Game is fun and challenging. WAY too many ads. Complete 2 or 3 letters and you get a mid-game ad. You get an ad after you solve the puzzle and then another one before the next one stars. WAY, WAY too many ads. I don't mind an ad here and there, but this is utterly ridiculous. There's really no reason to keep the game. Just plain greedy by the developer. Do better.

The puzzles are fun but the amount of ads takes away the enjoyment of the game. You have to view an ad to mark the puzzle as complete, take an "Ad Break" in the middle of a long puzzle, then there's an ad before the next puzzle. I understand that ads generate revenue but there is such a thing as "too much" and it's killing the experience of the game.

i like the app itself a lot, the puzzles are challenging and fun, but the amount of ads is ridiculous. i can understand having an ad after a puzzle is done, and having the option to watch one to continue after you make enough mistakes or to get a hint, but having to watch an ad before i can start a new puzzle then being interrupted midway through to watch another is incredibly frustrating.

Too many ads. An add before AND after each puzzle, ads to get hints, ads to get other rewards, and if you choose NOT to watch an ad to get those rewards, guess what!? STILL MORE ADS! There are even ever-present banner ads at the bottom of the app. This app could have been 4 stars of there were fewer ads. Hell, I'd be willing to give it 5 stars, but the sheer volume of ads ruins the entire experience. And NO! It is not worth paying $5 USD to remove them.

Too many ads in all the wrong places. I know devs need some form of ads to support their work and fees, but they could really be spaced out better. I was overwhelmed with ads in my meer 20 minutes of playing. One after every puzzle and even some in the middle of a puzzle. Nothing like trying to solve a few words in a puzzle, only to be interrupted by an ad and forget my thought train. Wonderful game, but was ruined by ill placed ads. I was enjoying the fun before the ads got rampant. Uninstalled

Too many ads. 6 adds have shown up as "ad-breaks" in each level. Also, the quotes are not anything important. Just random phrases from irrelevant celebrities, and out of context lines from movies. Crashed on me 4 times this morning, probably from trying to load too many ads at once. Had to watch 2 ads after reopening ad before begining the next level. I'm fully up to date on updates.

The game itself is great, but the ads make it unplayable. I've never encountered an app with so many ads. There's an ad before you begin a level and if it takes you more than a minute complete, the level will be interrupted with an ad, and then when you finish a level, there's another ad. Then yet another ad before the next level begins. You spend 2-3 times as long watching ads as you do playing the game because most of them aren't skippable and you have to watch the full 45-60 seconds.

I very much enjoy this game because it helps me stay focused when I can't find something to do or just overthinking. BUT THE ADS! I got so sick of seeing them I ended up paying to have it removed which wasn't a big deal but there's just way too many before, during, and after a levels, during a 5mins period of me trying to figure out a quote I was given 7 ads and it was very annoying.

Ahhhhhh! This game is undeniably entertaining, with engaging gameplay and a delightful aesthetic. However, the excessive ads significantly disrupt the flow of the game, making it frustrating at times. If you can tolerate frequent ad interruptions, this app is worth checking out. Otherwise, you might want to look for an alternative with a less aggressive monetization strategy.

WARNING DONT PLAY THIS GAME UNLESS YOU LIKE WATCHING CONSTANT ADS! I like the game but... Amount of ads is ridiculous for a non paying game. I understand that's how they pay the developers but it's too much for one that doesn't pay to play. I get a few letters in and it goes to add break and I choose not to do an ad for extra points but still gives me one anyways. And another add to even start a game so constant ads and it's more than the paying apps make you watch which is very sad but true.

Not even worth the 1 Star! More like 0.5 or 0 Stars IMO!!!! Now I absolutely LOVE crypto games, but playing can be difficult when every 15-30 seconds a popup message app is not responding & asks do I want to close it or wait? Despite starting up was a lil longer than usual, playtime has no issues....well none except the annoying popup that can't be ignored, pick wait doesn't stop it. Even if app is running fine, popup doesn't stop until you're forced to select option to Close App! RIDICULOUS!

At first I enjoyed it now it's terrible. At first you started with a few letters given so you had to really work to get words, ads were minimal and the events were doable. Now almost all the letter are shown, half the puzzle is filled in from the start so there really isn't any puzzle to figure out, the ads are constant, events forget it I had one that said 1 day 20hrs left went in about 3 hrs later and it pops up event ended. No longer fun. Where's the puzzle it's basically just a fill it in.

I love these puzzles. This game is sometimes easy, sometimes challenging, but always fun. Definitely a game I recommend! After reading some of the other reviews, I feel the need to elaborate. Yes, I could do with less ads, but they do have the option to do away with ads. Also, I have had no problems with crashing or freezing. I am almost to level 100. As for filling in all the "L's" for example, when you figure out what number is L, where is the challenge in that? Great Job on this app!

There are more ads than gameplay. Start the game watch an ad, finish a game watch an ad (so yes 2 ads back to back if you start a second game) need a hint because they gave you not enough letters, ad. Made to many wrong choices, ad. Took to long looking at the screen, ad. You could easily have 20 ads or more for 1 level. It's ridiculous. There was also an "ad" that told you you needed a game update, but really it just lead you to a Christian reskin of this game to download. Would not suggest.

I already know how to do cryptograms, so the fact that there isn't a way to turn off the tutorial was already annoying. But then when I went to a different app and came back, THE TUTORIAL LITERALLY SOFTLOCKED THE APP. It keeps telling me to select the spot that's already filled in, and I can't select it, and nothing else is clickable. Even closing and reopening the app does nothing. I got to level 3 before the game became literally unplayable. Sayonara.

I enjoyed the game but sometimes I accidentally selected wrong characters. Also there's no pause; if you come out of a game challenge before it is completed and go back in, it's treated like a quit. That's really unfortunate for the long challenges. I feel obligated to complete the challenge without leaving. If a whole game is not completed within a day and you go back in, you can't finish it. A new game starts. That makes it much less fun.

It gets stuck on "hint" (I didn't ask for). Then I restarted the app 3 times before it would move to the next level. I couldn't reverse out of it and I tried various methods but it didn't work. when I was able to play after restarting and following "hint" prompts it was kind of a pain. You move the cursor with left right arrow. Then after all that it says it took me 6+ minutes to finish that simple level! I may try again if there are other variations but as of right now. ?

The game has been telling me frequently that I'm supposedly one of the top ten players in the game, but that's probably just a bait to get me to review the game. While it is addicting, there are way too many ads. I get it, you need ads in free games like these. But you've got one ad when you start, you got an ad everytime you finish with a letter, and you have to watch two separate ads once you actually finish it. And it's laggy. I got kicked several times while watching the ads. Fix this.

It's a good game with too many ads. When you tap to start the next level, ad. 20 seconds into the level, ad. You've placed 10 letters, ad. Finished the level? There is a choice to watch the ad for triple reward or just end and go to the next level. Choosing just to go to the next level has a 90% chance to start an ad, but you don't get the bonus. It might be my fingers, but sometimes, when trying to close the ad, it just takes you to the app store.

This is a fun game with just the right amount of challenge. My main critique is that you have to watch an ad or two after each level, then immediately watch another ad or two (2 part ads) when clicking to begin the next level. There are also "ad breaks" during the levels that disrupt concentration. if I have to watch 2-4 ads between levels, I'd really prefer not to have any during the levels.
