Crossword - Word Hike 4+

I have been playing for about a month and a half and look forward to playing at least one round everyday - two crosswords and two logic crosswords. They also have a matching game for extra prizes. There’s a daily elimination trivia game with the option to watch an ad to continue on a wrong answer. I had to use it on the final round, but the ad crashed the game. I contacted support through the game, and they responded within an hour with compensation. I find the mandatory ads to be minimal, but I like being able to choose to watch ads for clues, boosters, or extra chances. It’s one of the few games for which I would consider purchasing the remove ads package. Thanks, y’all.

I enjoyed it until the minor flaws got old. Would have been tremendously better: 1) without the animations, with 2) even slightly better grammar, and 3) without the constant pluralization. You’re timed on completion. Okay. But then there are these indulgent animations that make you stop in the middle of spelling a word. When can you start again? Who knows! You also can’t type “over” existing letters - suppose the word is chimney, but the “i” and “n” are already in place, you’d better spell it “chmey”. Okay, but awkward. Nearly everything is plural, even if it doesn’t make sense for it to be. And lastly, grammar! Hint: Not having the adventurous. So it apparently means “calms”, but why is “having” part of the hint, and why is it plural? Most of the words are elementary school level, so I guess they make it harder with poorly written hints. Lots of tiny words, so they make them a smidge longer by pluralizing with “s” or “es” or such?? Oh and lots of the answers are multiple words when a better answer would have been a single word from a slightly more advanced reading level. I don’t know if this was a conscious choice or if the developers were non-native speakers.

Hi ShadowNuke, sorry for the late reply.
Thank you for your insightful feedback for as it has been relayed to our developers.

We are constantly improving the overall flow and difficulty level of Work Hike through an intergrated Feedback System, where players can report any grammer or spelling issues with just a click of a button. All mistakes are reviewed and corrected on a weekly basis.

The complexities of our levels increase gradually with each new world the players unlock. It is of the utmost importance for us to, not only, create a word game that can satistfy the curiosity of players of all levels, but also an environment that grows with the players as they progress.

Thank you for your contribution to Word Hike.🥰

The poor grammar and spelling on the crossword puzzles is bad enough, but when your logic game specifically tells you the answer for a specific cell, and when you finally give up, and watch another two minute long ad for the game to populate the answer, and it’s not even a word that fits the topic, not to mention so far away from the hint given, it’s really beyond annoying. And please pick a single version of the English language. The bouncing from American English to British English and back again is far more distracting than the animations. And please hire a fluent English speaker to write these clues and hints, because mismatched tenses, and lack of proper articles of speech gets very old. As do the several minutes long ads we are subjected to throughout the gameplay. If the rest wasn’t so poorly done, I might be convinced to pay to stop forced ads, but I’m not spending money on you when you can’t be bothered too spend money on your game. I expect I’ll be deleting this game soon. If I could give less than one star I would.

We sincerely apologize for the frustrations you've encountered with the grammar, spelling, and inconsistencies in the crossword puzzles and logic games. We understand how important it is for the content to be clear and well-constructed, and we appreciate your suggestions regarding language consistency and improving the quality of the clues. We also recognize that excessive ads can disrupt your gameplay experience, and we are continuously working on balancing ad frequency while maintaining a free-to-play model. Your insights are invaluable to us, and we will certainly pass them along to our development team for consideration in future updates.
