Wordscapes Search Reviews

by Diva2145

I often take screenshots of the score throughout the weekend to ensure I’m on top of where I am. I know the scoring updates are wacky. I know you have to keep plying to see the accurate score. So, I always keep playing and always take screenshots I took a scene shot of the score and it said the person behind me hold 16,000 points. I check the score exactly 12 minutes later (screenshots are timestamped) and ALL OF A SUDDEN the person behind me has 17,600 points. Which is BULL! I hate cheaters. Cheaters never wins developers. Remember that!!I used to play all the time. Where are the games that offer real prizes like, fans, light bulbs, or coins?.. so now you play ALL week and all you get is duplicate ugly dinosaur stickers, or ugly cat statues? Why would any game developer keep “updating” a game to actually be worse than previous version is beyond me. Still not divers, still populating words that are Not in dictionary. Developer seriously needs to talk to users and fix issues! At this point you pretty much get nothing for playing up during the week. Zippo. So, I now I play from time to time. Representation matters. Diversity matters. Aesthetics matter. Logic matters. This game lacks all of it… They could do so much better.

Long read but I literally stopped mid-game to write this 🫠 I’m annoyed 🙃 CONS: There are ads after EVERY SINGLE PUZZLE and don’t put your phone down for more than 2 minutes because you’ll have to watch ANOTHER ad in the middle of your current word search. Yes, you remove ads by spending 6 bucks but you get none of the extras that are offered in their other bundle buys for the same amount! And who wants to spend $6 when other games offer to remove ads for much less. Trust me, I don’t mind spending money on games that I like. Searching for bonus words don’t include 2-letter words or some simple words that are clearly in the dictionary. Ok, the challenges that get you coins and move up the leaderboard… 1st place is 1K coins but 2nd-4th is all the same amount, 750…no matter the difference in scores. I scored 2K over 3rd place and that’s crazy. Lastly, I’ve found words during a mini game to collect pics to use as your in-game profile pic but the game will definitely say you missed it when you haven’t. It’s not a big deal but it will get you slightly irritated. PROS: It’s addictive and passes the time when you’re bored or have downtime. I’m a linguist so I enjoy word games…if you’re one in the same you’ll like it. The different colors once you’ve found words is cool visually. There’s no time clock so take all the time you need, no feeling of being rushed while relaxing.

When I first downloaded this game it was a lot of fun but then I discovered that I could find all of the words in no time at all. That’s because all of the words become obvious after just finding a few of them. It would be great if they crossed each other in ways that didn’t stare you in the face.
The biggest complaint I have is that it freezes up on you with some ads you aren’t able to just X out and when you are finally able to get back to the game it’s an entirely different game all together.
It also freezes up when you are in the middle of a puzzle and you practically have to slam your finger on the screen several times to get it going again and then if that fails remove it and start all over and sometimes not the puzzle you were working on.
Maybe it’s different on a computer but on a smart phone it’s really not worth downloading.
I’ll still play it but that’s because I want to see what happens when I complete all the levels. In one week I have almost completed all of them so we’ll see what happens then!

When I first downloaded it WordscapesSearch worked great. I’ll be honest, it is one of those apps that play ads constantly, but they were played in between levels and weren’t suffocating so I didn’t mind it until the ads began glitching out. Eventually I wouldn’t be able to exit out of the ad pop up even when the ad was done playing. No matter how many times I pressed the “X” button nothing happened and every time the only option to fix it was to swipe out of WordscapesSearch , close it completely and reopen.

Saying that, it was annoying but I really didn’t mind exiting WordscapesSearch every ad pop up in order to continue to play. (Because I really did enjoy it!) The glitches advanced though, and now after every time I find a word WordscapesSearch freezes up. An ad wouldn’t even come up, it was genuinely WordscapesSearch just freezing after every word being found. At that point the glitches became excessive, and my annoyance levels exceeded my enjoyment.

How fair this game is when the weekend contest is going on. I will complete 3-4 puzzles and no points go towards my contest points. All of my puzzles are “very hard”. I can be 800 points ahead of someone and they quickly catch-up to me because of this and I complete my puzzles fairly quickly despite the difficulty of the level. It truly makes me wonder if everyone has the same level of difficulty and if they are getting points on each puzzle because I’m not. I’m also going through ads after each puzzle which I don’t get during the week when there isn’t a competition. It’s just odd how others seem to gain points a lot faster and move up when I solve pretty quickly yet I don’t get points each time, sometimes very little, all puzzles are level “very hard” and I get ads after each puzzle having to wait to X out of them. It’s frustrating and I’m about done. Also, during the weekly collection games. Once you have collected all the items in a collection, why is it still open? Why would you not give me the ones I still need to get? Instead I spend 3 days of doing puzzles that aren’t getting me anything more than if I were playing regularly. There are major improvements that need to be done.

by Sonyasmiles

The word search game is good in general and it really does sharpen my mind but the word search game is starting to become pretty boring👎🏻 Why is that the case? Answer: the word search categories are ALWAYS the same things like: a walk in the park or synonyms for pretty and so on. They don’t bother to change it up by adding NEW categories that haven’t ever been added or thought of before say like: types of cats or medical procedures (or types of medical procedures) or maybe perhaps car models; to name a few ideas. And unless the company considers adding whole new categories, the word search game will continue to be boring or less interesting.
**Update: The highlighters events are nice and show different highlighters that are very beautiful and appealing but the fact is that you have to earn 900 ink bottles total just to win a beautiful highlighter?! 900 ink bottles total is NOT worth it and you only get 2 ink bottles for each word search game you play!!👎🏻👎🏻😠😡 That’s way too slow for my taste and not everyone has the time of day to keep playing the games. There needs to be an adjustment to the number of ink bottles. I see 200 or even 270 ink bottles total as reasonable and make each game DURING the highlighters events where players collect MORE ink bottles. Say like 5 or 6 ink bottles for each word search game played/earned.**

If you like word searches you’ll like this game I like them when I unwind. Sure there’s adds every now and then but I mean it’s a free game what do you expect? You just want someone to make something and not try and profit off it? it hasn’t really bombarded me with adds or nothing like that like one every 2-3 levels or so. It kinda helps me calm down. And it can be pretty difficult I’m only on level 20 at the moment so idk how much more difficult it can get but all and all I’d give it 3 stars purely because of the fact that it legit isn’t anything special other than a word search I see people getting mad over adds or it being to hard but again it’s a FREE WORD SEARCH game can’t really get mad at it for being to hard or for having adds and if you do get mad at this stuff just DONT download it. Also I see the devs give responses and are trying to make WordscapesSearch better so at least theres that.

by Anna . P. Shee

One reason I play this game is because it actually helps your brain and yeah also how I love this game is that it’s calming music is really calm but thank you. It’s really a great day. You should really doll it cause it’s so great like really great and also it’s pretty easy even though I am a new player. I am in love with it. I am I don’t know what level I’m at. I think I’m at 19 or something but yeah but I think it’s a great game. OK some people don’t like it, but I like it but yeah, I wish you dark mode too, but like I wouldn’t really use dark mode, but like I like light mode but like if it’s like if it’s dark mode, it’s kind of kind of a little bit annoying, but it’s OK some people, like it and I understand cause like the maker of the skin doesn’t know if you want light mode or dark mode and also it’s pretty good. The reason that you need lots of coins for like the like the like 100 coins for a clue, just one clue for 100 coins I can be like 50 coins for, two clues😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 also it says 17+ but I’m literally only nine and I can play it. It’s really matter it can be like 5+ or like it can be any age cause it just matters about your studying and stuff but yeah you don’t get why it says 17+.

by Faithius

This game is awesome! I’ve been playing for months now. It helps with my anxiety and also helps me wind down for bed at night. The only things that bother me are 1. The fact that there is not a dark mode. I play a lot at night and it hurts to look at sometimes because of the bright screen (and yes my screen brightness is down all the way). 2. It feels like there are a looooot of repetitive words and themes. I would love to see some fresh things. I’m at level 3123 but yeah it feels like I see a lot of the same words. 3. The coins. I wish there was more that we could do with the coins. I don’t use the power ups so I’ve just been racking up coins. Maybe we could use them to purchase frames from precious events, avatars, or highlighters. Just a thought.

I love that the game has the different events. Butterfly, Atlantis, etc. I’m hoping that some of the other events come back as well ( Because it seems like there are some dormant events. I could be wrong). I also love love love that I can play for highlighters. It makes me even more excited to play the game. You all make them so pretty! Another feature that I enjoy is the fact that you can see the definition for extra words you find in the word search. It’s nice to learn new words. Thanks for this great game! This is the only word search that is really fun to play in my opinion. Also if you play as much as I do, get the no ads option. It’s worth it, I promise!

I'm not sure about a word search game specifically, but a good rating for any game would be based on how enjoyable and engaging it is. If you find a word search game that you really enjoy, you might rate it highly because it's fun and challenging. You might also appreciate the game's graphics, sound effects, or other features that make it more enjoyable to play. Additionally, a good rating might be based on how well the game is designed and how easy it is to navigate. For example, if the game has clear instructions and is easy to understand, you might be more likely to rate it highly. Finally, a good rating might be based on how responsive the game's developers are to user feedback. If the developers are quick to address bugs and make improvements based on user feedback, you might be more likely to give the game a good rating.

The ads are frustrating. I have no idea if there’s a timer and if you get more points the faster you solve? I feel like I’m exceptionally fast at solving these and would hope that I could more quickly get to number one because of it. My average solve time is like 1minute. The “Very Hard,” needs to be harder…more lines. But people who are really good should go to the top faster. For all I know, Weston is a 6th grader whose parents give him this game, and all he does 24/7 is play it. The best should be at the top regardless of how many levels they complete. So give more points to the people who finish fastest, if that’s not already how it’s set up. You should also let me pick the difficulty of the word search so that one can get more points. Don’t give number one to the person who doesn’t do anything else other than play this game.

If you enjoy word searches, and have been dissatisfied with other mobile versions that have been available, then I can tell you in my opinion your search if finally over!

This is a great mobile version, that at times can be challenging, however not so challenging you feel like your playing “Jeopardy” with a migraine. LOL. 🤣

This game features both a daily challenge and the option of level play. Puzzles seem to increase in difficulty as you progress through both and there are random puzzles where you are to not only find the words. but also need to figure out what the missing word is that is related to the puzzle.

And Lastly, in my opinion, the best feature by far is the low level of ads that “no-purchase” players have to deal with! 🥇🎉#winningfeature

As of this review, I have not finished all the available levels, but I’m hoping that I never do. If I could recommend anything to make this game better, I’d say maybe implement some or all 😍of these requests - 1) ability to play against friends or multiplayer challenges, 2) seasonal/holiday themes (perhaps offered for completing a set level or for limited time purchase), 3) better directions and game key definitions (for younger players or those who have never played)

My son saw this game and asked me to download it on his iPad and I thought, hmm well it’s a word game so why not? I simply downloaded it for educational purposes.. but let me tell you, the game also downloaded onto my phone so I started playing. It’s been only fifteen minutes, and I’m already on level 18! It’s a great time passer and it’ll cause you to really look and think. I hardly ever leave reviews for games I normally just go about my day but I just had too. The only thing I’m not fond of is the ads. They aren’t excessive but it does get a little annoying. They do have a feature where you can pay $3.99 for ad/free play. Other than that it’s a great game, the music is very relaxing and it helps you think more but also enjoy the game. Super engaging and beautiful. I liked the message they have at the beginning of the game where they said they’ve put a lot of love into the game. That was adorable. We can tell! Well, I can tell! Great game, though how many levels are there? Cause I’d hate to finish and have to find another game haha.

As I am moving into middle age I am always in search of games and apps that can help me keep my brain working to head off dementia and Alzheimer’s. WordscapesSearch is brilliant for that! The puzzles randomly vary from easy to more challenging and the added game mechanic of locating words in the puzzle that are not in the word list makes your brain work that little bit harder but it never feels like work, only fun! I try to dedicate at least an hour total each day to this game and I can’t believe how quickly I’m moving through the puzzles. This game is a blast and if you’re someone who has older parents who are willing to embrace some technology get them a tablet (it may be too hard to see on a phone, even though I play it on my phone and my eyesight is shot) and download this game. It takes no time at all to learn how to play the game and I guarantee they will love this game!

by Jennifer Olsen

I love this game! However, there are some suggestions that I would like to make. Could this game have some more topics? New topics that I would like to see are other holidays such as St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Hanukkah,Passover, Patriots day, Halloween, and other holidays or celebrations.
Other topics include Countries, continents, cities, landmarks, cultures, International food and drinks, travel, book topics, book titles, movie titles from different genres, top 100s in different topics, languages, famous colleges and universities, names of games, famous people in History, science, mathematics, and other subjects, types of housing or housing styles, interior and exterior designs, outdoor adventures, international clothing, international jobs, animals from different countries, and other topics.
I am starting to get a little tired of the same topics, but otherwise I am enjoying the game a lot. I cannot stop playing it and the game is fun and relaxing for me.

by Baking4evs

This game definitely exceeded and continues to exceed my expectations. I thought that when I downloaded this it would not be the game that was advertised, (which is becoming a bit of a problem with other games) I’d get bored and there’d be an excessive amount of ads to watch. Although after I started playing, I found that this game was so satisfying and a really good way to calm yourself because of the relaxing music. And it never even gets too easy because in each chapter the levels go from extremely easy to more difficult as the letters get smaller and the number of target words increase. Also there is one twenty-second ads, (most of which you can skip after like 5 seconds) per every four to five levels. Also when the challenges happen it makes the game more interesting and it gives you something more than satisfaction to play for. I have absolutely no problems with this game. To the developers: Bravo!

by Mmememmendjdjwwkakans

Great addictive game three problems though: First off unlike Wordscapes the daily’s puzzle is easy an is a breeze to get through and would prefer if it were a bit harder so it is more intriguing, two it is a little difficult to highlight the words on phone on very hard levels so if there were some type of ability to make the puzzle larger or full screen then that would make it a lot easier to use, and finally it is very predictable on where the words cross, for example: most vertical and horizontal lines will not cross and you mostly cant use letters in already highlighted words and diagonal lines will cross cut lines that are parallel most have spaces in beside each word. Using all these factors you can typically guess where the words are half way through the level.

I got this game yesterday and I am a busy person from time to time so I can’t play all the time. I’m only on level 4 and this game is calming. I’ve always loved cross words and I play this at restaurants when I’m waiting. It’s so fun! I recommend this game to you. I don’t have much games on my phone but I try to have a bunch of brain teasers to work my mind. This game is so nice and calm and there are no ads! I haven’t seen any ads at all! When I saw the ad for this game, I wanted to give it a try. Turns out, this game is one of my favorites on my phone. If you want more games from people fun, just look up their name in WordscapesSearch Store! I don’t have anything bad to say about this game and I don’t have anything else to say but to download this game of you like to challenge your mind and if you like word searches!

by Litt1eH0bbit

Exceeded my expectations. Hardly any adds, beautiful user interface, loads of levels. Love it! I highly recommend!
I appreciate how relaxed the levels. Yet even without the pressure of a timer or constant comparison to leaderboards, I’m inspired to be competitive and eager. My favorite detail is that the game keeps track of the extra words you find in the puzzle, and finding multiple is rewarded. It adds a whole-nother level of challenge and competition, even though it’s entirely optional. I’m motivated to see how many words I can find outside the list provided. I went in search of a good word search app and downloaded quite a few, like, 5~7 I think. I wasn’t happy with the others I tired. I finally downloaded this one, not expecting much. But I haven’t downloaded another word search app since. And I doubt I will.

This game is the best word search game I’ve ever seen. It gives you coins for finding bonus words, and it has easy and hard levels. I like how there’s almost always some sort of special event going on, whether it’s Atlantis or a tournament. My only suggestion is to add more special events. I don’t play them anymore, just because they got boring after a while. It would also be fun to have a feature to play with custom words, or to make your own word search. On wordscapes, you can friend people. I don’t know if they are going to add that, seeing that this is a side-game, but it would be fun to share levels with my friends.

I also noticed that, if I’m in the middle of a level and have to go do something so I shut off my device, then come back, sometimes it says I did not get words I had already gotten. It’s not too large of a problem, probably a minor glitch. I hope you find this review helpful.

I’ve been looking for games that I can relax with and I’m a natural with word puzzles, so this seemed right up my alley. The problem is, a lot of these games are geared toward bright colors, loud music, etc. I play them for a while and end up erasing them from my phone. I LOVE, love, love this! The words are easy enough to find that my brain immediately goes into “chill out” mode. The colors and music are just spot on. I usually end up turning off the music in all my games because it doesn’t do anything but annoy me. but in this case, it completely enhances the stress free atmosphere. No stress, no time limits, just a relaxing word find. If you want a challenge or something fast paced, this maybe isn’t the best game for you, but if you want the equivalent of a mental massage, download this game today. I even spent a little to get rid of the ads. It was a small price to pay (literally and figuratively) to have what I think of as “yoga for the brain” at my fingertips. Yes, you can actually enjoy a puzzle game without stressing out one bit. A big thank you to the creators. 💜

WordscapesSearch helps kids learn and it helps them develop their searching skills it is pretty hard to find them I’m eight now it’s in 37 and I’ve played it since I’m seven I’m on level 18 now it’s been an awesome experience and I think five stars is good it’s a really good app I love how is the word search because WordSearch is a fun for me I’m a just makes me so happy to try them because I like to find stuff really hard stuff I can wear searches if it’s too hard I might ask my friends but I really like word searches and I like fighting stuff I can hide and seek I like that that’s what I like to do because word searches are like finding someone in hide and seek for me or like you’re making your own research would be fine but I don’t know how to mix them up I’ll probably print one out but I didn’t yet and hats the pool this Saturday on June 4 my friend is coming over to our pool and we’re playing water hide and seek and I’m going to be it and I haven’t told her but we’re going to have a blast I don’t remember if hide and seek was on our list for crazy for party but we’re gonna do it anyway because everybody probably loves water hide and seek bye.

One of the reasons I play games is to just relax and take my mind off of whatever is going on around me. For that reason relaxation is important and I like the quiet background music that I have a choice to listen to in Wordscapes Search. Another thing I like about it is that we can get extra points by finding words that are not part of the puzzle. I like that I can switch the whole puzzle around in a 1/4 turn, especially that it doesn’t cost me points or “game money.“ The ads are not obnoxious…Yet. And I like that I can earn extra points by watching a video or two. And once in a while they have sales on buying extra things such as blowing some of the letters off the board, which usually cost 100 points. But you can buy like 5x for $1.99 once in a while. That makes it more likely that I will spend a small amount of money. But I am not wealthy and I have only a part-time job so I’m not going spend a lot of money. Some games, not this one, I have quit and deleted simply because they wanted me to spend more money to advance in the game. After that it doesn’t become a game, it’s a gamble and the house always wins. This is not that kind of game. This is a friendly game that meets my needs, let me relax, and I love, LOVE the pictures!

I’ve been doing word search puzzles ever since I was 8 years old. I’m so good that I can often find a word in half a second! I’ve downloaded numerous word search apps in the past but they either stopped being supported by WordscapesSearch Store, lost my interest to another app, or required a subscription in order to play. When I got into Wordscapes a few years ago and saw their different variations, I was hoping they would do a word search one and was extremely happy when they did. I love how you get bonus points for finding an extra word just like you do in the other Wordscapes apps. This game also has themed tournaments where you do “shorter puzzles” to unlock special avatar pictures and try to complete the sets. This game is so dangerously addictive and you won’t need to spend a single penny because it’s super easy to get boosters, but if you’re really good at word search puzzles, you won’t need to use any of them

by 00_jackie

It’s very relaxing. I leave the soothing music on sometimes on this one. The game never gets glitches, it’s smooth, easy to use. It doesn’t bombard you with pop up’s asking you to buy something. You get rewards often. There are always things you can participate in to gain trophy’s, frames, etc but none of it is annoying or always required. The game is clean, not too busy or distracting. The developers did a great job. Issues I’ve had: the extra words you can get brilliance points for finding, aren’t words at all such as: coho, mel, mon, dev, ret, rep, lev, dis, tao. Yet, real words like quart and ramp aren’t recognized as words. Some words have different spellings like omelet and omelette. Some words are misspelled like sherbet spelled as sherbert. Minor, but annoying. Some of the harder puzzles have such small letters it strains your eyes, fingers aren’t small enough, so is really hard to complete them if using mobile (which is my only option).

by DarkTacodog

When I first opened the game I was greeted with an amazingly made intro and smooth graphics that keep up with the quality of the new phones and the quality and time it took for this game to look this game mustve taken uears because it really blew my mind because there is also no pop up add like other games and if there is an ad it would be at the bottom where it wont bother you but omg this game really gets my brain flowing and also if you don’t understand a word that it tells you to find them you can look into the built in dictionary for each word and it really excites me seeing these great apps making money and helping people to pass time and to learn and get mentally stronger at the same time, I really appreciate this game ❤️❤️

I once had another game similar to this that I adored on my iPad but when I upgraded my iPad the old game for some reason never fit correctly on my screen anymore even after redownloading… I was so incredibly sad.. until I found this one! This word search game is perfect. Unfortunately there are ads BUT the amount is little and the few there are are quick or at least quickly and easily skippable. Other than the ad issue, this game is amazing. It has such calming undertones in the background music. Satisfying color palette to the eyes. Easy enough but not underwhelming because if it. Satisfying in-game sounds when you tap things, find a word, etc. this game is just perfect. It filled the void in my heart the old game I loved left.
