Knotwords reviewKnot perfect. Very good 4.5/5.
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.
AwesomeI’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.
KnotwordsI love the game, but it doesn’t keep the time, right
Love this gameSuper fun! Kudos to the developers and designers 👏
StatisticsHow does a 471 day, 13 month streak have 0 years completed?
Alternate Solution Feature RequestThe 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 UIThis 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 requestWhen the “alternate solution” message comes up, please give the option to hold to view the intended solution
KnotwordsFun 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 :)
Fun concept: too buggyI 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 ItThis 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 rightThis 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.
Fun game, challenging, no adsThe title says it all. Great game, great music, annoying animation, but hey! :)
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.
Superb!My absolute favorite game right now and best word game of all time
I love itThis is a great game. I play it every morning.

Mind challengeExcellent for the mind! Just enough to relax and stimulate.
So fun!Fun and appropriately challenging!
Beautiful little word puzzlesI 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.
😕
Update crashed my appLove this game. Super frustrated with the glitchiness of the app. I don’t want to re download in case I lose my progress.
Awesome game though!
Pretty coolThis game is pretty cool. I'd like more harder puzzles though.
SponsorI really like the game, it’s quirky and fun, but also challenging at the same time. My channel is Kodi Gamer With a Raccoon. I
will write a script. definitely a five star game
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.
AmazingOne of the best word games ever. Play it every day. I wish puzzles could be synced between devices. Other than that, perfection!
Perfect Word Game!No timers, no competition, just yourself and letters. Keeps you thinking without making you feel illiterate. I absolutely love
this game thank you.
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 wordsI 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 GameLove 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 gameI 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 issuesI 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 lifeKnotwords 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 madeThank 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 problemEven 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, butThe game doesn’t think “axes” is a valid word. It’s a great game, though.
just needs iCloud syncSuper great game. Buy it. but it really needs a way to sync results across iOS devices.
Don’t love the sub modelThe 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.
My new addictionThis game is amazing and really worth checking out. As others have said, it's become a part of my daily routine, along with
Wordle. I even get my family involved on particularly tricky scrambles.
Delightful word puzzlesThis is a great puzzle crossword game with a unique twist. I’m finding it great fun to solve.
Awesome !KenKen for words/letters. Well designed game
It respects your time!Puzzle game that respects your time! Daily challenges designed to keep you engaged, not to take advantage and swallow you up.
Great puzzles that rely on your logic with satisfying feedback when you’ve done something correctly or incorrectly.
Word Puzzles are Great!In the morning I start with solving the daily NYT Wordle. Throughout the day I do all three Knotwords daily puzzles. Every.
Single. Day.
Casual funI'm quite enjoying this game for a quick bit of fun now and again. I'd probably play more if game status synced between devices.
Great game just minor inconveniencesIt’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 stallsGreat 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.
UndoNo longer able to undo with ⌘ Z on Mac since 1.0.16. Urgh.
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.
really fun but ....i'm going through the archive and now that i've gone far enough back it crashes every few puzzles. otoh, since i remember most of
the puzzle it's a fast re-solve so new PRs.
Glitchy of lateSuper 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.
Latest update laggyLove 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.
ChallengingWhen 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 gameAfter 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.
Fun word game conceptBummer the navigation is so clunky (I can’t seem to swipe or single-tap several of the buttons to select them). But fun game
play once you get the hang of it
Weird wordsMaybe I caught it on a bad month but there were a LOT of nonsense words (‘ENS’ and ‘TADS’?). Nice interface and all but
not really a word puzzle game
Some hard wordsLate in the week there are some pretty frustrating words used.
$$$$$$$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.
FrustratingReally frustrating this so much of this game is behind a paywall, even the statistics feature.
Fun game, poorly executedAs 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.
