Word Swipe Connect: Crossword Reviews

by Rood67

This is an OK time waster if getting a headache from the aggravation of words not found, and the horribly loud background elevator music.

I’m currently at level 95, so it’s not like I don’t play. But I have to silence my tablet, and after a few games, stop before I scream at the shear stupidity of the words chosen as I watch again and again word found but not part of this puzzle go up to the top for extra words.

Having played this game for over a year, the negatives finally caught up with the enjoyment of this game, as it become incredible boring and frustrating. Legitimate words were banned because they didn’t apply to their interpretation of family values, even though they were not vulgar or offensive. Bonus point rounds also disappeared, archaic words (historically defunct) appeared, and random bugs multiplied, making game play not worth the effort.

The further into play the more legit (dictionary) words are rejected and sort of jibberish words are allowed. Also when words are found at high speed they are rejected only to be accepted later within the same play sequence. Should I slow down? Maybe … it’s more likely I’ll uninstall as the game works for the creator but not so much for good players. Too bad.

by Ads Make Frustrating

This game has too many adds! And they are long! It takes longer to watch the add than to play the game. It didn’t use to be this way. Now there is an add after every game and it’s a long wait watching the same adds over and over. The wait is so long and frustrating that it’s just easier to stop playing.

I really like this game but it has one horrible flaw. It has way too many bonus words. On one puzzle, I got over 110 bonus words before I solved the puzzle and the game stopped counting them at that point. When you put in a word that fits the puzzle and doesn’t affect other words in the puzzle, it should count – not just be a bonus word. Too frustrating.

The game is entertaining but ruined by loud annoying ads for other games that take over your screen—and you can’t turn the sound off on these ads. Developer should offer an ad free game for a bit more money. I will remove the game from my screen as soon as I submit this rating.

by KissyBug

I love this game and overall the ads are tolerable even though I’d still prefer a paid version to avoid them. However there is an ad that has appeared recently that cannot be closed. It’s not pertinent to me but has been popping up several times daily. I have to close WordSwipeConnect and come back in to continue play and sometimes even that doesn’t work. Please fix this annoyance! The ad shows a glass filling up and has to do with Senior benefits.

Mostly a good experience. Often challenging. I hung with it, playing almost every day for about a year. I am giving it a break for now. After reaching level 1512 (“Tranquility”) the puzzle started using fake words, i. e. , words that can’t be found in any dictionary , along with medieval words that haven’t been used since Chaucer’s time. So we’re trying something different for a while.

I love love loved it I love the way that you have to try to find all those words when I first got it. I found like two ads, but some people think they’re like so so so so so long but for me they’re actually not that bad you get these ads after you can complete like five levels then you get one of those ads you can switch the words around which is really fun so that it gives you some more clues you can you have coins to buy clues once I hit a random button and I finished my thing for me when I was really stuck I had like two words left, but I think this game is really really fun and you should definitely get it

It’s not quite up to par with wordscapes games. It doesn’t recognize common words like “nor” or “apt”. Even though sounds and music are turned off, it still makes an annoying and unwanted “fireworks “ sound at the end of each round. I like the screen dimming option. Overall good, but could use some improvement.

by Miranore

I really enjoy this. It’s about the right difficulty to be fun but still relaxing but not frustrating. Not sure about some of the short words it includes. Only drawback is it really needs some way, a clip board to be able to see the extra words you already found.

by Parisindiana

I enjoy this game, but have found sometimes it doesn’t take the word you type in despite it being correct. Also, there have been times when the same word is used twice. I have used coins to try to find the correct word, only to find the word was already used in the puzzle. Very frustrating!

by Grape The Teddy Bear

Some of the words are words in some of the puzzles and in others they are not. For instance "LAN" was an acceptable word in a couple and then suddenly it wasn't. In another puzzle "wive" was a word. I'm not sure about the usage in other English-speaking countries but in the States "wive" is not a word. Wives is a word and wife is a word. The shuffles also produce some interesting words upon first glance, like just now I shuffled the letters and it literally spelled "into anal". 😳

by Ilene Wilder

So far I am enjoying this game, right now my one issue is that you can’t see the list of the bonus words you have used which is helpful to not keep repeating them and all other games I have that have bonus words do let you see that list.

I have now played over 1500 games in WordSwipeConnect. The last few now have made up words. I have tried finding a dictionary that has them, like game 1583, the word freet, or perfet. I can’t wait to see what other ones they’ve come up with.

by Sillysocks70

I’ve been playing this for some time. It starts out with 5 letters and builds to 9 letters which makes it very challenging,which I think is great. I reached level 1000 and it’s back to 5 letters. This is no longer a challenge. I won’t play it anymore. Sad ,I really liked this game 🤨

by KitKat A

I prefer WordSwipeConnect to others like it. It doesn’t take forever to get to more interesting levels and the ads are much less obnoxious than other word wheel apps. First 20 games I didn’t even see an ad and eventually I invested in the small amount (less than others I looked at) to make it ad-free because I enjoy playing it so much. Just the right amount of challenging for me!

by Dfs356

I’ve tried most of these swipe word games and this one is by far the best. The others are clunky, hard to escape out of ads etc. this game is fast, easy to exit ads (but I recommend paying the $3 for the upgrade, it makes the game fly!)

by Jackj1100

I have been a user and fan of WordSwipeConnect for over a year, but it will no longer open. I could delete it, and then reinstall it, but I have already progressed through many levels, and I don’t want to start over.

by MDC104

Have been playing up to level 16 and so far no annoying ads. Have been looking for such a game but unless you paid, you had to sit through an ad between levels. Not so for this one.

by TracyM09

I searched through the Apps looking for a word game that didn’t just repeat words over and over, this is is the game I kept! I love the sound track, the backgrounds are quite beautiful, and the game itself is sometimes a challenge. It really is a game made for adults and I appreciate that!! Thank You!

by Yake It Or Leave It.

I really enjoy playing this Game. It does not have all the interruptions that plague most other Games. If I want to play other Games I will download them with out having to be asked.

I don’t have another mickname

Best game ever if you want to keep your mind sharpe and are a good speller. Don’t be fooled as it starts out easy but the more you play, the more challenging it becomes. I just installed on a new device (old one didn’t support the game well). I had found almost 9,000 words on my old device.

by Hiney Ho

It says $2.99 to remove ads on WordSwipeConnect Store listing, but I had a hard time figuring out how. Not in Settings. It plays an ad after every round, but at least it lets you skip them. This is much better than any other ‘free with ads’ game. So, I am ready to pay the $3 and finally found it in the $ buy more coins button. Whew! The game is fun - I enjoy it more now!

by Rapunzll

I downloaded this after playing a Word Swipe game on words with friends. Found this game and now I’ve already played more than 700 games. My adult daughter also got hooked in my grandsons who are 11 and 13 also enjoy it. I am in my 60s and think that this is probably a good game for brain health.I even paid the two bucks to get rid of the ads although the ads honestly we’re not really a big issue. Highly recommend.

This is a great game to challenge the mind. I also love that it does not have a lot of ads. There are ads but not after every game you complete. Plus the ads are only five seconds each. The puzzles are really good too.
