When I read the reviews of the game I saw people complaining about ads and I figured it was going to be one of those games where you can’t even finish your turn without having to watch a 60 second ad. I was pleasantly surprised that is not the case. There is a small ad banner at the top while you play and after your turn is over there is what is usually a very brief ad. Lots of coins to be earned by a daily free spin the wheel and 25 coins free every hour. You can get more by watching ads. I haven’t had to much because the coin for finishing a round is decent plus the coins from finding missing words. Gameplay is challenging without being impossible. Very fun way to spend a little time.

This game is fun. Like, really addictive. I only have one real qualm with it and that’s that when I first started, it didn’t give me any ads after the levels, just the banners at the top (which is to be expected). Then, it started giving me an ad every two levels, then an ad after every level. I appreciate that it doesn’t interrupt the level, but it felt a little deceptive to try and hook us on the game before barraging us with ads. Otherwise I have no real complaints. The fact that the levels are seemingly randomized in terms of letters is both a blessing and a curse; sometimes I get bad RNG and get stuck with letters like X or Z with no available vowels, but if I replay the level it has different letters. I do think I like this more than I dislike it solely because it provides an exercise for my brain, and I also appreciate the opportunity to get the lost words. I’m a big completionist and go for 3 stars on every level plus the bonus, and sometimes I have to replay a level several times to get it all. I do love that if I get the bonus once, I don’t have to get it again to also get three stars. I can do it in two runs if I need. Overall, good game. The ads are a bit much, but not so bad that I dislike the game.

It’s a relaxing and enjoyable game, I’ve been addicted to it recently. Unlike some other games, it gives you good in-game rewards and the ads aren’t as obnoxious as the other games. I have a few frustrations regarding the game though. Sometimes the banner ads show up in such a way that I can’t access parts of the screen and I can’t exit out of them either. This doesn’t happen often so it’s not a big deal. I like the incorporation of challenges in the game to give you a goal to work towards, but some of the challenges are seemingly impossible to complete unless you’re a master of the game. That’s just a skill issue though I guess, but I wish the challenges were more reasonable for my level. My last frustration has to do with the content of the ads. Some of the ads show vulgar imagery, videos, and language. One example was for an underwear advertisement but language on the explicit side was used to describe the private parts in more detail than I’d like and the ad did close-ups on said private parts (albeit clothed in the underwear but still very visible). It makes me feel uncomfortable and disgusted and I wish there was a way to stop being shown these ads.
