Like it's trying to make me lose my streak..... every time I get around 160 ish days in a row done, it always has some kind of error or doesn't want to load until after ten when it'll break my streak.....whyyyyyyy
★★★★☆mike giese· Jul 18, 2026
I enjoy playing these puzzles, but almost every day the app crashes at the very end, and I lose credit for that puzzle. This is frustrating.
★★★★★Mike Marzec· Sep 28, 2026
Love playing every day. The game crashes often. The Word Seeker game will reset to none played and force the player to spend coins to earn rewards. Happens almost every time.
★★☆☆☆Natalie Egerton· Jan 13, 2026
Have enjoyed this app for years, however there's now an advert banner over the top line of the crossword making it unplayable
★★☆☆☆Rosemary Klein· Apr 1, 2026
I liked the puzzles, but could only really get coins when watching ads...coins were spent without asking!
★★☆☆☆Dodi Lettus· Nov 1, 2025
The banner ad blocks the entire top row of the crossword puzzle. Used to be fun to play, but this is just annoying.
