Like, so slay
Fri Jun 06 2025 Dakota_The_SlayOk, this game is close to perfect. There aren’t that many adds, there are fun competitions, and I have fun while playing. There are a few things that I would like to change, though. First, the games aren’t that challenging. I never use any hints, and end up making a ton of bonus words. It would be nice if I could have a bit more difficulty. Then again, I only started a few days ago. I’m on, like, level 130-something. Also, when I enter my nickname, (which would normally be Dakota_The_Slay) the game lets it stay like that for a while, but then shortens it. I understand if it’s just too long, but I don’t get how it shortens it after around a day or less. It kinda bothers me. One more thing: the game sends out an uncanny amount of notifications. I would be ok with, like, one a day, but the amount I get is inappropriate. I’ll be getting eight messages a day… like what the heck. 😒 Otherwise, it’s all good. I know these complaints are really small, which is why I’m still giving it a 5/5. It doesn’t matter to me if they get fixed or not, those are just some pet peeves. So long, those of you who bothered to take a look at this insignificant review for this brief interval of your life. If you get this wonderful game, I’ll be seeing you.
There's better apps out there with the same concept
Thu Mar 25 2021 jenbjenbjenbjenbThe game is fun at first, but has a lot of faults. You have to pay to access the coins that you earn in game, they're held in a "piggy bank" but aren't stored there until you've played for a while, so you can access them at first but can't later (you need coins for hints, which you'll need after a while, trust me). The app doesn't recognize all words in the dictionary as actual words, so it limits the bonus words you can accumulate (which help you earn coins that you CAN access). The amount of ads is actually ridiculous, I don't think I've ever downloaded a game before with the amount that this one has in it. There's an ad after every game, even if it's only 3 words that need to be found, and every time you open the app. I started only playing this game when I wasn't connected to wifi and turned off my data so I didn't have to deal with them. There's also daily challenges where they want you to watch EVEN MORE ads. The app will host tournaments where you can earn a lot of coins if you win, but once you approach higher levels the amount of coin prizes drops. When I first started the tournaments there were awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but the most recent tournament I entered only had a prize for first place, so unless you play the game 24/7 you won't win. The theme is cute and if you like these kind of words games then you'll have fun, but all of the issues I stated above are why I'll be deleting the game.
Pretty much what jenbjenbjenb said plus a total death
Thu Sep 09 2021 Mortimer's FriendI was liking this game. I am not one to put out cash to play, but I did as the initial amounts were small. Then not so small. I gave up on the piggy banks when I had to shell out $7.99. I did not need the coins anyway. The tournaments were interesting also. I run the game on my two iPads (one for home and one for travel) so I had two separate games going. I was using my home iPad and the screen went dead black. Out of charge…nope. The game went black. When I reloaded it I got the first screen…then fade to black. I went to my travel iPad and the same happened. 🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔 oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
Second review 9/9/21
Ugh! Huge ugh! I have never played a game with more glitches! I lose time, I lose coins, I lose my patience. I sit through an ad, glitch to black. I reboot. I watch an ad for coins, glitch to freeze or to black. I reboot. I am giving them one more week, and I am gone if I see no update improvements. I am so very glad I did not sink more money in this game. 😡🤬
Very fun, despite a few minor issues
Wed Jul 13 2022 untitled1.jpgI’m on the penultimate level of this game (which is Tonga, as of 26 Nov 2019), and have overall had a great time playing it. My quips are: 1) certain words that are very clearly existing words are not counted; this occurs both with singular or plural forms of certain words that are counted in their other form (“layouts” is counted while “layout” is not, even though the app’s dictionary’s first entry for “layouts” is “plural form of layout,” e.g.) as well as with a plethora of random words (“lust” won’t be counted even though “lusty” is, e.g.); and 2) the Daily Challenge is occasionally designed in such a way where you literally have to just guess which word is going to fill a certain space when multiple words could potentially fit and be correct in the “crossword” schema. For instance, say both “act” and “ace” would fill the space in the puzzle equally appropriately; you have to guess one or the other, and guessing incorrectly forces you to lose points toward the daily challenge that you’d otherwise have been guaranteed (not all Daily Challenge puzzles include these frustrating elements—some, that is, are able to be solved in a more precise and accurate way instead of having to guess randomly at where certain words have been arbitrarily placed).
Victoria review
Thu Nov 23 2023 Victoria menna 03Hey guys it’s me again I actually figured out a way to make it work for me because I just things of money I put a good five dollars Fred but it was definitely worth it so originally I gave it a start because of all the issues I had and if you saw my first review you’ll know what I’m talking about is basically kept on kicking me out I mean we download and everything like that so I just want you guys to know that don’t say that reveal cause I think it’s a fun game like a lot and I really like it it’s good for long car rides so if you’re ever bored in the car and do you wanna play Word Search go to Crossword Jam because it’s a really really really fun game so yeah this is why I’m gonna be giving it three stars I didn’t get much better but I did get somewhere I got two full stars that are the only two reasons why I didn’t give it the extra two stars is because I soft watch ad and you didn’t you just get help without having to pay for it that is still annoying anyway if you need help just ask them you don’t have to pay any of your money right now the actual money in the game is a big money why do you have to pay for that why did you run out and you still need help like cause it’s rude really rude so yeah I love you guys bye
Not as good as I thought.
Fri Apr 26 2019 45678*;While the game starts being so exciting and new, one eventually runs out of good words. Some words like 'isle' and other repetitious words can always get you out of a jam. However, eventually the game becomes predictable. Sometimes one spell words knowing they are indeed correct and should be able to obtain mega bonus points, the game does not recognizes them and you don't get the bonus for the effort. Sometimes I connect the letters and form the correct word however it does not catch. It seems the game wants me to use all my bonus points but the object is to leave me without bonus points for when I really are in a jam. When this occurs, it really becomes frustrating because the cue to the initial word in question, is the same word I just connected. And I was right. Not good. It seems that if you want to improve people's brains, redesign the game to include a comprehensive on command dictionary. For those words that are unfamiliar to you. So, this game helps you to parrot and repeat usual words. Not so much brain exercising but mimicking and parroting. Not so much de eloping brain. More like a broken record. Copy some traits like Kindle. It has a comprehensive dictionary for those words you want to learn meaning to. Then, you learn to use them properly. It also has a Wikipedia link and Internet link. I do't mean to through shade. Only providing points so the game could be a real brain exercise.
Crossword Jam
Mon Sep 07 2020 okie tooTHIS GAME CHEATS. IT WITHHOLDS POINTS AND FINALLY STARTS EXITING THE GAME REPEATEDLY. WORST GAME EVER.
This started out great! It quickly became my very favorite game! In fact, I am currently on Game 2360, country is Montenegro, and the percent of people completing that game is 0.85%. Now...the problem is that for the last few countries the game has cheated me out of Bonus Points. It will either turn to a black screen or just not give the points. It varies. I first thought it was just a one time thing or maybe a few days’ thing. Wrong. I also questioned my internet but that was not an issue either. The withholding of points worsened as I continued completing the games and going on to the next country. It is now to the point that I rarely get any points at all. Today it didn’t give me the consecutive day points. This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. In the beginning and 3/4 of the way to where I am I would give it a five star rating. Now I wouldn’t even give it one star. The puzzles are difficult enough as I progress. Crossword Jam should not cheat and withhold points. Shame on them.
I TAKE AWAY THE ONE STAR I GAVE THIS GAME IN MY PREVIOUS POST. It will NOT let me proceed. It keeps blanking the screen and exiting out of the game—repeatedly. Currently I am on game 2505 and the country is Bolivia. I have tried and tried and it will not let me finish the game. In addition, it WILL NOT GIVE me ANY points even though I earn them.
New frenzy mode
Fri Jul 11 2025 PICOBOY BIRDYI agree with the previous reviewer regarding this new frenzy mode. It takes all of the challenge out of the game. I am still experiencing players who are not on the board while I was playing a puzzle and in first place, and when I finish the puzzle I am in second place with an unknown previous player 3000 points ahead of me. I also noticed that the developers never respond to any of the feedback from users. I have loved playing this game for many years. I have won 129 1st Pl. challenges and have 59,900 points. Sadly, I believe that I am finished with this game. What a shame that developers do not even take the time to respond to the people who keep them in business.
July 11,2025 I just finished the 28 day challenge, I did not receive my bonuses for the silver or gold awards, but I did receive for the bronze. This new challenge has kept me playing the game for a longer time each day. But if the rewards are not granted, then why play it? I enjoy playing daily because it is relaxing for me. However, it’s very disappointing when rewards are not granted when they are earned. I hope the developers will see this and respond. And no, I cannot send you a screenshot of something that did not happen.
Ads are Inappropriate
Thu Dec 30 2021 theater_kid2919Hi to whoever is reading this. Crossword Jam is a great game, but has constant ads, and most of them are frightening or inappropriate. The last ad I saw was an advertisement for a pill that makes you lose weight. This kept popping up over and over, so I just turned off my Wifi and played that way. There was another ad that was about “Royal Match”, and the ads are frightening. One of the so called “Playable Ads” showed a king underwater, and you had to solve a puzzle to keep him from drowning. If you want to make a game that kids can play, can you at least make the ads appropriate? Please and thank you?
Also, some of the words that are in the dictionary are apparently incorrect when you match it up here. Isn’t RING a word? This is very annoying, especially when it’s the last word of the puzzle. Please fix this so these words are valid!
Otherwise, this app is great! The levels seem to go on forever and there are more than one hundred countries you can go through. The power-ups aren’t bad at all, and the levels are challenging.
Keep your eyes open! It Cheats!
Thu Sep 07 2023 culturedpearlUpdated review: I’ve been playing this game a long time and all the issues that plagued it when I started are still there. In fact the loss of points has gotten even worse. I think I actually get points about one out of ten games! All the garbage that pops up right in the middle of playing is awful. I can be right in middle of making a word and the bonus word jar will pop up saying it’s full with only one word in it, as well as the piggy bank stating it’s full. Then there’s the other ridiculous pop ups also right in the middle of the game. At least me finish the word. if you’re right handed, the word hint (costs 120 points) is right at your knuckle and I’ve lost almost all my points by simply tapping my knuckle on the button when I’m making a word. It either needs moved or have the option of not using it. It needs some serious work to get a 5 star rating, as it’s far from it. NO POINTS AWARDED after Royal Match Ads.
SECOND Update😡 Now all the new ads that don’t have a 5 second limit, DO NOT AWARD ANY POINTS! No point in sitting through them when you’re just cheated anyway.
