Love this game, but…
Sun Feb 12 2023 Thisbe 13I wish that when you use the gavel to reveal a tile with a butterfly that it DIDN’T give you the butterfly without you getting the word right. I found this out by accident, and haven’t done it since because I would feel pathetic cheating on a game. The next best thing would be if it just wouldn’t let you select a tile with the butterfly, so no one could cheat.
The trick to doing well in the tournament is to play it like a crossword puzzle and play for the butterflies. Now I have scraps of paper with words written all over them, and sometimes have the whole puzzle figured out before entering a single word. Sometimes I get it wrong, and lose the butterfly for that puzzle, but that’s part of the fun of playing a game— the challenge.
The daily challenge is the same way. You have to figure out the words with the suns in the order it comes up or you won’t get the sun for that word. I average 12 suns per puzzle, with my highest being 16. Once you get 160 suns in a month, you can’t win any more gift boxes, but you get 5 gems per sun.
I also wish that on the medallion days they would put the medallions more often on a letter that appears twice. That way you have to be sure to hit the right letter to get the medallion. It just makes it more of a challenge so that you can affect the score, rather than having it be a predetermined outcome.
I do really love the game, and it’s much more affordable than other in-app purchase games I’ve played.
Love game but has glitch that steals credits
Wed Jul 13 2022 Nevanate's TuTuI really love this game. The puzzles are simple enough to be relaxing rather than frustrating. I also love the fact that you earn 25 jewels every time you tally up 25 words that weren’t in the puzzles.
However, once you have 25 words, you get the option to watch an ad to double the jewels to 50. Unfortunately, approximately 2 out of every 5 times, you watch the add and the 25 never turns to 50. I feel like I got ripped off every time because I pay for no ads but watch them to earn jewels which I often never get. Sometimes it also crashes just at the moment the jewels are going to be added and when you reboot—no added jewels at all. I get so frustrated by this so of course I tried to “contact” them as instructed but the email address is bogus and does not work (just leads to an error message).
If this gets fixed, I will keep playing but if not I will probably delete the app. There are about 10,000 crossword puzzle apps out there and I just don’t want to feel ripped off.
Un-Responsive Customer Service
Wed Apr 12 2023 MountairyWhy do you keep responding to these reviews with the same response that answers nothing? Your answer never specifically addresses the specific problem. It is always a bland response to everyone!
One star because 1- it was NOT at all the game advertised and I hate it when developers mislead potential players with false ads and when developers IGNORE the player who questions this by refusing to address this underhanded advertising and 2- no one has responded to my help request….not one word! I had several concerns/ questions for the development team so I contacted them through “help” in the game. I have tried three times to get a response to no avail. Their silence speaks volumes. I have played just under 200 levels with just one ad, but I am sure they are coming. I cannot fully review without experiencing how they professionally use ads….how many, how long, how interrupting and last, but certainly not least, content. If they try to explain away ads as the responsibility of a third party, I won’t buy into the excuse. I have seen signs of this in some reviews and always always the money-grab offer to buy an ad-free version, which we all know will not be ad free. The developer cannot pass off bad advertising on someone else. It is ultimately their app, their brand, their name, and so the responsibility for what happens under that name falls to them.
Rigged Money Scam
Thu Jun 08 2023 kfdjvstdk. feklj rsgI love the game, I love the challenges and the competing against other people, and I absolutely love ❤️ the daily puzzles, but unfortunately, the game is a rigged money scam🤯😤. So you have like a limit of times you can spin the daily wheel 🛞, I think it’s like 7 or something. But anyway, the numbers go up each time you spin, so say I get 15, after I get it, it resets and turns into 45, so I spun the wheel enough times to where all the numbers are at like 100 and something, but after that, I spin it again and it takes me to a different, special wheel, but you need $3 to spin it, even though it has higher rewards, who’s parents buy that for them? So if I get the wheel and I don’t pay the $3 to spin it, they give me another chance to spin to supposedly get something different, mind you, it gave me that same $3 wheel 5 TIMES IN A ROW, so I just keep getting another chance, and they’re doing that so that you get so annoyed that you just keep getting that same wheel, it makes you buy it, even as an adult, if you like stimulating word games, I advise you, get this game, just be very careful spinning the wheel so you don’t fall in that spiral of a money scam.
How and why I love this game
Wed Jan 24 2024 As a😴I love this game. It is so fun. It is so challenging. I love this game because it has so many words that you wouldn’t think of well you might not think of and the only thing I do not like is so many ads but you can get a thing for $10 with no adds for the rest of the game. My mom had it on her phone and she’s on level like 300 and I am only on like 18 out of like I don’t know a bunch. but I just wanted to say if you like challenging and fun and word games to find you can get wow it is the game that I have and Is so cool in a fun way to learn words and all different stuff and I just wanted to say how fun it was and I like writing reviews on games because I like it and the games are so fun so there is a movie that y’all can have for people to see because they might want the game and they read the reviews they’re
Won’t even publish this review!!!! Worthless!!!Not worth it
Thu Aug 31 2023 Disgusted4567Enjoyable game BUT…even after paying to play ad free, there are still too many ads to get any points. The “spins” require watching ads to get points. The spins are also rigged to landing on another spin slot that requires payment. Even if you hit a slot that doesn’t require payment, the points are minuscule. It’s impossible to get enough points to use for one or two games. Then you’re stuck watching ads if you’re in a time frame that allows you to spin again. Could be a good game but the hoops you have to go through to get anything make worthless. Not worth the hassle. Additional complaint about this worthless app. Yet another way the game is rigged. What’s the point of having a final reward if you make it so completing EVERY daily PUZZLE still doesn’t give reward???!!!!!!???? That’s WRONG!!!! You don’t allow a player to use those points on the next month. Worthless game that is rigged in so many different ways. It’s enjoyable but the way you’ve rigged it makes it frustrating and extremely disappointing to play. As much as I like the puzzles, I’ll delete this game because of the way it’s rigged. Also, your “response” to my first review was as worthless as this game so don’t even bother!!!
This is not right!
Tue Sep 20 2022 poppysladyI love this game. However, I just discovered as I did today’s puzzle, three days worth 9/17, 17 and 18 were taken away as if I didn’t play them. So now I have to buy more coins in order to get the credits that I previously won. This is ridiculous and not right! It’s just a way to get more money from me! Also, as I am playing a game, if I click on a hint for 100 points, sometimes they will take 200 points instead. I have been playing for a few months now and luckily have amassed over 20,000 points. Is this a way to make me spend more money because since I have that amount, I don’t have to buy more. I would definitely like an explanation. I would also like to have those three daily games restored or at least give me the coins necessary to play them again. I would love to have written a wonderful review, but if you set my account right I will give a 5 star review when it is corrected. So I just went back to the game and find that four more coins were taken away and now I have only three coins left instead of the seven I had before I wrote this review!!
Love WOW but….
Wed Jun 29 2022 Nerdsn2I play games a lot. This was one of my top games until I ran out of sapphires the first month. I have been playing 4 months, now. So, if I miss one day on the daily challenge, I cannot go back to it, even if it’s in the same month. I even played the wrong puzzle rushing one night and skipped a day. I started to do an in game purchase but decided to wait to see how the sapphire replacement occurs for free. Once, I realized there is no way to renew them for free. I decided to just spend my time on the game on the daily challenge. Initially, I was hooked. To me, it stimulates my thought processes, lol. But once I figured out, I have to spend money not because I want to but because that is the only way to complete the missed daily challenges (in the same month), it became easier for me minimize game time. I am not able to get sapphires when I spin, in prizes or daily rewards. FYI: I don’t mind spending money in games. The creators have to get paid too; however, I like to make it feel like I want to not have to.
Great Game, Ad Is Stuck Forcing Me to Exit Game
Sun Apr 02 2023 tekknokatHello fugo devs who make Words of Wonder game. I am almost to giving this game 5 stars, but one of the ads is problematic. I just forgot the name of the game in the ad, every time the ad is shown, when it is complete an X is displayed, which usually allows a player to exit the ad and return to game play. Every time I see this ad which features grammar choices to complete sentences, like the user is asked if the word “then” or “than” is the correct word to complete the sample sentence, because they sound the same, but have different meanings. There is more than one game advertised that has this type of gameplay, but the one I am unable to exit is Word Connect 2023. One must exit the game and relaunch this game to return to game play. I searched for another contact method, will change my rating and review when it is fixed, the game is otherwise good.
Gem thief’s / customer support who???
Mon Sep 18 2023 ontheappstorecusimboredI never write reviews but I feel the need to warn others about this app. It’s a fun app, but there are too many others out there that do the same thing you should look into that have better support, and don’t intentionally rip you off. In this game, you get a daily “free” spin to win gems and then you can watch commercials to earn extra gems, which I like to do. I’ve noticed if you land on the lightening bolt (which strikes two numbers on the wheel), it does not add to your gem bank. I’ve noticed it several times and last week, it did it twice on me in the same day. I contacted support, not so much for the gems, but to report that there seemed to be a bug. They responded immediately and asked for screenshots, of which I sent back immediately. Since then, I haven’t heard a thing, even though I’ve reached back out because of the same issue. Today I literally got all lightening bolts totaling 395 gems and nothing was added to my total. I’m done, ridiculous!!
