Very Entertaining

I love this game. It’s challenging, moves fast and has enough variety to keep it interesting. My only complaint is that the letter hunt keeps prompting me to play but is all grayed out. Either stop prompting or activate, please. It’s been a while longer and the Thanksgiving gold tile game started a few days ago. It also doesn’t work. I solve the words, the gold tiles fly down to the ticket icon but don’t give credit. Wish it either worked correctly or could be turned off. Taking a star away for that. The rest is still fun. Updates: I was able to delete app and redownload from cloud in App Store. That kept all my coins and points and fixed the letter hunt too. Back to five stars since I didn’t lose everything.

Not bad, wish it were harder

I feel like there are several ways this game could be given a higher difficulty, like, more points for speed, which would thus make you lose your bonus if you go too fast. I’d also like a keyboard option, maybe there is somewhere, but not on the phone? Idk. I lose bonuses all the time from a slippery finger and that feels cheap. Also, the coins are cool but they just make the game even easier. Um, can their be some dumb thing to unlock besides ways to make it easier? I think more risk/reward could be fun, too. For example, if there is a bonus word and you don’t get it before you finish the puzzle, you shouldn’t get to get it. I assumed that was the rule until I found it waits for you to guess it, which seemed again, too easy. Maybe these can be turned on and off, so it appeals to more people? I like words puzzles and the only time I really enjoy this game is when I give myself made up rules and go super fast, and when I finally get stuck on like, idk, EMU, I like the game again. Anyway, thanks! Can’t beat the price of free with Netflix, so, not really a complaint, just a wish.

Major Improvements

Adding the embedded dictionary was a major improvement. Adding the pronunciation is a stellar improvement. Now a minute request: after completing the game, I want to access the meaning of the last word right away. The current dictionary should be sorted by giving access to the last word first. In my opinion, I would want to access that last word first before moving on to the next level. I don’t want to go through the random list of words to read the definition of the last one. I had plenty of opportunities to check for any other words before solving the last word. Therefore I think putting the last word first in accessing the dictionary at the end of the level is a must. It would interesting to add a counter for the countries left to reach the end of the game along with a list of countries completed.

399 Days in a Row

Owl puzzle 228 of 235, incorrect picture for Sonoran Desert. Hope there will be more Owl puzzle pictures after 235. Would be nice if the descriptions included where in the world they exist, although now, I have to search out the info, so maybe that’s better. All of the word trails after 6673 are both easier and harder than those played before reaching the end of the world journey. Now in Tender. What can I expect next? Will the game continue indefinitely? Will there be more random golden letter and puzzle piece challenges? My daily challenges stop after three word jars and 12 puzzles. Is there a way to increase those?

Super buggy (sadly)

The word trails are fun and engaging but the extras are super buggy. The letter collection event gets stuck at “time’s up” and crashes, if you didn’t finish the previous one. In other words, you finish the event with some days to spare and the game tries to start it again. Since there is no much time left, it expires (correct) but when the next event starts weeks later, it gets stuck and keeps crashing. Also the puzzle event is kind of dumb since it starts randomly and if it does it at 10pm, it’ll expire overnight unless you want to stay up. Lastly, the stars you collect with Mr Hoot to add things to your scrapbook are programmed to always give you no more than 3. Even if you hit all the Mr Hoots, you won’t get 5 starts. Basically, it’s programmed to collect one item every 2 days. I’m now at level 1974 so I had time to learn it :)

Okay game but…

It’s not a bad game but there are flaws. One main thing is when you do the puzzle of the day and you earn stars to complete a picture the game doesn’t give you all the stars you earn. Example pictures need a certain amount of stars and you can earn up to 8, 10, 12 stars but I only get 3 stars and a picture needs 4 stars to complete. Why don’t I get all my stars? One time I completed the puzzle and earned 15/15 stars and only received 4 enough to complete the picture. What’s the purpose of the puzzle to earn 15 stars but you don’t even get to keep them all? Today I earned 10/12 and I only received 3 stars and didn’t complete the picture of the day. Picture needed 4 stars. It is also very repetitive and gets boring after a few days.

Good Game, Bad Event Handling

I've enjoyed the game quite a bit and other than several words that don't make it into the game's dictionary for various reasons, it's still fairly fun to play. My ONLY complaint is how events are handled. No I don't want to play the different events that pop-up, and yes I already know how to play them I don't need to be reminded how to play every. single. event. Let me choose how I want to play, don't force me into learning how to play the event again, and don't force me to click buttons I didn't want to click explaining the proper way to play the event. I've already played several of them! Stop telling me that I'm playing the event incorrectly. every. single. event. Just let me play how I want!

Addictive. Repetitive. Endless

After 96 consecutive days I finally reached what I thought was the end - level 6070 - only to see a mysterious level 6071 lying in wait like some final boss. An exceptionally difficult puzzle, perhaps, as a final challenge? Nope, just 40 new levels opening up. When that was done, yet another 40. With no end in sight, time to stop. The game is fun enough, with all the addictive trappings to keep you tapping and swiping ad nauseam. What I disliked most was the sheer repetitiveness of words from level to level. You’ll be typing basic words like TEAR and RATE, MEAN and NAME, SALE and SEAL hundreds if not thousands of times, often in consecutive levels. The game could (and should) be culled to maybe 1000 levels for the sake of variety and increasing difficulty. And it needs to end!
