✓ Good Idea! With DrawbacksAs a word game lover, I was delighted to find an altogether new type of game. And I really enjoyed the challenge of this game. But it wasn't long before two things impeded upon my pleasure: first was the perpetual irritation of the jumping red square which constantly tries to get you to buy clues, and second was the offer of 100 free game coins in exchange for a 5-star rating of the game, a despicable strategy (buying your rating!) which should be forbidden by Apple, but which has apparently bought this app a good many 5-star ratings. But, trust Grandma, this game has NOT earned all those 5-star ratings. I'd be amazed if it EARNED any of them. It's just too irritating. That said, I WILL say that this game has real potential. If the developers removed the jumping red box and took the whole "coins" thing out of it, it could be a truly enjoyable game and challenging game. I think there could even be one version for adults and one for children. [A wonderful HBO children's tv show has a game just like this.] I should also mention that there were a few sets that raised the issue of varying regional meanings for words. One example was a group of four pictures which absolutely defined (for me) "meatloaf," but the answer was "hash." "Hash" has a completely different meaning for me - well 2: one culinary (chopped meat - usually leftovers - with diced potatoes and onions and sometimes vegetables) and one illegal (Oh Grandma! For shame!).Version: 1.2.1
✓ What's the wordIt is a fun challenging puzzle but you should give a letter so it gives a few people a head start and they are relaxed. Or they might be upset cause it is so hard that they might delete it..Version: 1.10
✓ Terrible appIt is geared around making you download apps or buy things to give you coins to unlock impossible unrelated words. Don't waste your time. Not worth the frustration!!!.Version: 1.10
✓ Addictive but they don't updateVery good game to fill time but I've now completed it & have been waiting for over a week for more new updates. @ the end it says to come back tomorrow & we will have more levels but still waiting..Version: 1.5
✓ Good brainwork! BUT...Ok, been almost 2wks since last review. was fun, but still waiting on update. Read all below. Deleting & on to better apps. Wrote ⭐review below 4 days ago after finishing all puzzles . Read this now because it will disappear under all the freebie 10 coin comments. U will run out of puzzles & get a message that u get "more on the next release". I still haven't gotten anything. FREE COINS WON'T HELP ANYTHING IF U CAN'T PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! ⭐ Got this app yesterday evening & have solved all. Creators ask you to rate 5 star & give u 100 points - points for WHAT? After "completing all puzzles" (not many), I got a "great job" comment along with message that I will get more challenges later. Let me guess; update will cost$$$$... & no, I didn't devote all my time on it. Should allow enough puzzles to at LEAST let you play a few days!.Version: 1.3
✓ Addictive but hardThis app is highly addictive however some of the words are extremely hard to guess- there are quite a few american-isms therefore being from the UK can make it unnecessarily difficult..Version: 1.4
✓ I want to playI used to have this game and i played it and i deleted it for a while but i got it back and now i open the app fine but whenever i hit the play button the app just closes down and goes back to the home screen, and I’ve tried deleting it and getting it again, powering off my phone, and i checked to make sure i have storage, but i still am unable to play the game. help?.Version: 2.4
✓ Doesn’t workTried to play but would load every time I press play it shuts down.Version: 2.4
✓ Hasn’t worked since I got my iPhone 11 Pro last yearDoesn’t seem to work in latest iOS!.Version: 2.4
✓ I enjoy this game but lots of bugsI loved "What's the word?" game, but I didn't enjoy it all when I got to level 310 (the max at that time), and when more levels were released, the level numbers were scrambled and I do use the Internet for help when I am really stumped. I search for that certain 310 + levels' number, and they have different pictures that I already saw on last level and when I look at the level area I see that it has the same level number that my iPhone currently has. I cannot even look at the Internet for help, and I am really stumped on a level that none of my friends have ever reached, and I'm stuck. If you could rescramble or whatever, so as to help others and me. Thank you for this game though! :).Version: 1.7
✓ App shuts downApp keeps shutting down every time I click on it please please fix the game I like this game it didn’t do this when I had the 7+ and now I have the 11.Version: 2.4
✓ Too pushyIt's a good game, but way too pushy in trying to get you to buy the IAP. Icon bounces after looking at the pictures for 1 second, barely enough time to react when you know it straight away. IAP prices are ridiculous. 99p to move on one image which you might well be stuck on as well. Either make the coins you get for guessing correctly a greater amount so you're more likely to gain enough to move on without spending real money, or make the IAP coins a greater amount so you get more passes for your money. I got frustrated with the bouncing after 20 levels that I deleted..Version: 1.4
✓ Ran out of wordsWas my favorite app until it ran out of words:-(. Said they add new ones everyday but it's been three days and still no new puzzles. Hopefully back up and running soon.Version: 2.3
✓ Not workingI used to play this on my iPod in 2014 and later downloaded on my iPhone around 2016. Currently, in 2020, it’s not working on an iPad. :( Was a good game..Version: 2.4
✓ Pretty funNeeds to have harder ones though. Unless maybe I haven't been playing very long. They can be solved in about 2 seconds so far....Version: 1.3
✓ No UpdatesI really liked this game but apparently the developers have stopped updating it and it will no longer work with iOS..Version: 2.4
✓ Won’t stay openAlthough the game opens, when I click play, it closes..Version: 2.4
✓ Has been crashing since iOS 13Guess developers fell asleep and let this app crash and burn. Sad..Version: 2.4
✓ KarenToo easy but its fun.Version: 2.3
✓ It's fun but too many adsAfter every one or two games an ad pops up it's getting annoying..Version: 1.8
✓ No Longer Works on iPadWhat a shame..Version: 2.4
✓ Only works on older iPadsI have always liked this game but ever since the latest iOS came out it crashes after you open the ap and press play. It is too bad because it was a fun ap..Version: 2.4
✓ Doesn't make senseI got to a level which I couldn't figure out. One box was a light bulb, another 3 cups, another a woman and another a clock. THREE times I refreshed the quiz and each time different letters popped up for the same 4 pictures!! Completely different letters. ??!.Version: 1.3
✓ Keeps kicking me outThe first time I played this game it was good in the first round. But when I wrote “play” it just kicked me out I joined like a million times and it just keeps kicking me out FIX THIS ASAP.Version: 2.4
✓ Not badSome easy, others very difficult. Quite fun to play, but would be a lot more enjoyable if it wasn't for that annoying bouncing box. I really hate that. Starts bouncing after a few seconds on every word. In fact, it's so annoying that I think I can't put up with it and will probably delete the game. Thanks for a free game though..Version: 1.6
✓ No pictures after a short time of app useSo loaded this this game app twice— and ended up stuck with word puzzle with no pictures. Reloaded app - thinking a one time problem. It worked okay for about 12 puzzles and again - stuck at no pictures.. software issues. Don’t get this app..Version: 2.4
✓ Game keeps shutting offThe game shuts off every time I push the “play” button.Version: 2.4
✓ Please fix glitchI like this game and I use to play on it but It won’t let me get on so please fix it.Version: 2.4
✓ ConfusedI'm on the level with 3 cups, a light globe, a lady and an alarm clock. Every time I refresh the page totally different letters come up! Annoying and frustrating!!! I now can not play anymore because I can't pass this level. How do I guess the word if the letters continually change? Grrrr.Version: 1.4
✓ Too easyFun but wayyyy to easy!!!!.Version: 1.12
✓ Sadly missing the markThis could almost have been a great game for me. Sadly it started off too easy and after it quickly progressed to a puzzle I had to actually think about for a minute it was a puzzle that one of the clues was just terrible for the answer they expected a person to give. Well I still happened to get that one relatively quickly but a few puzzles later I'm back to a stumper, stuck for quite a while and have discovered that not only does the game not allow for skipping a puzzle but their shtick is to sell you "hints" for real money. Yeah right. That's a sound decision; 99 cents here and 99 cents there while learning to give up on thinking through a puzzle on an electronic toy could never add up and become a mindless plan you would later regret!.Version: 1.4
✓ It's good but...I like the game. It really passes the time. But I updated the game and had to start all over even though I was so far. I kind of want to delete it now because I played pretty long to get that far and it's just gone. It's ridiculous. Also, many of the pictures almost seem to have nothing to do with the pictures I'm trying to solve. I encountered a puzzle for the word "dog" and there was a picture of a fox on it...a fox is not a dog...at all. Maybe more consideration of pictures to puzzles should be taken. Even my friend deleted this game because more and more puzzles began becoming nonsensical. It's almost a little pathetic and ridiculous..Version: 1.9
✓ It's a good gameThe game is good. There is a high amount of challenge in the puzzles, but sometimes the similarities in some of the pictures are too much of a stretch, in my opinion. It's not impossibly hard, some of the pictures just don't seem to have the similarity they want as an answer. Spoiler. The puzzle with the answer that was egret is not a challenge, the challenge is just knowing the actual word not finding the similarities in them. If the game had pictures that made more sense, had similarities between them that weren't such a stretch, and used words for answers that the common person actually knows, I would have given it a five out of five. And the puzzle with the answer "spade" did not have a spade in it at all (so misleading and wrong word)..Version: 1.3
✓ Palmmie susThis is my favorite game, but now it won’t open on my iPhone. Is there a reason why??!! I would like to keep this app. as it’s fun and challenging. Please fix it!!.Version: 2.4
✓ Not working anymoreI like this one but i haven't play it for a long time and now it won't even open up!.Version: 2.4
✓ Great, but...1. I hate the ads... they are annoying and you're losing players because of them; 2. I hate that if I multitask and quickly switch to a different app, when I open it back up I have to press the "play" button... why can't the game just wait for me to return without it restarting just because I glanced at a different app?; 3. If you get stuck on a word, there should be a "reveal word" option that deducts points or costs coins... I hate being stuck and not having a way to get past it; 4. Some of the pictures REALLY do not match the word... seems like a desperate attempt to make the game more challenging but it's just making it stupid..Version: 1.9
✓ SheeshEvery time I open the app I crashes. I love this game not this foolishness. Please fix this..Version: 2.4
✓ Fun but hardSometimes the word are difficult to find and it costs too much to get the help. You can not pass the word so you may be stuck for a long time..Version: 1.10
✓ Good But Frustrating & Expensive!Game is great, but they only give you 2 coins for a correct answer, then when you get stumped you have to buy coins if you don't have enough for a clue. Some of the pictures really confused you so it's inevitable that you will have to buy coins to keep playing, and to reveal one letter is. 39 coins and $.99 only gets you 250 coins. Seems like a lot but they go fast when you're stumped on a few puzzles. In addition, when you complete the levels they say, "new levels coming soon" after you've spent time, money, and energy solving the puzzles. The concept is great and the game is fun, but these items listed above make it frustrating. When you want to start new levels, the easy packs are 20 coins, but after that they're like 200+ coins to play. I would have rather paid for a version of this game and not have all these things to buy to keep playing. Just sayin'.. But the game concept is great...Version: 1.12
✓ What’s the word gameI like to try new puzzles.Version: 2.4
✓ Good concept, poor executionAlthough I like the concept of the game, and enjoy playing it, there are a couple issues that detract from the fun. The puzzle difficulties are all over the board and you will get super easy mixed in with super hard. The reward is the same 2 coins regardless of the puzzle (and you need to solve 20 before you can afford a hint!). The game doesn't have the concept of levels or lives so you really can't progress into the more challenging realm. The additional and main issue with this game is the inability to fail a puzzle. When you get a super hard puzzle that you don't have an answer to your options are limited. You can keep trying for several days until you finally stumble on the answer, you can ask for help in FB, or you can uninstall the app. None of these options are good. I don't want to spend 3 days on one puzzle, that's no fun! I also don't like the concept of FB help for two reasons: 1. Most people just give you the answer and that takes all the challenge out of it, and 2. You end up seeing solutions on FB to puzzles you haven't attempted yet and that's no good either..Version: 1.6
✓ Crashes and Won’t PlayWith the last update being two years ago, it seems this is incompatible with more recent iOS builds. It ran fine on 12.4 on my old phone just recently (as I put off updating till last week when it then tanked my battery and reminded me why I had never updated), and now it won’t run on my new phone on 14.1. From the other reviews, it likely disagreed with iOS 13 as well. Don’t bother to download this game unless your updates are way behind like mine were..Version: 2.4
✓ App shuts downApp keeps shutting down as soon as you open it. So i reinstalled it and still did the same thing.. I loved this game! Wish you would get it fixed! Been doing this for weeks..Version: 2.4
✓ ProblemEvery time I press “play” the app closes..Version: 2.4
✓ Entertaining but could get expensiveBasically this game gives you lots of easy puzzles to solve with maybe one in ten being really difficult with what I thought an obscure link between the 4 photos. This, I imagine, is to encourage us to buy coins to proceed to the next game. Avoid or stay determined not to be tempting to buy coins. I ended up doing this twice and have now deleted the app..Version: 1.3
✓ No new levels for years with coins left overI love this game however, I’ve been trying and trying to get more levels for several years and can’t and I have over 5,000 coins just sitting there. Have w-mauled this company several times and nothing changes..Version: 2.4
✓ Challenging but there are no incentivesThis game was free however each time you get stuck and need help guessing the word you have to use at least 39 coins and there is no way to earn coins, you have to buy them. The game was free but I spent at least $5.00 on the coins which is ridiculous! There are no incentives for guessing the word except for earning stars but you can't do anything with the stars!! I would not recommend this game to anyone if no incentives are created and I am deleting this game from my phone. It's fun but costs too much money because a lit of the words are nearly impossible to guess without buying coins out of your own pocket. If I wanted to buy coins to play a game I'd go to the arcade.. If this game is updated I'll definitely look into playing it again if I don't gave to spend money with no incentives..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Too time consumingThe idea is great but this game quickly goes from ridiculously easy (shake) to difficult from one puzzle to the next. The help option is not an option because it requires too many coins, and the fact that the help option icon shakes and makes noise every 10 seconds is annoying. You should be able to scramble the letters or at least rearrange them, and be able to skip a puzzle that is stumping you and come back to it. I don't have time to look at 4 pictures (some of which seem to have NOTHING in common) for 20 minutes until I figure it out, I'd rather play something else....Version: 1.4
