Can’t play really. Endless pop upsFirst night I enjoyed it. The next several nights I was unable to get past the endless pop ups. Looks like I need s.omthing different

Too many interruptions deletedDeleted over constant interruptions

AdsI play this game with my 85 yr old mom and she loves it. The ads are very frustrating for her so we looked into going ad free. Most games I’ve played charge around 10 dollars to go ad free but these greedy folks want almost 50 for a year. Only giving one star because of that!

Recent five-star reviews

Too manyLove the puzzles and how they are challenging. But too many points to find out what letters are not correct.

RelaxingThis game is relaxing and brain stimulating

CaptivatingThe crosswords are fun and easy enough to feel successful. Love the letters given and the way letters are produced when you get a word. Addictive!
