Love Wordle

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

love these puzzles - good for the brain & keeps me interested.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

love the games on this app

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

crossword keyboard sucks

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

good games BUT the archive was patchy with highlighting what you have already played. Today everything has been reset including records. Now I have no reason to play archives I will cancel my subscription.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

for a subscription app, it needs work. I hate that it'll randomly double enter letters until restart. the crossword needs work, as I can only complete the smaller ones. the normal one bugs out and won't let me click or rotate random clues, which defeats the purpose of the puzzle and app. also, they need to pay people to examine the puzzles such as spelling bee, where one day a certain word won't work, and then many times a few days later that same word is now acceptable in the new puzzle.
