Upfront info: -There's an ad between every level, but they're very short and easily skipable within seconds.-If you switch tabs while playing, when you come back to the game, you're met with a quickly skipable ad.-There is a very reasonably priced ad-free version of the game available for $9.99 USD.-Levels are not "losable" and are untimed.Straight up, this game is AMAZING, probably my favorite game installed on my phone. I play it every day. I haven't bought a single thing and the ads are manageable. I partake in ever aspect of this game. The standard levels, busts, daily tasks, and timed painting exhibitions.You cannot watch ads for hints, but the game is very generous with giving out hints, which is nice. I use them very rarely when I play the monthly bust challenges and get stuck.Biggest gripe: The game is a little formulaic and you can see patterns between each level, knowing where the "good words" start on the board reducing the difficulty of finding words to spell out.Best thing about the game: -It is completely untimed!-You can play without spending a penny ALL DAY. No lives or limits on levels. You can literally play all day and have a fun time for free.Takeaway: If you like word games, give this game a chance! You'll enjoy it and hopefully feel inclined to leave a good review. The game already has great reviews, but it needs more. 1000%, the best word game in the app store.Please, if you love word games, download and play for a day. Then review explain why you love it. This game is amazing and FREE and you should give it a chance!
