Fun word game!!
I’ve played several different unscramble word games and this one is very very good. This game allows me to continue playing if I solve the master word or if find at least 50% of the words- - and I can shut down my phone without losing my place. Then when I return to the game, I’m where I left off it. I like that for a small fee, I don’t have to see all those distracting ads.
Not worth a subscription
I would pay up to $15 dollars to remove ads but I’ll delete an app entirely and never touch it again before I pay for another stupid subscription. $2/month is idiotic. If buying isn’t owning, then illegally downloading isn’t piracy. Ask for $6 SMS quit fleecing people who just want to unwind for 15 minutes before bed.
Challenging
I’m happy that the game permits a “win” if the player identifies a majority of words. While I frequently solve 100%, there are many times I can’t get the last (often ridiculously obscure) word or two. The one feature that annoys me is that it accepts some words and not others. Examples: some Greek letter names and not others. Some foreign words and not others. Some proper nouns and not others.
Too Many Ads
Every game has an ad at the end. A two minute puzzle followed by ads. My god! We get it.
Too many ads and lacks ability to advance
This would be a better game if you were able to advance to higher levels with longer words and increased difficulty.
Great game
Lots of new words, a real challenge.
You couldn't care less
The absolute least satisfying relationship in the infinite universe is the player and the game developers. Hands down. No "relationship" at all. Love it love it love it when you give me the same letters again and again and again. You're not listening to me anyway so it's a difference.
Just needs a harder mode
Great game design, nice color scheme that’s easy on the eyes, but just too easy to get much out of; if there were modes of greater difficulty (i.e. 7- or 8-letter word modes) I’d consider playing this more and possibly purchase an ad-free version. (Also, not sure if it’s an issue with just my phone, but I’d love to be able to rotate the phone sideways to play this!)
Was great till they added adds between rounds
This was my go to time killer that was so soothing and relaxing. I knew a game would take max 2 minutes and now there's adds between the rounds which pull me right out of the groove. Such a shame they ruined a great thing and now you have to pay to get rid of them
Fun but needs some adjusting
I love word games, like text twist but I like to know what I got wrong. These ones will tell you the words you missed. And even though I found the words in the dictionary. They are terrible words I never heard of. So I have a love and hate with this game. It’s fun, but make the words everyday words. Not some word most have never heard of.
Best app ever BUT I have some suggestions!!
I LOVE this game and have been playing for years- I swear I have the worlds highest score lol. It’s like the anagram iMessage game but you get to play by yourself! That’s what brought me to this game. It is beyond relaxing and I’m absolutely addicted. I only have two small complaints, I never write reviews but I felt I really need to being that this is my favorite App ever!! I would love more options of letters, I feel as tho I get the same ones a lot!! It can feel a bit repetitive! And you guessed it.. the ADS. I totally understand that they need ads for revenue, good for them, but I have never in my life experienced ads like this. I get a 45 second ad after every single round, it’s absolutely overkill. It’s gotten to the point I turn on airplane mode every single time I open the app so that I don’t get ads. There has to be a better compromise for these ads, less often, shorter in length, ads that are more relèvent, anything!! Thank you for the app it truly is my favorite.
I no longer play this fantastic game
After the ads were changed from the bottom to full page ads that were extremely difficult to close when finished, I no longer could enjoy playing this wonderful game that I was addicted to.
Love it, but seems to be a glitch with ad buy-out option
I love this game. It’s super relaxing and when the ads started, it made playing the game no longer relaxing. It was amazing they did the ad buy-out, but my subscription expired and I can no longer auto-renew. I try to press the remove ads button and a pop up says the subscription price, but when I press continue, nothing happens. I hope this is something that can be fixed because I only really kept playing it so much because the ads were gone. Aside from this, it is a nice simple game and is exactly like the anagrams you can send back and forth via imessage, but it’s nice because I don’t have to wait for someone to play me back or spam them to play a lot of games!
Want to love it!
Too many ads!
Medical terms?
I enjoy this game, but the “easy” word list should not have obscure medical terms and plant species!
Amazing buuuuttt
This game is really fun. But something I noticed is that when I put a word in and it denies its a word, when the round is finished, its right there. For example: i type in tom. It says its not a word. Ok, i keep playing. But when the game ends, tom is right on the list saying i didnt type it when i did! Like huh? So hopefully that can be fixed up please! Its kind of annoying! 🖤
Game keeps resetting
Hello, I was wanting help with my word master game. I have trouble with this game and don’t want to lose my place. It reset my current game at level 187 and this is the second time it has done this. While i was in the middle of a game it erased all the words i found back to none and i only have 1 second left. This will cause me to lose the level since i didn’t find over 50% of the words and start me back at level one. Can someone help me fix this pls. I had the same issue few months ago but i was at level 467. I don’t want to start over again. I will just delete the game if it happens this time. Can someone help me?
Frustrating
I have been playing this game for at least three years. I paid the subscription price to get rid of the bombardment of ads. For the last few days I’ve seen ads again, asked to restore purchases & the ads keep coming back! I’m happy to pay the subscription, but I shouldn’t need to restore purchases. Please fix this!
Very poor dictionary
Often doesn’t take common words and has the most obscure word for maximum letters instead of more common words for the same letters - 👎
Needs to adjust word settings
I am on the easiest setting and they consistently have difficult long words like “rachis”… I tried the hard setting, it is the exact same. It would also be nice to have different time settings. Sometimes I don’t want to rush. So hard to find a good word game.
My go to word game
Just a really good game with n9 fuss or irritating fishy frills , recommend
Ads have gotten horrible
Used to play all the time, but the ads have gotten so bad - very frequent now, and really long ads. Deleting this app now.
Too many ads
Love the game, play it every day, is my "go to". Keeps my mind sharp throughout chemotherapy. But frequency of ads has increased and becomes quite irritating. Such a great game! Please pull back on the ads.
Extremely annoying adds
I used to play this daily, but now that they have updated with ads, the app will be deleted …. Not worth playing anymore!
Love the game but became too pricy
Love this game and unfortunately had to delete it. It used to be ad free now it’s unplayable and at $1.99 a month to remove ads, not worth the hassle Offer an annual amount for a price break and I might be back
Better version now
I loved this app for a couple of years. Maybe a year ago they added commercials to it which were obnoxious long and took away the fun. However, they recently revised how they are doing the commercial ads and it’s reasonable now
nope
Played this for years, now ads are popping up 4-5 times during my games and I can’t take it. Deleted
Wordmaster is still a good way keep yourself occupied while waiting for other items to happen.
🎊👏🎉🥳
Too many ads
You can only play a few rounds without an ad for a game appearing. This started a few weeks ago and there is no way to stop it. Sometimes it causes the game to freeze. Very frustrating.
meh
great game i play a lot less now that ads r there
Awesome game
Perfect to brush your teeth and play!
Video ads have ruined this game.
Used to love this game. It helped me fall asleep at night. Now a video ad plays after every round which is utterly ridiculous. On top of that, there’s no way to close out of the ads unless you completely close the app and reopen it. Tried to contact support via the website but I was unable to even send a message in. Video ads have ruined this game.
Potential, but not yet
First, the bad (GOOD is next): I know it’s a small app and so I don’t expect the dictionaries to be expansive, but since it makes you play every word to get a score on a given batch of letters, it is frustrating to see: a) very common words not listed (ex. “Silo”), while random nonsensical words like “Nelo” are required solutions. I might have “nelo” a little bit off, but as someone who gets excited to learn new words, I would have shrugged off my disappointment at a given puzzle missing a common word in the solution blanks if I didn’t have to methodically run through each possible arrangement of letters (more on this is the “good” part of this review) to find a word, only to look it up after the puzzle and have it come up as an obscure baby name or a misspelling of some machine part fabricator. The GOOD: I like the UI and the styling. It doesn’t glitch and it is a tidy app in size and in data/cache buildup. It doesn’t shove a socal element down your throat like so many apps do now (even apps that don’t allow real interaction but simply want to wear you down until you allow the app to access contacts). I like that you can suggest words, though this might also be where the gobbledegook comes from. It seems the team is small, and this is likely a labor of love. I also enjoy the gameplay. It’s an anagram game, but the order of the blanks/expected solutions is in alphabetical order, adding another puzzle angle to it. I am giving it four stars because what is good about it is so good. And the ads weren’t too bad, considering the playing field of ad funded apps. But the word bank made it an offload for me for now.
Way too many ads
I love this game and play it every day, however, suddenly there are way too many ads. There are ads after every round and it is beyond annoying. Unfortunately that’s the end of this game for me.
Intrusive and Jarring Ads Ruining the Game
I used to love playing this as a relaxing game before bed. I liked that the ads were not intrusive, they used to be visible, but just a simple banner at the bottom of my screen. I could look at them and they weren’t obnoxious. Now, the ads pop up with no warning, blinding me with video ads that are not interesting to me in the least for cringey, awful phone games that I would NEVER play. I hate it! Please change it back to how it used to be. I would rather have the constant banner at the bottom rather than the sudden, blinding and jarring ads that take over the whole screen without warning, interrupting the game. PLEASE!!!
love
i love this game!! i love word games and this is probably one of my favorites ever.
Ads
When I first downloaded there were no ads. Now today there are. Dropping what would have been a 5 star rating down to 1.
Love but repeats words
I love this game but it gives the same word several times!! Needs to give new words as you keep advancing!
How do I get rid of the ads
Todays update was to “mute” Interstitial ads (whatever that means) by default … now there’s a full screen ad after every game AND the banner ad at the bottom of the screen. Patience is waning …let me know how I can turn off full page ads.
Needs Serious Updates, PLEASE!
I love this app. I use it almost daily, and have for several years. I use it for calming, distracting, and word practice. I love the look and interface. Very easy to use. Unfortunately, there have been no legitimate updates in a long, long time. Maybe ever, to my knowledge. I’m not talking bug fixes, I want a real update. New words, more options, etc. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done the same words, some just a few round apart. Please, please update this app! Give us more! -Round 1070
Ms Shanney
Very additive. Good app, enjoyable word game while waiting in doctor's surgery, in the car, during intervals etc anywhere really!
Don’t bother. It’s infuriating!
Used to be my favorite word game. I haven’t played in about a year, though, and I won’t again! Every other word I input causes an ad to pop up, over and over and over. Tonight I played 4 levels and saw the same add interrupt play 23 times! And I don’t play the free version. I paid NOT to have ads! What happened? Nowhere to recall purchase. Really disappointing.
ADS RUINED THE GAME
Loved this game until the ads got out of hand and totally interfered with the enjoyment of the game. If there was a way to buy out of the ads, I’d definitely come back. Otherwise I’m afraid you’ve lost a long time fan.
Disappointed with ads
I have played this game for many years and LOVE it until 3 days ago after the recent updates. There’s always been banner ads at the bottom and that’s fine, but now after each round you have to watch a video. Completely ruins this game. I go through rounds so fast and now I spend way more time waiting for the ad to finish then I get to play. So frustrating and disappointing!!! I always play this quick game while waiting for appointments or standing in line but now the stupid ads come on and I have to silence the volume on my phone then forget to turn it back on and miss phone calls. My high score is over 16 million and I’m probably going to delete this game now because it’s no fun with the ad videos.
Solutions too repetitive
I really like playing this game, but the individual games are too repetitive. I see too many of the same word solutions over and over. It’s disappointing. Needs more new games. Also I would love it if they had an option to choose a game with few solutions vs many solutions. Number of solutions changes the speed of play. A 2 solution game is entirely different feel from a 45 solution game. I prefer the many solution game and just skip through until I get one. But I keep getting the same games 😕
Doesn't work properly...
Seems like a good game, but there's a ton of bugs that need to be fixed!
Was a good game
Until the injection adds popping up every minute or so. Deleting.
Love this game, too many ads
I love this game, I like learning new words. I play it every night before bed. It’s a great way to exercise your brain, or just reset during the day. TOO many ads now!! A huge influx of advertising in this game. I wish they offered a way to buy out of ads. None of them apply to me, they are just random and interrupt the flow of the game. It didn’t used to be this many, and now after each round an annoying ad pops up and lingers until you exit out.
App has run amok
The app has locked itself into a function of the dictionary that will not respond to the X button, just blinks and goes straight back to same screen. Uninstalling.
Free but with intrusive ads
If you use the dictionary, the website's videos will autorun forever and will continually pop up during a timed game (and the clock runs down while the video plays!). Please fix this. Only way to stop it is to pause and quit. In general it has a nice style but I think the sounds are strange. Would be nice to have options for different sounds.
