Word Trails NETFLIX Reviews

by PNBB18

I got to I believe level 165 and the game wanted me to complete all previous levels to go beyond level 165. Basically start over in order to move forward. Rip off. Deleting.

Gets stuck over and over

by Puzzler656

Game play is easy enough, but no way to tell if you are actually doing it the best way to maximize score. The instructions on this are not very clear. Also, if you get stuck on a level and don’t have enough coins to buy a hint there is no way to bypass and move on, you’re just stuck and the whole game is over.

Starts out being a fun game but quickly becomes and exercise in remembering a handful of words ad nauseam: era, ore, sue, let, eat are some of the game designers favorites. If you want to repeat those words 6070 times this game is for you!

At game 374 only 6% of players successfully complete the puzzle. Sure that might be true if they included the word “beal” instead of “able”, but they don’t. It’s because 94% of players that started have quit out of boredom. I’ll be joining those statistics.

Another issue is that the puzzle allows the use of slang as long as it conforms to the outdated and narrow definition of “normal“, e.g. “boner” is accepted but “trans” is not, “amen” is thumbs up but “amir” is a big thumbs down.

Uninstalled, what are you running in the background that heats the iphone 15 pro up like crazy?

Impossible

by Amdsoo

I was at game #365, with about 8000 experience points when suddenly, I am back to game #162 and 0 experience point. So frustrating and disappointing!

by Pantangeli

Opportunities to earn coins. Weak coins when puzzles completed ten coins after a completed puzzle not enough. Low a mount of coins when level completed on Netflix app

by Purphouse

I thought this game included multiple types of word puzzles. Instead it's just the word search puzzle that gets very boring very fast.

by Akruel

Some of the most obvious words are “bonus” words, but worst of all, the game repeats sets of letters - and it’s not like they repeat after hundreds of levels, I got the letters for OCEAN twice within an hour of playing.
No ads, though, which is nice.

Functionality is sub par. The game penalizes you for it not being able to keep up with hand gestures. The swipe isn’t sensitive enough at times.

by Bucktown14

Game is fun I enjoy playing but doesn’t accumulate points accurately so you never really get anywhere. At one more as I went into the next round I actually lost 100 coins somehow. Very weird but fun.

by Optifex

I want to request that the user can set their level. Starting out with basic words should be a one time intro. Instead you can't seem to get through them. I had to stop because it was so basic it made my head hurt.

The UI is rewarding but too slow to the reward, so you have to wait each level for this screen to pass, which is excruciatingly slow and repetitive.

You want to WordTrailsNETFLIX quick for the quick, not make the quick feel slow. This is for a 5 year old, and should be marked as such.

I like the game and I like to play it when I’m bored in public. However I always scare myself whenever the sound is on although my ringer is off. I always have to make sure my volume is down to play. Also I cannot play music and play at the same time. I believe both issues only occur during the main game (not during other features like the daily owl).

by CeraSendsHerLove

I logged in and all my progress was lost. I was over level 2000, but now it's starting me at level 0. This happened with the Cats&Soup Netflix game too.

Like another reviewer said, the beginning levels are annoying because they're too easy. Alas, i need to stop playing Netflix apps if they're all going to randomly reset on me.

It’s not a bad game but there are flaws. One main thing is when you do the puzzle of the day and you earn stars to complete a picture the game doesn’t give you all the stars you earn. Example pictures need a certain amount of stars and you can earn up to 8, 10, 12 stars but I only get 3 stars and a picture needs 4 stars to complete. Why don’t I get all my stars? One time I completed the puzzle and earned 15/15 stars and only received 4 enough to complete the picture. What’s the purpose of the puzzle to earn 15 stars but you don’t even get to keep them all? Today I earned 10/12 and I only received 3 stars and didn’t complete the picture of the day. Picture needed 4 stars. It is also very repetitive and gets boring after a few days.

I feel like there are several ways this game could be given a higher difficulty, like, more points for speed, which would thus make you lose your bonus if you go too fast. I’d also like a keyboard option, maybe there is somewhere, but not on the phone? Idk. I lose bonuses all the time from a slippery finger and that feels cheap. Also, the coins are cool but they just make the game even easier. Um, can their be some dumb thing to unlock besides ways to make it easier? I think more risk/reward could be fun, too. For example, if there is a bonus word and you don’t get it before you finish the puzzle, you shouldn’t get to get it. I assumed that was the rule until I found it waits for you to guess it, which seemed again, too easy. Maybe these can be turned on and off, so it appeals to more people? I like words puzzles and the only time I really enjoy this game is when I give myself made up rules and go super fast, and when I finally get stuck on like, idk, EMU, I like the game again. Anyway, thanks! Can’t beat the price of free with Netflix, so, not really a complaint, just a wish.

by Jacob Tapp

I love this game in all its form. Played the ad supported version and the Apple Arcade one but when my trial to Apple Arcade was up I was happy to see Netflix offered an ad free version too. Unfortunately it’s not really polished compared to the other versions. On a Pro Max phone the game does not take up the full screen. The animations sometimes don’t play out correctly. And the sound effects occasionally cut out. None of these issues prevent me from enjoying the game but it the experience is a bit jank because of them.

by Jamcat1190

It’s fun at first, but I’m on level 250 and it’s starting to feel very repetitive. It just feels way too easy and I can’t imagine needing to use any of the hints. My biggest beef with it is that there are SO many words (even common ones) that the game doesn’t recognize. Also, having to empty the bonus point jar all the time is just stupid. What are the bonus points even for??? I see absolutely no need to earn them and they just get in the way.

by 2mnykidz

Game is fine. Missing some words but what is really annoying is that the scramble letters button, which is used frequently is so close to the other buttons that cost points. When trying to play quickly and move up, more than once I have hit the lightening bolt which costs the most points and I only have one word left. Move the buttons up!! Away from the scramble button. It is ridiculous. Unless the intent is this. So annoying.

Also jigsaw events are timed but they seem to start at midnight. I only have very little time to do it. Crazy. Stupid.

by N0 0NE HERE

Even when I turn off the music and sounds, it still makes noise. This is especially annoying if I’m listening to music because when it makes a sound, it trumps the music app and stops the music from playing even after there are no more game sounds. Please fix

by Tristiam

I've enjoyed the game quite a bit and other than several words that don't make it into the game's dictionary for various reasons, it's still fairly fun to play. My ONLY complaint is how events are handled. No I don't want to play the different events that pop-up, and yes I already know how to play them I don't need to be reminded how to play every. single. event. Let me choose how I want to play, don't force me into learning how to play the event again, and don't force me to click buttons I didn't want to click explaining the proper way to play the event. I've already played several of them! Stop telling me that I'm playing the event incorrectly. every. single. event. Just let me play how I want!

by ToothieLee

Same words over and over again. This is not fun after you reach a certain point. The rewards aren’t very good either.

by G Seifer

In South Korea game 11 the last word that is left. 3 letters first letter R, going down, second letter blank, third letter P. The letters that you are given are, F I O P R T. And it will not allow any more words to complete the puzzle. Therefore you can not advance.

by Deeders949

Fun game good time killer and mindless play. Has a few glitches in the letter game. The letter game won’t show the picture to allow you to finish. It’s been hard trying to reach anyone to let them know.

by ThaMENACING1

Was good before words started to repeat themselves.

by Fjgghjj

… I wish I could pay my music when playing. Listen to podcasts.

Also, the word choices are…interesting

by MeekoBella123

I am really enjoying WordTrailsNETFLIX. Especially like pitting myself against other spellers without anytime pressure. A couple things I don’t like are the use of ancient archaic words on occasion and inconsistency in allowing past tense or plurals of words in order to solve a puzzle.

by Knighteded

There are too many really easy puzzles to get you started that I think people would pass it off as too easy and stop playing.

by Smac1007

Dislike that music plays when opening app even when turned off. Have to go to settings and turn music on then off AGAIN to get it to stop EVERY time app is re-opened. Annoying. But I still like WordTrailsNETFLIX .

by LizHillwriter

Entertaining game with the usual quirks and repetition of any word scrambling game. The hints and special games are a little confusing. Most annoying every time I play again I have to shut off sound and music. If there’s a way to silence it permanently I can’t see how.

by Zoe 🥳🌼🍄

Talk about how hard it is to find a game at a low price has no adds and is fun to play it challenging and fun to play a game like this is like a life saver for long car rides road trips plane rides and more it makes you smarter and learn new words it easy and also hard to play in my opinion it is great I never get bored on it my mind feels great after I play the game I love it hope you have a nice day

by Johann Riviere

Adding the embedded dictionary was a major improvement. Adding the pronunciation is a stellar improvement. Now a minute request: after completing the game, I want to access the meaning of the last word right away. The current dictionary should be sorted by giving access to the last word first. In my opinion, I would want to access that last word first before moving on to the next level. I don’t want to go through the random list of words to read the definition of the last one. I had plenty of opportunities to check for any other words before solving the last word. Therefore I think putting the last word first in accessing the dictionary at the end of the level is a must.

It would interesting to add a counter for the countries left to reach the end of the game along with a list of countries completed.

by CoolestCoCo

A fun game but inconsistent with which words are allowed. A rarely used word like clough is accepted, but cuke (which means cucumber) is not allowed. Also pro is acceptable but mod and fab are not. Otherwise, I enjoy this game. It keeps me busy when I’m bored.

by Rpr111

Keep hitting button on accident.

by Pooppizza123

It was fun but if you don’t like challenge you should pass on it and play a different game. For my honest review you should give it a try it might not be for all people.

by MechVent

I’m loving this word game. The game is not timed so you can complete puzzles at ease. The bonus puzzles don’t make much sense as it tells you to find a word for let’s say 4 boxes but there are 3-4 other boxes needing to be solved. It reminds you to solve the word where the owl is but how the heck do you know which word goes where? This holds most true when you are at the beginning of the puzzle.

by Zis4zane

You might think this game is about solving puzzles to the advance to the next, but after playing this game for a few hours I quickly realized that the whole point of the game is actually to fill the bonus word jar. My one note of constructive feedback is that it would be appreciated to have the ability to submit words that are for some reason are not validated as a bonus word.

Overall, nice game. feels like constructive stimulation for the mind.

by Icart Ewol

I love this glorious game and am already on level 369. However, I really wish the coin buttons were at the top of the screen instead of the right side because I keep accidentally hitting them and wasting all my coins. Great game though!

by Jrh1369

This has been one of the best games I downloaded. Its brought the family together. Its a challenge to be able to do a puzzle alone. If i leave it open or even let my kids use my phone, its fun to see we all jump in to play and help each other. Thanks for the fun times. Highly recommend this for the hole family.

Jese and her crew.

by Jhulienne

It made me think a lot of different words I know, some are easy, some are difficult.

by Rxtks8

Bonus

by AkinsAspire

This is great like all the other games

by Jvwonder

love this game and have found myself getting stuck in my head thinking of the word, while other times I can quickly complete the puzzle. My 7 year old asked to play it, and I was happy she liked it so much. She has struggled with spelling certain words, and this has actually helped her understand some of the weird nuances that come up in English.

by Egeek84

Relaxing and no ads

by Gab&Joey Grandma

I can’t finish 1 puzzle how do I move on to another one. Been playing for a month never had this problem

by Hilosanne

Many of these word games have a limited vocabulary - this is NOT one of them. This is the most comprehensive wordlist of this type of game😀 Love to play for distraction and to quiet anxiety.
Surprised they didn’t have coati though.

by Triceyyy Pooh

No ads! Nice music as well.

by Allrandomsliketopaint

Game was very soothing as well as reminded me of our saviour Jesus Christ. 🥹 I pray you all have a blessed day and pray those who need Jesus that he may come close to you.

by Dante's Opus

Addictive game, gets more difficult as you progress.

by Simple But Not

At first, it seems easy, but then you get a little stumped keeps your mind busy

by Hilohere

And that makes me happy!
I also find it addicting, very satisfying. Wife’s main complaint is daily coins have stopped for a few days now, she depends on them.
She really would like a way to purchase coins if needed, okay I call it cheating but she’s got a point. There’s people who really need them occasionally.

by Monsey’s

I love playing these word puzzles they keep me company when I’m lonely and helps me relax when worried and anxious!

Really fun

by Doc Holladay-AZ

I just turned 78 and find this to be a great challenging and enjoyable mind exercise game.

by AlejoEsq

Great game to keep mind active and vocabulary

by JesusFreak1029

It’s so nice to play this game and not have to worry about in app purchases or adds after every solve.

by Yuenvision

Great game! I play constantly! (In the top .66%)

Bug report:
Occasionally, when going to claim a quest bonus, user cannot leave the quest screen.

Expected behavior:
Tapping back arrow or a blue bonus icon takes user back to game

Actual behavior:
No links are responsive. Blue buttons still display resize animated onclick feedback but doesn't change view back to game

Workaround:
Close down app and restart

by Djrenz

Application plays sounds even when muted

by Endai Beau

Fun and satisfying. Challenges brain and patience! Needs to be played with both sides of the brain! LOL!

by Cjbooshay

I wish I could sit here all day doing this. I have to pry myself away.

by Jaadubun

I am enjoying it and I highly recommend to anyone who loves solving puzzles.
