Very nice but they have to improve a few things. The nice things: - You get extra points for 5+ letter words, themed words and digraphs - Wordament exists in many languages, even languages like Swedish, Norwegian and Arabic - Wordament knows what words are foreign (judo, pizzeria etc) - Kids can play it too The disadvantages: - Wordament does NOT have a dictionary - even when you press on a word - Wordament on the MSN site does not have Microsoft's writing font - Words people make in other languages are not foreign (not all) sometimes feel to the Microsoft system they obviously ARE foreign. - You cannot play Daily Challenges or Multiplayer without internet connection. - Multiplayer sometimes says you don't have internet, even if you do have. - Wordament in German and Portuguese have different rules and objectives - Wordament does not tell you how to pronounce a word in any kind of English. - Wordament's adventures do not have leaderboards - Wordament Solver sometimes tells words that you cannot make on Wordament. And some rules for kids when playing with mom or dad - Take turns making words - Do not let other people make another part of speech of a word or add a suffix on a word on a word one person has made - If you don't win, don't cry! It's just a game!

Zero Stars!. This new Wordament version is horrid! It is full of adds, I see no leader boards and the flashy music and silly maze I have to work through is ridiculous. I want the old game back. What were you developers thinking? My advice. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Ah but you just had to upgrade to greasy car dealership version that leaves a bad taste in my mouth and feeling slightly taken advantage of. I refuse to upload this app again until you bring the old version back. Hopefully for you, you pull in a bunch of younger players who don’t mind all the fluff. I hope not! I hope this game bombs so you bring back the old version. If I wanted a ripping off, dull brained casino experience, I’d go to a casino. But guess what, I’m not that stupid. Thank for ruining the game and taking all your past followers for granted by assuming we would all just love stupid adds and a slower game. Thanks but no thanks!

Please fix. I love the game but.... the old version was so much better. I don’t know why some corporate jerk has to pitch a new update that screws everything up. Clean and simple. That’s all we want. The new version has all the bells and whistles that nobody wanted. And the stats are screwed up. It used to have a total score (which would rank you by month, year, or all time). It used to list how many wins you had. That’s all still there because I was getting it by refusing to update to this version. But they screwed the whole thing up so I had to update. Could you guys at least make the stats available on your home page? And I can’t even read it anymore either. Too small and the new I phone covers the theme hints and timer. Really! Don’t you guys even play the game yourselves?

Fun game and all, but…. after the first few maps, the game becomes repetitious. Same stuff over and over and over, ad nauseum, to the point of being boring. Similar or same puzzle, different map. Ultimately, it seems there is minimal creativity. It’s almost “copy and paste.” Each map starts out easy and gets progressively more difficult, until I come to a gate. Go through the gate and puzzles are easy, becoming more difficult, until I come to a gate or complete the map. The pattern repeats endlessly. I’m currently in the middle of Map 39, so it’s not like I did just a few maps and wrote a review. I keep playing because, right now, I don’t have another word game. I love word games and I have a huge vocabulary. I want more challenge. (My mother did the 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘨𝘰 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘦 daily crossword puzzle in ink.)

Fix needed. You can play this game on an Apple product, but first you must: Go to the setting menu, turn off the private network, turn on the private network, turn off the computer, turn on the computer! Then maybe if you are lucky, you can play the game. If not, repeat all the above steps, then again maybe, then again maybe. I really believe it could be fixed, but for reasons I don’t understand, they have apparently chosen not to fix.

A lot of fun….. I play this game often. I especially love the daily challenges. I REALLY think the developers should allow us to play previous months’ challenges, similar to Microsoft solitaire. The reason for this simple: I could have a perfect month and just miss the last day of the month and puff! I will no longer be able to replay that day. It hasn’t happened much, but it has. It’s defeating. At least allow us a few days to make up the last day of the month before it closes out forever.

Fun word game. Update: ‘cep’ is a common word? Three vegetables theme, answers are pea peas cep. Google hasn’t even heard of it. Wikipedia says it’s a name for a type of mushroom. Had to ask for a hint to get it. It’s counterproductive to include impossible words as theme words. Oh well, it’s free. Have played for months. Over time you learn quirks, like ‘Mises’ is a word (famous Austrian economist) but many common proper nouns are not. They lean heavily on some questionable terms, ‘rez’, ‘lex’, ‘dex’, so high point letters can be included. Playing on iPhone I find it personally irritating that you can’t turn off the HINT button, which I occasionally hit by accident. But it certainly seems a useful and challenging puzzler.

Addictive. I really like this game; it challenges you to think quickly and figure out how to get better scores. It's a game that can be played a few times and then put down, but it can also be played dozens of times in a session. No two games are ever the same. I also like seeing the score ladder and being inspired to earn a higher score. Like another reviewer posted, I wish there were an in-app dictionary so that players can look up the definition of words. I think that would vastly improve most player's ability to remember select words through greater association. Seeing all the words I missed doesn't really help me remember or learn from that experience; it just makes me realize where I am on the curve. I see those 50+ point words and I'm amazed that people could find them given the short duration of matches. Overall: fun, challenging, interesting

Good game but. I play my games without sound but when playing Wordament one ad, Toon Blast, always goes to sound. It starts with an option to turn the sound off but the last 5 seconds always has sound. All sounds are off in the game options and I always turn off sound on ads when it’s an option, but Toon Blast is always a problem. Please turn off the sound or take it out of ads—I’m really tired is having to shut off sound on my phone.

Strange objectives and broken. First off, the objectives are a bit unsatisfying. Instead of trying to find all the words, you are cut off after a certain score, and are trying to do things like find words using the corner letters or three letter or four letter words. The multi play is a bit more of the traditional play against the clock kind of thing, but the solo campaign seems weirdly casual in that there is no clock and you aren’t trying to find all the words and get cut off when you achieve the three objectives of each game. That would be ok, but when I got to the last puzzle of the first campaign “world” the game broke and I couldn’t play further. Even closing it and reopening it would just take me straight back to the same crash… no way to avoid it. So I had to uninstall it.

Addictive game. I really enjoy this game. I like that each game has slightly different goals. I would like the ability to get rid of the annoying repetitive ads, even for $$. My main complaint though is that the sound keeps turning itself back on. I like my games silent. Update: I have been paying for premium to get rid of ads which worked fine for a while, but now I am getting ads anyway. I have contacted the developer and Apple but get no reply. Frustrating.

Update killed it. I used to play Wordament all the time with my friends and family. I haven’t played in a while and I just checked back to see that the whole entire layout has changed, and how many unnecessary features there are. I get wanting to improve your game but this just straight up changed it. It doesn’t feel like the old Wordament, the fun one that I know. The old sound effects were better, the old layout was better, and just how simple it used to be was so much better. It’s still a fun game but the update really did kill the fun, simple vibe it used to have. If it weren’t for this update I would’ve left a 5 star review.

Ruined by subscription service. Well… I was really enjoying this game until I went to go pay to remove the ads and found that there was only a subscription. Are you people serious?? A subscription for a game like this? Unreal. That’s when I give up on a game. I would happily pay a one-time fee to remove ads, but I am NOT doing a stupid subscription. I wouldn’t pay $10, either. You guys are insane!! Oh, well. I had fun for a little bit…

A Wordament Facelift is Long Overdue. Has the creative team that originally developed Wordament left Microsoft or moved on to other projects? Nothing has changed many years now. Zero aesthetic creativity or feature improvements. Every map is literally just going back to the beginning of the same map. Where’s the “Adventure“ in that?Eventually, even endless AI-generated word puzzles start to feel repetitive. Some new scenery would at least create a more interesting illusion of going somewhere. And how about adding an in-app dictionary and other features to enhance the game’s vocabulary building benefits? At the very least, please give us more variety by finally developing a Microsoft Ultimate Word Games app for iOS instead of leaving us stuck with the browser version. If the current “if it ain’t broke, don’t change it” attitude continues, I will probably end my subscription.

What an awful idea.. SkyPaws27 here. I am so freaking mad over this new update. This was the ONE game I played. First, you messed up the statistics and lost more than half your players due to removing the Facebook connection and only allowing Xbox accounts (you went from 1,000 players at a time to barely 300). At that point I had played thousands of games and was miffed I had to create a new account. But the game was the same, so I sucked it up and began anew. And then you go and do this. WHY. No one likes this update. Put down whatever you were smoking when you decided this was a good idea. Unless your goal was to kill the app - in that case, congrats! But alas, I’m sure you don’t care. Players, it’s been a pleasure.

Getting used to the new version. I really liked to original version. It was clean and simple. And I loved seeing where the other players were from and their flags. Really miss that in the new version. Also been having problems playing on both my phone any my iPad. The app identifies that the data on my phone is different than my iPad when I say I was to use my iPad data it keeps saying it’s unable to sync my info. Frustrating! Also disappointed that the new version could not take my existing stats and assign my level. Despite having played this game since it was originally released I had to start at novice level 1.

Why did you have to destroy a perfectly good game?. Loved this game til the new version. Now it’s TERRIBLE! New colors w/poor contrast, tiny font & no holding where needed. Takes longer to make words, because unnecessary pop-up comments like “NICE!” block your view, wasting precious time. Not to mention even more ads. The time clock counter was redone to look like a mock old-fashioned flipover clock radio, resulting in extreme difficulty in determining the remaining time. Whoever redid this should be fired. Thank you so much for ruining a perfectly good game. Don’t see myself playing this anymore, unless you reinstate the former look & feel.

Needs v2. After 500 games the level of challenge hasn’t advanced. It should become more difficult. The action is sluggish with way too many delays in the cutesy animations even with all settings off. The app flips screens in between games instead of using popups so users lose visual anchors. Last, the numbers shown for level of play versus numbers shown on the path make no sense and appear unrelated - as in being rewarded by advancing to level 65 but returning to a circle on the map showing 43. That said, playing the game is smooth, reactive, and precise, exactly as it should be.

🤨. I have disappointments. 1) when I have game issues & need support, I don't appreciate being directed to the games FB page. I want an email, text or 800 # to call to address my issue. 2) I want an one- time reasonable fee to remove ADS off my game, not a subscription that renews every month or yearly. You making money running ADS on my device without compensating me. Can't enjoy game for ADS. 3) When ADS are running, they cut off my game completely and I have to reopen game. $3 or $4 max is sufficient for permanent removal of ADS from game. Good game; but your gouging isn't appreciated. I have to many Microsoft accounts I use and pay for to spend a whopping $11 every year; you ought to be using us $5 per AD @ least during game play.

was great now horrible do not get. the previous version of this from maybe a few weeks ago was phenomenal. simple interface clean fast and fun head to head multiplayer matchup with timed games. lightweight advertising at the bottom of the screen. fun and nice. the latest update has added the worst possible advertising - insultingly stupid unskippable videos of six to fifteen seconds each showing braindead click the matching color games that pop up randomly between games. the word games are still good but the advertisements in this case destroy the app. borderline unusable. I had given this five stars for simplicity and fun. downgraded to one on account of the incredibly intrusive ads. I'm not sure how much more I can stand before this gets deleted. too bad cuz it was one of my favorite apps.

Love this game!. I recently got bored with solitaire and wanted a different game to play. Downloaded this because I like Microsoft’s solitaire collection and thought this would be a good alternative. I really enjoy playing! I especially LOVE the daily challenges! I just wish that I could play previous months daily challenges because I find the daily challenges more entertaining than the regular adventures. Very few ads, which is great! Most last five seconds when they do happen.

App keeps crashing. Whenever I try to sync my iPhone with my iPad or vice versa, the app always crashes. I have to uninstall it and then download it again. This is something new that just started happening. I keep hoping that there will be a fix for this, so I’m just writing this to let the creators know. Otherwise I have been using this app for over three years after my stroke to help with coordination and memory and I absolutely love it please fix it so that I can continue to enjoy this app.

Turn off LOUD sounds for ads. I like the game make you think of unusual words, but the annoying sound for ads when I have sound off for the game have to go. Why can’t you turn off sound for ads like you do in Microsoft solitaire collections. Can’t play game away from home because of the annoying loud sounds for every ads. Furthermore did you verify the ads are not scams??? I accidentally tap on an ad and Norton popped up saying site is not safe. Please fix sound problem for ads!!!

Wordament. This game keeps the brain hopping! Even when I am still playing as a guest, I find the game interesting enough to play every day. There is one downside to playing as a guest. The Advertisements in between levels sometimes cut out and a glitch sends me back to my home page. So I have to re-load the game again. Other than that, this game is totally engaging! There are daily bonus games, different levels to play and quick games! Fun for anyone who likes learning and keeping the brain sharp!

Where are the Developers?. When I sign in I, as of a few weeks ago, my game appears to be frozen. The game simply won’t respond. I can only play as a guest now, which reverted me back to ‘novice’. I reached out to the game developer but heard nothing back. Also when you reach the top at the end of your challenge, the game boringly drops back to the bottom to begin again. Makes you feel like you’re starting over; definitely no cute or fancy graphics to make you feel a forward momentum, or graduation onto the next level. The developers never appear to improve the game. Finally, the counter doesn’t always add your points for discovered words. Lots of glitches! No new updates. Gets pretty boring after a point. At least the number and lengths of ads is not nearly as bad as most other games I pay to play by watching ads. Please, fix the glitches and improve, update, renovate the game.

I Love the Game, but.... The game is great. If you like Boggle (which I’ve played since it came on the market in the late 70’s) you will love this. The only problem is that Microsoft doesn’t update the game and you’re playing the same games over and over. With the millions of combinations of letters, the game has so much potential. My guess is that’s why there are so few players (and when it was taken off Facebook the number of players went from thousands to 250 at most.). Very sad. A little more advertising would help too. I see the same players every day. Potential is there but this is obviously not a priority to Microsoft...lol!

Really wish there was a little more to love about this. This is a great version of the classic word find boggle-style puzzle game. But the reason I am writing this review is that nothing about this game is difficult at all! There are so many levels with absolutely no progression of difficulty, no different than gimmicks, heck even all the different "maps" you unlock look the same! There are no timers, no move limits (in the main game), and while this lends itself to being played for a few minutes here and there, it's just lacking interest. Even some 5x5 levels would be a nice change of pace. It looks and plays great! I wish Microsoft had more games in this Casual series. But it's such a flat landscape with respect to challenge and progression.

Two problems found. I have neglected writing for a while now but they are beginning to annoy me. The program shuts down every once in a while. I don’t see any correlation between the stops. The program hangs up my iPad for a short time, 15 to 30 seconds then shuts down and I have to restart the program. If I am in a puzzle, the puzzle has to be restarted, nothing is saved. The other problem is when I am finally at the last gate, I cant open it. The access link is below the designated square. To get thru the gate, I switch to me iPhone. Fix these two problems and I will give 5 stars

Surprise Ads!. I’ve enjoyed Wordament for years. When I hoped it yesterday there was an ads to clear when I opened the app, then little ads are in the way, flashing as distractions I have plan this game ad free until I opened it. I find this change that requires a fee to rid myself of ads an unpleasant surprise. The app feels definitely when I play. If I previously paid to get rid of the ads I don’t see this app listed. I do not see a means to restore this APP. It would be helpful to know if this changed from free to a fee in this month, Jan 2021.

Won’t let me sign in with FB. I love these kinds of games and based upon the high rating, I thought I’d check it out. When I tried to sign up via my Facebook account, it took me 6 trues before I got to an actual Facebook sign in screen. Then when I signed in and accepted the terms via Facebook, your game told me that I lacked an internet connection. Funny - that’s the same screen I got the 6 previous times before you let me attempt my connection to Facebook. Being connected to the internet isn’t an issue but I suspect that your servers are having a challenge performing this task based upon the time of day/high traffic. Guess what though? I could play as a guest and no pesky messages about not having an internet connection. Oh well. I’m moving on to another game.

Needs work. UPDATE: Seriously do the developers not live in 21st century? Vape is a word 🙄😒Your dictionary is horrendous. —————- UPDATE: Someone seriously needs to update the dictionary for this thing. 🙄 Crème is a word. Sud is a word. Just because the word is 1) part of a proper noun 2) from a foreign country or 3) not a multiple doesn’t mean the term is incorrect. You can buy Crème Brûlée in America! And a singular version of soap suds would be a sud 🤦🏻‍♀️ Good grief ———— This needs work. As someone who plays a lot of word games this game can actually be stressful and negative compared to others as it will reject actual words based on the rules it sets. Sorry but that’s not helping learn vocabulary or developing mind cognition. Just aggravation and frustration

Great but needs to be improved. This game has such a great concept with the layout and the after game leaderboards. The only problem I have with it is that it's impossible to score high unless you know all of the uncommon words that are never used in our everyday language. I'm constantly playing half games because halfway through I can't find any words. After the game is finished, I find that the top scoring common words are still uncommon. I think they need to update their dictionary from the 1800's dictionary to the current dictionary

Addictive. This game is amazing. I'd like to see an additional "points per second" score added to the "average points per word" and "word count," but that's not that big of a deal. What else would be nice to see is "most common mistakes" along with the list of words. Only things that I actually have a complaint about though are: (1) It forces you to change to the leaderboard at a certain time; sometimes I want to look through the words more than look at the leaderboard or I'm not interested in seeing the words and just want the leaderboard. It'd be nice to freely switch between during the time between games. (2) I don't like the "you're guessing" time penalty. I get why it's there, but occasionally my finger just slips and selects a different letter, I just misspelled a word, or I thought something was a recognized word, such as a slang word or a name. Maybe, it could just be that we say the time they wasted on a wrong word is penalty enough. Biggest plus it that I haven't experienced a true bug yet; people keep saying it freezes at 23 seconds, but that's only happened to me if I lose my connection.

Were you high?. Who in the world thought that this new layout and game experience would be better than the old version? Because whoever it was, should be fired. I used to LOVE this game. My whole family did!! I even had friends that played and I loved having them as frenemies; it was fun seeing them randomly pop up at the end in leaderboard. It was so simple, clean, and just perfect. You got exactly what you came for. If not immediately then within the reasonable 120s(+/-?) countdown. You got to play. Nothing more nothing less. But now, every feature of this game that had made it beyond compare is now replaced with this poorly executed knock-off, void of any visual appeal, and if that wasn’t enough, don’t forget the hundred and one unnecessary gameplay add-ons that completely depreciate the value of the game. A++ for an equally inordinate and deficient app.

Redesign?. I miss the old Wordament. The old wordament was a clean, visually pleasing, and fun game. It was easy to play with family and friends. The graphics were pleasing to the eye, and not distracting. It was just well designed, with the end user experience in mind. This new wordament is designed around capturing your time, and along the way, makes some serious sacrifices. The old game is buried in the app. The design hearkens back to the 90s. I loved the old game, and would hate to disappoint the developers - but I cant recommend this app anymore. I hope it does well, and perhaps the current design will introduce wordament to a new and fresh audience. But this is not the wordament I was hooked on

2009 wants its app design back. I was thrilled to see Wordament finally get a long overdue update... until I opened the app and saw the awful new design. What was once a fairly beautiful, well-designed game with simple, unobtrusive banner ads is now a bloated mess with obnoxious ads that looks like it was ripped from the early days of the App Store almost a decade ago. While the online gameplay is still fun and the single player modes a welcome addition, the overall experience is less than the sum of its parts. Please, Microsoft, give me the option to pay for the game and remove the ads, and go back to the simple visual design of the original game!

Like the single play stuff but I want to cry. Love the new different ways to play. This is a much needed update after years of the same ol’ same ol’ which in hindsight was amazing. I love Wordament - 16,000 games of love. The biggest issue I have is the overlay of “Nice!” or “Excellent!” in the middle of a tournament. Who’s completely lousy idea was that???? I can’t see the letters underneath - which means I can’t make words which means I can’t make as many words as I used to! This is a game of speed (duh!) so why would you do something that hinders and slows down a gamer? Why? Why? Why? Contrast on the tiles is much harder for me to see the letter especially when I am trying to go fast. Why would you maker it harder? Also - the update look is outdated. It looked more modern and cool before - now you have buttons with gradients, bevels and dropshadows? What? Why would you do that? This is one of my favorite games ever - and the new game plays are fantastic (if kinda look-wise derivative and uninspired) - but you messed with the part that was already perfect. Microsoft overall is figuring out how to be innovative and relevant but this game improvement harkens back to another older era.

Addictive. I love this game! I’ve completed everything possible, but repeatedly go back to replay the daily challenges. I love the Balloon Pop expert ones, so I’m glad you can go back to previous dates, find and play them, and that they’re not the same puzzles. The only complaint I have is that I’ve looked repeatedly for ways to submit words that aren’t in the game (just a couple), but can’t find any way to contact them. It would be nice to be able to submit words or other suggestions.

Interesting approach to a casual word game.... I love the casual approach. I prefer the Microsoft Sudoku game to this, but enjoy them both. I thoroughly enjoy the challenge; many times a daily challenge resulted in a do-over because I cleared with too long or short a word causing me to miss points on the next word or three. Definitely a game for casual play. The only thing I don't like is that being an Xbox GamePass Ultimate subscriber, I don't get ad free here. I already pay ad-free on M Sudoku, and GPU, and now you want another ad-free sub? Screw that!

Greed made this game worthless. Thank you for destroying a game I used to love. The update claimed it was to “fix minor bugs and crashes”. Instead its purpose was to Create Ads that CAUSE crashes! In the 6 years I have been playing Wordament has Never once crashed. And Never previously had ads. I loved it since it was one of the few word games I could play offline. I am frequently in situations where I don’t have internet access or even cell signal. Now the game plays preloaded ads that you cannot escape, skip or get past. Thanks for destroying a game I used to love. Nice to be reminded that the Mircosoft corporation and Xbox are so greedy that they would lock up their own game just to get paid a few pennies for running constant ads.

Used to be descent... until the Ad Avalanche. It is disappointing that the MS team has decided to require you to watch an ad between EVERY puzzle. It used to only pop adds after a few puzzles. So irritating. Also, they way they allow you to jump into the middle of an ongoing live competitive match can really mess with your personal stats. Just because I got put into a match with only 10 seconds remaining should NOT be allowed to negatively affect my stats. Only games that a user joined at the BEGINNING of a 2 minute match should be allowed to impact their stats. Also, the live “players” who tend to win the multiplayer matches appear to be bots - that either MS tosses in as virtual players, or there is some kind of technical cheating going on (compare the scores and stats at the end of a multiplayer match and decide for yourself if it is *humanly* possible to get the winning scores shown). The app was great when it came out, but has slowly degraded to its current form. Very disappointing.

The old version was better. It seems like I used to score better in the previous version. There are a bunch of useless and distracting bells and whistles on this revision. I enjoyed seeing the country flags and the three letter country codes. I used to look up the codes to identify the countries and added some to my geo knowledge. Some of my frenemies seem to have disappeared ... maybe they preferred the previous version. Or maybe there is a way to get the “classic” version and I haven’t figured that out yet? Really, I don’t need endless levels of what is it? novice, apprentice, seasoned, advanced, what? I know I’m aiming for #1 and I hope to get there eventually, so please don’t waste my time giving me a bunch of useless tiers and cheering me on. Thanks for the opportunity to share my opinion.

Fantastic!. Microsoft Wordament is one of the most underrated games out there! A hidden gem of absolute awesomeness. I’m so surprised that this game hasn’t garnered a following of millions! This game is so relaxing and fun to play. You can’t help but get addicted! It’s easy enough to play that you won’t get frustrated and discouraged, yet difficult enough to keep you interested. Most word games are either ridiculously easy or mind-numbingly hard. This is the first word game I’ve found that I actually love. I can’t get enough of it!

Nice campaign mode, preferred original for multiplayer. The new single player campaign is fun, however the new multiplayer feels slower and more awkward than the original even with the disruptive animations turned off, and the treatment of repeats and unrecognized words is harder to distinguish from phone screen touch issues. Also a terrible shame to suddenly lose all score history stats with the upgrade, that was hundreds of hours of progress for me including a couple world #1s, still a great game overall.

Love the game. I love to play the multiplayer game of Wordament. It keeps me on my toes with vocabulary words. The only thing is there seems to be a large amount of bots playing. Too many words possible for a human to type/think of in the amount time provided. It makes the competitive part of me hate the game. I, nor any real person can compete with a computer. I still play, but with disappointment. In addition, sometimes the themed games are lacking. For example, the other day the theme of the puzzle was “nose” but no credit was given for “nares.” Really? Just got done playing a game with the theme, “occupations” but the word “potter” gave no extra points. That being said, if you can ignore the “Leaderboard” in the game and just try to beat your own record it’s a fun game.

Good, what would make this great ... What's good - unique and addictive format, multiplayer w ability to match up against friends, simple but clever user experience. Been playing for over a year. Yet it can be rather frustrating after a bit.. Now what I really wish it had - the biggest thing missing is the ability to play non-timed version, maybe as an option, with ability to suspend and resume, or at least allow users to set different times instead of hard wiring to 2 minutes. Especially while learning the game. Second, the game does not know all words - make it simpler to nominate words that are missing from the dictionary. Third, would be great to have in-app logging to track your performance.

Too many loud obnoxious video ads!. The game can be fun to play, especially the Daily Challenges - Gem Collector. I don’t begrudge someone for monetizing their development efforts through advertising. HOWEVER - When the developer of the app gives you a setting allowing you to disable sounds so you don’t bother others around you while playing, and yet they allow video ads to play that contain audio that doesn’t care about the app settings that have the sound disabled-it seems rather inconsiderate (and annoying), in addition to creating disruptive and embarrassing situations. Don’t give me that old tired line about not being able to control the audio in the video ads. You can control it by not allowing video ads!

Good ideas in the latest update, but execution is lacking. I like the new options for styles of game play in this latest update. However, the game is now a lot slower and a battery hog to boot. Playing fast for high word count is a lot harder due to lag, even when connected to wifi. The compliments it gives you when you do well (is there an actual name for those?) also interfere with speed because they obscure the board and also lag. The graphics and visual style may also contribute to the performance issues, since they are a lot more complex (unnecessarily so in my opinion) than previously. The game is also much less visually distinctive now, and its style blends in with every other game out there that I don’t play due to general spaminess and battery hog issues. My suggestions are to simplify the graphics, distill everything so it’s focused on game play rather than a debatably pretty package, and remove any other unnecessary “features” causing performance issues.

Long ads, weird words. This is basically a pretty fun word search puzzle, that gets progressively harder as you move through the steps. However, I have two big gripes: lately all the ads are 30 seconds long, much longer than I’m willing to sit through. And many of the “words” it expects you to find are so obscure that even with my graduate level vocabulary, I’ve never heard of them. So lately, after I find all the familiar words, I just resort to plugging in every combination that could conceivably be pronounced in English. If I feel like. it, I can look up the meaning, but they’re usually never a word I’d want to add to my vocabulary: the name of some obscure fish, or the archaic Scottish word for something. That makes it into a different kind of game, which I guess is OK too. I prefer the New York Times’ Spelling Bee, but you can’t binge-play that one!

Nice game but a MAJOR, MAJOR FLAW. I absolutely love this game. I quite enjoy the fact that there is nothing to buy or any money to spend. A lot of these games are hogs for money. Like I read in another review it’s a very simple game, I love it. However, I have a major flaw issue! Every time I get to the 80th game and it’s time to play that mass bonus it freezes up. At first I just had to uninstall it and then reinstall it. Now after every 80th game it freezes completely so I have to uninstall it and reinstall it three or four times. I switch from my iPad to my iPhone but now it doesn’t update. What I mean is I had a level of 200 grandmaster. When I went back to my iPhone from my iPad it was lowered at 197. It is no longer updating. Please fix this. I should not have to uninstall my game from my iPad or my iPhone. Why does it do this??? It doesn’t move to the spot where I can tap to proceed. The black part covers the gate I need to tap.

Wish i didnt update.. Ive deleted this now. Its a shame as I quite enjoyed the simplicity and speed of the original version. Personally not a fan of the new aesthetics but thats just cosmetic. The real deal-breaker for me was that the new version really felt slow/sluggish on my iphone 8 and that had a quite a negative impact on my scores. It really begs the question... Was such radical change really necessary?

Enjoyable. An enjoyable puzzle word game with enough difficulty to keep one’s attention.

We love Wordament- a fantastic, addictive word finding game. If you want a fast, fun and totally addictive word game that's a bit like racing boggle but better and more interesting, then you have to try Wordament. I haven't stopped playing this app in months. Racing in real time against other players around the world, it's easy to play and see everyone else's scores. A brilliant game- for a free app that gives hours and hours of fun, you can't beat it. Occasionally site doesn't update fast enough to join a round but it's logical and generally well designed.

Words and words. Hours and hours of brain training in a fun way.

Please change. Please change that in quick play you can’t keep playing the same one if you want to!!!! It doesn’t give an option to stay

Fun and relaxing. I don’t know quite what’s going on with all the experience and coins and whatnot but the core game experience is well-made, and the daily challenge modes really spice it up. I quickly started paying to remove ads - great to have the option.

Crashes when trying to open daily challenges. Love the game . Since 1st august i have been unable to open daily challenges. Everything else works fine. Have done the recent update and still crashes Great game though, hope you can fix the crash. Iphone 8 - IOS 12.3.1

Great game, a fun time waster.. There are some tricky levels with words that don’t actually exist but I guess we all can’t be perfect.😎

Way too many ads…. Nice way to kill time, but recently the Microsoft boffins have plopped a stupid amount of ads before you can even play…so it was a nice way to kill time, but now I don’t play, just to avoid the annoying ads…the same reason I don’t play any Microsoft games anymore…f’ing ads ruin everything!!

Addictive - bugs?. Of late, it keeps losing internet connection and by the time it reloads the clock on the next game has already started.

The game I have been looking for.. This is the game I have been looking for. I am not lockedinto finding the words that the developer wants me to. The gameplay is freeform and not time bound. Perfect in every way.

Wordament. Thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the work out for my aging brain. Did like the earlier version but on the new phone can only get the new version. But I've become accustomed to it. Thanks for the activity, it's great.

Please fix. Love the new challenges, but the playable pop up ads freeze and you can’t get out of them. So I try to reopen but same ad...... please fix for us die hard puzzlers.

Repetitive, too many ads. Has potential, too repetitive, too many ads, boring ‘world maps’, unfortunately missed the mark. Could have been a candy crush with words.

Fun game, but.... A fun game to kill time but playing multiplayer is frustrating when you see the top scores of a round and winners consistently have “found” over 120 words, which is impossible considering it’s 2 minute/120 second rounds. While it doesn’t really bother me, it does take away any drive to actually try since it’s all pretty much expected you’ll not win regardless of how good a round you have.

Great game but relentless adverts.... The game itself is fun to play - but the adverts in between games and when the apps starts are relentless and pointless. An organisation like MS doesn’t need the money, so the only conclusion I can make for the adverts is that they are a form of blackmail to coerce you into a subscription. Pffft....

Freezes. Love this game but am frozen on level 80 won’t let me progress & collect a bonus. Tried deleting app & downloading app again but still frozen. I’m signed in to the cloud.

Adventure Maps. Why do we have to wait so long for the next adventure maps? And why is it not possible to have a whole series of them again?

I love the game but.... The ads are really intrusive and even popped open a safari instance to go out of the game. I want to be able to play with the little guy but the ads aren’t age appropriate even though it’s a 4+ app. I would like to buy an ad free version but can’t figure out how you do that. Microsoft should be ashamed of itself for putting its brand on this hame when it so clearly violates many of Microsoft’s own App Store policies.

Super simple yet addictive!. A very simple game, and very addictive! It would be good if there was a mode that wasn't timed, like casual word searching. But otherwise great! Learn new words too! That comment about it not being user friendly and stuff....no idea what he's on about? Because it couldn't be more simple and straightforward, not to mention the instructions are very clear.

Unknown. Fun game for when your bored and have nothing to do and easy gamer score for Xbox

Sign in. The game I like - easy to navigate; just need to think. My iPad won't let me sign in through FB or Xbox and tech support in this page directs you to a page that has been moved: so no help to be found

Extremely addictive. This has been my go to game for about 2 months and I'm still hooked and loving it. The app sometimes has trouble staying connected to the Internet.

A simple game but good enough to keep the active.. Highly recommend.

Brain game. Don’t spend much time “playing “ but a bit of wordament brain work makes me feel good.

Deleted It. Enjoyed the old version. Simple word game without all the other interference. The developers are right. The new version is a completely new environment. Should’ve launched it is an entirely different app and kept the old one for those of us who just wanted a word game. I’ve deleted the app now.

Relaxing game. For once a mobile game I actually enjoy that’s not bombarded with 10million ads!

Great, Addictive, and fun!. Wordament is a bit like Sudoku but it's on your device! And instead, it does most things for you. On Wordament, you must swipe on certain letters trying to form a word. Example: The word is "Orange" and you see this: GOR RAN OGT GEL You can earn Xbox achievements if you sign into your account, which is the reason I got this. But later, played it just for fun! This is massively recommended for achievement hunters, it's a free 50G! You play with people online. Very good for the brain, plus I learned a few New English words and a bit of different languages from changing my language. The only thing bad is: You can’t play offline, other than that, it's a great game! I highly recommend you get this addictive game!

Wordament question.. Why did you change the game? Now there’s no timers which is awesome! But why. When I first found out I would play it every day when I got the chance but now it’s confusing!

What is happening?. I’ve used Wordament as my only game for years and now I have to reinstall the app every time I use it because it won’t load ( I once left it for 20 mins) or reinstall and start from the beginning and repeat the same puzzles!? What’s happening???

New version is nigh unplayable. Apart from the 30s loading screens, you’re forced to play single play tutorials for a single player “adventure” no one asked for. When you finally find the multiplayer section, you’ll be presented with another loading screen and an unskippable 20s video ad When finally in the game proper you’ll notice there is horrible background music, extra crappy sound effects and jarring animations that didn’t used to exist but worst of all is just how laggy it all is - the original was designed to work on low performance windows phones, this new version is obviously only designed for those with the latest flagships. RIP wordament

Nice game, but.... I really enjoy the game, and it was a good change to add the solo and daily challenge modes. However, the rewards you earn along the way for these are just weird... why earn coins? They don’t do anything. Why have experience levels? There’s no effect for those either. It would be nice to be able to use coins earned for something, maybe cosmetic tile or boards. Maybe to unlock additional challenges, etc. I dunno, but the whole concept of rpg style concepts mixed in with the main game feels weird.

Can we rollback?. Don’t like the update. What happened to the country for each gamer? Used to like to see how I was going against other gamers in my country. The colors make it difficult to see, especially the leaderboard. The flashes of great etc interfere with game play. Please can we rollback to the previous version

Lost data. Wordament app seized up. I deleted and reinstalled. Now I am on level 87, while I was on level 97 before issue. How to fix please. Just seized up again. Have gone back to 108, when I was 111. Time to try another game.

Great game! How can I stop the ads?. I love playing the game, but would like it even more if I didn’t have to endure the tedious advertisements. Why not allow us to buy the app, to free us from that tedium?

Sandra. PLEASE!!! give us back the option for a smaller grid that is missing from the new version. I can’t get anywhere with the large grid. Otherwise it’s a great game!

Word games. Great games in the beginning but as you advance into the maps they are all the same at every level - cut and pasted 🌷Minnie

Ruined with the updates. LOVED this game, then they almost completely changed it. I put off updating for as long as I could, but the old version isn’t supported anymore. 😭 Why wreck and remove a good thing? You could have just put up your new version and NO ONE WOULD THINK ITS THE SAME GAME! the new version is annoying and over complicated, lots of bells, whistles and ads. So peeved.

New game play is awesome. I always liked to play wordament but struggled to make 50% on the leaderboard. The new version is much more rewarding and great that single player is now available enabling you to play at your own pace.

Addictive. Thoroughly enjoy the game although must admit preferred older version working against the 2 minute clock.

Premium subscription. I have had this game for a year now and paid for premium subscription, however I still get ads from time to time which is very annoying and not good enough considering what you pay for premium. Please fix this

Enjoyable word game. Ads are annoying but you can always purchase an ad peer version I guess. But lol the same a enjoyable game looking forward to the difficulty of the higher levels

Words!. I’ve been playing this game for years, back when it was a multiplayer/leaderboard game only. It’s always my go to game before going to sleep at night, I’ll generally play a few games as it’s stimulating but not stressful. Addition re this month: My favourite part of this game is the daily challenges. But this month almost every one is easy! Sure, I wouldn’t want them to be all hard/expert either, but having 2-3 of the challenges every day as easy is just a bit too simple. Give us our challenges back please! (Only reason why I’ve given it 4 stars instead of 5)

Issues with new layout. The new update is awful, very unappealing. I’m still having login issues as well, which I’ve had for months before this update, and it looks like that hasn’t even improved. Poor effort, guys. The old Wordament was fantastic, not sure why it needed such a drastic change.

Microsoft Wordament. While this is a very exciting and interesting game to play, the one thing that I don’t like about it is the commercials. As I already pay a monthly subscription to enable me to play the Casual Card Games, couldn’t this game also be included in my subscription and therefore get rid of the commercials? I think that would encourage a lot more players to get this game.

We used to be friends. A long time ago we used to be friends but then you went all commercial and now you’re a stranger to me.

Not iPad compatible for maps. I love this game but when I play the maps on my iPad, I can’t open the last gate on the map as the gate doesn’t line up with the clickable area of the screen. I have to swap to my iPhone to progress through the gate, and hope that my progress has saved properly. I often have to redo several levels when I swap devices.

Gone Downhill - Too Many Ads. The new game modes are interesting but spoilt by the full screen ads that you can't get rid of. There isn't even the option to pay and make them go away. Sorry, I really want to play this game but haven't got the time or patience for ads so have deleted it.

Was a good game!. Now there are too many ads and the ads go forever. Quick play games are never updated the are too repetitive. Don’t subscribe you are just wasting money

Frustrations. Regular errors with cloud sync, probably once I got to level 300. Has been broken for years so assume Microsoft removed the developers a long time ago and are just keeping the app available for ad revenue.

I like. Wordament .because it helps my brain to stay active.

Level 300 is the limit. Please Microsoft add some more Xbox achivements and more levels. I reached the maximum level which is 300.

J’adore. Super jeu

Addictive. Loads of entertainment, and enjoyment, excellent game

Love Wordament. Good Brain exercise. I use every day. Many times a day.

Wordament. Done them all, now what?? Really disappointing and ads chosen to support this were barf material.

More maps. Why is there no new adventure maps available. This is not showing good support for the players

Word. Very educational

Can’t go past level 80. I’m on the “you’ve collected enough stars to open the gate! Tap here to open.” Screen, but when I tap nothing happens. Can’t even press on my account or the maps button or anything. Even the sound effects tell I’m tapping. Very disappointed because this is my favourite game.

No ads with game pass!. Please make it happen like solitaire please!

Not happy. Opened and have gone back to Map 1…….was enjoying up to this point.

Awesome games, BUT!. Very enjoyable games, but I wish it was possible to access prior calendar months for more daily challenge play. The Microsoft Solitaire app offers that to its ad-free purchasers, so why not Wordament? I wish I hadn’t purchased a year ad-free.

Microsoft Wordament. Fun

Jeu amusant 👌💗. Jeu amusant

Too many ads. Love the game but the 30 second video ads are too long and come up too often. I wish you could just buy the game and not have to do a monthly subscription because if you could just buy it I would. But I’m not going to pay monthly for this.

Fun. Good game

Wordament. Checked in today and have gone from map 16 back to map 1. Not very happy.

Love the game. It would be nice to have the words we found in alphabetical order. We need to search all of the list to check if a word is find. Also, I do want to thank you for this marvellous game. 🙂

Freeze. I love this game. However every time I get to level 252 out of 255 the app freezes. This happens in both the paid and guest formats. Very disappointing.

Awesome Game!. Love this game, keeps my brain active!

Wordament. Love the game. Highly addictive in my case.

Wordament. Un jeu plaisant qui demande de la concentration et de la déduction et connaître son français. Merci de nous divertir.

Best word game out there. I play word games every day and this game is HANDS DOWN the best one out there! I am well into it and I have yet to find one single complaint and its fun. Thanks to the developers!

Super fun. Addicting and engaging.

Dictionnaire français pas à jour. Par exemple, je n'ai pas pu faire les mots "dix" ou "puit". J'aime bien le jeux, mais le fait qu'il ne reconnaisse pas des mots très simples = turn off!

ios wordament is incomplete. ios wordament is not windows wordament. the two app have scores that track independently and ios doesn’t have crosswords, etc found in the windows versions. why not the same?

My favourite game. Love this game

Paid, for waft?. I’ve been an avid player of this game for a long time. I paid for it because I felt any game I play regularity is worth it - the creators should be paid. However, the other reason is so that I don’t get ads. Well - looks like Microsoft got greedy and now is forcing me to watch ads on top of the payment. I am going to see if I can find boggle or a comparable game.

Frenemies. Would like to add frenemies to my Wordament game. Can I do this? Please explain how. Thanks, John

Glitch?. Why am I getting ads now? Ive been subscribed to premium for two years and am paid up until sept 15 2022. Went from 5star to less than zero star. Fix this please.

No cloud sync. Great game (apart from the annoying ads) - but for months now cloud sync is failing. On current iOS 16 - I think earlier versions of 16 were fine, so no idea what’s going on. Have signed out and back dozens of times with no change. MS games support site is useless.

Needs more themes. Get a blue tiled theme in there

Don’t play at night. If you enjoy winding down at night by playing this sort of game, be warned that Wordament has random video ads that ignore your device settings for volume. I enjoy this sort of game, and I have my volume down, off, and my phone in Do Not Disturb mode, but this game plays random video ads (for gambling, no less) that still get around my settings. There’s nothing like having some EXTREMELY loud, garbage video ad blast me into wakefulness. Also, this game gets minimal developer attention, does not have night mode, and it ignores the color inversion options to always display intensely white play screens. This is *not* a night-friendly game.

Obnoxious very long ads and excessive cost to remove. I’m not paying every month or year just so I don’t have to frequently sit and wait a minute for full screen ads to finish playing. The pricing is completely out of line. It’s not like the new content is difficult to produce. I’d bet it’s almost entirely computer generated.

Disappointed. I’ve been playing this game for months and had completed a lot of the levels … now for some reason it’s dumped me back to level 1 … not happy

Wordament. Challenging puzzles help pass the time!

Great game until the adventure froze. Can still play the Quick Play. Fast paced and fun!!

Disappointed. Wordament- suddenly a different icon, and back to L 1 from 78. ???????

Super jeu. Très stimulant! J’adore!

Strange. Gives me points for words I make up. Not real words. Yet it doesn’t recognize valid words. Not well thought out.

Can’t go past level 80. Cannot go past level 80 on my iPad. Have to log into the game on my phone, go to the next level, before I can use it on my iPad again. Very annoying. Good game otherwise.

Wordie. Great game, challenges your brain!

Wordament. After they updated can’t logon

Subscription based scam. Keeps your ads

Update sucks. Now there are ads of course. The number of players was going down for a long time so an update was thought necessary. What were they thinking though? Looks like candy crush now and stupid pop up words of praise appear when you score big obscuring the tiles so you can't continue at the pace you were going at. Sad. Was a great game.

Too many ads. Great game if you didn’t have to sit through two minutes of ads to get to the next levels. Ads come in very loud, a hazard for everyone who has headphones on. Ads (some) also contain flashing lights that can be hazardous to anyone. ***Remember the big debacle in Japan with this same issue.*** Apple, Microsoft, you know better and could have done sooo much better. Sorry to have to delete this game.

Word game. It’s actually a fun relaxing game

Addictive. NO ADS!!!. Love it.

Nice little game. Didn’t even know this game existed. Really nice little word game.

Was a great game until greed came into the latest update. Fun and a regular part of my morning, but I’m on my way out after years of playing this app. Greedy developers only want more money so ads are now a huge problem with the latest update. So disappointing when a good thing goes bad.

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!

Good game with flaws. November 2018 brings a lot of changes to Wordament for iOS, which previously offered only multi-player mode. The new update offers several single player modes, which is a welcome addition. Along with a new graphic look, the iOS app is now quite similar to the PC version, which is part of “Ultimate Word Games” It’s all a bit jarring at first, but is quite nice once you give it a chance. What’s not so nice is that it does not sync with PC game data. You start at level 1 no matter what level you’ve achieved playing on your computer. Let’s hope this is corrected, and this game works like it should. Update January 2019.. Premium subscriptions are now offered, but are completely separate from the Windows app, and game data remains separate as well. A real disappointment.

Problem Solved!. I really enjoy this game, and liked the variety of word puzzles. When the Daily Challenge part stopped working, I wrote to the developers a couple of times and at first got no response. It took more than a week to fix the glitch, but now that it's working again, I am back to loving the game.

Good game!. I am enjoying this game a lot, really gives my brain some exercise. Now if only Microsoft would also port the Jumbles game over to the iPad. I have a few suggestions for improvements, though. 1) Provide a way to get the definition of a word. Some words I know are words, but don’t know the exact meaning. Sometimes I accidentally play a word I didn’t even know existed. 2) Provide a way to get a list of all the words I’ve played, along with the number of times I’ve played it. 3) I usually only get a small fraction of the total number of words for a puzzle. How about a way to see those other words? If not all of them, then at least a few. That would be a great way to learn new words! Thanks!

Was fun for a while. Reached level 21 of world 1 when it said I had enough stars to open the gate, and to “click here” to continue. But no matter where I clicked, the game would not progress. Nothing worked. Everything came to a screeching stop right there. I tried closing the game and restarting… it came right back to where it was. I tried deleting the game, then downloading again… same results. How can this be fixed?

Login. This game is amazing and I love it, but the app won’t let me login to fb. I sign in with the correct information and it takes me to a screen that says internet connection is lost. Try back again in a few minutes. I tried back again, I removed the app and re downloaded it and it still would not let me log in. I love this game but half the fun is playing against friends and comparing scores. Putting this here in hopes the developers see it. If this problem gets fixed I will gladly switch to a five star review. Thanks!

Why the changes?. I’ve been playing this for years. I haven’t been able to sign in for probably 5 or 6 years since I think my account got mixed up with someone else’s. It’s frustrating but I’ve played as a guest for years. I just opened the game and it is totally different. I just like the old game. But I gave it a go. I don’t like how the game ends when you get so many things done. I’m still finding words but I’ve hit some milestone and game over. I tried again to sign in but after jumping through all sorts of hoops still unable to sign in as a named player. No savings stats for me. I don’t need all the glitzy changes. I don’t need feel good points.

Bad update, screen sensitivity issue.. I used to play the original version of this game all the time and actually got quite good (consistently top 10), but since this new version has come out it is not the same. The sensitivity on the touch screen is very spotty and a lot of times I have to re-swipe words 2 or 3 times before it picks up all the letters. This was never a problem with the old version and it has nothing to do with my phone. Please fix the sensitivity issue or at least give an option where the old version is still available.

Beautiful Game Turned to Ad-centric Mediocrity. This game was a five star game with elegant and simple graphics that was fast, easy to play and fun. It has turned from a simple quick world-play word game into a bloated set of games with reset user accounts, graphics any respectable designer would avoid, and ad-based interjections with opportunities to up-sell you on a paid subscription service for gaming. It’s as if someone else took this game over and tried to figure out the most mediocre way to profit from it. Think of it like your favorite movie or movie franchise ruined by sequels made of stupid scripts and horrible direction.

Fun game, but bugged for Premium player. It’s certainly a fun game that I play daily, but there is a scoring bug. If you complete all the daily challenges, it will show you going the bonus points for the day. However, when you return to the main challenge screen, the extra points you get for being a premium member disappear. Not something to make me quit playing, but disappointing in losing a ton of progress points each month.

I have played this game almost every day for 3yrs now.. I love words and boggle type games like this. If ya’ll developers are open for suggestion though, I’d love to see s definition of the word appear when you click on it at the word tally screen. Some of the obscure words are awesome and I love looking them up, it’d be neat to have the answer immediately on the final score screen.

Great game but…. I’ve been playing this for years and love it. However since my last apple upgrade 17.1.1, it no longer syncs with iCloud. I was not able to find any link or way to contact customer support. I tried deleting the app and re-downloading it. Now it won’t even load. There is a pop up that asks to allow tracking, which I will NOT do. If that is the only way to play the game, I guess I’ll have to find something else.

Game messes up. Ok so here I am enjoying the game but when I pass level 80 and proceed to the next level the game messes up. In order to move beyond level 80 you have to pass through a gate. A screen pops up and says to tap on a treasure chest but when you tap on it nothing happens. I cannot move forward. I am stuck on the screen that says tap here. I have closed the app, reopened it and nothing happens. I would not recommend this game for that reason. It’s disappointing. Seriously how do you overcome the screen that says tap here?!? How do you move on pass level 80?!?

Great but new design flaw. Addictive great game. But your new design prevents those of us with the new iOS XR from seeing info on the very top - seconds to play, what the game theme is. This phone has an entire clean screen except for the very top and that is where needed info is. Someone should look into that and figure out how to make it visible again. Game is now very compromised.

Great game if you like word games. This is fun and the controls are simple and feel smooth. I can see myself spending a lot of time with this game. I like the concept of the tournaments going on even if I'm not playing. The only complaint I've had is that every time I hit sign in with Facebook it crashes on me. I really want to sign in with it but I have to play as guest until this is fixed. Thanks for the great game.

Too easy. Completing the levels is just too easy. The only slightly more tricky are either the bonus games or the very end. Some of the themed challenges are a little better but not by much. I like to be challenged and repeatedly having to find 5 three letter words is far too simplistic. Especially when for so many levels the letters SEA&T are grouped together. I still have some of my year’s subscription still to run but I’ve cancelled that now and deleted the game.

Good game but.... After a while the “Adventure” puzzles become redundant. I wish the type of puzzle in the “Daily Challenges” were available outside the calendar mode. I prefer those, so one a day is just frustrating. The multiplayer mode is really limited, too. It would be nice if in addition to the leaderboard based play, you could play head to head against random and user selected players. There doesn’t seem to be to be a title beyond “Grandmaster”. It’s like they don’t expect users to play their game more than a few months. That’s a simple fix that will appeal to the need to achieve! The interface is simple and intuitive. That said it could stand a little pizzazz, as long as they keep it intuitive and ensure it doesn’t upstage the game play.

Not dictionary words for most three letter words. I really like this puzzle, but I don’t like the price, and two grammar issues: A. Three letter words are not dictionary words. They are not even slang... it is very frustrating to be looking for word patterns that don’t exist B. Many dictionary words and names can be found but are not in the database. Still enjoyable, but not at the price they are asking for. This is getting worse and worse. Eew?

Great game!. It's a clever game. Very fun and very addictive! I'd like to see the time between the list of words and the rank of the players be a parameter that can be set by the user. I have no interest in seeing where other players are ranked but I'd like to have more time to explore the words that I didn't get in the puzzle.I also like to be able to tap on the word and get its definition. But overall it's a super game and a lot of fun!

Great Game. I started playing this game a couple of months ago and I like it a lot. But there is one thing I would like to see is the ability to sync the mobile version of this with my desktop version. Is that possible?

Terrible revamp of a once great game. I get that they want to be all hip and cool. But developers dropped the ball with this one. The music between games is so dumb and boring. It’s a stupid lazy piano ditty just lilting along as the seconds tick by. The graphics during game play are even more annoying. I guess I’m not like the hip cool gamers of today. I don’t need to see “Great job” in writing every time I find a five letter word. Those dumb messages cover the board! It’s a timed game! Let me see the whole board for Pete’s sake! Then they slowly fade away. They should have left the game alone.

Good....but. The game play is good. I find the three different wickets to achieve before you move on to be challenging, but not too challenging. And if someone were to be so inclined, they can skip to the next puzzle after completing one of the three wickets. The only thing I would like to see is the option to buy out of ads the way Microsoft has it setup on Solitaire.

Updated review.... Now that the daily challenges work again I am happy to give the app a 5 star review. It is one of the best word games without a doubt. I don't have a lot of time for games so a five minute break with Wordament is perfect. I would love it if we could click on words to quickly see the definition. I know I've spelled some words that I haven't the foggiest idea of what they mean.

Unwanted changes. The changes to the results screen don’t make sense. If you finish in 17th place, you see the 1st thru 15th place on top and you see 10th thru 15th on the bottom. That’s not an improvement. And they replaced Top 10% finishes with # of first place finishes. What percentage of players have even one first place finish? It’s the same handful of players who always finish first so the overwhelming majority of players will ALWAYS have ZERO first place finishes.

Great word game. Love playing. Level increases in difficulty is good. However, in my case, as you advance you gain titles as you go and it seemed that passing a number of levels was consistent with the new title you received. I have been at the Grandmaster title for an inordinately long time even though I have been solving levels consistently as before. Is Grandmaster the highest you can go?

Fun for the whole family, or alone!. I got this to keep my mind sharp...er😝 Its like Boggle, only even more fun, with starred words, online worldwide competition, continuously running games! You may log in one day and start in the middle of a game, because the world is always playing! But it's fine, the rounds are short and a new start is moments away!

Great game but improvements needed!. I love a game where I can really use my brain and this one is very addictive, BUT…it gets so repetitive and they need to add some pizazz to make it more interesting. A dictionary would be good. Also mix it up more. I’m so tired of words being similar and it’s not challenging enough!! Give us advanced levels!

What Happened?. I was able to play ideally for quite some time. Then one day....BAM!....no more!! Is this a technical issue or? There hasn’t been any information, as a player, what to do to assist with this issue. Guess will just uninstall and forget about it. Sad part is that I truly enjoyed this game. Update** Am now currently able to play. All good! Thanks for fixing whatever the bug problem was!

Great game. As boggle type games go this is my favorite so far. Quick games, good competition with lots of players, scrabble words so real game practice, nice stats without overdoing it. This game is nice and simple for game play and doesn't try to overdo it with extras. Of course your rank is highly dependent on how many Scrabble words you know and how much you want to learn. I just came back after not playing for awhile And I love the updates

Freezes a LOT!!!. I love the game however, it freezes up a lot and I cannot make any progress for days or in some cases over a week. The seems to happen whenever I am leveling up, the message displays stating that I can open the gate but no matter how many times I tap it, it never opens! I’ve restarted my iPad attempting to force it to unfreeze but it doesn’t work. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Blasts ads. I gave this two star even though it’s my favorite game. That’s because it blasts ads really loud even though I set the game on mute. I like to play before I go to sleep or if I wake up in the middle of the night. I can’t tell you how many times this woke up my husband in terror from these extremely loud ads. If the sound is turned off all the sound should be off. Earbuds are out of the question. The ads would probably make me deaf or give me a heart attack. So I cannot play this game at night.

could be much better. This is a great opportunity to be educational by displaying word definitions but no. The bonus round is not bonus since you have to complete it to get full score. Many repetitions due to puzzles being hand made instead of randomly generated. E.g. words ending in -tion. You can count on "ration" to be one of the answer. Things can be made better but nobody has bothered. It's an ok but not great game, so I give it an ok but not great rating.

Entertaining. I’ve enjoyed playing this. I believe it helps keep my mind sharp. BUT! Do not let your young kids play this, thinking it will help them learn words! I don’t know what dictionary they’re using to get the “words” they use, but many, possibly even most, are not in any dictionary I own. Some are very archaic words, some are foreign words, and some, imo, are just made up because they kinda, sorta, look like they should be words. I have not figured out what criteria they use, nor their source.

Good game horrible implementation of ads.. The game itself is extremely fun and I play it mostly because it allows me to unlock Xbox achievements. However the way that they display ads is ridiculously annoying to the point where it makes me stop playing. I would definitely pay for an ad free version if it was an option because the ads which horribly play sound every single time also end up freezing the loading bar leaving fully quitting the app the only option.

What happened?. LOVED the old game. The new one is okay but is slower. The results pages are poorly designed now - difficult to read because the writing is small and faded Worse - the daily challenges, quick plays,, and adventures are ALL the same defective game of tiny colored blocks. It’s not even a game. It’s a demo that takes you to an ad and request for money. The real daily challenges and quick plays either don’t exist or can’t be accessed. Foul.

Advertisements Crash 90% of the Time. This app was good when it first came out. Clearly Microsoft is now trying to get into the market of subscription based advertisement removal. I’m not going to extorted to remove the ads that cause the app to crash 90% of the time only to start the app again and be forced the same ad that crashes it again. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 times to keep the app running through the advertisement. Not to mention I suspect the add using Ryan Reynolds is likely being done without his exclusive endorsement.

Addiction broken. This was a cleanly designed challenging word game that I loved to play but now has been entirely ruined by your recent update. The silly pop-ups and sounds effects, thin font size, and color changes all contribute to suddenly making it confusing and unappealing to play. The consistently bad reviews it’s receiving should not be foolishly dismissed by Microsoft as just a typical standard reaction to change that will pass- we, your devoted players, are telling you that you made a very bad strategic move with this update and you need to do something about it! Give us the option to return to the original game, something...otherwise I’m signing off with rest!

Microsoft Wordament. I’m writing again this time in disgust. I really like the game and I always thought highly of Microsoft, unfortunately I think I’m going to change my opinion about Microsoft due to the fact I’ve complained about this problem several times and nothing gets done. I play and completed a world and the game freezes and I can’t continue. I see others have said the same thing but obviously Microsoft is not concerned about this app or their customers. Thanks for nothing Microsoft!

Missing the older interface. Listen, the actual gameplay of Wordament is GREAT. Super addictive and better than the Boggle app in my opinion. But I am REALLY disappointed with the new look, and not just for aesthetic reasons. The new font, colors, and arrows/highlighting make it much harder to play the game. The lighter and thinner font is much harder to see against the tiles. It used to be hard for me to put the app down. Now...not so hard. I wish that there were options that would allow you to change the font back and get rid of the arrows/highlighting.

User name. I used to love this game because I had a name that had to do with cats/kittens etc. I played against others doing the same with their game name and it was fun. Then, if using through Facebook as opposed to, I guess, Xbox, they made you use you real name. Xbox players still use game names. At that point, it was no longer much fun. I notice that the numbers playing have dropped in half. This all occurred a year ago. The game was addictive until that happened.

Appreciate the upgraded game, but.... Like: the many options to play word games, the choices within the games for hard to easy, etc, the non-timed options, no need for currency to play. Not so much: the long ads...especially on the "quick" play options, the repetitive grids, the game feedback that obscures the board, the severe power drain, though initially interesting-didn't take long to become ho hum.

Challenging but frustrating. Many common words are rejected while many of the accepted “words” are nonsense 3 letter combinations. Once you get the hang of what it accepts, it can be a fun challenge. Drains battery awful fast for a simple word game. Won’t let you skip ads, and often shows two in a row (one 30 second and one 10 second) which really breaks up the gameplay.

??words. I have been playing Wordament for over a year. However, I have noted that many of the “words” (quote intentional) are not actual words, but slang terms or partial words. For those of us who have a vocabulary above the 4th grade level, it is an exercise in frustration. Actual words are not used and are replaced with misspellings, slang terms, nicknames or partial words. However, some levels are better than others. I have not yet decided if I will delete the game or not.

Addictive game, unfortunately. This game is addictive, which is unfortunate because there are ENTIRELY too many ads if you don't pay for a premium subscription to remove them. I just was forced to watch a video ad, after which a countdown began for a still image. When I exited out of the ad, yet another countdown began and when I tried to exit out this time, I was redirected to the App Store. I have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which removes ads for another Microsoft mobile game, it should remove ads for this one as well.

Are these real words?. I am not sure if the app gives you points based on real words or you just scrabble everywhere with your fingers and voila, you’re an expert at this game I want real words only, unless I am the one who needs to grab a dictionary and start learning these three letter words that I’ve never heard of

Fun, but annoying. It's addictive and fun, but two things are soooo annoying: (1) The frequency with which I am frozen out at the 23 second level of the countdown to the next game (so, I don't get my score and, by the time I log back in, I miss part of the next game) and (2) the "You're guessing" penalty after a few consecutive mistakes. The penalty is especially annoying because I'm usually simply misspelling a word rather than "guessing."

Great games. Ads are really annoying. I love the game. It’s difficult enough to be challenging and the user interface is wonderfully intuitive and not even something I gave to think about. But when an ad comes up it is too long and loud and is annoyingly always the same stupid annoying game. And turning it off often lands me on the website doe to bad design. It is the one thing that makes me turn this off way sooner than I othrwise would

Pop up ads. I’ve been playing this game for years and not once did I have to worry about ads popping up out of the blue. This just updated to the new version with multiple ways to play and now after every other game an ad pops up. It’s ridiculous. It’s bad enough to have to wait 45 seconds for the next game, but now we have to wait for the ads to stop playing. I liked the old version better.

Good But Not Great. Please remove the praise (superb, great job, etc.) after each word. It’s obtrusive, blocking the letters and slows game progress. I started playing Wordament when it first came out and forgot about it for years. I was surprised to see such a major remake of it and although I’ve only played the solo map so far, I like it. There is definitely room for improvement and once I’ve played more, I’ll update my review with my two cents.

Addicted to this game. I play this game on three different devices. When I am home I play in the study, if I want a few minutes of challenge. While I watch TV I play on my iPad. Waiting for an appt at the doctor’s office, I play it on my phone. Super variety. Lots of puzzles. From easy to super hard.

It’s good, works well, I can’t even complain.. One thing that Microsoft does very well is their casual games. I never have any sort of issue with any of their casual games. They never have any issue and the ads are very well spaced out. I love it even more on that I can earn achievements on it when I’m on the go. My only wish is they had more like this.
