Word Garden : Crosswords Reviews

This has been 1 of my favorite games for years! However, in the past 2-3 weeks, at the end of a game I will get a black screen. I have closed game and gone back to it later and now there is a white screen! I updated game a few days ago, hoping this would fix problem. Unfortunately, the black screen/white screen is still happening! Please help!!

The above is still a concern, but at moment there are other issues more pressing. What was the reasoning behind changing collecting points to unlock pics for added help? Collecting leaves?? And how do they help? So far, I have "unlocked" pics, but what good does it do if they are unuseable? Please return to collecting coins, because at the moment there is no way to get bonus points to help out, other than watching ads to get 15 points.

If you’re a pro like in other words puzzle games (ie Wordington), then this game does seem much easier. Though the arrangement of letters are often scrambled in such a way that doesn’t make recognizing a word immediately possible but you do eventually get it. So the game isn’t going to be as easy for some people, like myself, even though I have a college degree. It’s challenging enough to enjoy with little tension but it’s simple enough that’s it’s mostly relaxing. Some people may find that a comforting thing.

I downloaded this game after seeing an advertisement and did not get anything like what the advertisement showed…so I played this silly little four letter word game, filled my piggy bank, finished 2 chapters and kept hoping that the game would get more difficult or that the advertised game would emerge. I completed ALL OF THIS in less than 1&1/2 hours time. This game is no different than all the other crossword puzzle, word creating games except that it is far more limited . I came up with 8 or more additional words each puzzle.
Sorry. I really hoped for a more advanced word search game with a faster pace.

I’ve been playing this game for a couple of years now, and found it addictive enough that I paid for the no-ads version a long time ago. I was in fact nearing the end of the provided games when I made the fatal error of updating WordGarden . BIG MISTAKE. Although it is much easier to earn big points per game, the puzzles are so short/ lame/uninteresting/easy that I feel insulted. Many games — even at what are supposedly the higher levels (World 42 and up) — are shockingly easy and therefore completely boring; they also use words that are barely words at all (skiddy, didy, etc). Thank the gods I have another iPad where the old version of the game still lives; that’s the one I still like to play.

Rather than continually paying anywhere from $.99 to $1.99 to 599 to get extra points to keep the game going although I’ve done that I rely on the 15 point reward for taking a minute or two to watch an ad , suddenly that button went missing just as my score got down quite low to 93. I’ve been playing this game intensely for quite a while I find it relaxing and fun but now I feel it’s rigged tic force the player to keep paying for points

So I’m guessing the company that owns this game is no longer content to collect fees from all the advertisers I’m exposed to and now they are going to try to extract more money from the consumer -me- I don’t like this and if the reward button doesn’t return soon you’ll be losing a faithful advertising audience

Not a lot of challenge here so far. I’m on world 8 of 22 and keep waiting for the difficulty to ratchet up. It hasn’t yet. It’s not so much a game as a simple distraction. There’s really no point other than earning coins. What in the world can you do with these coins? Buy hints. Only problem is, the game is so easy you hardly ever need to use hints. I’ve got 7,000+ coins that are actually quite worthless.
I doubt I’ll have the patience to get all the way through level 22. I can’t believe I haven’t completely tired of it by now, to be honest. I hope it gets tougher soon.

I can sit through the ads that randomly come up between levels. I’m patient and don’t want to spend money. But now some of the ads will PLAY THEIR SOUNDS. Even though I have my phone on silent, and all sound and music turned off for WordGarden . Not all ads do this either. But I’m going to delete WordGarden now because I play it while making sure the baby is asleep or between work meetings and the random sound is disruptive. I feel like I’m trying to be forced into purchasing ad-free. Instead, I’ll just play another app. (And for the record I’ve been playing this for weeks; the sound issue has only started in the past few days.)

The numerous ads are irritating and obnoxious ... far too many ads. When the game is won, the flowers should bloom sequentially, not all at once. And the flower colors should include some brilliant primary colors, not just faded, boring pastel shades. And get rid of the current pattern in which the flowers are placed ... entirely too similar to the Nazi swastika. I suggest placing the flowers in a swirl or spiral pattern ... curves, not sharp angles.
The difficulty level needs to gradually increase as the player progresses through the game levels. Overall, this game has good potential to become much more enjoyable and, perhaps, to even become a classic.

I was on level 1372 on my Word game when it reverted to level 1. I was crushed because Word is one of my favorite games and I play it everyday. I contacted Support (Isabelle) who worked diligently with me suggesting several things to try. Isabelle also made changes on their end and finally after 4 days my game was once again on level 1372. Support never gave up and I never felt abandoned. Highly recommend Iscool.

Great game. The ads don’t bother me none for that’s what you get with a free game. If you love the game so much and ads bother you, you can always pay for No Ads. So far I’m enjoying this game. Yes, it has words that I never heard of. I just hope in the following levels it doesn’t get to frig’n hard that it would give me anxiety (lol) instead of being relaxing. It’s hard to find a game that’s stays at the same pace just for enjoyment. So far so good.

I play games on both my iphone and iPad and dislike that I am on different levels when I play. I wish there was a sign in as there is on other games that would allow you to be at the same place regardless of which device you are playing on.

Also, there are times when I am unable to finish a round and need to put my device away (even close out of the game) and when I go to Tap on it to Bring it up again, it makes me start the whole round over.

I have this game on both my phone and iPad. I rarely use it in my phone, it is just there. They are not in sync. Yesterday, after hitting the 5000 found-words mark, not sure what exact level but I was pretty far into the game, it would not load. I paid to not have ads. It works on my phone but I am on a much lower level there, as I rarely play it there. I tried reinstalling it but I do not want to go back to square one—too easy.

Oh, my iPad is just fine, that is not the issue. So, because it suddenly does not work I give it two stars.

I am now in World 25 level A with 12,613 unique words found. I’ve put up with watching all those annoying ads to play the game which I really like. But lately the 15 point reward button disappears when I need to get enough coins to get a hint. I have only 26 coins and hints cost 40 coins. Do you call that playing fair. I wish I could take the 15 point button and go home.......isn’t that what you’re doing?...........Don’t think I’ll be putting up with this nonsense much longer. I can survive without finding unique words that I sometimes doubt are really words. The definitions are a little hard to believe.

This version is not near as fun. It takes forever to load, shuts down frequently, letters are harder to connect, and I liked the way the extra points were before...that you could see how many extra words you made for each game and then receive your score immediately. Plus, the game for the day is also different and is not really related to this game but can be played on a different app. I’m very disappointed.

Why not give people the option to pass onto another puzzle when you can’t find the answer? I am stuck on 1 word and absolutely cannot move on!!!!! It’s been 3 days and I am more than frustrated and might just move on to another app 😱 otherwise I like the challenge. I love scrabble and there is always an option to quit the game and move on to another one.... how about trying something like that? And the ads are absolutely horrendous! Not worth it

I do not like the new ‘word list’ daily puzzle and doing more puzzles. What is the goal? Am I supposed to pay coins to play additional puzzles for what? Am I expected to play until I earn a three-star game? How are the stars earned? A star per game? No, that’s not it. Is it a speed thing? How is this supposed to work???

I’d liked the linked words puzzle back. And how about some new picture sets? Or some other way to use the clovers?

Sent email to maker over a week ago. No response had this game for a year and a half loved playing it but after their update it wouldn’t open. Didn’t want to delete and re install because I was at level 67 and was afraid I’d loose my progress and my points. After not hearing anything from the developer I did the unthinkable and did just that because what the hell they aren’t responding what do I have to lose. Well everything apparently. Fun game as long as it works no response from them if it doesn’t. Don’t buy the game just suffer through the endless ads

The game itself is fun. Oh but... they soooo missed the mark in their advertising. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the ads EXCEPT you don’t have the option to mark them as irrelevant so you end up having to sit through pure trash. And I’ve come to hate the stupid fish game ad, and all its derivatives.

Developers, FIX how you structure your ads and you’ve got a jewel of a game.

Also, FIX how you give us the option to double our winning points and, yet, then tell us it’s not available. Either offer the option or take it out. But don’t offer it and then make it unavailable. That’s just schlocky.

Oh, and there is a bug you need to look at. Last night, you were SUBTRACTING points for double words. Is that part of the game now? If so, make an announcement to warn us. Otherwise, please fix the bug.

The game is good but my dad paid for no ads but there is still more ads and it’s really frustrating me that is what you need to fix and we’re I make words it always goes to the little circle thing we’re you get one right and it goes up to twenty and you get a prize but why can’t every one you go to the next one you get like 30 coins.

I mean it still good but issues please fix it

Really fun game but it has competition so y’all need need to step up your game.
First, your score doesn’t follow to other devices, BIG PROBLEM
Second, I found this game through a facebooks ad that showed two people (sisters) playing one another, there is no option to do so.... FALSE ADVERTISING!
And last certainty but not least the ads! After every round! Really?!?!?
The ad takes longer that the round, come on y’all. I like the game but I’m gonna have to delete, the ads are enough to completely ruin the fun and relaxation. Too many word search apps out there to deal with this.

This game could be fun and relaxing. Instead there are ads after each game. And not just one, sometimes 2 or 3!! Each advis a minimum of 30 seconds and many don’t ever come up with a close button!! It insists that you play the game then takes you to WordGarden Store to buy it. I’ve even had to force close WordGarden to get back to the game. But even when I do that, half the time it takes me back to the ad. I’m deleting WordGarden due to the irritating amount of apps and the fact that it won’t allow me to get back to my game. I understand that some developers use apps occasionally in between games but this one goes way too far.

I absolutely love this game and it has helped me immensely with cognitive skills. I started off slow and gradually got the hang of it and still learning but I am surprised and thrilled that in just two months my mind is much sharper and my memory has improved.

I highly recommend for all ages especially for seniors, I am 70 and this game is how I manage stress and anxiety❤️

I have been dealing with the support and billing dept for almost a month. I purchased 2000 coins and never received them. I keep getting the run around. I have sent them the receipts for purchases and never received my coins or a refund. I feel as though they stoled my money. How sad

This was one of my favorite games, and I played it all the time. Every time you guessed a word that wasn’t in the puzzle, you would get points towards coins that would go into your bank. You could use your coins whenever you couldn’t guess a word and needed a hint (you’d still have to watch a video, but they were free as long as you had coins in your bank). I had over 20,000 coins. They removed all my coins and now I have to purchase coins if I need them. I’m deleting WordGarden.

I really like the game and have told lots of people about it. My complaint is when it shows a 30 second ad (which I know you have to have them) and you push X to return to game, it shows the same 30 second ad twice!!! At this point I just move on to another game… Also at times my screen also goes black and I have to leave and restart game!

I love this game but am frustrated that it costs $5.99 to block ads. If this is a one time fee it wouldn’t be bad. As a monthly fee, I don’t play it daily or sometimes even weekly but only play when traveling or have some down time. I don’t play often but it is the only game play. I wish there was some other way to stop ads. Because I don’t play any other games I’m thinking I may have to find a new game of some sort that doesn’t have ads
