Wordle‪!‬ 17+

Ad Heavy

Update: latest revamp has increased tournament players from 10 to 25! Disheartening in the UK, waking up to scores from elsewhere in the world up in the thousands, (these people must not go to work for whatever reason), but you have no way of catching up. Can only score enough to maintain a level. Should have an option to not play a tournament without losing your level.

Seems to have an issue where the scores freeze mid tournament. You play and solve the words but the score doesn’t increase for several hours, sometimes too late to complete the tournament. Games are good, but the adverts - too many and so very long, all for other games that you don’t want. Thirty seconds of Candy Crush style rubbish pushed at you between nearly every game. Why not just have an unobtrusive banner at the top that you can either ignore or follow up if you’re interested? Other games manage this way.

Mixed feelings about update

New update is slicker, with better vocabulary. But even after buying the ad-free version I am interrupted with an offer to watch ads if I want to repeat a go (why would I want to do that?) with a delayed ‘no thanks’ option. It slows down the pace of the game and is unwelcome. Other buttons that load up ads are placed right next other function buttons so you can’t help loading up ads by mistake. It’s sneaky and dishonest to do that. Especially when customers have already paid for the ad-free version. I’m one of the customers who download the app initially expecting the online Wordle game, but I also like this game and I respect the approach the developers have taken in giving some of the unexpected revenue to charity. However - a paid-for ad-free version should be ad-free. Please lose the sneaky ad buttons within the game or at least move them out of the way.

Update: Latest update has made things worse not better. Even more ways to trick a player into watching an ad (even though paid for ad-free). Disrupts the game. Not enjoyable. Will now delete it the app. It’s a shame though.

Excellent at start but now more adverts than play deleted app

Started playing this a while ago and love the challenge but now it has excessive adverts which spoils customer experience. Yes you can pay the £10 or so to stop the adverts but not everyone can afford that. Literally now after every single word you get an advert. Cmon developers if Royal Match can offer a game without spoiling it with adverts, im sure you can find a way to at least reduce the amount. Or are you too greedy 🤬 Now its got even worse. Now there are numerous adverts from LOOP ME which you cannot get past. I end up having to switch my device off and back on to get around it. Cmon wordle get with it ADVERTS ARE DRIVING ME MAD!, you play one word and get an advert, take a second guess get an advert. AARRRGHHHH 🤬 New update May 2024 means ad after every single word guess. Object to paying £6.99 for ad free given feedback from those that have done this. Will give until next update to see if they listen to all the feedback and stop the volume of ads and if not will delete app and find something else. Money grabbing is all its for really
