Too little rewards. I really like this game for the challenge of figuring out the words. What is annoying is 1. The coin rewards are ridiculous. I just got 15 coins as my daily reward. Big deal. It takes a 100 coins to buy a hint. You can watch ads videos to gain more coins or helpful rewards however who wants to watch endless ads of Royal Match? 2. The ads are every time you seek to earn more rewards (okay that is expected), then every time you finish a puzzle, every time you lay your phone down and then pick it up to resume your game, Any place there is a way to insert an ad this game has it. 3. I like the lwildlife graphics but do not know how those faceted hearts help me. I earn a lot of them but they don’t help me buy rewards. They only help change what animal you have and what it is doing. 4. For each puzzle you complete you may get a few coins (2-3) unless there are special s where you can earn more. After completing a level (16 puzzles) you might get a reward of 15, 25 or 50 coins. Bottom line is that it needs more rewards that help you solve puzzles.

Fun diversion with flaws. I’ve been playing this for some months now and enjoy it when I have a few minutes here and there. I do crosswords as well and it’s fun to look at 6 or 7 letters in any given puzzle and either see immediately the word that uses all of them—or to stare at it blankly wondering how any of those letters combine to make anything. The problem is that any words you make that aren’t in the grid should go into the bonus words. But the dictionary they use for the bonus words is so limited that I have long lists of valid words that are both in the dictionary and in common use that the game rejects. Added to that, they accept very few non-American spellings and non-American English words. I have emailed the developer about my frustration with the game, and they responded but didn’t seem to consider my concerns valid. They also have weekly contests, with point prizes for the top ten scorers. That was fine at first, but the game has so many users now that they should at least double the number of prizes. If the dictionary was improved, I would probably give the game 5 stars, but it’s too frustrating as it is to fully enjoy it.

They’re out for your money. Like others before me, I find the basic premise of this game intriguing, but there are many drawbacks. The inconsistent use of informal, slang English; the use of some, but not all, acceptable English words ( e.g. “knit” is fine, “purl” is not recognized); the use of rare, very career-specific words ( e.g. mathematical/engineering terms or some medical terminology); the inclusion (unreliable & inconsistent) of slang or informal English ( e.g. “info”); as well as an overemphasis on sexual terms, all combine to suggest the programmers are young men who have learned their English outside of formal training. There also seems to be a huge emphasis on getting you to spend real money however and whenever possible. “Rewards” or “prizes” in the game are very, very stingy, while getting or doing something that actually advances you requires you to pay. Some of the “rules” make no sense, and some — like how you earn points, or how many you even have, will remain an unrevealed secret. What makes this game fun was, for me, finding a group I could chat with, interact with. That took me quite awhile.

Weirdness with butterfly game…. Recently after my husband kept winning butterflies and habitat upgrades at what seemed like lightening speed compared to me, we realized that for some reason my Wordscapes jacks up the time-commitment level after my first butterfly of the week and starts forcing me to play like 10 times the number of games to reach one butterfly hatching as my husband’s requires for him, and in order to reach one single habitat upgrade I would have to put literally hours into playing which is just untenable in my life. It’s frustrating, especially since our versions of the app are supposedly identical. Is there anyone else out there who is in the same boat on this? And I agree with other reviewers about the portrait games and how it becomes impossible to complete a set and earn the bonus portrait because you start just winning repeats over and over ad infinitum. It’s as though the creators expect us not to have a life outside of this app. Fun to an extent but the problematics are becoming a little too annoying for me.

Overall enjoyable. Overall I enjoy the game. It is a good way to pass time and work your brain muscles at the same time. Some levels are harder than others while some are super easy. Certain words that it accepts or doesn’t accept are sometimes confusing but eventually I figure them out. I like the option to reorganize the letters and look at it from a new perspective! It is really helpful sometimes when you get stuck for a while. The daily puzzles are the one of the only parts I get frustrated with because you only get the butterflies to collect stars for the pictures if you figure out the specific word in the column it is asking for at a time. If you figure a different one out, no butterfly. The ads would be my only other complaint. After every level, there is an ad. Which is very annoying. I began to see the same ad so many times for another game that I eventually downloaded it because I saw it so much I figured I might as well try it out.

Great. Many words are overused for example you see words were used in multiple puzzles and far too many words that are good words- words that are not overused, are not included in the puzzles. Beautiful backgrounds and a very relaxing game. Kids should not be worse or cost 100 points but it takes 100 extra words not included the crosswords to come up with that many. To clarify what has to come back with 100 words that are not included in the puzzles just to be able to get want to hint at what hit is only one letter at a word either the entire ward that proportion is way off. Yes the same words are used over and over and over again that will be the reason that I stop playing this game. There are billions of words at the English language to use the same words over and over again completely deplete the purpose of the game. But it is a great relaxing way to enjoy a Phone game at all so I do find it addictive. It only needs slight revision. With the game finally finished is there a grand prize? it’s not clear on that.

This game is rigged to make you spend $. This game will cheat you out of coins. When you first start playing you will earn coins for each play. As you get to higher levels you will stop earning coins for winning rounds. Or you will play a REALLY hard round and win 2 coins. They give you bonus puzzles, one time they have me a 7 letter that was REALLY hard, I had 45 bonus words and do you know they next day they didn’t let me finish it they moved me to another puzzle, which they’ve never done before 🤔 but they would have owed me so many coins from the bonus rounds and they didn’t want to pay up. You will win pointless prizes like hearts for example. You can’t do anything with hearts besides by animals 🤦🏾‍♀️. What do I need animals for? They don’t do anything! Then the animals be costing 850 hearts and you only win like 3 hearts around. I liked it better when you would win coins because then you could use them to buy hints. This game is now focused on trying to get you to spend money. But I’m glad they never got a dime out of me. I remember when games were truly free not anymore. Long story short this app is a scam I’m removing it from my phone.

Please read!. First, I want to thank you for reading! Next, I would like to explain the ups and downs of playing this game! I like how the game has fun pets you can collect to help you progress in the game! They are all super cute and fun. I also appreciate that the eggs aren’t super hard to get but it’s still a little challenging to save up! I appreciate all of the fun events, competitions, etc. that the game does! It’s fun to participate Last thing I love about this game is that you can be in a little clan with other players! You can ask for help, chat, and get to know each other and the game even Better! But I do think that the chat should be monitored more closely for hurtful words and things not related to the game. Though you can shut off the clans chat, you shouldn’t have to in the first place. I chose to not be in a clan in the end to avoid something like that happening. But I feel like I’m missing out on being in a team! I also don’t like how many adds there are. I usually run into one when I first enter the game, after collecting something, or after completing a word puzzle! Of course adds are how games make money, and the adds aren’t inappropriate or weird, but it’s sometimes frustrating to have to watch so many adds! Overall the game is fun! I like to play it when I’m bored or in the car and is good to take your mind off things while educating you. Thank you so much for reading! I hope this was helpful ✨ have a great day 🌞

Good, annoying push for IAP. I've had this game for so long I don't recall when I first downloaded it. It is one of the few word games (or any game) that has always been possible to play without IAPs. I enjoy the basic word solving aspect and don't worry much about the weekend competitions. It has a lot more of what I call "collection mini-games" nowadays, which I'm neutral about. The ability to unlock different images for your profile icon is entertaining—I enjoy changing them for holidays/seasonally. The newer series of "collection" mini-game is more confusing (e.g. eggs, mountain climb, extra special icon), especially since the rule or mechanism has changed several times in the short time since its introduction. What I don't like is the increasing push for IAP in past few months, especially pop up ads for "deals" just I open the app. The IAPs are now targeted more towards the newest type of mini-games, rather than the main word game. The app has always had a decent system of earning extra coins for hints by watching short ads. Promoting these ad videos is more prominent, too. Yet there have been no ads to watch for a while. Overall, the main gameplay remains the same and is playable without buying IAPs. The developers seem to be more focused now on creating extra features that can provide more revenue with IAPs. I've knocked a star off for more blatant IAP ads and multiple updates that break features and/or don't fix what was broken.

Fun but one thing. I really like this game and it helps me expand my vocabulary, but the words are very hard to guess and words that could go well in it don’t count for the puzzle just as a bonus. This makes me mad because it takes me a while to think of them but they are just thrown I’m the bonus section and don’t even count for the puzzle! I also wish that the puzzle of the day first your level. It is either too hard or too easy for me. They should advance the daily puzzle for people’s own paces. Another thing is that the level of difficulty is really weird. I just finished level 20, which was hard, but now that I’m on level 21 it seems so much easier. I will give them credit because it’s really addicting and fun to complete the puzzles. You get this sense of satisfaction after you finish a puzzle. It is fun and good to kill time. Play this when ur bored or if you wanna do something “educational” but feel really lazy. I like this game except for those things I mentioned earlier.

Umm...? Somethings not safe here.... This game is great!!!! I love it! It would totally be a 10/10 but... Something just is not quite right, if I need coins for a hint... and I don’t have any, I have to pay real money for the coins right? Makes TOTAL sense! But if you decide... “nah I’m not spending my money” the you tap the button to get out of the thingy because you don’t REALLY need coins blah blah blah! Anyway so the a thing pops up every time (just how the game works) and it list three was you can get more coins for FREE!!!!! Well... this is ware the UNSAFE business happens... the 3 ways you can get coins for free that are listed is, 1. Video (totally safe that’s no big deal) 2. Offers (just more videos, or downloading games witch is totally fine) And 3. surveys!!!!! DO NOT TAKE THE SURVEY!!!! It asked me for my age, name, and some other personal info!!! I stoped immediately and made sure it did not go through. Now I’m not saying don’t buy the game!!! It’s a GREAT game!!! The survey is the only bad thing about it. I’m just saying... it might not be bad... but I personally don’t trust that kinda stuff. Anyway this is a amazing game and I can’t stop playing!!! Thank you to anybody that has actually bothered to read this 😂😂😂

Good game but.... Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me. I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead. Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running. Didn't make sense not to live for fun. Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb. So much to do, so much to see. So what's wrong with taking the backstreets? You'll never know if you don't go. You'll never shine if you don't glow. Hey now you're an All Star, get your game on, go play. Hey now you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid. And all that glitters is gold. Only shooting stars break the mold. It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder. You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older. But the meteor men beg to differ. Judging by the hole in the satellite picture. The ice we skate is getting pretty thin. The water's getting warm so you might as well swim. My world's on fire, how about yours? That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored.

GREEDY UPDATE. This is my favorite game and I spend hours playing. Via my friends in the tourney I recently learned the newest update TOOK OUT many words, real words, mind you, that had been rightfully added to an expanded dictionary several months ago. The reason: A money grab. Less bonus words equal less coins earned equals more people have to buy coins via the recently brought back “piggy bank”. I have this game on two devices, and I have paid for them both. I have not had to buy hints, as I didn’t need them. Then they introduced the tournaments where I use them frequently. Once I run through the coins I have accumulated, I WILL need to buy hints, thus giving the game some more revenue. That will likely be the case for many, many players! But instead they went for the easy money, and ticked off the most loyal, adoring players in the process. I'm fortunate I was warned NOT to update, but many people I care about had auto updates "on". Wordscapes, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more loyal player than me. But this new update is beyond the pale. It is "shameful", as one reviewer wrote. Kindly put the expanded dictionary back where it belongs, and KEEP the players that have supported you for a very long time, because I don’t know if they’ll stick around without you doing so.

Fun but problematic. While this is an interesting and challenging vocabulary game, the developer is constantly trying to get you to purchase game pieces such as coins and hints. I’ve come to the conclusion the developer is more interested in soliciting payments than in addressing problems/bugs. Additionally, the developer claims it is always looking for ways to improve the game. When playing on a smart phone, some of the buttons get unintentionally touched. Targets, rockets, and hints are not easy to obtain, yet get wasted unnecessarily by inadvertent taps. I suggested that the developer add a confirmation such as “please confirm you want to use this item” and got no response. Perhaps it is because they feel it might slow the game down for some, but they could put a button in settings to turn this feature on or off just as the user can control sounds. I never got a response. Additionally, in the “portraits” segment of the game, it is nearly impossible to get the last portrait in any set. I have opened over 200 earned boxes to get the last of three portraits of one animal I to no avail. This could be my favorite game, BUT………

Update makes game into child’s cartoon. I have playing this game for years when I have a little bit of time on my hands, and it was wonderful. Simple, you could enjoy the game but now with this most recent update, it looks like they turned it from an adult-looking game into child’s cartoon with little cartoon animals and things that take four times as long to get to the actual word puzzle. Please, that should have been a separate game, entitled for children. As an adult I have no desire to play this anymore especially if I’m in a waiting room or only have a little bit of time. Now you have to wait for butterflies to fly and eggs to hatch and animal cartoons to do their thing. This really should’ve been presented as a child version of the game while keeping the adult version. I’m almost embarrassed to play it in public and now it takes way too much time. I’m sorry, I used to love this game, and I will be looking for something else to play while waiting. The game was great as it was, other than making sure the platform is updated, I saw no reason to change it. It was my go to, now I will be deleting it and finding something more like the old version.

Bad plan. Like so many others that have played this game for a long time (level 9150 ish), I too am very disappointed with this latest update. The goofy little animated cartoon animals in the background are just silly for an adult game and the adds have always been problematic. Now these problematic adds are presented with very poor timing and the screen refresh cycle is constantly overlapping and repeating. Wordscapes, a play on the themed landscape photography used for the game backgrounds, have all but disappeared from the content. It seems that the developers have lost touch with the demographic attracted to this game. Won’t be long till we also say bye bye. To their credit, the developers have corrected many of the most annoying bugs that were present in the earlier versions of this new release and done so very timely to being given specific information about the issues. The game is more or less stable and no longer cheats you out of your awards. Upgraded my review from 1 to 4.

Good concept. Not so great execution. It’s bad enough that the “videos” one must watch in order to get points (coins?) to buy hints are anything but random (when I hit 20 consecutive views of the same obnoxious game, I quit counting), but to sit through one and tap to get another only to be told that there are no videos available is, well, adding insult to injury. I also question the validity of some of the words; I have played Scrabble for years and am accustomed to stricter rules than Wordscapes apparently applies. Fix the video issues and I may update the review. Update: Video issues are, well, different. More instances of “no video available” and (new one) after video, screen freezes BEFORE awarding coins, and game must be exited in order to unfreeze, losing earned coins. Plus, you have to open a different app before coming back to try again to earn coins. Sometimes you get a video before getting “no video available” and sometimes you don’t. Sorry, the issues outweigh the “pleasure” of playing this game. At level 512, I will not be playing any more.

Great, but full of ads!. I love this game, I like to play it before I start homework just to get my brain warmed up. It’s a great concept because not only can you extend your vocabulary, but also confidently learn how to spell words you might’ve thought were spelt differently. The perfect challenge. HOWEVER, the ads have become so invasive toward the entertainment of the game. I feel sometimes I spend more time watching ads then I do completing a level. You complete a level (whether you cruise through it or not) and then you go onto the next, but BOOM there’s yet another ad. It stinks because I get to the point where I stop using the app mid ad due to the frustration. I try to never use my coins, but sometimes I like to grab a few extra, so I will intentionally watch an ad… can we keep it to just that portrayal of advertisement? Lol! Altogether the game is great and I wouldn’t be writing this if I did not enjoy the game. Although it would be awesome if the length or amount of ads were cut back. Thanks!

I love the game, but two stars for the ads.. The game is extremely addicting and fun to play, but the ad breaks between the game is being horribly abused. I really don’t mind that a free game has an ad break in between rounds, but instead of having to skip through the initial ad, and then its follow-up ad of the same game, it is now forcing a third ad of the same useless game, significantly longer wait times, and it’s as if the closing button is now even smaller, and forces you to open the appstore at least 2-3 times before it finally allows you to close it. Even after that, if you don’t close it out in time, IT EITHER PLAYS THE AD ALL OVER AGAIN OR STARTS A WHOLE OTHER AD! Practically forcing your users to download useless games that they do not want to play is NOT how you gain their attention! It is greedy! I hate to remove this game because I genuinely enjoy it, but if the ad issues don’t get resolved, I’m probably just going to remove the app and find an indie app developer that doesn’t cram ads down your throat the way this game has been, and take my business to them. If you would like video proof of these ads in action, I can definitely make it happen.

Fun but app has some issues. Please help fix the issue many of my teammates are having with the daily puzzles. They complete the daily puzzle, scoring three stars… but then only receive credit for 2 starts. That prevents them from completing all the animal frames for the month and receiving associated coins. The fact that it impacts daily play is frustrating. They’ve already submitted the issue for help within the app but no change. Otherwise, it’s fun and landscapes a really pretty. Not super excited with all the new animals, only because I like my view of the landscapes to be on every page, including the front page. It feels more like a kids game now. I also wish in tournaments, only those who participated in the tournament would receive a share of the prize coins. Inevitably a team will get people who join at the last minute, ride along w/out playing just to get some extra coins. It is a nice benefit that when you help others you score a coin. Thanks for creating and maintaining is fun game. It’s helpful to keep some minds active, learn new words or a great break from the day!

Fun! But Please Fix Binocular Game!. My husband and I love to play this binocular game! (We also race against each other with the daily game and compete as individuals in the tournaments.). We were enjoying the Binocular Game to earn little pictures/avatars. However, we are getting too frustrated with the earned avatar rewards constantly and repeatedly giving us points toward the same pictures we’ve already unlocked. We invest a lot of time playing to unlock a picture...which already takes 1-3 rounds of 5-6 games each to unlock! We aren’t Mensa geniuses! It takes us a little time to complete some of these puzzles! Then, when we’re looking forward to see our reward, it’s been the same avatar over and over. I had 1 one avatar with 7 points! It unlocked at 3. I know you gave me another prize after 3 to 4 repeats but even THAT one was a repeat! Please review this and make a programming change so that once an avatar is unlocked, points go to other unlocked avatars only! Then we can feel like it truly is a reward worth playing for. Thanks for all the other things we love about this game!

Photos and butterflies are too long. I really like this app. I like that there is a dictionary so if one in unfamiliar with a word they can click a button to read definition. I’m not digging how it seems in challenges words tend to be alphabetical. I’m not happy with being forced into a tournament last week. I’m also not happy with the “photos” that in order to reach 100% it’s taking so long to get rest of category. I played last week a lot only because I was riding in a car traveling. My life does not permit to sit and play for hours on end. I only have one photo left to complete a category but after playing for several hours I’ve not gotten anything but repeat photos. I don’t have the whole photo time to play to get one final photo. The Butterfly thing I will never have the time to play to fill the entire goal. It’s not attainable for people with a life outside of game. How do people reach 6000 or higher in one weekend without having a robotic arm? I will continue solving the puzzles but

Don’t play this game.. Hi I’m Shea Gandolph. I’m only a kid and love wordscapes. (Used to like Wordscapes) This game is fun and all but I recommend that you get rid of the ads. I absolutely HATE ads. When ever I want to watch a movie on Disney+ I always get an ad. When ever I want to get hint it straight up takes me to safari or the App Store. Secondly, I am only in forth grade ( almost in fourth grade) and I only now a couple of words kids don’t understand and these words don’t make sense! I know there is a dictionary that you can find out what the word means but sometimes i don’t understand it. Lastly I want to talk a little bit more about the ads. Most of your ads are good but the show up in my other games. I get a lot of your ads in color by number, so does my brother! This game is supposed to be fun and relaxing and relaxing but it’s more stressful and uncomfortable, just like say if you are in the car on a long trip and you want to play wordscapes your siblings might watch you and get car sick and they puke that would be uncomfortable and not relaxing. So that’s why I’m writing this review. To get rid of the ads. Please get rid of the ads. Thank you. P.S I already deleted the app 😛😛😛

Completing portrait collections. It is really frustrating when you play and play and play and are unable to finish portrait collections anymore. There are quite a few that I only have one left to finish before getting the ultimate one. And no matter how many I save up before collecting out of the gift box I still do not get the ones to complete my collections. I have been playing your game for a long time now. I enjoy it but I’m getting to where I don’t even wanna play because you can’t complete your collections anymore. Same goes with the butterflies. I can get so far and then your game will not allow me to go on any farther or complete the butterflies and their habitats. Also with the 2024 holiday collection I wasn’t even given the chance to win the proud mom image. And never got the chance to win any of the 2023 holiday collection, which makes me very sad.. is there a way to go back and win them? And I update my game often. Thank you for reading my post and helping me get some resolutions.. I just updated my game and LOST ALL MY ANIMALS AND HEARTS 😭💔!!!!! What the heck?? I don’t even want to play now😭😭

Challenging and fun!. I love playing this game to be able to challenge my brain. I also love how if you put a word on the puzzle, you can click it to see the actual definition of the word. The only thing I don’t like is how getting a hint for just one letter in whole puzzle costs 100 coins. Yes, you can get a bunch of coins, and the hints are pretty easy to pay for, but I don’t like how they are so “overpriced” and the fact that you don’t even get to pick which spot to get a hint on makes it more overpriced. But despite this little issue, (which I would love to see changed in a possible next update,) this game is super fun and is just the right amount of challenging. A lot of the time when I am bored in the car, or traveling, or just ya going out in my room, I do use this game as a time killer, which does seem to be helpful to kill time, and it’s super soothing with all the calming slow music, and how the backgrounds on the puzzles are always really pretty pictures and they are really soothing to look at, too. I definitely love this game, and would love to see the one change made to it.

Love it - but. I really love the game and try to play a little every day! I do have a couple of issues: first, I paid for the ad-free version; but I cannot get my iPad and iPhone to sync. The iPad is fine; but when I play on the iPhone. There is an ad after almost every game without the ad-free version; and many of them last a long time before giving an option to skip it. It’s probably something I’m not doing correctly to sync them. I’ve figured out a way to bypass the ad; but it’s still aggravating. Second, on the daily puzzle, lately it has started not giving me all the stars I earn. If I earn 3 stars, for instance, it will sometimes only give one or two stars. Sometimes it will even give all 3 stars; and then take 1 or 2 stars away right before my eyes. Other times, the next time I play, at the end when it adds the stars I earned in that game to my prior total, the prior total will be less than what I ended up with the day before, sometimes by several stars.

Not for word game lovers. If you’re a big fan of high scoring word games, this is... frustrating. It’s been known for a long time that the dictionary of this game is severely lacking. I’ve looked and it probably contains around a third of the playable Scrabble words of 3-7 letters. This is frustrating if you’re big into word games to see real English words be rejected over and over again. But it’s not their fault. At one point, a few months back, the developers randomly expanded their dictionary to include just about every scrabble word. This lasted maybe 2 weeks; I’m guessing the outcry from the fan base was loud and angry. In the tournament mode on the weekends, bonus words count for a lot, so if you don’t know the words you are at a tremendous disadvantage. So the dictionary was scaled back once again and valid words are back to being rejected. Oh well. I still play it but it’s frustrating even when you know which words are allowed. At this point it’s kind of a memory game: this real English word is fine, but this one isn’t. Stakes are low though, so it’s a fine distraction. Just don’t expect a challenge.

Fun While it Lasts. After seeing so many different ads for this game, I finally downloaded Wordscapes. The game was a lot more fun to start off than what I thought it would be. The early levels are easy and introduce the crossword mechanic to you so you get familiar with it. As you progress through the levels, the puzzles get harder. To help with the harder puzzles, the game gives you power ups, but I hardly found the need to use them and the money to buy hints was very easy to come across. The game offers a nice variety of backgrounds for all the different levels, so the game as a whole is a peaceful experience that also makes you feel like you are keeping your mind sharp. I do admit though that some charm is lost after 100 levels or so, and I found myself not feeling the urge to keep continuing on. This may be because it is still just the same game mechanic over and over. So the experience is still a fun one but it does lose a bit of appeal after some time. I see a lot of complaints on the ads of the game, but they didn’t bother me an they would only last for 5 seconds usually. A solid game overall.

Fun little game to help kill time, but one flaw. I’ve been playing this game for a couple months now. It’s a fun way to kill time and even exercise your brain a bit. I do like that it has a feature that lets you easily look up the definition of words that you might not recognize, so it has helped me expand my vocabulary a bit. This also, however, exposes one of the flaws of the game. The one frustrating thing about this game is with what words it will and will not recognize. This fault is not so much with the game itself, but with the dictionary source it uses. It allows a few slang and abbreviated words that I wouldn’t have thought to use. It even allows for some slightly more scientific terms but not others. Most notably, it doesn’t allow for certain words that connote a more recent understanding and sensitivity to LGBTQ populations. Once again, I point this not a flaw of the actual coding, but rather the dictionary base that it uses. Finally, the amount of ads within the game is a bit annoying, but such if the case fit just about any freemium game.

I’m Giving Up. I am addicted to word games and have quite a few of them on my phone. I have decided to delete this one, however, because it is so frustrating. Even though I have contacted the developers twice with questions, the answers I got did not resolve the issue nor actually answer my specific question. Also, the few directions that are available are confusing, especially when dealing with tournaments. Some issues: I will input the same word several times during the course of one game and it is not accepted, and then all of a sudden it is. And basic everyday words are not accepted in some games but are in others. They will allow the word “can” but not “canned”, as in canned vegetables. It’s totally frustrating, and I keep shaking my head and wonder why I’m wasting my time. But not any more. On to more satisfying pursuits in the world of words. Add the fact that you have to watch an ad after every game, Wordscapes is not worth my time. A note to users who choose to keep playing this inferior game: after you play a game and the ad pops up, shut the game and then come right back to it and you avoid having to watch the ad, many of which repeat with irritating regularity.

Can’t Opt Out of Some Features. I enjoy finding the words and clearing the boards. However, they are a lot of extra in-game competitive activities that you can’t opt out of and, for me, seriously detracts from my enjoyment of the game. The most recent addition is a feature called “Star Rush” that is active during the weekend tourney and awards you up to 4 stars if you clear a board in less than 3 minutes. Since I generally can clear a board in less than 30 seconds, this award pops up after every single board. This is very annoying because I don’t even want to participate in the tourney - let someone else have my spot. I paid $2.99 because I wanted to get rid of the ads, and now I’m refraining from using it on the weekend during the tourney because it’s not fun for me. I’ve read a lot of reviews about this app when it comes to cheating and to word choices, and I want to add my voice to these concerns. There are websites that provide the solution to nearly every level, making it far too easy for a player to rank very high and very fast in the tourney. There are also valid words that are not accepted, as well as prior names that are. I’ve read a good review for solutions to both of these issues.
