A great change from numbers and emoji search. Those are all good too. This uses different brain skills

I enjoy this game but…

The color blind mode is a wonderful idea but the reds and browns are brutal for me. I am shade blind and have a hard time seeing the red in the connect the colors mode.

It Cheats

I have used these games for a while & thought it was me until I ran a level through a friend's computer program & also ChatGPT. Both confirmed it was unsolvable. This company seems less intrusive compared to other, so I am still going to use them to destress. If you are using it for mental agility as I was as well, just know the issue is likely not you.

I like this game but I would give it higher stars. If it would have more vowels. Sometimes it doesn’t have very many vowels so some of the games I can’t play.

Too many of the same letters in the puzzle, next to one another consistently putting the letter U next to a QU. Not getting credit for two letters when using Qu. Enjoy the challenge

Try to guess how to get a good score

The different versions are all fun. But I can’t figure out the reasoning behind sometimes getting 3 stars or 5 stars. I’ve tried making long words, not using the “free” spaces, using the free spaces, not using the power mode to swap letters or add a move, etc. The instructions tell you what to do to get to the next level, but not how to improve your score in that level. And the only measuring goal of “endless level” is how many stars you can earn. So, when I get too discouraged or frustrated, just give it a break & either go on to a different version or move to a different game for awhile.

Good and bad

As much as I like the game, the amount of private data collection and connecting to other web sites is totally unreasonable. You call it a “free” game but it isn’t. The user continuously pays with personal data. I would rather have a paid game.

There isn’t enough words to choose from, you can’t do many words and it closes the game - it should be much limnbdr

— Jetsetterjan

★★★★★ United States · v1.48 · 9 Jan 2026

Endless computations

The challenge of making words from the endless possibilities that present themselves every time the screen changes, and the increasing level of congratulations as longer words are rewarded, is most stimulating.

Annoying

I play word games of all kinds, the more challenging the better, but did not last playing this one. I found it quite annoying, after finding a word, to have to hit the check mark at the extreme right of the game board to enter the word. Why not simply double click the last letter of the found word to submit it. It feels like an unnecessary constant interruption of playing a smooth speedy game. Please bring back Bookworm for iPad!

Word Jewels

A most enjoyable game! I love it..Personally I appreciate a good word game and Word Jewels works for me..In addition, after achieving many points, I had accidentally restarted the game to the beginning losing all of my points. I then contacted product support and had a very rapid response with instructions regarding the correction of my error…Incredible Support! …..I thank you for a super fun word game with support to match!!!…Thank You!

Annoying ads

I might have liked the game but for the constant banner at the bottom which advertises a whole bunch of junk. I can't get rid of it. It is really distracting. The game only uses maybe a quarter of the screen. Terrible!

Great games

My husband and I have enjoyed playing WordJewels for a couple of years. It is challenging especially when we get to the higher levels. We have just been introduced to Wordzing too. This is great fun too with the different challenges but has now become less fun as there is no degree of additional challenge the more the game is played.

This game is addictive, one wants to strive to complete every level and great to help the ageing mind! The game though has some words which are not really English language, more common words used in today's world have been included. To sit down at end of day without any noise and complete a couple of levels is therapeutic
