No. Just NO.
I’m sick of the ads for this game.
“Oh no! I don’t know a dangerous animal in the ocean that starts with ‘Je’!”
It’s jellyfish by the way.
You don’t have to market your game through imbeciles that believe an octopus is going to murder everybody that swims near it.
And do’nt even get me STARTED on the ads *in* the game.
I can’t even type one word before a lemon8 ad pops up on my screen.
I understand that in order to have a free game, ads are necessary.
But let’s get one thing straight- There are more ads in one game of ‘Secret word’ then there are pages in the Holy Bible.
So save yourself, stay away from this game.

Locks up now
For the last few days, the app locks up during play on my iPad. No error message, just locks up. I’ve been playing daily for a while with no problem. Maybe an update gone wrong? Please fix it!
Update- The developer wants a screenshot. I already said there was no error message. Screenshot of a locked up screen will not be helpful since it’s different every time. Apple auto-responses don’t make sense sometimes. I am not hopeful this will be fixed.

Not accurate
The game says it four plus but i don’t see how four year olds could get the answers to any of the questions as even my mum can’t get some.
New game
I updated but I didn’t get the new game word chain
Confusing
It was hard understanding what to do, and some of the topics I had no clue how to do so I didn’t even have a chance to win…
Ads
I got stuck in a ad that kept looping with no way out
Too many ads
Ridiculous amount of adds, if you play for 5 minutes 4 and a half will be adds.
Doesn’t Work
Every time I try to open the app, it says there is something wrong, this thing no does not work
Fun but ads ruin
Too many ads wishing the game
An adblocker doesn’t work, by the way.
The title explains it pretty well. Having an adblocker or something similar just makes it so that you can’t launch the game at all, as it keeps telling you there’s some sort of network issue (I didn’t bother to read it, I’m afraid), and retrying does nothing.
So if you were hoping to try and bypass the ads somehow, it will not work. Don’t bother with this game please.

Stupid fkn ADDS
It’s terrible playing one level then having to watch a add for minutes
Too Many ads
60 second ad after 30 second game
TOO MANY ADS! TOO MANY ADS
Yep, that’s right. I took my rating down from 4 to 1. Why??? Ads ads ads. I’ve gone through and read some of the reviews. I’ve seen your answers about how ads are needed. Ok I actually understand that. I choose to play the free version because it’s not in my budget to pay for ads free. I understand my choice means ads and I don’t mind them to earn more coins or in between games HOWEVER in the last week I am ads as I’m playing! It interrupted my train of thought playing Cladder and today 8 EIGHT ads just popped out of nowhere as I’m trying to figure out today’s Tangled. This is TOO much it’s like EVERY minute. Maybe you’ll hope this will make me buy the non-free version but in fact it’s doing because I’m this close to deleting the app. My rate will not higher until you do something about this and if within two weeks, nothing is done bye-bye; do better
I can’t believe the greed.
Posted a review a bit ago about the outrageous 700% price increases to their coins, was asked to “politely change my review:)” after they “were going to look into the pricing changes”, when in reality the prices have not come back down, the ads have gotten worse and it’s just slowly becoming not enjoyable anymore. 400 days straight of doing all these puzzles, and it’s just getting worse.
Rip off for iPhone users
There are a million ads. I don’t mind the ads if you want hints and things, but it’s also after every time you win a round. I even was willing to pay to have the ads removed. However, I found out for Android users it is a ONE time purchase. For IPhone users, it is an ongoing monthly subscription. Why?! Why do I have to pay $9.99 every month while my spouse pays $15.00 one time? What a rip off!
Not good
Too many ads
Gross
I liked this app a lot. Sometimes the puzzles were too easy. I deleted it because one of the crossword questions was in reference to JD Vance’s ‘book’. I cannot conceive of why this is the only political clue I’ve ever come across? Why this apps wants to be affiliated with a racist, misogynistic embarrassment like him is beyond me.
Great daily mind exercise
The puzzles are nice to think about and train the mind. Ads however are pretty ridiculous. I get it’s a free app but could be 5 stars without the wasted time of ads. Puzzles take twice as long because of ads
Ad is different than the app
Also you can only play the puzzles once. You can only play one puzzle one time
Devs asked for a review
Literally no one wants an app that plays an ad after EVERY. SINGLE. LEVEL. We know ads generate revenue, but showing so many people quit playing won’t make you ANY money. And the price of your VIP packages are hilariously obvious in their attempts to squeeze out (literally) every extra dollar you can. $13.99 to remove ads, but $14.99 removes ads AND banner ads. If it were even remotely less scummy of a money grab, I’d probably have bought one, but I’m just going to delete the app instead.
Eh
Games are alright, but full of adds
It won’t start!
Ok I’m so mad right now! I really want this game because it looks so fun but I don’t know how to get on the games! It says “wait until level 10”. How do I do that if I can’t get to level 10?! PLEASE fix this because this is my dream game! If you fix this I will put 5 ⭐️! Pls respond with directions. Thanks.
🤢🤢
You have got to stop the adds will gross stuff oozing out…. They are nauseating….
I love the variety, but I strongly dislike the commercials….

Baddddddddddddd
It is way to hard
The monetary cost for coins increased 500%?
There was a sudden substantial increase in the cost of coins to be able to avoid ads by 500%! Was enjoying the puzzles but will probably stop playing shortly given the steep increase.
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME….ADS ADS ADS GALORE!!!!
I install this app at about 8:15 AM my time and it was deleted at 8:19. I opened a puzzle and made two moves, then immediately got an advertisement before I could even play the game for a minute. I would give it a zero star if I could. How can you relax playing a game with your constantly being bombarded by ads? I understand you wanna make your money but whoaaa up there Richie….
Games
I would like to play more that one game a day
Ads
Too many ads
Too many repeating ads!
Love the games, small and quick to finish. But, way too many ads. It would not be so bad if they were different ads, but they are the same over and over and over….
Far too many ads
Fun games but there are long ads after every one, along with banner ads. Not worth it.
Make a paid ad-free version
They’re SO constant. You play a game for 15 seconds, and have to watch a 60 second ad.
Ok, but….
So many buggy issues.
Love it but freezes after you finish a game
Every time you finish a game, an ad pops up. Lately, the ads finish, you exit and then you’re just left with the white game screen for a long time and you have to shut down the app and reopen. When you click the finished game to get your rewards, it brings up the ads again and then it might lag on the white screen or it’ll work after a bit and bring you to rewards screen. I’m pretty much shutting down the app and reopening it after every game
Ads ads and more ads
WAY too many ads. Excessive amount makes me dislike these games.
Too many ads
While I love that this game has a variety of puzzle there are way to many ads. I don’t mind ads in a game but an ad after each puzzle is excessive. It makes me not want to play
Good Game but offensive
I gave it a 2 because the quality of the game is good. They will put in highly bigoted answers. I reached out to them. They ignored me the first time. I reached out again and got a sorry we are looking into it. After two weeks of no response, I again asked for a refund only to be ignored.
Too many ads and fluff
I just deleted the app. The puzzles are great, but there are way to many ads and other fluff that get in the way of just doing the puzzles. I don’t care about streaks, challenges, etc. I just want to do the puzzles and get on with my day.
Hit or Miss
The games are fun, but it seems like it’s all written by AI with no quality checks. Several of the answers to the games make no sense. It also has just a ton of long ads.
