Playing on an iPad mini five. Upgraded to the current OS in the last two or three days different features have shown up like this little shield but when I try to do a spin, it just won’t happen. The game is also gotten laggy and unresponsive in general, I was enjoying it before now I’m ready to give up. The apples support Link in the App Store. Just takes you to a developer page with no real to indicate which game or do a bug report. Ready to delete it and play other games. Too bad I was already in Lichtenstein and was well under 2% in terms of how many people had solved this puzzle. It was a good game. Sigh You guys really need a better bug reporting system for arcade games. Disappointed.Ok it is better now. I still think I need a better way to report bugs than to do a one star review in the App Store. I looked and looked and couldn’t find a clear path to that so that’s why I did the review. I also think better how to play information should be there. Why do I care about my streak? We now have a little streak shield I can buy for 25 coins, but why bother? It took me a while to figure out how the daily game worked. More how it works and what’s the reward information would be really nice to see. Also are there leader boards for this thing? I don’t have any friends that play but maybe that would be a reason why I would care about my streak.I’m really glad it functions again so you you’re getting four stars but not five.

There are many words that doesn’t have in its dictionary or vocabulary. Example: “Satins” is a word! And it doesn’t include names of “most” cities, countries, or rivers etc.. It will allow “can’t” without the apostrophe. But not “it’s” or most other words that use apostrophes. And it reuses words very repeatedly. Maybe it’s for a reason. They definitely need to expand their knowledge and word base. I believe that I’m almost to level 2700, and the puzzles got a lot fewer words to complete. Also after you get to a certain level it jumps from getting bonus tokens every 20 puzzles to 40! I believe after level 200. You have to be a psychic to predict the owl bones puzzles to earn stars and very few coins! Example: they use a bunch of random 4 letter words and half of them have the same last letter or first letter! And you have to guess which one goes where in the order they pick randomly with an owl jumping around! BTW “danish” is a word but for some reason it won’t allow me to use it!

Yesterday I updated to the latest version of the game (1.8.2), and now the game won’t open on my iPad anymore. When I try to open the game, an empty black screen displays for a split-second then minimizes - it doesn’t even make it as far as the Apple Arcade logo. The App Store page still lists my device as compatible, and I’ve tried closing every other app and restarting my device. I had been enjoying playing daily up until now, so I tried switching to an older version installed on a different iOS device under the same account, but the game does not fully sync. The second device shows the correct level and coins balance, but does not have my hints balance (should be over 470) or reflect that I have earned all the badges (the second device shows Knowledge Score Earned, Countries Traveled and Words Made in a Streak as earned, but shows Unique Words Found, Days Played in a Row and Dr. Hoot’s Puzzles Solved as unearned).Before the update, this was a four-star game for me. Mostly enjoyable, but with some repetitiveness in puzzle word choices and the occasional annoyance of random common words missing from the dictionary.

I’m now on my 31st country in this game. A few countries back the new country pictures went away. The pics in that circle when it shows you the new country you’ve made it to. Glitch or just lazy developers? Each country is 20 levels at this point in the game (and rewards are the same). Scrolling up I see that they’ve increased yet again the number of levels per country. Hahaha. I agree with one of the other reviewers when he suspected that the game developers are lazy and simply added more levels to wear the participant down, in hopes that they will just quit. There is FAR TOO LITTLE REWARD. I enjoy finding words (although plenty of words are missing from this game), but if you’re going to increase the time it takes to advance, INCREASE the REWARD! This is basic 101 gamesmanship common sense. I’m about to delete this game for the simple fact that these developers seem to be incredibly lazy. This version existing on the arcade is probably simply advertisement for their version outside of the apple arcade where they flood the user with adds and sales pitches.
