This solves the leaderboard issue introduced by the last update. - Fixed: Some players reported impossible Numbered Puzzles with the Foreign Language variation. Those puzzles should now generate valid puzzles. - Fixed: Challenges list should correctly display a text telling you 'there are no more challenges' for players who completed all challenges in an earlier version of the game. - Fixed: Various minor interface issues were resolved.

Puzzles initially alternate between Tangle Mode and Precise Mode puzzles, and early challenges are slightly less lengthy than before. - New: Challenge progress popups now remind you of the challenge when you start a puzzle, and show you that you're doing great when you're doing great while you're playing. - New: Polish and Swedish puzzle languages can now be selected from the settings, or will show up in puzzles with the Foreign Language variation. - New: The tutorial now has an extra step emphasizing the importance of picking up Plus Tiles in Tangle Mode puzzles. You'll get stuck if you don't! - New: Support for the new Apple TV Remote. - Improved: All menus have been redesigned. The play options are clearer, the panels are prettier, and the interface is now better positioned on landscape devices. - Improved: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly puzzles are all a bit smaller now. We especially would like the Daily mode to be small enough so it can be finished within 20 minutes. This does have the weird effect that many leaderboard entries will be the same, but we have plans to fix that in a future update… - Improved: You can now unlock the Weekly and Monthly puzzles by doing well in the Daily and Weekly puzzles respectively, regardless of your progress through the challenges. - Improved: We significantly reduced the size of the game. More space for videos of your cat on your device! - Improved: The pause menu now shows things relevant to the puzzle you're playing, not just… everything. - Improved: We redesigned the game demo that plays in the background of the menus to be prettier. - Improved: Tangle Mode puzzle generation was improved to make puzzles that are even more fun. - Improved: We improved the wording of some parts of the tutorial. - Improved: We added a reminder that you can sign in to Game Center through the Settings app when you're signed out. - Fixed: We dealt with a bunch of very random crashes. - Fixed: The game now catches more iCloud sync timeouts and shows you a less scary popup. - Fixed: Instead of being stuck at 99%, the 6 Monthly Puzzles achievement should now correctly be achieved when you would expect.

They disappear again after seeing them for a few seconds. - Added 11 new music tracks to wurdweb. - Added more moments where the game saves your Daily / Weekly / Monthly Mode puzzle progress. - Added more iCloud fail-safes and notices, so that iCloud fails less often but when it does, both you and us are aware of what’s happening. - Added a small in-game pop-ups showing what random puzzle options or what foreign language the game decided on. - Added the option to continue playing an expired Daily / Weekly / Monthly Mode puzzle, without submitting it to the leaderboards. - Added a ‘news scroll’ showing the current puzzle’s generation options to the pause menu. - Added ‘Reduce motion’ option to settings, which can disable the background scroll and reducing the amount of characters in puzzles. - Added ‘Replay tutorial’ button to settings. - Improved tutorial: clearer steps, fewer take-overs by the game, and a few more fail-safes for edge cases. - Improved word rotation by also rotating the dragging word when your cursor / pointer / finger is in proximity of a parallel word on the grid. - Improved word list for landscape screens by having it show more words. - Fixed the available screen resolutions check on startup on Mac’s with the M1 chip. - Fixed the nightly challenge not actually registering puzzles played at night. Sorry about this! - Fixed various puzzle generation scenarios that would generate conceptually unbeatable puzzles, especially with certain variations. - Fixed ability to place a word on top of another word entirely if that word contains that word (eg. placing meteorite over meteor). - Fixed characters suddenly running around a little too quick and glitching in place. - Fixed scroll window contents disappearing with a system message or when going in and out of the app. Hopefully for good this time. - Fixed the word count in Tangle Mode puzzles not taking into account multiple starting words. - Fixed the menu demo sometimes placing 2 words at the same time.

It can be comedic with the little pop-up news headlines you get when you open up the app, and just overall the game itself is very enjoyable. That said I have some things that I think would be good additions to the game. First off there’s the daily and weekly and monthly puzzles. I very much enjoy those gamemodes, and I like strategizing to try and find the best way to put the words down. However, it can get a little repetitive doing the same puzzles over and over trying to get a better score. I think it would be awesome if we could play that gamemode, but in a way where we can generate a new puzzle every time. I think this would open the door to a lot of fun puzzles, because not only could we play a different puzzle in that gamemode multiple times a day, but we could also apply themes and variations to it, or at least that’s the idea. I’m not a programmer or a game designer or anything like that so I have no idea how hard it would be to allow compatibility with themes and variations, but honestly that part isn’t really what I want, it would just be a plus. Secondly I think it would be cool if we could play multiple variations at once. There’s not really more to that, I just think it would be neat. Lastly, I’m not the biggest fan of the fact that missions are assigned at specific times. I would love to be assigned missions one set after another, so that whenever I complete a set I still have specific goals to achieve. That’s all I’ve got. That said, this game is amazing without those additions, so it’s not like they’re really all that important, I just though I would stop by and share my thoughts.

Normally I find them repetitive or too inflexible to enjoy all the time. All of the different modes, themes and variations make it easy to adapt to whatever mood I’m feeling and I really like the challenges to unlock new things. This would be a five star review, if I hadn’t had a glitch in my game the past two or so days. Like I said I really like the challenges, but for the past few days one has been stuck as uncleared despite the fact I’ve met the requirements a few times over- it’s the “Play Puzzles At Night” challenge, and it won’t show any progress on it despite the fact I’ve played well over 3 games in between the hours of 10 and 6 since it showed up in game. I’ve played several different modes several different points during the night (just in case it was a time zone issue and playing it at 10 was messing it up somehow). I don’t know if this is an issue for anyone else but I thought it was worth writing a review about in case other people experience stuck challenges.

I'll start scrolling down the list and it'll pop back up to the top so it's impossible to pick any of the other longer words aside from the 4-5 i can see at the top of the list. It makes it pretty much impossible to finish the game after a certain point because I can't choose any other words because I can't get to them. I've tried basically everything but uninstalling and reinstalling the app because since it's not syncing, i'll lose all my progress. I would love it if this could be fixed because with this bug I can't finish any of the challenges.

(Hence my scathing last review…..sorry🥺) I was loving this game, and again have fallen back in love with it now….sigh….again sorry…. Lesson learned today……don’t review an app when you are feeling frustrated and set in your ways. Play a bit and see what happens, it might not be so bad. I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves words and the independence of placing said words where you want. Just be sure you check to be sure it is the best place for said word. Game takes some practice and finding the secret to success and getting more words will make sense and yiu will go…..duh…. I hate crossword puzzles but I love these fillin word games. I have played another very popular word game for 12 plus years and still do. However I LOVE at his game better than that other VERY popular game. Great job developers. Your awesome.

The daily puzzle is pretty involved and you can spend quite a bit of time on it. I do dislike that challenges to unlock additional modes/variations are gated by real time. As of right now I don’t find the current modes ( Tangle, precision) super enjoyable, at least without progression + challenges (since the challenges encourage specific actions in play). I like them in concept but they seem too easy. I’m hoping that the difficulty variations would make them more interesting, but I’m unable to unlock them since I have to wait real time for more challenges. I saw a dev response on another review that they are looking in to overhauling the challenge system. I really hope so! Also I haven’t unlocked the advanced difficulty varieties yet, so I can’t speak coincidently but I’m wondering if it might make more sense to have difficultly separate from variations. Or maybe allow more than one variation at a time. It would certainly allow for a greater variety in the puzzles.

This game is addictive and a lot of fun but infuriating all the same. Please fix the following issues. 1. It would be nice if we could lock a word in vertical or horizontal position. A simple button that sets the word so it is easier to place in the puzzle. The words constantly flip back and forth and words are extremely hard to place. 2. Also if there is a challenge where we have to do certain puzzle types within a time limit if 2 minutes. But there isn’t a time clock on the screen so we can see our progress. I feel like I’ve accomplished this goal and continue to be denied. I’d like to see a time clock. 3. More words please. It’s getting redundant. I’m quitting the game in hopes that the bugs are fixed. Considering this is a subscription game it really should work better than this.

Except with Sling Words you can build other words using letters from available words. For instance, you have a word, Beginning and you have another word, Suspects. You can place the beginning of the word Suspects, or the end and build another word Beginnings. With this game, it doesn’t recognize that. So it loses stars for not being as good as Sling Words, which I feel is far superior and a little more fun. I like this one, but the developer really needs to fix the game and allow you to build on other words like practically ANY other Scrabble/Crossword like word game. This one is a good start, but once they add that and some other elements then this will be a great game.

I’ve finished all of the challenges, a notice states this, and basically suggests to replay different themes and variations. I no longer do this. I play for the weekly and monthly competition, and sometimes the daily. The major thing I’ve noticed that needs to be addressed is more words added to the “wurdweb dictionary”, for lack of a better term. Each time I play a challenge wether it daily, weekly, or monthly, the exact same words are offered in the selection, and I swear if I see the word “biopic” (and others) one more time, I’m going to puke. Please, there are so many words in the dictionary. Let us use them.

My one issue with the game is the challenges that you get daily. At most I’ve had 5 challenges. At the least I’ve had 3 and challenges are the only way to unlock new game modes and such. I think there should be more challenges to play on a daily basis or something that will make me want to ply after I’ve completed my daily challenges. Because I’m finding that after I do my daily challenges there’s nothing pushing me to play. Just a small suggestion. Love everything else about the game though

I downloaded this one out of curiosity and it hit my sweet spot right away. I started playing last night and when I looked up two hours had passed. I just kept going through one challenge after another until I finally forced myself to go to bed. What I like about this game is it’s got just the right mix of being challenging without being impossible. The different modes of play offer seemingly endless variety. If I hit a wall in one mode, I could simple play in another one or create my own game. It’s an addictive game, in the best sense of the word.
