Love this game - a challenge!

I found this game randomly when I tried Apple Arcade for a few months. This was the only game I kept coming back to. I love simple
the design is and that it challenges me. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome

I’m always on the lookout for a new word puzzles that aren’t a rehash of the same themes that I see from most of the recent
offerings. I’m a big fan of this team, and they have done it again. Finally, a new word game that actually hard and fun and
thought-provoking. Kudos. Great job.

Alternate Solution Feature Request

The game is an excellent combination of vocabulary and logic challenges. I often solve it with an “alternate solution“. I
would like to know which words of my solution differed from the official solution. Could you highlight the words and give us a way
to rework them?

Good game with flawed UI

This game has many good qualities. I don’t even mind the dubious plurals. But I play on an iPad with keyboard, and the logic
of the movement of the cursor after filling in a square is just infuriating! I still play it every day, but I always wind up
cursing the UI.

Great game, one request

When the “alternate solution” message comes up, please give the option to hold to view the intended solution

Fun and challenging but the big daily puzzle is so complicated that it is frustrating and takes too Ling to complete. The smaller
puzzles are great, though.

July 1 unsolvable :(

My 169 day streak will be over because 7/1 daily mini can’t he solved :( I think you want it to be khaki? But that won’t work
with top row across. First time I’ve ever used hints, and it wouldn’t even give me a hint for that word.

Different word now….?
But it worked :)

Why force update?

Fun concept: too buggy

I have really enjoyed playing this game since it first came out. However, there are frequent pauses (some multiple seconds long)
for absolutely no reason. So I can’t give it the 5 stars that the concept deserves.

Worth It

This is one of my favorite word games. It is unobtrusive. It doesn’t punish you for taking a break. It gets harder as the week
progresses. And when you have the itch or nothing else to do, there are 60 monthly puzzles!

Does everything right

This app is simple and awesome. It's a fun game with a bit of a challenge. It doesn't intrude, it doesn't make you angry. It's
just a fun game to play once a day and share with your friends. One of the very few apps I actually have reviewed—and
positively, no less. Good work.

If you like Wordle, you will love this app.

This app has everything you want in word puzzles. There are 3 choices every and they progress in difficulty daily until Sunday’s
super challenge.

Beautiful little word puzzles

I already knew Zach Gage’s work from TypeShift, which I play daily. This one is even better. A big vocabulary is essential, as
for all word puzzles, but logic also plays a part. Bravo!

It's great except...

It makes me feel super dumb when I struggle for minutes only to realize I had to transpose two letters to fix the whole puzzle.
Please fix the game to make me less stupid, thank you!

Where is the archive?

I love the game, and I paid for the full version which said it included access to the archive. But I can’t find it in the menu.

Nice game!

Innovative and fun for word game lovers. Two minor quibbles: backspacing is confusing. And I wish progress would sync to cloud, so
I can play on either my iPhone or iPad. I never have a streak because I play on different devices.

Fun game, but score tracking is hard!

I love whenever I get a new best time for any given weekday, but there’s no way to check what my best time is!
Would be a simple addition I think, and would make the game a bit more competitive and fun for me

Not sure of some words

I just did a puzzle from the October puzzlebooks. Is “hided” a word??? I know the past tense of hide is hid. Unless
“hided” has something to do with animal hides? Just my two cents.

Cool Game

Love everything about the game. Wish when I click into the game there was a back button to get home. I don’t like how I have to
double click the date to start the puzzle. Otherwise it’s good.

Best word game

I could play this forever. It takes best parts of a jumble and a crossword and makes for a super fun game. Every Zach Gage game is
a blast and beautiful to look at. Thanks!!!

Good vibes (literally)

This game is really fun as a word game, but really makes it stand out, in my opinion, is the vibration design built into every
action you do. It makes everything you do feel rewarding in a tactile way that phone games typically lack. Kudos to the devs for
that.

Great but…

I keep losing hints from the puzzle book even though I didn’t use them. I would finish the day with 6/6 and then next day it’s
at 4 for some reason.

If this bug is fixed I’m happy to add a star

Great concept, a few issues

I love the concept and core gameplay, but many of the puzzles use words that are a little too obscure. I don’t find these words
in any regular dictionary and can only find the solution by taking random guesses when nothing else fits into the final squares.
Lovely game otherwise.

Completely replaced Wordle in my life

Knotwords scratches the same itch as Wordle, but is way more fun and variable. I paid for the license and the extra puzzles are
worth it. Plus they deserve the support.

How a free game should be made

Thank you for designing a game with a free mode that doesn’t rely on ads and is fully playable. I haven’t purchased it yet
but the price is very fair. Hopefully others will be inspired to do the same.

The game it’s self is a lot of fun. I also love the clean UI/graphics.

Excellent game - just one problem

Even with the music turned off and bkg. animation turned off, it still runs down the battery and heats up the iPhone. I have no
idea what it’s doing, so too paranoid to use the program. Comparable games like Wordle and crosswords do not do this.

I don’t know how else to tell you this, but

The game doesn’t think “axes” is a valid word. It’s a great game, though.

Don’t love the sub model

The game itself is five stars and above! I wish the subscription model was different, but I paid the once time fee and it was
totally worth it.

Wordle. I even get my family involved on particularly tricky scrambles.

Great game just minor inconveniences

It’s a great game, filled with challenging puzzles but not impossible to solve. The only flaw is the inconvenience of changing a
letter. A difference in color when highlighting a box would be easier to know which box we’re in.

Crashes and stalls

Great game. Fun. Unique.
But constantly lags, stalls and sometimes outright crashes. I’ve been playing through it but the crashes are becoming more
frequent. Can’t imagine a word game is too much for my phone.

Good Game!!!

Beautifully developed game. Only squabble and why I can’t give it 5 stars is because there isn’t any continuity between
devices. I primarily play on my iPad, but when I want to play on my phone I’m starting from the beginning and I just don’t
bother.

the puzzle it's a fast re-solve so new PRs.

Glitchy of late

Super fun, but in the last month or so it has become very glitchy. Lags in loading, double clicks etc. game is still playable but
the smoothness in screen transitions has been lost.

Love this app but most recent update affected performance. Laggy to start a puzzle and often freezes for a second or two randomly.
Hope a future update fixes it soon.

Challenging

When I started playing I really enjoy the challenges of this word game. But when you get to level 10 you have to subscribe. Which
of course I’m leery about spending money on games. But then again nothing is for free.
I’m glad the daily challenges are available. Plus ad free is nice too!!

Still warming to the game

After the recent update I can’t select the 10th free game in the monthly collection.

I had a game that appeared solved but the game wouldn’t acknowledge it and there was no way to escape short of force killing the
app.

$$$$$$$

Great game… but the pricing they’re asking for is absurd. I would understand puzzle packs for a price, but this is not a game
that should ever require a monthly/yearly subscription.

Fun game, poorly executed

As with others here, I find the logic of cursor next placement irritating. I considered buying, but decided that it rewards poor
execution. Look forward to a more refined game in the near future that leave me sated without any irritation.
