Ruzzle 4+

Great stress reliever 💃🏾😂

I’ve been playing this game for yeeeeaaars! I ❤️ this game! I read some of the negative posts & even I’m sorry that some are unhappy with Ruzzle especially thinking the app is designed in a way to cheat... I’ve made a few genuine Ruzzle friends, some were even relatives of each other! I have learned over the years how to earn the ink, so I haven’t spent money since I paid years ago to get rid of the ads & my first purchase of ink & I don’t even remember how much that was 🤷🏾‍♀️ the only thing I need help with just started recently: the free help I earn daily that I save to use during my team play, the videos are taking much longer to play. At first I thought it was my phone, but after I hit one of them 4 times in a row for the first time & realized it used up all my free ones & still had to use my ink for 100 & this has happened several times within the past 2 weeks. And a few times it’s happened with my ink too... 😕 So I’m like ok, time to notify my Ruzzle fam 😂😂 because I’ve never had a customer service issue with you guys, nor have my Ruzzle friends that I’ve referred to y’all when they’ve had questions or issues! Let me know if I need to email 📧 ☺️

Good game, but ads are way too long

The game is pretty good and the random matchup system works well to find similarly skilled players. But the ads after every single game are too much, and take too long. It takes less time to close and reopen the app than it does to get through an ad. Crazy. Team play is underwhelming, and both team games and events are designed to make you use coins for power ups. I don’t think a puzzle game like this should have power ups, but it’s a minor issue and not available in the regular matches, thankfully. Overall, solid game, best of the boggle-like games I’ve played, but the ads are the biggest problem. I know the devs need to make some money, but these ads just take way too long, some require multiple clicks, each with their own timers, to get past them.

ADDED NOTE: Dev’s response to this review says that ads can be passed after 6 seconds, which would be reasonable, but is unfortunately not the truth. Most ads require you to wait roughly six seconds before the double arrows come up to pass it, but then an App Store page for the app being advertised comes up (which you must click “done” on), and then ANOTHER 6 second timer comes up to pass a third page, all for the same ad. Three separate clicks with their own timers for one ad is just ridiculous. Alternatively, I’ve been getting ads where there is a ten-second timer, which doesn’t start right away. I would be thrilled to have ads with a 6 second timer, and would not have complained.

Not as enjoyable as before

I came to Ruzzle on the recommendation of a reviewer for Word Crack (Mix 2) after that game drastically changed (for the worse). Once I got used to the differences, I found it to be a good substitute and a satisfactory way to scratch my word puzzle itch. But after the recent change, I find it just isn’t quite as good anymore.

Previously, when you challenged a random opponent, you were able to play first and then wait for someone to join the game; now you have to wait for them to play first. And when you are playing a round, there is no longer a pause button, which is extremely inconvenient. Sometimes you need to step away for a moment—go to the bathroom, answer the phone, etc.—and being able to suspend the gameplay until you could return was nice. And somehow, I just don’t seem to do as well in terms of both the number of words I find and the total score I achieve as I used to, and I’m not sure why that is.

I have severely curtailed my playing of this game, and I may end up nixing it right alongside Word Crack. (Why can’t anyone stick with a nice, simple, straight-forward word puzzle game?)
