WordWhizzle Search Reviews

This game was great until the update. Before the update, free hints were available by watching a 30 second video and 96 coins (enough for one hint) would be added to the pot. After the updates, the free hint was changed. Now, a player must watch 2,3, or 4, 15 to 45 second videos, because each video now adds only 30-35 coins to your pot. Furthermore, the videos you may watch for a free hint are limited, i.e., if you need a hint you don’t always get a chance to watch a video to receive one.A red alert pops on the screen saying, “uh oh, unable to find a video, please try . . . I am upset because I was 1st on the Leader Board (3of us keep going back and forth from 1st to 3rd places). We are at level 1500 and it’s becoming more difficult and the site will not allow me to receive free hints. I am a disabled, 75 year old single parent, with 10&19 year old boys at home. I could really use the free hints.

Was loving WordWhizzleSearch until I got to a higher level and it won't let you go any further unless you get another app they're promoting. It's set up within the levels of the game. Level 35 or something, then what should be the next level to tap on is an ad to "get it" (the other app which takes you straight to WordWhizzleSearch Store), I tapped on it hoping it would go away allowing me to move on with this game, but it won't go away until you install WordWhizzleSearch they're trying to get you to download. So I'm now deleting WordWhizzleSearch. Shameful. The ads after nearly every level on WordWhizzleSearch were bad enough, but acceptable for a free app, however when they won't let a person move up levels if you don't get the other app, one I don't want, which they're trying to sell.......as I said......shameful. 😡Wasted my time trying to move up in levels with this one. Otherwise it's a great word game. Seriously though?! 👎🏼🙄☹️

I'm really sorry to have to rate WordWhizzleSearch so low. I love rewarding developers of free apps with glowing reviews. Unfortunately, this is the first time I've ever been inclined to rate an app so low. The game itself is a lot of fun and can keep you entertained. Sadly, I get so bombed with ads and nags to buy hints & coins that I spend more time trying to close the annoying pop ups than I do playing the game. This is supposed to be a free version but there's nothing free about it. You are nagged to buy tokens or watch ad videos in order to stop the madness and finally get the game to begin. Over the top and way too much hassle. I suppose that's point. Nag 'em till they pay? Sorry to say but this gal is deleting WordWhizzleSearch . I hope future versions will lighten up on the $Pop$Ups$. If so, I'd love to give it another chance. In all fairness, those who prefer to pay for ad removal will enjoy the game.

Update: 08July2018
I did eventually download WordBlob and completed it to continue with WordWhizzle, but my current issue involves your ads. I arrived to a meeting early and decided to pass the few minutes before it started by playing your game. I always put my phone on vibrate before attending meetings, but imagine my embarrassment when one of your ads began playing LOUDLY regardless of my phone setting. There wasn’t even the option to mute the ad like I’ve seen on other ads. I now only trust playing your game when I’m alone so as not to disturb anyone with your annoying ads. Disappointed 😔
========================

Do I really have to download and finish another game, just to continue with this one? Apparently the next level after level 36 is called WordBlob and it has to be downloaded before you can proceed to level 37 in WordWhizzle. Are you guys that desperate to get your other games downloaded that you have to hold the current game hostage? **Lame**😕

Although my initial rating was high for an fun and enjoyable game I have misgivings to add. I have repeatedly played short videos of advertisements to keep my cost low or $0 spent on games online or that I decide to download. With this game I am often told that I must watch the entire add. No problem accept I have repeatedly “Watched the entire advertisement and counted to 15 before pressing the “x” button to get my free points to use for hints, etc.
I’m down to only 3.8% of users who get that far in their word puzzles to solve in their game starting at 100%.
If others like myself have gotten this far only to delete this game app and quite, it has not been because the puzzles stumped them. If like myself, they wished to save money then it is because they too tired of watching the same advertisement ALL the way through only to be told they did not and had no way in settings to contact the games tech support staff at all, if they exist.
I used to think this was a relaxing Fun challenge to relax with like a crossword puzzle, but the letters are right in front of you. Fun perhaps and worth a try. If you don’t mind tech issues without help available then it is worth your time.

Wow! I enjoyed the game enough to purchase the ad free version (4.99 which also came with coins as that was the cheapest pack I could find) but imagine how ripped off I felt when I won a spin that got me 500 coins only to find that to claim all the coins I had to spend another $4.99 to buy a larger purse or I only got 200 of the coins plus a BUNCH of pop ups telling me to buy the larger purse or lose the other 300 coins. The coins aren’t the point of my review (or loss of them). And I know these games cost money to create. What really frosts my weenie is the fact that I already paid 5 bucks to buy your ad free version and yet I get hit up for MORE money if I want to get to keep things I win while playing the game. Seems a really crappy way to treat customers who already shelled out money to stop the bazillion ads that already popped up constantly.

I do think this game is fun, and I like that they use categories instead of just seeing how many words you can come up with. However, I found that some of the categories and words are repetitive, which makes it less exciting after a bit. Also, like others have said, the amount of ads is just ridiculous. I understand having some ads but when there is a 30 second ad after only doing 2 or 3 puzzles that take maybe a minute each, it loses its appeal quickly. Maybe that’s why I found it to become less exciting..the time I spent watching ads was probably equivalent to how long I was actually playing. I feel like they are really trying to push their ad-free version here by inundating you with constant ads and then asking you afterwards to pay for no ads. All in all it’s a good game, but I removed 1 star for each issue I had.

I enjoy WordWhizzleSearch. It is a simple stress reliever. I am only giving it a 3 because of a few things. 1) I always take at least a star off for apps that have meaningless gimmicks. In this case it is coins. Earning them. Getting gifts. They serve no purpose and thus are just a waste of time. 2) ads - I think developers deserve money and I would buy the ad free version, but the many reviews saying it is not truly ad free are discouraging and I am afraid I would be wasting money. The free version has ads too frequently and too long. 3) hints - this does not bother me, but I am amazed by the people who say they have to wait an hour because they need a hint. I never need or use hints. Since there are no time limits and no limit on attempts, I can systematically cover the board to find a missing word. Even a 3 letter word in a 9x9 board can be scanned in a few minutes.

There are a ton of things that can be done to improve this game, however there are quite a large number of things that I wouldn't change....
For example, a few things that I would change you could be allowed to put in your age or take a test so you don't have to go through the mundane, boring and/or overly easy levels; make someway adults are able to bypass the first 25 levels or so.
However, the reason I wouldn't change anything about the game is because my 6 & 9 year old children love the early levels they are right up their ally and they both love to play the game. Only improvement I would make for my children is more levels that are easier for them.
So that's why I gave it 3 stars because it has both good and bad things about the game... It's in the middle, I let my children play the lower levels and once it gets WAY too challenging for them, I take over and teach as well as enjoy the game myself.
So, in conclusion; there is room for improvement however, it's a nice game that not only allows me to teach my children but also allows my young children and I to compete without them getting disappointed, or overly upset over a loss.

...this is yet another app with annoying ads. I understand that developers deserve to make money on their apps/games, and often content doesn't actually generate revenue. But when annoying ads impede a player's enjoyment of an app/game, that's a problem. Obviously, some players opt to buy WordWhizzleSearch /game to continue their enjoyment of the content despite annoying ads but that marketing ploy doesn't work for everyone.
It's a shame, truly, because WordWhizzleSearch/game is actually a lot of fun. The format/concept is unique and helps players think creatively - which is always a good thing.
WordWhizzleSearch/game is definitely a good tool for fellow wordsmiths and those who enjoy word games will likely find this to be a fun distraction. Levels can be completed at your own pace; there's no countdown or stress-inducing clocks. ;)
In fact, the worst part of WordWhizzleSearch/game is the advertising.
So, if you don't mind annoying ads, or if you don't mind ultimately paying for WordWhizzleSearch/game in order to enjoy the content as long as you'd like (rather than piecemeal between what amounts to commercial breaks), then WordWhizzleSearch/game is worth a try, especially if you're a word-lover. :D

While the game is always r gaging, there is one great drawback—namely, that you cannot make up a missed day’s puzzle, as you can with other games, such as WordStacks. Last year I got to about 345 days of daily puzzles, then came down with the flu and missed a day. Had to start at day one again. Yesterday I had a bad fall at home and took out my left leg pretty thoroughly; spent the day in c-ray and icing. Missed yesterday’s puzzle. I was at day 230+. Now I’m back to day one. It’s frustrating, and there’s no call for the algorithm to deny a make-up. They can charge points for it.

Such frustration makes me not participate in play. The algorithm is like the nasty boss who docks you an hour’s pay arriving five minutes late. Does not make me want to make purchases. I shall carry on with puzzles and games that are more forgiving. This is supposed to be fun, guys, not punitive. Get a clue.

The game is a very entertaining game and I could play on it for hours, but I don’t because of these two reasons. The first is... the adds are very inappropriate, some even including sex and gunshot. I don’t know why they would rate it for 4+. The second is... I agree with everyone else when they say the finger that helps you with the words gets annoying. I don’t want something showing me the word I am looking for if I take just 2 seconds or more to look. Other than that and the in App purchases this is a very decent and controllable game, I would recommend it but I don’t think I would if I knew that person is the type of person who gets annoyed a lot at little things like the two things I just listed. I just hope that you guys read this before buying the game. :) :)

Well it's a good game but why pay money? My mom won't let me ever get any money so why do you have to pay all of this money!!!!! And the ads I understand you get hints by ads but it just takes forever like if you have 1 hint why do you have to wait? And if you ever need a hint it just keeps on LOADING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It just needs an update. So much ads why does there need to be so much ads!! Oh and each level to me is just to hard or two easy or even BOTH!!!!! The game needs an update very soon. Anyone agree? I mean the game is fine it's just all of what I said and more. I had bugs on this game and it actually deleted its self so I lost everything and yeah it's just hard. At least I got past a much higher level!!!! But I would not download this if you don't like bugs or anything I said. Ok love you guys!!!! 😘❤️😉

the constant interruptions by ads makes enjoying the game to its fullest, extremely frustrating. I get that ads are necessary to generate revenue and although there is an out by purchasing the no ad app but I feel I shouldn't have to. I take offense to anything that makes me feel obligated to do something, especially when it comes to spending money unnecessarily. I'm an avid lover of word games, and I find this one to be a nice relaxing distraction from day to day activities but I'm more inclined to switch to another game to actually distract me from this one. Having said that, I do like that there is no pressure with timed play.

Fun as a game, but the categories are very heavily reliant on the United States White majority cultural perspective.

For instance, bowling is in general an activity that seems to be predominantly participated by White Americans, and so the terms related to bowling may be less familiar to other English speaking citizen groups (non-white Americans) as well as people of other cultural backgrounds such as naturalized immigrants. The presumption of the game seems to be that players are either White American or should necessarily be familiar with White American culture.

That in itself is not bad, but the game’s description should probably reflect that so the players know what to expect. Some words become very difficult when they are very culturally specific, and having the expectation that the game is predominantly for United States majority culture would be helpful to set expectations. Thank you for a fun game.

In my opinion no game is perfect and that is why I gave this game only four stars. I have been playing this game for several years and as a weekly, sometimes even daily, player I have been satisfied with the game and it’s quality! There is hardly anything negative to say about this game and I find that it has created a fun game that my family and me both enjoy! I have played through all the updates and all the changes, but the game quality and the fun of the game have never decrease.
As I said before there really isn’t anything negative to say about this game, accept the fact that it does get extremely difficult. I am not at all saying that this game is impossible or it shouldn’t be difficult when you get to the harder levels, I am just stating that some of the levels need to be made just the slightest bit easier. Then again, this is just my opinion. Other than that this game is fun, addictive, and a great game for all ages. On top of that there aren’t tons of ads, like most games! I love the game and I will definitely continue to play!!!!!!!!!!👍🏻

Just started playing and think it is a lot of fun, however we will see how expensive it gets to play it, because so many games start out free or very little out of pocket and then get so expensive I have to quit playing.
Was enjoying your game a lot, it did not out me very much to play and I could play for hours. I know you were trying to improve your game and I like the new changes except for the flashes of good job, great, etc that flash when you get the right answer, I find this extremely distracting and would like you to rethink this. It breaks my concentration and I have to refocus after each answer, maybe too annoying to continue playing. Thank you for your time.

I’ve been searching for the perfect word search/puzzle game for the longest time and I feel like I finally found it. I’ve been playing this nonstop for around a week and have fallen in love with this game. The puzzles increase in difficulty and become bigger in themselves as you go on which I found to be the perfect balance of being challenging but still solvable to the normal person. Even though I dislike the ads, they do provide lots of opportunities to pay to remove them at a discount, that also comes with additional hints to use. Another feature I like about this game is there is no unnecessary filler play and the only way to spend the coins earned is on hints to solve the puzzles. Great game overall.

I always thought it a little underhanded to bribe players into giving a good review. Or maybe even illegal?
People want the truth when they read reviews, or at least I know I hope it's the truth when I read reviews. I've only played 5-6 easy levels so far, not nearly enough to give a proper review. Oh, and they promised me a free hint for giving this review. But in all honesty I can't give a good review of a poorly designed, run-of-the-mill game. Graphics are minimal and childish. And the game play is boring. I do NOT recommend this game. It wouldn't let me give less then one star...

For several months now I have thoroughly enjoyed playing Word Whizzle. As of today, I have encountered a subject that, to me, does not meet the standard to which I’ve become accustomed and which I have so enjoyed.
The subject, Characters on the Simpsons, hardly seems to compare with the general knowledge challenges I normally anticipate. I have never watched The Simpsons and have no plans to. Unless I can find a way to navigate around it, I will choose to abandon the game I have grown to love.
I encourage you to continue the tradition of wider interest puzzles that have proven so enjoyable.
