Still want to give 5 stars, but

Man! I want to love this game & play it every day, but then I run up against an incomplete dictionary! It’s a word game! I gave it 3 stars before, but am rethinking that kindness and giving it 2. It accepts complicated and obscure scientific terms, but not the most basic American English vocabulary! So, here’s an example: pending is accepted, and defined as participle of ‘pend’, but ‘pend’ is NOT accepted as a word. What? How about a common fashion term ‘ruched’? How about the Scottish-Irish beret type cap ‘tam’? Lots of British English words, but very very weak on American English. How difficult is it to link to a good dictionary source?? Really, really want to give 5 stars, but the developers are missing the point of a word game. People that enjoy language find a good word game to be relaxing. It’s anything but when you get denied the existence of a common word! I’m currently just accepting the limitations and using it as an exercise of patience and acceptance. Should that be an issue, though?!

Fair review

I like word games. I especially like word games that I actually get to play with some continuity between ads. While I have absolutely no problem with ads in and of themselves, your advertisement which was what got me to download this game falsely stated that there were NO ads (which by the way is illegal - it’s called deceptive advertising and violates consumer protection laws governed by the federal trade commission (FTC) so you really should change that ASAP before someone reports you, there are free reporting forms for anyone to use on their website so if you leave it as it is, anyone can do it at anytime), the number of ads, the placement of the ads in the game during play, and the ads that were chosen are the problem. I play many games and many have ads. That’s not the point. You can also have ads if you do it tastefully. Currently your ads are soul sucking and crushing because of the frequency and type of ads. I am a woman. I don’t want to watch ads for games where if you “win” the mini game you get to strip the woman in the picture of her clothing. And I get that ad A LOT. It’s disgusting. I also get other similar ads and I have never in my entire life looked at or played any games like that on my phone or even looked at things like that on my phone. I’m giving you a chance here to fix this, however if not I will delete your app and be completely disgusted by your company. I look forward to hearing back from you!

What are the coins for?

I really enjoy the game and use it to wind down pretty often - 1,706 puzzles worth. What some people said about stressful ads featuring child endangerment and suffering is accurate, and, though they’re cartoons, it starts to defeat the purpose (of unwinding). But, I do enjoy the actual game itself. I’ve even spent some money on it out of curiosity. Some of the smaller words are darker and repetitive, and many words count as extra finds and don’t populate the answer bubbles until you put in a repetitive one. But, it’s just a little annoying and isn’t likely to stop me from using the app in the near future.
But I have to ask: what are the coins for? I have over 30,000 of them and I cannot figure out how they’re used. I see options to buy more but I haven’t the faintest idea why I would. Surely I’m just missing something on the app, but I haven’t been able to determine what.
