Wordscapes 12+

I’ve been playing Wordscapes for a few years now, so I admit to being slightly addicted! But over time, some flaws do show that lead to some frustration and annoyance.

Some puzzle words can be repeated 2-3 times over a few hours of play, yet others may not be seen/played for weeks at a time. I wish I could remember the exact words, but it’s happened multiple times for different words.

Another issue I have is with the Portrait events that allow you to collect sets of portraits that can be used as your personal portraits if you’d like. The events give you a special portrait if you collect all of the sets in the particular event — my issue is that, after playing some of these events for years, I cannot seem to collect all the portraits — there are always one or two that never see so the collection can’t be completed. And when I say years, I am not kidding! I’ve been unable to complete the Halloween portrait event for the past two years. Working on the Christmas event now and collected approximately 60 ‘gifts’ that revealed no new portraits over the past 24 hours. Looks like I won’t finish this event either unless I find time to play 20 hours a day to maybe collect these elusive portraits.

I have been playing Wordscapes for 5+ years now and it’s been my favorite go-to game to pass time while still using my brain. It’s been great watching this game grow into what it have become, from the pet system, to earning pfps, the mount rush, all of it, I really like it. However, there are certain things that really take away from the motivation to play and enjoyability. One being the incessant number of ads in the game. I purchased the no-ads feature, but the sheer number of ads you get for completing a level or tapping out of the game for a quick second are ridiculous. I get that everyone has their money to make but come on you guys. My other issue with this game is that it seems like it is intentionally keeping you from earning top grade rewards. I do the Wednesday-Thursday challenge of earning profile pictures and the drop rates for certain pictures are way too low. There are two sections I’ve been grinding for over a year now because I am only missing one part for the picture and it won’t drop. I just went through 35 boxes, and it would not drop that one missing picture and that is frustrating. I have the same issue with mount rush, but I won’t get into that. Other than that, the game is fantastic. As a long time player, I hope you guys see this review and really take it into consideration. Thank you!

I want to give it 5 stars my wife and me over being boyfriend and girlfriend into fiancés into marriage for our entire relationship this game was our nightly routine and we LOVED it even all the additions of the animals etc became inside jokes and fun for us…. But thanks to apple out dating my phone I couldn’t take pictures on our honeymoon not enough space so I erased all my apps thinking I’ll just re download them after our trip… after doing so everything is gone… we lost all of our coins gems portraits animals hints rockets bullseyes bees EVERYTHING back to level one. There is no way to link and access everything again I’ve tried. Messaged support multiple times and had one response that said they might be able to help us yet days later I haven’t gotten a response again… from being our favorite app as it became a core memory for us to now not even wanting to open it again I think I need to just accept and delete it cause now it’s just sad and disappointing since we were easily past 1k in levels etc.. if you never delete it this app was 5 stars enjoy it. But if you lose it all it’s not worth going back after playing for years.
