Fun and challenging but with glitches
05/05/2023

I’ve had this game for over a year now and I don’t go a day without playing. It’s a fun way to challenge your brain and learn a few new words here and there. It’s easy to use and pretty straightforward. But there have been a few issues with the game. Sometimes it won’t accept a word but then the next day when I check the answers it will show I missed that word. A few weeks ago the puzzle of the day had most of the letters from the previous day’s puzzle, and I had seen on the answer list a word that would work on the current puzzle, yet when entered it wouldn’t accept it. It had the required letter and everything. Why is it accepted one day but not the next? I’ve had a few occasions where a word is accepted on one puzzle but not again on another one. There are also common words that aren’t accepted, like “orzo” or “aloud” which can be frustrating when some obscure words are on the answer sheet. Most recently I’ve noticed the hint option is now gone, which would give you a vague hint to what the pangram was. I enjoy the game but wish these things would be fixed.

Thank you so much for your review! At times we have added words soon after puzzle release, you must have been quick to catch them! Thanks to your review we have added "orzo" to our list. We remember the terrible night when "aloud" was missed, the person responsible has been punished (...it was me)

I love this game and it is so fun and cute! I especially love that they post the prefixes on twitter so that you can try to get all of the words! Unfortunately they don’t seem to have a system that posts it automatically and they forget to do it every few days which makes the game just like any other pangram. I wish they would fix that so that the puzzle can be enjoyable everyday! Other than that there are sometimes words that should clearly be included but are not so that’s a little weird. But overall I love this game and can’t wait to see it get a little more together

Thank you for your lovely review. We do sometimes forget to post 😬 however we are looking at including the prefix list (or something similar) in the app itself, so hopefully that will help you out!

I’ve tried a couple of pangram apps and this is by far my favorite. I love how when you start typing a word, the list at the top changes as you type to show you words you’ve already submitted that start with the letters you’re typing. That makes it easier to see if you’re trying to submit a word you’ve already submitted. The app design overall is also just very cute, cute, and simple. Love it. I like the random bonus pangrams you get too. I wish there was more of that (like mini games or something?). I also like the prefix lists they share on social and hope they add those to the game. Overall I would def recommend this app to word game lovers!

Thank you! We've now included prefix lists in the game (tap "reveal words" on the word list). We're working on some new mini-games!

A new daily “fix”

My wife and I really enjoy word games and this is perhaps our favorite ever! We look forward to the new puzzle every day and after about 15 minutes when we both start to struggle we pool our words and work toward the “Wizard” level score together. Besides the nature of the word finding (which to be honest is similar to many other word games we have played), we really like the game’s retro aesthetics and the sometimes clever and humorous word definition each puzzle provides for a subset of the found words. Also, being able to play just one puzzle a day keeps it fresh (yes, we purchased the “Daily Puzzle” subscription).
