Wordus 12+

Firstly, there are no instructions. This is intended to be like the game Wordle. yellorange= the letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot; green= the letter is in the word, and in the right spot; dark gray=the letter isn’t in the word. It’s pretty much the same, except that you can only guess a word a day in the original and this allows you to play (I suspect)infinite games. This is also a little more challenging. It still uses common enough words, but I don’t find it quite as intuitive or as easy as Wordle. In the games I’ve played, it’s used words with somewhat odd letter arrangements, though still common words. I’m honestly just looking for something relaxing and easy like the original game, maybe somewhat mindless lol. For those who like the original and want just a little more challenge, this is good. It’s challenging, but doesn’t use obscure words or words unfamiliar to a US English speaker or anything like that.

i like this game (basically Wordle that you can play constantly) and enjoy the challenge. it was fun and my go-to whenever i had a little time to pass. the newest updates/additions have made this game unplayable to me and i will be uninstalling the app after this review. recently they added ads to the game. i understand the need to generate revenue so the ads themselves don’t bother me. the fact that i need to watch part of the ad before i can skip the ad (pretty standard) then watch a shorter part of the same ad after i already pressed skip only to have to press skip AGAIN (seriously annoying) and then to make the user watch ANOTHER short segment of the same ad to be able to finally close the ad is too much, especially since the user has to endure this between each and every puzzle they want to play. my gf and i like to compare scores and compete (even though some words are more difficult than others and we’re never guessing at the same word) but the newest update created a pop-up screen at the completion of a puzzle that cannot be closed so you cannot go back and review or take a screen shot of the puzzle you just finished. i hope they fix some of these issues for future players. sadly, my gf & i will not be around to find out

I downloaded this game when it was a simple no-frills wordle knockoff. It had simple graphics, ran fast, and most importantly had no ads. I regretted eventually updating the game and seeing ads, but I caved and decided to pay to have the ads removed. But now with the recent update it doesn’t appear to be no ads anymore, despite paying. There’s an annoying lightbulb button on the keyboard that tempts you to push it, and without any warning launches you into a long ad that you can’t close out of without going to a purchase screen. I’ve not figured out what it does exactly because I don’t want to watch this whole ad, but more importantly, why is this ad-button even there if I paid to remove ads? Now it’s even worse, there’s an additional lightbulb button in the top right corner, which presumably does something different, but what that difference is I couldn’t tell you, as it seems to also take you to another ad. Finally the game has become super cluttered with new features, like these “gems”, whatever those are. Every update makes the game worse. I’m going to delete this and find a simpler truly ad-free wordle knock off.
