- Ads are excessive, with long, unskippable ads appearing after every puzzle and even during gameplay.

“I didn't even mind paying for the ad free version. ... However, needing coins to solve hidden words is terrible. I got to level 55 and am out of coins so I either have to go back to watch ads (for very few coins) or I have to pay for coins.”Rating: 3★ January 18, 2025 612 likes - The game aggressively pushes a $5.99 ad-free purchase with pop-ups after every two puzzles, which feels offensive to users.

“once you get up around level 25, an ad for "an updated version of the game" pops up after every two puzzles in an attempt to get you to play $5.99 to remove ads. This game is not worth 5.99, and that practice is just offensive.”Rating: 2★ May 31, 2025 381 likes

2★Noisy ads. I'm almost on level 350, I obviously like this game a lot. The daily puzzles/quotes are now broken up into 2 puzzles. Great! That's fun and interesting. Except now there's an ad after the first part of the puzzle, then another ad after the second half of the puzzle. I kept on playing even tho it's annoying. But now, there's an actual noise making ad that plays WHILE you're in the middle of your game. That's my breaking point, I'm uninstalling this game.

3★The game play is very fun. However, the ads are becoming way too intrusive and makes me not want to play as much. I don't mind ads since the game is free. But some ads are repetitive, unskippable and over a minute long. Really?!? Now there are literally ads playing during game play where I have to turn off the sound. Google needs to start cracking down and limit ads to no longer than 30 seconds. Sad.

3★It's a fun app, easy mindless easy to relax. I didn't even mind paying for the ad free version. If someone makes a good game, I have no problem paying them. However, needing coins to solve hidden words is terrible. I got to level 55 and am out of coins so I either have to go back to watch ads (for very few coins) or I have to pay for coins. So, spend $5 for ad free and am stuck at level 55 since I don't want to spend more money nor do I want to watch multiple long ads.

2★Wow, the number and length of ads after each round have gotten insane. I have been playing this game for months and something has changed within the last few weeks to where the game is almost unplayable. I have found it is easier to just exit out of the game after every single round and open it back up as it is quicker than letting the ads play.

2★The game itself is a relaxing word search. Pretty good for what it is. HOWEVER, once you get up around level 25, an ad for "an updated version of the game" pops up after every two puzzles in an attempt to get you to play $5.99 to remove ads. This game is not worth 5.99, and that practice is just offensive.
