I played this specific app constantly around 8 years back. I'm so pleased to find that it still exists and is visually and functionally identical! So many word search games make themselves needlessly sparkly and the pointless graphics make the actual search board smaller. Not this one! This is simple-and-easy, randomly generated goodness, with easy controls, pleasant colors, and simple settings.

2023 UPDATE: This game doesn't work well with gesture navigation in Android. The columns of letters on the far left and right are right in the gesture area, thus causing a "back" navigation gesture if dragging inward from the edge. That makes it VERY hard to play. Otherwise use an ad blocker for the ads and this game is perfect.

Enjoyed playing for 1st hour, then after I spend 10 to 15 seconds completing level forced to watch a 30 second video. It's not worth playing with 30 second adds that last longer than my levels. I spend more time watching videos then playing the game. If adds were spaced further apart it would be worth it to watch adds but it's definitely not unless you are extremely slow at finding words.

Have had this app on my phone for a long time & like it a lot. It's fun & relaxing. The issue is with the ads. Most ads have rolling text thru multiple screens. It's impossible for me to play game when ads are constantly moving...screen after screen after screen after screen. It never ends. Look at Boost Mobile ad for example. Changing from 1 ad to another is fine but the scrolling has to stop. Otherwise I have to block my screen to not see them. Not workable. How about ads between games?

Needs a true dark mode. I've been using this app for years and always loved how simple, beautiful and stable it is, with a great selection of words and word lengths. That being said, I think this app is direly needing a true dark mode. Just having the background being a dark gray with the rest of the screen blaring white isn't a good enough dark mode especially when you're playing this at night/in dim light. I will gladly change my review to five stars if this is revisited

It's a great game. Does what it's supposed to do. Entertaining, improves eye comphrension, recognition, good way to fill in time while waiting for appts. When theres no other people, in the zone to communicate with. As that's ALWAYS the 1st priority. Especially in present times we're living in. We so need to be connected and friendly. - David

I like that I can play my own music while playing this game and that there's not a heavy ad presence. I wish there were more colors you could choose as the wordsearch background. Also, it seems like a LOT of the words were made up. If you don't like having to deal with the pressure of a timer actively monitoring your progress this would be good game to play.

2021 Update - I still enjoy this word search four years later - not TOO easy! Not too hard - just plug along in "the zone" I seek when I want to turn my mind away from real life! Soothing, zoning, relaxing - I will say though, I always find words not included in the list - how about adding a feature which allows for marking those?

Would rate 5 stars if the puzzles saved. Every time I'm in the middle of one, if I have to check a text or turn off my phone for even a moment, I'm surprised with a new puzzle and all progress gone on the previous one... Should be an option to change in settings. A decent app, if you don't mind it being a requirement that you give it your undivided attention. P.s. Reading through the reviews, I noticed absolutely no feedback from the developer concerning issues. 1 star now, and uninstalling.

If you are looking for a basic word search game that isn't full of ads (yes it has one at the top but you know what I mean by "full of ads") or some kind of a cheesey gotcha system then this is the game you're looking for. The words range from small 3 letter words to long words that I have to look up the definition. (Psst... Devs, a built in dictionary in this game would make it perfect!) There's score keeping as well. For me, this is the perfect word search game.
