★★★★ KingDadGaming 3/28/2026 v2.8.0
Stupid
To many ads. It’s a good game but this is not a game when all you get is ads you get more ads on this then you do a spectrum commercial.
★★★★ xtracox 3/18/2026 v2.8.0
Moneyhungry
Way too many ads. You’re dealing with ads a lot more than the game.
★★★★ Juicy_J_78 2/13/2026 v2.8.0
Beware
Every one you complete there’s an ad. 🙄
★★★★ mmm.0210 2/8/2026 v2.8.0
Too many ads
After EVERY level AD.
★★★★ Ayeriss 2/6/2026 v2.8.0
Too many ads
An ad after almost every single round which you can solve within seconds. More time dealing with ads than playing. It’s excessive.
★★★★ DJFERG2 1/30/2026 v2.8.0
Ads
I made it to the 2nd round and already had to watch 5 ads.
★★★★ Baloonlover 1/29/2026 v2.8.0
WAY too many ads
Not really sure how this game has so many great reviews. I was super excited to play it but there is an ad after EVERY SINGLE WORD. It is ridiculous. It’s a shame because it would be an amazing game otherwise.
★★★★ Firefighter787 1/29/2026 v2.8.0
WAY TO MANY ADS
I was super excited about this game. Graphics are awesome, but my mind is blown that after every level, you have an ad. How do you expect someone to try a game fully without the constant badgering of ads.
★★★★ ThisGameCheats!!! 1/28/2026 v2.8.0
Joke
An ad after every word? No thanks. I have real video games I can invest in.
★★★★ KO Collects 1/26/2026 v2.8.0
AD frenzy!
Do NOT install. You will have an ad after every single puzzle, nonstop. It doesn’t even let up solve the first 10 puzzles. It forces you to use your coins and hints, then gives you more ads. Terrible ad game
★★★★ bluerocker04 1/20/2026 v2.8.0
Adblow
The ads for this game make this game unplayable. Every quick puzzle you finish nets you 10-15 seconds of sitting through another ad. I’m not pay $6 sorry.
★★★★ Burn’s 1/14/2026 v2.8.0
Game is great but commercials suck
Rename this game commercial central because it sucks having to watch a commercial after every 2 second round!
★★★★ bubba artis 1/10/2026 v2.8.0
Horrible
Do not download, this app is sad!!! Waist of space
★★★★ Vikki0312 1/9/2026 v2.8.0
Ads galore
This has way to many adds, play one little level bam ads. So ridiculous!!!
★★★★ Home-skillet 1/6/2026 v2.8.0
Sucks
Way too many ads. I thought it was part of the game and it try’s to force you download more. Not worth it.
★★★★ Robocop033 12/27/2025 v2.8.0
Pay $7/Week or Watch Ads FOREVER! :-)
Not sure how this thing has so many glowing reviews unless someone’s slipping people gift cards. Every single word you solve kicks you straight into another ad. That’s not a game, that’s an ad delivery system with a puzzle taped to it.
I gave it a fair shot, but after the second interruption I was out. It looks like a solid game underneath all that nonsense, but it’s absolutely not worth being bombarded with ads every 30 seconds and there’s no universe where I’m paying $7 a week to make them stop. That’s Netflix money for a word game. Hard pass.
★★★★ lovebugg1005 12/21/2025 v2.8.0
To many ads
There are way too many ads. After every puzzle, there is a ad , I deleted in five minutes so I couldn’t fully try it because there are so many ads and they last so long. If I could, I would put zero stars.
★★★★ janedoe1456683 12/21/2025 v2.8.0
Try again
If I could give it zero stars I would. Fun enough game, WILD amount of ads 👎🏼 had it all of 20 mins before deleting it.
★★★★ Beard3dWonder 12/21/2025 v2.8.0
Way To Many Ads !!Can’t Even Play !!
Ads start immediately, show you one puzzle and immediately a long ad, then one puzzle and long ad, game play is 5 seconds, then minute of ads, 5 seconds, then minutes of ads !! Game could be fun, but I’m not dealing with it, immediately uninstalled !!
★★★★ MickeyA25 11/20/2025 v2.8.0
Add after EVERY. Single. Play.
This app has potential and I understand that they have adds to pay for the app HOWEVER it’s after EVERY SINGLE PLAY. Like you answer one then add then answer one then add again. It’s too much. And this game isn’t worth $5.99 to be “add free”. It’s a shame really this has potential but the adds are so annoying there no point in playing it. :(
★★★★ Notorious KDub 11/19/2025 v2.8.0
Paid for no ads & still received ads
The amount of ads are absolutely ridiculous. I finally decided to try ad free and guess what nothing changed. The concept is great if it worked for the customers as advertised. This is a scam and a poor way to go about conducting business.
★★★★ Brinsina83 11/17/2025 v2.8.0
Awful
This game have a ad after every single question! I’m about to delete this app right now!
★★★★ Wubbitywubwub_ 11/17/2025 v2.8.0
Bloated with ads
It’s so hard to play more than 3 levels during any giving play session due to having to wait through and forcibly be pushed to the App Store via an AD just to be able to close it. The prompts are way too easy to justify having an AD after every single correct answer.
★★★★ Jxheidjrnif 11/8/2025 v2.8.0
Ugh
Waaaaay too many advertisements!

TOO MUCH ADS.
Don’t ever download this game if you don’t want to get hypertension. Before each round, u have 55 seconds of ads.

Too many add
Extremely basic - too many adds
★★★★ Jesse_flowers_usaf 9/18/2025 v2.8.0
Ads ads and more ads
💥I like the game but you get an ad after every single puzzle! It’s so annoying. And they want you to pay $5.99 to remove ads. No thanks! I’ll just remove the game. You app developers need to do better. I know you make money off of ads but this is ridiculous! See ya! 💥
★★★★ sunnyiowa23 8/15/2025 v2.8.0
Horrible
Unless you pay for the premium pass you will be stuck with an ad every 30 seconds and you can’t get out of the ad until you watch it and then rewatch it and then try to close the ad and get mad that you almost chuck your stupid phone across the room. Stupid stupid app
★★★★ glorian0530 7/21/2025 v2.8.0

Toooooo tooo toooo meny ads .. you legit have to watch a ad after every guess it’s annoying so I’m uninstalling
★★★★ Lisa91174 7/7/2025 v2.8.0
Way too many ads
You only get to do one puzzle and then there’s a ad. Not worth waiting around for.

Every time I win it’s an ad back to back which is annoying
★★★★ Ambee0421 7/2/2025 v2.8.0
Money hungry
This game has potential, but there is an add after EVERY game. They try to force you to spend money to remove ads. I would rather uninstall. Not worth it.
★★★★ junvera23 7/2/2025 v2.8.0
Too many ads
Game is fun but you have to watch an ad after every puzzle completed! Ridiculous
★★★★ killadelphian 6/20/2025 v2.8.0
No pay No play
Pointless to buy a game after only playing it three days. It’s filled with ads so you’d maybe get one or two games in
★★★★ G-G-W 6/7/2025 v2.8.0
Too much adds
Good game. Horrible adds volume.
★★★★ Piper_117 6/4/2025 v2.8.0
Don’t waste your time
This sounds like a fun word game however, I didn’t even make it past the tutorial before deleting it from my phone. 2 ads between every puzzle is RIDICULOUS. Only 1 star because none was not an option
★★★★ BoxCarMac 6/2/2025 v2.6.0
Too Many Ads
There is an ad after every puzzle and to remove the ads you want $6.99 a week/$27.96 per month. The game is fun, but not that fun. Uninstalling!

Subscription Fee and Ads
My mind is blown that they would charge a subscription fee and still have ads
★★★★ Brennylu 5/28/2025 v2.6.0
Ads
The ads are ridiculous and I’m not paying $7.00 per week to get rid of them!

Ads take forever
Too many ads blocking
★★★★ 8765user87655 5/24/2025 v2.6.0
I wanted to love it
I downloaded it, wanted to play and not pay for it just yet. Got bombarded by ads, couldn’t even figure out if I wanted to keep playing. So disappointed. Uninstalled it after 3 minutes of basically ads. Smh
★★★★ Wyldshot 5/24/2025 v2.6.0
Totally Lame
There’s literally an ad after each puzzle. And it’s $5.99 for no ads.
