Words Story Reviews

You know how all the ads show they guy trying to be a girl, well. It doesn’t show that in the game all you do is type letters to get a word and it just shows you the same thing over, and over, and over, and over again! The game is really boring but fun! The background music is weird, it is kinda annoying! But the person just does the same thing! It doesn’t do what the add shows where you match the word to the picture and try to escape prison like that. NO! It just tells you to type letters to make a word! This game is just like word scapes and all the other games that tell you to match letters! But at first when I saw the ad I was like “I want to match things up with the picture and try to escape!” Then when I went into the game and started play I was like “ THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THE AD!!!!!” Even though the game is disappointing it is still educational. It tells you to spell words and they make it hard, which is good! But I am still disappointed in how the ad was and how when you play the game they are nothing like each other! I would give WordsStory 2 stars. I like the hello stars game better then this!! I am going to express my anger now! “ THIS GAME SHOULD NOT HAVE 4.8 STARS! IT SHOULD HAVE 2 STARS!!” I am so sorry about that. But I am just very mad and disappointed 😓😢😭😒😞☹️🙁😕😟😔😣😖😫😩🥺😢😭😤😠😡🤬🥵😥😓😰🤕🤒😿🙀😾👎🏽👎🏽
Well, that is what I think about the game.

I AM REALLY SAD THAT IT IS NOT LIKE THE AD SHOWS!!!

I’m sure most of you people are here are here because of the ads for this game that looked interesting where there are stickmen trying to escape little cutscenes and when you reach a situation you have to type in the tool you might need to continue along with various animations making it seem like a very interesting and funny game to play. HOWEVER the ads literally are NOTHING like the game the only thing that’s the same is the fact that your in a prison, spelling words, and the assets. I thought the game would be interesting so I downloaded it, I am now on day 250 Nothing has changed its just a spelling words and digging in a hole (that’s probably made of titanium metal) Endlessly (basically) the ads are misleading and the best part about the ads were the animations but the only animations you will get here is: the guy making progress on his stupid hole, Him dumping out rocks from a bag, getting a new item and some other crappy 3 dollar animations sure in you defense you might say the game is good and the ads are just a little misleading but the ads are what make the game BAD not to mention while playing the game you will encounter multiple ads and remember how the internet works kids:
Misleading Ads+game+advertisements in the game=money

So the point is that they need to either A: make their game like the ads, or B: Remove the old ads and add ads that actually are the GAME.

I did not see the ads for this game. That being said, this game is annoying. I played through 3....levels maybe? A good hour or so. I don’t really see the point in playing this. There are spelling errors all over the game, that has me wary that some of the words I’m trying to guess are even real words. I didn’t run into any misspellings I had to try and guess, but none of the words were very challenging. Disappointing for a game that had a lot of promise. You unlock items that give you bonuses that I don’t really understand, I got soap that increased my relaxation I think, but what does that actually do? I didn’t notice anything. I had an opportunity to increase its potency, but I didn’t see the point. The only upgrade that made sense to me that I totally clicked on the ads to watch was the spoon upgrade that increased the rate that I dug. Still, I played a good 20 minutes after that, and while my progress increased dramatically, I didn’t really see how it was helping me. I did like the fact that I got to choose if I wanted to watch ads, that’s why I give it the 3 star rating. The guys cartoon faces were the most annoying thing to me, but that might be a personal taste.

I downloaded this game today and never had so much fun I know everyone opinion is different but with my disability’s I have trouble focusing and learning certain things. For some reason I am focusing and actually giving myself a challenge trying to figure out the words even though you can have multiple words(if not right one they give you coins as long as it’s a word) if you can’t figure it out you get items to help out I haven’t used one yet plus if you make a word that isn’t anywhere where they are looking for they will start to subtract some letters to me this Game is challenging to me may not be to some people but at least I can give myself a challenge thank you.

i’m assuming most of you have downloaded this game because you saw ads for it everywhere and it looked fun! right away i was disappointed as soon as i searched it in WordsStory store. the word “persevere” in one of the pictures is spelled, “persever”. right away, i lowered my standards. i opened WordsStory and thought it was alright. i spelled a few words, and the guy dug a whole into a wall, then we would go outside to dump out the rocks. it’s a VERY BORING app!! that’s all he did. not to mention that no one who spoke english well reviewed WordsStory before it was published. half the stuff it says in WordsStory doesn’t make any sense. also, there is no music!! i like playing my games with background music or at least some sound effect but nope :( overall, WordsStory is poorly made, and does not deserve to have 4.8 stars. i have no idea how it has that many. don’t get WordsStory unless you enjoy spelling random words that have nothing to do with what you’re trying to accomplish in the game. for example, it’s not even like “he’s hungry, what should he eat?” it just gives you random letters and makes you spell words with no hints or clues whatsoever about what you’re trying to spell. i’ve never been more disappointed in an app before. thank you for your time, and i do not recommend “wordstory”.

I really enjoy word games so I thought I’d give this a try. I like the story and the objects the character can use that gets added throughout the game via level solutions. I feel they could add a lot more to the story though. Especially the cut scene animations. They tend to repeat too much, so it feels like there isn’t much progress happening. My biggest problem though is with the glitches. The daily challenge hasn’t been working correctly. The first problem was it wanted the word “Monaco” (I even used coins to make sure that was the word) and I kept telling me it wasn’t a legal word. Today’s daily challenge isn’t letting me select letters to put in the empty boxes. If you want people to spend money on a game like this you got to address these issues quickly. And it wouldn’t hurt to expand the story and add more diverse cut scenes to show the character advancing. After all, it is what separates this word game from many others. I would give this a higher rating if it wasn’t for the glitches in the daily challenges.

At first I saw the ad and thought it was going to be fun because it showed that the guy was dressing up like a girl and all that other funny stuff so he could escape. But once I got WordsStory and started playing I realized he was just doing the same thing over again. Yeah I get it's also supposed to be educational but the words are way to easy and I'm pretty sure that some of the words are misspelled. I always see the reviews first and saw that a lot of them were very negative but I saw that it had a 4.8 so I still got WordsStory not even thinking about the negative reviews I saw. But now I think I should have considered the negative reviews because I wasted about an hour on this game and it wasn't even fun like the ads. I'm very disappointed because I expected this game to be fun and educational but it's not. It's really boring and not very challenging. The words in WordsStory are first grade words and I'm in the seventh grade. There should at least be an easy, medium, and hard level so that we could challenge ourselves. But from what I've seen there's not. So I'm giving WordsStory not two but one star because I feel like this game isn't all that great like it shows in the ads.

So, I was intrigued by the ad for the game, probably like most of you. I see in the ad different scenarios to escape from different areas and the words you figure out are supposed to help the guy try to escape and you get to see a funny little animation of if it goes right or if it goes wrong. That was interesting and worth playing. I download the game and I’m figuring out words that have nothing to do with anything. There’s no clue to a word, so you’re figuring it out from the air. For many levels, the guy is still digging out a hole in the wall. And his “progress” is very slow. I’ve read other reviews that say he’ll still be digging for many, many levels. So, when do we get to actually helping him escape or see the funny animations? I get that that might take some time to get to, but don’t show me an ad where you’re showing the last bit of progress when it’s going to take me 50+ levels to actually get me there. Show me the slow gameplay, so I actually know what I’m getting into. I can see the fun in the game, but watching ads and making little progress over time just isn’t for me.

I have to imagine at least a large portion of these good reviews are somehow manipulated/fake, or maybe they removed negative reviews to alter the overall rating, because this is truly an awful game. For starters, this game has absolutely nothing to do with the ads. But even then it makes no sense. There is little objective to the words you end up making. You’ll end up putting words like cat and fox and you’ll pass the level, but those words have nothing to do with a prison break and they are not shown to have anything to do with the game’s objective. Also, many of the bonus words u can spell are literally not actual words, at least not in English. Words like “sed” and “hors” are validated in the game. I even googled them because for a second I thought maybe i was just dumb and didn’t know the words, but they do not exist. And there are a LOT of “words” like this in the game. There’s nothing wrong with not being fluent in English and developing an app, however it’s probably fair to say you should make an word game app in English if that’s the case. Anyway, perhaps the game will improve but as of now, it’s a waste of anyone’s time.

I’ve been playing this game for awhile now. It does progress, albeit slowly. My problem is that the game is currently frozen. I solved a puzzle fairly far into the game, and it’s just frozen now. I can’t close the game, or get it to do anything. I tried the “App Support” link, but that only takes me to “Terms of Service”. There is no support for in-game errors or glitches. I didn’t see any of the ads that others have said as the main reason they downloaded the game, so I didn’t really have any expectations for how it should appear, etc. It does tend toward repetitiveness in appearance, but it does progress if you stay with it long enough. But it’s beyond frustrating to have it frozen up on me now. I’d like to keep playing, but if it makes me start all over once it decides to un-freeze itself, I’ll be dumping it. I have tried the “App Support” repeatedly, thinking I may have hit the wrong thing, but nope. It only takes me to “Terms of Service”.

Most people download WordsStory because of all the cool looking and fun ads. The ads feature multiple scenes where you need to spell one word with the given letters, and if you spell the word wrong, you fail. NONE of that happens in the real game. The ads are NOTHING like what the game has to offer. I got so bored of it I uninstalled WordsStory at day 28 because it was such a waste of time and nothing interesting happened. What actually happens in WordsStory is the guy does try to escape prison but all he does it dig a little hole and occasionally go outside to dump the rocks out. My question is, IF HES DIGGING A HOLE TO ESCAPE, HOW THE HECK DOES HE GO OUTSIDE?!?? do the cops just let him out? It makes no sense. Also, the game is sooooo boring. Instead of being given all the letters to try and figure out the word, your given a bunch of random letters scrambled all together which is nothing like the ad had displayed. Please make the game like the ads to make it interesting. I have no clue how WordsStory has 4.8 stars. The creator probably made a bunch of bot accounts and rated the game 5 stars. I recommend deleting WordsStory because it will waste your time.

Game is entirely built around draining your wallet. Devs don’t even try to hide it. It’s a cash grab, and I recommend finding a different word game app for this and other reasons.

The dictionary it uses will also not recognize proper nouns, unless it is an arbitrarily chosen proper noun for the level (such as a country name), as well as arbitrarily allowing certain standard English words because I guess they’re vulgar? But somehow proper medical vocabulary is vulgar, but not several other slang and hateful terms, some of which would generally be considered highly offensive and are without any other meanings. So in short, the dictionary is not only incomplete, it is completely arbitrary rather than using a standard boggle or scrabble word list.

Shame on these devs and others like them that can’t make a game that is sold on its merits and has to resort to micro transaction currencies for revenue. Its no secret that this model only makes money because it targets a small percentage of players with addictions, so continuing to use this model in light of this well-known information is not just a cop-out, or bad for the game market, but actually evil.

This game starts off decent as you progress through the Chapters. You unlock upgrades and earn coins just by completing each level. The upgrades are purely cosmetic because it doesn't matter how fast you dig; you still have to complete each chapter just to see the next part of storyline. The shop is a joke with nothing to spend the coins on. They are only useful for blowing up letters and giving hints.

Only play Chapters 1-10 because after that Chapters 11-13 are a total waste of time. THIS GAME IS SO GOOD that it will let you play through 1478 more levels that add absolutely nothing to the storyline. I LOVE IT SO MUCH that I'm greeted with an "All Levels Cleared" button at the end of Level 2000. "See you in the next Chapter"... yeah right clowns, get a clue.

Increasing the amount of levels in each chapter to extend playing time is the best example of artificial difficulty. The game tricks you into thinking there's an epilogue after the Main Story but there isn't. It's just the same still shots with speech bubbles scribbled on the screen. What an absolute letdown.

First off: The ads for this game are absolutely false. You aren’t trying to solve the word puzzle and if you get it wrong the guard catches you. You’re simply solving word puzzles. The entire game is basically every few words you solve a day goes by. Sometimes when you solve a word a simple screen play appears. Usually in the screenplay you’re either given a new tool, you’re dumping dirt outside, or your playing with this random bird. I did see a cop one time, which you bribe with a bottle of wine. But that was it, and it doesn’t seem to have been related to anything. And nothing really happens after that. The hole never changes size and there’s no way to win the game. You just keep solving words with no end in sight.
This game is absolutely pointless and is just a way to waste time. So if that’s what you’re looking for I’d recommend it, but that’s not what I look for in a game.

I really don’t know how it has so many positive reviews unless they are mostly fake. I doubt any of them are real. After 106 days I’ve dug 78 feet into my wall.... how thick are these walls?

It’s good, it’s fun, but the walls are like a kilometer or kilometre or something thick! When I thought I was almost done, I was only a few HUNDRED MILLIONS LEVELS AWAY FROM BREAKING OUT. Not literally, but STILL. I don’t mind the ads as much as other people, but they do get annoying. It’s actually getting pretty boring, as all you do is find words. Maybe add longer words as a challenge, or maybe make the wall a bit thinner. AND ADD MORE ANIMATION THINGS. PLEASE. It was fun, but not anymore. Please, look at at 5 star games about words and get some inspiration, or think of ideas because I CANNOT AFFORD TO LET THIS CUTE LITTLE GUY DIE ALONE IN JAIL BECAUSE I GOT BORED OF THIS... THING. Oh it was a game. When I saw an ad for this, I thought it looked cool. Now, I’m starting to take that back. I feel a bit of regret for getting this game, but otherwise, it’s kinda good. I kinda like the story. KIND OF. Wait, but if he’s innocent, why is he breaking the walls of jail? :/ ? I guess we’ll just have to WAIT and SEE IF HE EVER EVEN GETS OUT OF THIS... THING.

I have been playing this game for a long time and it just keeps repeating itself over and over again this is such a boring game and I see no point of it and it’s nothing like I see In the adds this is a crappy game and I do not recommend it. I have just looked at others reviews saying they same and they are ahead of me and saying that when your at day 126+ your still digging holes in the wall, throwing rocks on the ground. Also the words you find have absolutely nothing to do with the actions your guy finds it’s a pointless and endless game that waste your time and after all the terrible reviews they haven’t fixed anything!! I don’t recommend this game. The adds lie and show the you want they once you download it, it’s the worst thing ever. I understand that people make adds for the game to make you buy it but the ad shouldn’t be the complete opposite of the real thing. I would like if they made the game like the adds. I only downloaded this game because of the adds it seemed fun but now it’s just boring. Pls fix it.!

Word Story is a boring game that is nothing like what they advertise. Where you do sneaky tricks like disguise yourself as a girl, fake pregnancy, dress up as a cop. All of the cool stuff not in the game trust me I forced myself through a lot of it to try and see. It treads a thin line over not being false advertisement. It’s so boring with the same animations over and over. The game is also super buggy for me it crashes if I beat a level or find a word that is not the word the game wants. And if it doesn’t crash if I find a word that is not the answer the letters will stay stuck on the answer boxes and you can’t see what is the world you are typing with out exiting the game again and reopening it. It was mostly a higher level bug and even though they claimed to have “fixed it” five days ago it has not been fixed. I am extremely disappointed at this game and I am tired of all the glitches so I’m uninstalling this game and not recommending it to anyone. Word Story does not deserve its 4.8 score more like a 1.8 score.

Well this game is interesting. The only real good part of this game is that eventually it does become real challenging, and actually requires a brain or dumb luck to complete. The other parts are pretty bad. The scenes that happen in game are so bad that it’s hilarious, the way things literally fall from the sky. This game tries to get you to watch ads to get boosts that speed up digging time. This however does not matter as there is simply a level system, so the devs are straight up lying to you. Speaking of lying, the ads for this game are actually hilariously terrible. They follow the trend of “make it look stupid easy and say people fail it often so that people watch our ads to prove themselves.” This is scummy already, but they go further by using non existing scenarios in the ads, when only one terrible one exists that to my knowledge did not get an ad. Overall, this game is scummy and only got 2 stars because it does provide a challenge if you can stand this [heck] fest

1st: This game is loosely based on the
movie 'Shawshank Redemption'!! Just
so the ones that don't know now know.

2nd: I gave this game 3 stars cause for some reason I've noticed that while I'm playing I'll lose feet of progress of my tunnel!! Whats going on? Is it me? Is it the game? Please help! If it's me please tell me what I'm doing wrong but if it's the game then please fix this. I just started playing the other day and I was 36 feet into the tunnel and I do a few word puzzles and then it says my progress is only 24 feet! So please what's going on? I don't understand at all. The ads are irratating but I can deal with that but losing my progress for no reason, that I can't deal with. Fix that and u will get 5 stars from me. Thanks and I hope to see a reply to this soon cause it's bothering me so bad I'm on the verge of deleting.

Also I agree with some of the other players....it would be nice to have some more cut scenes. Maybe have him interact with other prisoners and I think the words u have to find should be more linked to the scenes. For example, show him outside playing ball with others and have the word puzzles be about the ballgame and so forth. Or him doing his prison job one day in the laundry and the puzzle words be connected to the laundry. Just to keep is a lil more entertained in the story a lil more.

This game is the worst. I get ads on it all the time and thought that it was interesting. Once I downloaded the game, it was nothing like the ads. There is literally no story line besides the character trying to dig a hole in a wall, and dumping rocks outside out of a weird little brown bag. The only “fun” part was trying to find the words, which by the way have no relevance to the game. They are just random words most of the time, unlike the ads that make it seem like whatever word you spell is what is going to help you escape prison. But this was such a waste a time, because I was playing the game for a long time waiting for something to happen and nothing did. If this game was something like the ads I saw online I would be way more interested, but again, it’s is not. Just don’t download this game, and don’t waste your time on it. I normally do not leave reviews but I felt that I needed to leave one on WordsStory just because of how much it surprised me that something like this could be so misleading.
