Nope
It would be great if the scoring were the same for both players. You place your letters and get 5 points, but the other player places the exact same 5 letters and gets 12 points. I used to like the game, but I uninstalled it because the scoring didn't align with the actual gameplay.
Ads
Too many ads, one after every turn and they are extremely long. I delete 3very game with so many ads
Death by ads
Way too many ads. Many of them repeat over and over. Going adfree is $4.99 per WEEK. Great game killed by greed
For elementary school kids
Very boring and far to easy.
Too easy
Not challenging
Too small on iPhone
Cannot see icons. Timeout sucks.
Mnm
Can’t clearly tell what some of the pictures are
Too many ads
I’m not going to pay for not seeing ads a subscription. Very constant. You can put one every 5 levels. But no. You are interrupted by a game four to five times with heavy ads.
Avoid this Predatory App!!!!!
5 bucks a WEEK to remove ads, and the ads will LITERALLY interrupt you mid-turn in the daily challenges. Fun basic game, but their 2 minute ads that interrupt the game kill any reason to play this game. AVOID THIS PREDATORY APP!
Boring
This game is boring.
How do I play against my friends?
Downloaded after a friend sent an invite but there's no way to connect with that friend, by user name or through the link they generated and sent via text to me. Am I missing something here?
Boss gets FIVE e’s when that was all that was needed to solve rest of the words. CHEAT GAME ITS FIXE
GAME CHEATS!!! Playing boss, to solve the entire rest of the words all that was needed was FIVE ‘E’s’ HOW WAS IT ON BOSS NEXT TURN HE HAD FIVES ‘e’s’…. CHEATS AND ITS VERY APPARENT. I just got me first boss. For several days can’t beat him.
Harmful & Insulting image and word
I was enjoying the game until the word noose which can be derogatory or disrespectful to players. Most of the games I play in 2025 won’t even allow hurtful words as such.
Not the game advertised
Game is redundant; it’s not the game shown in advertising
Too many ads
Fun game but way too many ads. They’ve become ridiculous now. I’ve deleted the app.
Annoying ads
I hate all the ads that pop up but like the game. How to get rid of ads. It’s getting annoying. Now all the app is doing is spinning. I can’t get to play now. I’ve deleted the app, I’ve restarted my iPad but getting nothing. There are no updates. Game not working anymore
Word pix
I love the game, but the constant ads - 1 every round - ruins the enjoyment.
Game Cheats

Loner
I love this game. Too much so sometimes. I would love to see you able to advance without having to have friends. Not everyone is interested in my games. Any work arounds?
Great but not so great
I would probably play this game all the time if I could play solo or if it had a zen mode.
You have to be at level 5 to play solo and it’s just too much work.
I don’t need more work.
AND… there are only men avatars, NO WOMEN!!! Not one!

Help needed
I can’t figure out how to create a game or how to Find My Friends
Too many ads - subscription is absurd
Fun idea, but the constant ads make the game nearly unplayable. Asking players to pay a recurring subscription just to remove ads is ridiculous. A simple one-time “Remove Ads” purchase would make far more sense.
Ads
I absolutely love this game and love playing it but the ads are ridiculous. I can only play it for a couple matches until they start to get annoying. I would definitely pay a one time fee for no ads but in no way am I paying $5 a week for that…
