NEW: STRANDS
Our latest game lets you find hidden words and uncover the day’s theme. It’s the word search you know, with a twist.

TILES
Unwind while you match elements in the day’s pattern — the key is to make consecutive matches.

Let's you play to a certain point in a level of a game then makes you subscribe to continue THE SAME LEVEL! I can understand if it let you actually complete a level as a demo, but I started one game and before that first level could be completed it forced subscription. Tell me ahead of time if I cannot complete even a level without subscribing. One star, never coming back. Good job!

Why keep updating things that aren't broken? Loading issues on the March update were fixed but now a massive battery drain has been introduced. My battery used to last a couple days, now it is half day. Found the culprit, it's this app! Uninstalling fixed the issue. So does force stopping after use. Would be nice if it just worked.

I have really enjoyed playing the NYT's daily Wordle, but for some odd reason, it randomly deletes my win streak and resets to 0. Frustrating, because it knocked out my 96 or 98 win streak juat this past week, so I'm at 4 games only. (Actually, it pisses me off.) Earlier this year, it was resetting me to 0 every 2-3 weeks, but this time I was SO close to 100. Is there anything you can do on your end to fix whatever glitch is causing this? Thank you!
