★★★★★ "I really liked this game BUT it keeps adding games to my phone without my permission. I only played a couple hours and it installed 3 games to my phone. The ads are so ridiculous as well. I don't mind ads but this is overkill." - Samantha Zuber

Basically took over my device. I deleted it as soon as I noticed it. The ad for it is annoying because it takes so long to get rid of. That desperation for user should have been a hint.
unplayable..it wouldn't recognize my Google account....I have a pixel so it should sync instantly..also the game froze when I got in...nope
word roll will not load. I have played the game for a long time, and now can't get it to load.
I give it one star of because of the pathetic use of ads Would be fun, but there's so many ADS you spend most of the time watching ADS instead of playing the game.It's dumb, should delete it.Don't waste your time
I thought I would like it but I just don't. You clearly play against bots. Overall, I was pretty bored. Wasn't even visually pleasing to me.
the best game out here but commercial and length of commercials makes me hate this game.
Due to very, very long and frequent ads, I've no option other than to downgrade Word Roll from five star to 2 star. I love the game but the ads thing is seriously not a pleasure also, words that do not exist in the English pass as correct eg. Wof, Koro, Rouke Crazy, deva. Deva, is a Hindi word. Shable is Scottish apparently, for an old rusted saw.
I really liked this game BUT it keeps adding games to my phone without my permission. I only played a couple hours and it installed 3 games to my phone. The ads are so ridiculous as well. I don't mind ads but this is overkill.
I first gave this app 5 stars but now it gets 1 because I hardly ever lose and I haven't lost in months yet my rating is 89% , makes no sense when I played over 500 games and lost a hand full of times. I even beat an opponent and word roll gave him the win , if you add it up I WON! I saved a screenshot to prove it too. This game is faulty or something
Putting ads in middle of round is a hostile act in 2026. So many better ways to do it. Uninstalled.
this game cheated me of my levels, kept starting over and would remove my levels.. i do not recommend
My current review 1 star!! I paid for the no ads. Now an ad overtakes the game and I have to watch 2 ads. I WANT A REFUND! it has even gotten worse with the ads now. I am deleting this freaking game.
unavoidable ads that you have to interact with, can't skip after any length of time. pure trash.
I am going to uninstall this. it shows previews like a scramble board and that says, make a word that starts with a p or make a word with the letter A in it. i do not want to play with other people.And this is nothing like advertised.Goodbye
fun game....won't let you claim rewards
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!! the first 2 "words" they played were a city (which it wouldn't let me play one) , the 2nd word was nonsense. DON'T WASTE UR TIME!!
Wanted to play, opened the app, didn't load so I'm uninstalling 😕
This game was fun until each time it's ad time, we have to watch THREE ads!! Unacceptable
why the deceiving advertising of the game? I look forward to playing the game as advertised but end up with a whole different game. Irritating
I don't play this game because of all the sharing info. I would like my info to keep other people out of anyones info
a total wrought and a complete waste of time. The concept of the game is great. However,it should be renamed ad watching manipulation. When you navigate to a feature, there is an ad. Before games, there is an ad, watch this ad to improve your odds of winning, watch this for a boost. mid game,there are ads between levels. Where is the fun and respect for player concentration when playing a game. You can pay to stop ads mid game, but that doesn't stop ads. There is more time spent watching ads.
the app has issues
constantly crashes. half the words played and not actually words. I really wanted to like this game.
Nothing like ruining a good game with so many ads!
some players don't finish the game if they're losing. they just leave you hanging. too many ads
won't let me play.
good game but far too many adverts you seem to get them after every 1 or 2 turns....time to delete some of the adverts also kick you out of game ......now deleted
I enjoy this game but it has now got so there are far too many adds even in the middle of games . I can accept adds between each game but they are intrusive, off putting & time consuming after each round !!
Downloaded the game because the Advertisement made it look good, but the actual game itself different
For the past week, I have been kicked out of the game causing me to lose 300 coins when I win and finish the game or not. I clean the cache often so I don't understand why it's happening now.
too many ads! like the game just too many ads plus, really don't want to pay money to block ads.
Those that challenge me seem to have words that don't exist and score with them
The game is very challenging, but it cannot be played on my Android smartphone. It can be played on my Android tablet JHon H800. This baffles me. Now, I will lose my current standing because of this reasoning.
