Connect The Words: 4 Word Game for Negative User Reviews

✓ Fun, but has glitchesThis is fun but it would be even better if some glitches were ironed out. After spending coins to get 1 life back and solving the puzzle and moving on to a few more - when I reopened the app to play later, it had sent me back to the one I had to spend coins on and had it unsolved with no lives left. Other times, I’ll spend coins to get one more life but not play right then and there. When I come back to it later, my coins are gone and so is the life I hadn’t used yet. It’s frustrating. I may just play the daily puzzle and let that suffice so I don’t lose so many coins unnecessarily..Crochet JunkieVersion: 1.0.22

✓ Needs some refinementMost of the connections are very easy with just a few more obscure links but the same connections are repeated too frequently. I’m hoping it might get more difficult as I progress through the levels. I know we have to put up with adverts unless we pay not to see them but they are quite long..Marje53Version: 1.0.11

✓ Lack of optionsJust downloaded the game, and am stuck in a puzzle I just can’t solve. I’m not mad that I can’t solve it, but that I don’t have the option to give up with a penalty if necessary, and move on to another puzzle. I’m not going to keep wasting time looking at ads for another life indefinitely. This could have been fun and challenging, but where’s the FUN in being trapped on a level with no other way out? Deleting..Natasha P-MVersion: 1.0.21

✓ AdsThere won’t be any at first, but once they ask you to write a review they’ll start popping up. Also, some of the puzzle topics are very childish..Grade12studentVersion: 1.0.23

✓ AwfulWon’t let you stop game until you get everything right. But after your 3 lives are up you need to pay for lives or watch videos..ZilelikuVersion: 1.0.22

✓ I like game but the time in between games takes too long.I like the game, however, the time in between rounds during which a graphic pops up and awards you coins takes way tooooo long. That takes much for time than playing the actual game. Very frustrating!!! The game should be the focus not having to wait while a chest pops up and coins fly out and are added to your total. It takes seconds to play most rounds, then you sit and wait much longer for the coins/points to be doled out. I feel like I’m playing a game from long ago when things weren’t as polished..LlmtxVersion: 1.0.20

✓ Really good butIt’s a really good game but please get rid of the ridiculous amount of ads. It’s gotten to the point where I feel like uninstalling the game. Be rewarded with more points for solving a level or give 3 lives for watching an ad..JohnPB1Version: 1.0.21

✓ Ads are too longIt’s a fun game, so I purchased the ad-free version; however, sometimes you need to watch an ad to get another life. Fine. But the ads are just too long. Watching a Royal Match ad is like watching 3 ads..Stojef2016Version: 1.0.22

✓ Frustrating at timesThere are some category repetitions but there but overall I like it. That is…until I got to level 385. I was able to solve 2 categories easily enough but the last two are factually impossible. I have tried every combination multiple times and continue to be marked wrong. Please fix this otherwise I’ll be deleting this game..Nanette5gVersion: 1.0.20

✓ Nope.It's just...fine. Very slow, the app is poorly built. And so many of the word groupings are American. American Presidents? NFL coaches? First Lady names? It's lazy. The world does not revolve around the USA and *shocker* those of us out here in the rest of the world also have smart phones and play these games from time to time..Jenny ScribblesVersion: 1.0.22

✓ STUMPED and can’t move on!I’ve been stuck on a level for 2 days now. I have half of it solved, and have 8 words left, 1 category is pizza and 1 is sauce. More than one word overlaps into 2 categories (ex. Pomodoro) and I can’t seem to solve this. There should be an option to watch ads for hints, not just lives (one life at a time is also frustrating!).MargferrVersion: 1.0.20

✓ Repetitive and ads are annoyingBut the full price ad free is £5.99 which is way too much given how repetitive some of the questions are. If it was half that, I’d give four stars but as it is, I’m looking to find an alternative game now..LélayVersion: 1.0.22

✓ Ok butIt is easy and it does not seem to have a way to get harder. Nor is there any viable reason for some sort of reward that tells you your accomplishment. So what? Give us more stars that we can use..1954BatsVersion: 1.0.21

✓ AnnoyingToo many adverts which is very annoying making me come out of the app for a few days. No I’m NOT paying for ‘no ads’ I wd rather stop playing the game. ALSO you can’t sync it with yr iPad and iPhone which is such a pain..ScottHill19792010Version: 1.0.18

✓ Game is fun but I have a few issuesFirst of all, there is a category that is synonyms of the word “example word here” and one of the four words will be that word. For example, I had one game where one of the categories was “synonyms for the word challenge” and challenge was on of the answers. THAT’S NOT HOW SYNONYMS WORK. Second of all, they will have categories that are so closely related that its nearly impossible to differentiate. I just played a game where it had one category that was things associated with fall and the other was holidays in November…… it was frustrating to say the least. But other than those things the game is usually fun, I’m just aggravated on those accounts..Fun but FrustratingggVersion: 1.0.22

✓ A bit too easy…This game is fun, kind of like the New York Times “Connections” game… but not as challenging. They repeat a lot of categories, and one puzzle had 3 different anagram categories. They need to step up the challenge a bit… winning every time with no loss of lives/points gets boring quickly..John GreenstoneVersion: 1.0.20

✓ Arbitrary faulty reasoningThis game is fun in the beginning, but as you progress it becomes simply a vehicle for advertisements. This is accomplished by creating arbitrary correct choices where it is not about the words but the faulty thinking of the creators of the puzzle. These puzzles include multiple (more than 4) correct choices. Grouping logically correct words are indicated as incorrect by the puzzle creators. This forces the player to use “hints” which eventually are exhausted, and force the player to view ads, to try to figure out the thinking of the puzzle creators. For example, one puzzle requires matching NFL team nick names. The words provided include actual parts of the team names and there are more than 4 possible correct choices. To make matters worse some of the choices are not “nick names” at all. Another example is the puzzle with words having two words imbedded in one word. The same puzzle includes words with fruit imbedded in the word. The problem is that some of these word choices are applicable to “connecting words” for both the former and the latter intent of the puzzle maker. I suggest you don’t waste your time on this one, I am deleting it..MotivatejssVersion: 1.0.23

✓ Fun, but…Sometimes a puzzle will generate that’s almost impossible to just reason out, e.g. they’re all just numbers. Once your lives are exhausted there’s no option to reset the puzzle or skip it. The only option is to spend coins (eventually real money) to keep trying. So when it gets to that point I’ll have to just uninstall it. Update: it’s happened. I literally cannot progress further without spending money or watching ads. Even after paying to get rid of the ads. 🤷🏻‍♂️.SmilingkevinVersion: 1.0.21

✓ Why so many repeats?I was attracted to this game because I love Only Connect but, while I enjoy it, it is let down by the very high number of repeated categories with the same, or virtually the same answers. With so many facts in the world surely this is not necessary! It lets down what is otherwise a good game..BishBossVersion: 1.0.15

✓ Forces you to watch an ad or use coinsLike the game, but did not like the fact that I couldn’t give up on a game after losing my three lives. Instead, it forced me to either watch an ad or use tokens to buy another life. After watching ad and still getting answer incorrect, it forced another choice of ad or tokens. Why can’t I just give up on that game board. I don’t have an issue watching the ads, but I should be able to decide to move on from that game board. Uninstalled game..Moesgirl11Version: 1.0.21

✓ Couldn’t get more livesI liked playing the game, but I would easily got stuck on levels because it wouldn’t let me watch an ad to get a life. So instead I would just have to play the daily challenges to get enough coins to buy a life. The game was fun though, I like being challenged..Wonder~42066Version: 1.0.20

✓ Is this a glitch?Why can’t I just … lose? There was a grid I couldn’t solve, but my only choice was to get another life and keep trying. Not only that, to try to make it end, I actually googled the names of greek gods, and used that information to only select greek gods, but it kept saying I was wrong. So I’m stuck in this level forever, apparently..ShallowDVersion: 1.0.21

✓ Could be goodFine as far as it goes but too simplistic and has repetitive solutions. Reached level 72 in a day. Game didn’t get any harder. Suspect this is to keep players going longer to expose them to more ads. Would happily pay for game if it evolved. Needs some mind boggling ‘lateral’ connections to keep it interesting. Don’t expect it to stretch your mind like the tv game (which I can’t do!). Disappointed, deleted it..Antidote for EverythingVersion: 1.0.23

✓ CategoriesI enjoy the game very much. However there are toooooooo many sports categories. Get really frustrating when you have NO interest in sports nor know who the college coaches are. Disheartening. There are so many other topics to choose from. Becomes a waste of time. Next they will have a category of famous high school coach wives. 🤦🏻‍♀️.Ljc0813Version: 1.0.23

✓ Aimed at American audience. Gets boring as too repetitive.OK to begin with so paid to have the annoying ads removed but the more games I played the more repetitive it became with too much emphasis on American NBA, anchor men in fact aimed at an American audience. Plus even though I had paid to have the ads removed I still had to watch long, boring repetitive ads for other games if I ran out of attempts. So fed up now, I have deleted the app..Treasure64Version: 1.0.20

✓ Limited PlayIt’s a fun game but once you hit the higher levels it becomes pointless and boring due to the constant repetition of challenges. Adverts are intrusive but actually less so than some games I’ve played..Saj65Version: 1.0.11

✓ Terrible. No way to skipThere are some that you just can’t get. So hard. and no possible way to skip. I even looked online. Found info on things. Looked more. Tried every day possible. Nothing. And no way to just skip and move on. Finally gave up and deleted the app. So terrible..RochconnVersion: 1.0.23

✓ A good game but…Overall, this is a fun way to kill some time and I don’t think the ads are overwhelming; you can skip through the ads between levels after only a few seconds. If you’re out of lives, then you have to watch the entire ad, so not terrible. While this game requires some thought, I’ve found it can get a little repetitive. One would think that upon reaching higher levels, the game would be harder, but it’s not. My other issue is with errors regarding the labeling of the categories. Quite a few times, a grouping that was called “synonyms for stress”, contained 4 words related to “dessert”. Errors like these have occurred several times. The creators also seem to have a strange obsession with the song “Waltzing Matilda”. Don’t know what that’s all about….ChickthatliftsVersion: 1.0.21

✓ RepetitionI’ve got to level 178 and so far really enjoyed it. However it is now becoming very repetitive. I’ve played three games in a row to name the same 4 Harry Potter characters. It needs to get much harder as it goes along to hold interest..NivakirwanVersion: 1.0.12

✓ Lots of repeat questionsAfter a couple of days of the levels, the questions are becoming more and more the same and no more difficult. Losing interest. Also no map to chart progress just level, then another, then another..MakemineredwineVersion: 1.0.13

✓ Enjoyable to a pointAm I enjoying this game? Yes. However it’s limited to daily puzzle and then infinite (?) solo puzzles. The game could do with other ways of earning tokens because when you’re stuck on a tricky grid they disappear fast! I’ve taken to Google to help me on some of the trickier puzzles. The game would also benefit if there were a competitive slant… Weekly tournaments against other players for example. I’m not done with this game yet, but I can imagine for a lot of people there’ll be a point where they just don’t bother anymore..Ham1000Version: 1.0.16

✓ Poor font choices (letters).The game can be fun if you’re able to actually read the words. Most of the font sizes are way too small to see clearly. Plus, when you finally finish a puzzle, it doesn’t stay on the screen long enough for you to see the last solution. Finally, when you take a clue, it’s printed in faded orange ink color which is also vary hard to see..49cindersVersion: 1.0.23

✓ RepetitiveI enjoy playing but I have found that the choices keep repeating for example characters in Friends I have seen thins about four times. Which makes it too easy and not as taxing as it should be..Porty157Version: 1.0.11

✓ FrustratingThis was fun in the beginning but when you get a board you know nothing about it’s very frustrating. I got the board Round 62 that has something to do with Star Trek I think. I hated Star Trek, never watched it, know nothing about it and don’t care to learn. For this reason, I cannot move forward, refuse to purchase chances and, for this reason will be deleting the app!.NnolefgxVersion: 1.0.23

✓ StuckThis game is fun until you get to a level where 8 words have a clear connection (Christmas) and the only way to narrow it down is to use up lives. If you don’t have enough coins, you can’t buy hints. The hints I used were useless since it told me the common connection I already knew (Christmas). You shouldn’t be forced to buy coins. Game will sadly be deleted..A__L-Version: 1.0.23

✓ Fun while it lasts...After level 500, the game starts running out of answers, and you start seeing the same things again. A few bucks will remove the ads, but I can't say it was worth it..JefflopezstuitVersion: 1.0.21

✓ Needs some attention to detailI quite enjoy this game, although as others have noted it can get a bit repetitive. But it really needs someone to take an editor’s axe to it. Qatar is not a country in North Africa. A synonym is not the same as a homonym. Spelling of the clues is not reliable - and in at least one case this was critical. I would guess, from the balance of the questions, that the setter hails from New Zealand: a slightly less parochial approach would be welcome!.ScrabblekeithVersion: 1.0.18

✓ Fun-ish, but many groupings questionableThere are frequently categories like “words that rhyme with ‘xxxx’” or “synonyms of ‘xxxx’” where ‘xxxx’ is one of the words in the grid. Like, does ‘puzzle’ rhyme with ‘puzzle’? Or is ‘trivia’ a synonym for ‘trivia’? I find these frustrating in a way that detracts from gameplay. There was also a category about vegetables where half the words in the group were fruits 🤷 and another with words from different languages that didn’t use the proper characters (ie ‘n’ rather than ‘ñ’). Then there was the puzzle with two categories of Christmas-related items. This one felt like. Trap to keep me watching ads since the difference between groups wasn’t enough to solve it except by random luck, even with hints. And why, oh why, must the text be so microscopic?.Mr SincostanVersion: 1.0.23

✓ Great game but needs some tweaksI downloaded this app as it was similar to the New York Times Connections. Unfortunately, if you have no idea of a connection in a round there is no way to just lose the round that I can see. You must use up coins or watch a video just to painfully try to get out of that puzzle. Also, if you have made a guess and guess the same thing again you lose a life. It does not give you any notice that you’ve already made that attempt..C.T.'s musicVersion: 1.0.23

✓ So-soA good idea poorly executed. There is no real progression in that it does not get harder the more you play. There is little or no crossover in the categories which make it too easy - and then you get one where there are 3 categories that are similar which is nigh on impossible. Also the 4 categories can be totally unrelated - for example numbers, dogs, countries and colours….Alfie_NoakesVersion: 1.0.20

✓ Improvements NeededThere are two many categories that have five possible answers on the board such as five US states and only one belongs to another category - very annoying..DrowsyjellybeenVersion: 1.0.23

✓ Fun and thought provoking, but ugh ADS!This is a fun and clever thinking game. It tests your knowledge and skill. The down side is all the ads! Even when you buy coins you are still besieged by ads. Never ending ads. Did I mention the ads? Really, the game is good, the categories are not always straight forward as so many trivia games are. But the number of ads, even after submitting to the developer’s plea for financial support really distracts. Please, if I pay you £5 can I be rid of the ads forever?.McRattyVersion: 1.0.18
