[I recalled subscribing in 3-month intervals, but didn’t recall it was only for ad removal (duh). I’ve now fully subscribed for a year and am able to move from one puzzle to the next easily, even when the date is 3 weeks ago! Thank you for suggesting I Restore Purchases, as that got me looking at the options again in light of my changed usage availability. I do love this game and am delighted to be able to play it without frustrations again.] (I’ve really enjoyed this game for many moons, and because I’m not able to keep up with it daily, I’ve been a subscriber for some time also. However, having to scroll through from the Today’s puzzles back to ones missed 2-3 weeks ago for every single missed puzzle—instead of being able to automatically move to the next youngest puzzle (as I was able to do enough [occasional] times to put up with when I wasn’t). However, now that it’s more than one week of scrolling, I’m feeling frustrated enough that I will NOT RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION unless it becomes possible to move through the entire month more automatically moving from oldest to newest puzzles. Thank you for an otherwise great game.)

The word puzzles get harder and harder and you need hints to solve it in some occasions. Yes, you do provide fifteen or so hints at the start. Although this is considerate and useful, if we use logic you can tell that it may be a little misplaced. You’re going to lose them all at the start with the easy puzzles and then when you’re solving the harder puzzles, all the hints are gone. Then there’s really no other solution. I really don’t want to have to pay for free hints—so if you’re like me and don’t have unlimited hints, what do you do? Search the answers up on the internet? That ruins all the fun, and then the game is kind of, well, worthless. Using hints will help you when you're truly stuck but it will not give away the whole answer. You don’t have to give everyone who downloads this app unlimited hints, but please think this over and possibly give us more hints. I think thirty hints would be a reasonable amount. Or maybe you could use one hint for each puzzle you solve, and if you solve one without using hints at all you can provide us with one more free hint. Other than the hints issue, this is an amazing, good quality app that entertains me while providing me with a little brain work. I do recommend this, and I would give five stars if the hints issue was resolved. Thank you!

I really enjoy this game. As I ‘play’ it I’m having fun but I’m also expanding my vocabulary. Whenever I come across a word I’m not familiar with I look it up in the dictionary for clarification of its meaning. Unlike solitaire or puzzles I don’t feel as though I’m wasting my time with this game because of its good influence on my “word bank”. Also I’m really good at it! I have been playing this game for well over 10 years. My son told me about it when I got my first smart phone and I have loved it ever since.I am now in my 80th year and I have 4 games on my IPhone that I play every day; Mah-jongg, solitaire add another word game called Word Coffee are the other three. I like to think playing these games gives my brain exercise and will keep me sharp hopefully. I do pay a fee to have ads free play, I can buy other puzzle packs which I have done and these can be used over and over because they give me the option to clear the answers and play them again. I really like the challenging clues they give you for these 7 Little Words puzzles. For me this is a very fun challenging and interesting game. Try it you may enjoy it too.

I loved the old, “plain” format. This new one is very hard for me to use. The 3D look, the colors, and general busy-ness of the screen are not an improvement. Please give me my old game back so I can restore my 5-star rating! ADDITION: I have been a 7 Little Words fan for years. I believe it was my first game app on my iPad years ago. It has started to take a long time to load, which may be due to the age of my iPad, but I am uninstalling and reinstalling it with the hope that might improve its performance. I will check back and let you know if it did. I do enjoy this game, but still prefer its old simplicity!UPDATE Aug. 17,2022I just heard back from Blue Ox following contact with them about how slow the game is loading. They told me that they were concerned about it too and are working to speed it up substantially. I have found them to be great in responding to inquiries and concerns and really look forward to a speeded up game. Thank you again, Blue Ox, for fast responses and one of my favorite games!
