I love the challenge. I love THIS game. The only problem I have is some of the ads won't go away or bring up the 'x' to close them out. It keeps making me repeat the same game because I am unable to close the game....so frustrating. Fix this and I would absolutely love this game.

I used to love this game. It was challenging, but not to the point you couldn't solve. Then the update came along. Now it is terrible. You no longer get free letters or hints. Before the update, the letters provided were a decent variety. Now your lucky if you make a 3 letter word from the letters provided. Coins won doesn't add to the total half the time. Very frustrating and not fun anymore. Almost to the point of uninstalling.

Not worth it. There are updates every couple of days and if you don't have strong WiFi at home, or unlimited data, this interrupts game play. The way to earn coins is by coming back every 3 hrs for 310 coins and then watch a video for double that in coins, and you get a few coins for each successful level pass. It costs 210 coins each attempt at a level. It also costs tokens, earned in games, to pass onto new "territories". With all the ads, I'd pass. There are other games that are better.

Amazing game. Exactly what is advertised. Nice graphics and effects and perfect for those that like scrabble and word games. I only rated 4 stars because ads pop up during gameplay which is annoying when you're trying to complete a level. I definitely expect ads but typically before or after a level or for rewards not in the middle of gameplay please fix.

Fun game when it runs properly. Has too many bugs though. Might be due to too many ads. Would like for ads only to run when you need powers or coins, but running them randomly is hurting the game. If you are in the middle of the game and the game bugs out, all the progress you put into a puzzle is lost. I lost 2 free chances and lots of coins this way. I am okay with ads, just not how it is run on this game.

While the game is fun to play, it is frustrating that it cheats. 8 turns and all consonants, swapping letters 2 times & still all consonants. Making 8 two letter words in a row because of the cheating.... makes the game not fun. It seems that if you stop playing for some time it cheats less for a few games. The game freezes and you are unable to make any choices. It's frustrating to not be able to claim your coins because the game is messed up.

The game is generally very good and I enjoy playing it, but I keep losing out on getting extra coins because the ad for Tri Peaks Solitaire never works. If you click the option to get an extra move or more coins by watching an ad and get that one, you're outta luck. Please remove that ad. Stars will go up after that.

Seems like a fun game. Slightly different variation of Scrabble. I'm new to the game but it seems like certain aspects of the game are unobtainable. The cards you flip to get Tiles seem like it's only obtained if you have enough flips to flip every card. The tiles always end up being on the last one left... doesn't seem very fair. I'm still discovering new aspects so I'll update if new things change anything... ;)

The ad misrepresented the game BIG time. It showed a game where you make multiple words out of a given word; instead, it is a glorified version of Scrabble using imitation graphics from a popular toy blast game...right down to the music and sound FX. If you're a Scrabble fan this game could be fun, but if you came hoping for what the ad promised, you're better off going with something else.

This could be one hell of a game if you didnt get kicked out of it so much, and not only lose your progress but also the 200 plus coins you pay to play that level.. This game is really challenging and time consuming and keeps you busy when you have time to spare. I do really like this game but when ive put so much into a level and it crashs and doesnt save my progress then my furstration hits the ceiling! It sucks more when your low on coins and cant even play again until your coins anti up.
