Wordfully Reviews

I have come across a lot of bizarre words like ingot and jihab. One word meant a coin from the 1600s. How would anyone guess that?? There have even been some words that aren't in the dictionary at all!

Also aggravating are the plural 4 letter words, slang, and abbreviations.

The worst for me and the reason why I am deleting Wordfully is because the word was squab. I looked it up and was greeted with pictures of dead birds. I volunteer at a bird rehabilitation center and know that birds are very affectionate and intelligent, especially pigeons. So to see those images was very upsetting, similar to what most people would feel seeing pictures of dead puppies on a serving dish.

I will happily pay two dollars for an ad-free wordle game that only uses normal words, avoids plurals, slang and abbreviations, and doesn't overstep privacy boundaries. That game does not exist yet.

There is a puzzle with SAYSO as the answer but it will not accept it. Tried putting it in twenty times and it said it wasn’t a word (I agree it needs a hyphen). Finally gave up and revealed the correct answer to find it’s SAYSO. Frustrating because there’s no way to report this. Only been playing for a few days so I’m sure there’s more errors to be found.

I got an Apple Watch for Christmas and as someone who loves to play Wordle, I was so excited to see Wordfully available. I was really disappointed when I went to play it and find out it doesn’t work. I’m only able to enter the first letter but as soon as I tap on the next letter to enter, nothing works. I can hear and feel it scroll but the spot remains blank. I’m not even able to enter a full word because of this. Really disappointing.

I loved the original wordle but this version has too many of the answer words that end in “S” which sounds great but it makes those answers almost impossible to solve. There are just too many possibilities with the plural words. It becomes basically a guessing game. Stick with the original; this game is partly a 5-letter wordle, but too many of the answers are just 4-letter words with an “S” stuck on the end.

It provides nice Wordle “fix” for the most part, except when the solutions are plurals — which I’ve been conditioned to avoid playing Wordle. As mentioned by others, it would be nice to be able to switch off plurals.

I love the design and option for higher word counts, but unfortunately am unable to play due to being colorblind. Might you be able to add a “colorblin mode” in the future for correctly finding the letters in a word? Thanks!

I’m slightly colorblind, and on colorblind mode I still have trouble seeing what letters are in the word but not in the correct place (I think they are red?). Also, the instructions should specify what the colors each mean in colorblind mode, that took me a minute to figure out by trial and error.

Lastly, I think the game would be better if no letters could be repeated within the word. It should be 5 unique letters. But if you’re going to keep it how it is, maybe add a note in the instructions that letters can be repeated in the secret word.

One of the last puzzles I did had “lynch” as the answer. Yeah, it’s still Black History Month and even if it wasn’t, this word is loaded with hideous images of painful, unnecessary deaths of Black people. Please review the words you use. I deleted Wordfully instantly for fear of what other words might pop up.

I love this one because you can purchase to remove ads and enable dark mode! I wish they would remove plural words from the list of possible solutions. The original allows you to guess plurals, but it doesn’t allow a plural to be the answer. Allowing the answer to be plural really changes up your strategy because there are so many!

But it needs improvement. Slang and abbreviated words are irritating, but the worst are words that are so specialized to a particular field there is no chance of getting them. I’ve had to look up word’s meanings to see if they were actually words. Mirriam Webster didn’t know the meaning of one recently. I’m not saying dumb it down, just be more judicious.

Wordfully is great fun. It could be improved by allowing the user to place letters out of order (instead of having to type the full word from left to right, allow players to “set” letters they are sure of first and then add and remove other letters to try out possible words before submitting by hitting enter).

This is a great word guessing game. It’s a nice basic version without all the social/sharing nonsense other apps include. The cost to remove ads is really reasonable and actually does seem to remove all ads. One annoying thing is the inclusion of plurals - please get rid of words ending in ‘s’! Almost half of the solutions are four letter plurals.

I like Wordle, but I’m too impatient to wait between games, so I was looking for a fallback. Wordful came out on top, because it has a nice, simple appearance, user-friendly keyboard, and not too many ads. It also allows more tries when you need them, and the option to leave out words with duplicate letters. My complaint is that too many of the words are lame. There are lots of uncommon informal ones (like “litho,” for lithograph), and a high percentage of regular ones with an “s” tacked on the end, which is just plain lazy. Also, I’ve only been playing for a few days, and I’ve already come across the same words several times. If that keeps up at this rate, I might have to shop for another Wordle alternative.

The last version, I paid for no advertising. They changed the name from wordlets to Wordful and the ads are back, even though I paid to eliminate.

I would like to be able to choose a letter and not start the whole word. Also, to take off a letter in the middle of work.

As a WORDLE aficionado, I was looking for a WORDLE alternative that I could play multiple times per day. I downloaded multiple WORDLE alternative apps and tried them all. This was the one that I liked best and I was so impressed, that I purchased the paid version, in order to remove the ads.

There are three suggestions for improvement.

1) in the settings menu, please add a button to turn off Plurals that just take a four letter words and add an “s” to the end;

2) a few other WORDLE clones have the ability to put any letter into any spot without having to type in a complete word(for example if you know the third and fifth letters you can just type them in and see how they look as you add in more letters);

3) add the time on the playing screen (I have lost track of the time playing this game many times);

4) add a button in Settings to disable any sounds.

Love the game. Please keep improving and updating it!

If you want more than 1 wordle a day play this game! It even has extra features too!

It's so worth it to play as long you want with having to pause and wait for the ads. Ot's a whole different experience, and so much more fun. If you love wordle, you'll love this.

I like the clean interface and the similar approach as wordle so picking up was easy. Ads are not disruptive or with sound so totally manageable. The help and ability to have more than 5 words options are also great

I’m loving Wordfully. over a couple other Wordl games I’ve played. I can play games without having ads making me play games in between each wordl that I win in 3 (average win in Wordl takes me 3 tries
