So fun to play and would definitely recommend to anyone. It’s a game that I play during free time and this game requires more thinking than other word puzzle apps.

Ads ruin an otherwise fun game

I like Sporcle and was optimistic when I saw that they were behind this game. The game itself is a fun little word/trivia game. The UI for selecting letters doesn’t seem very well thought out, having to drag a line to connect letters means your thumb gets in the way and makes it hard to locate the letters (exacerbated by the letters changing position after every answer); but those are minor annoyances and don’t ruin the game.But the ads. After 10 levels, I’m getting an ad after every single level. When it takes 30sec to complete a puzzle but you have to stare at a 45sec ad to get to the next level, it’s unacceptable. I would’ve paid .99¢ (maybe even $1.99) to remove ads but that doesn’t seem to be an option. Uninstalled and I don’t recommend it unless you really don’t value your time.

Thanks for trying out the game! We've reduced the frequency of the ads, and also allow players to remove ads forever if they don't want to see them anymore.

Ads! 👎🏻

The game itself is great. The problem came in when I got somewhere between level 40 and 50. At that point, ads for ridiculous, very questionable game apps started popping up between every level. And you have to sit and let those play for a good 30 seconds each time. I realize Sporcle has to make money somehow, but why didn’t those ads come up from the very beginning? And I actually subscribe to their website so I can play their games and quizzes there ad-free. How about an option for those of us who do that to log in and have this app be ad-free, too?

So much worse than the original

The new version is nothing like the original, and it has become worse in every way. Way too easy limiting your choices of letters, and the daily puzzles don’t even have clues so there’s no skill involved. Literally just guessing random words that are one letter different and hoping you get lucky. Really sad to see, the original sporcle word ladder was a ton of fun and it’s tragic they’re not releasing daily puzzles anymore.
