Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) Very interesting word puzzle, I like the concept of the game. You will be given a clue and bunch of words for you to piece it together. One thing thing I noticed was if I skipped the coins animation crediting to my account I will get lesser than 15 coins (which is the standard for competing a puzzle?). Overall it's simply a fun puzzle game but limited free puzzle pack to play. You could opt to purchase more puzzles pack. I really hope they could put more free content in the future :)

Put on your thinking cap! This game is as addictive as the developer states it is. The words are linked by a common clue, but sometimes the clue is given only by its first letter. The trick is to link letters in a crossword fashion to solve the puzzle. I'm on Puzzle Pack 1 at 2:45am, and it's so hard to put down. Great app!

Brain challenges This brings a new challenge every time you open the app. Unlike a crossword that gives you clues for each answer here you have to search your brain for multiple answers to a single clue. I love it.

Jeff Gordon

Both fun & challenging!!!! This, the other Bonza game, and a cup of coffee are always a nice way to get my brain in gear every morning. One suggestion would be to have an easy way to look up one of the words at the end of the game since there are often a couple I didn't know.

Not American No offense to Americans but some of the more popular word games I've tried require answers only an American would know. This one is just words, which i love. Very enjoyable.

Great Vocabulary Builder It's an interesting and addictive game for building vocabulary. However, in some levels the game stops responding after watching the free answer ad.

Bonza is the game for me! I enjoy the game in between appointments as it doesn't take too long to solve a puzzle. The free hints are worth watching an ad for on the trickier puzzles. Vocabulary expanding and mentally stimulating!

A Great Time Playing this game, I constantly find myself smiling every time I finish a puzzle. It's the sort of game where the eureka moments are always sweet, no matter how hard or easy the puzzle.

Amanda Johnston August 11, 2016

My drunk game My and my friend always end up playing this when we're drinking. Drunk or sober I always rock at it, but hee surprisingly gets better when he's wasted.

Beth Hewitt August 19, 2016

So happy! I had been playing another game very similar to this one and finished it, and I'm so glad I was able to find this one because they're really so much fun. They did start off really easy, but got harder as I went along.

Cassandra Boone September 26, 2016

I love this game, unfortunately it's getting uninstalled. If there was a flat purchase price for this game I would definately buy it, but I finished the free puzzles quickly and just can't see paying a few dollars a day for these puzzles. I like the option of watching ads in exchange for hints, however there aren't enough options to earn coins to purchase puzzles with and the free daily puzzle isn't enough to justify keeping this around on my phone-so unfortunately, good bye bonza.

Samantha Butler August 18, 2016

Free puzzle every day and tons of puzzles to choose from with points earned by playing and/or watching short ads. Really awesome. It's nice to have a game that doesn't demand my constant full attention but still provides hours of entertainment when I have time to play.

Eva-Lynne Leibman August 27, 2016

A thinking game I like the variety. Some simple and some extremely difficult. A few impossible. Fun and challenging.

Kathy Harris September 24, 2016

Just one suggestion I really enjoy this fun, challenging game. My one suggestion is to make the free daily puzzle available for a few days (maybe 3?). Some days I'm too busy and can't get to the daily game. That would give it 5 stars for me.

Brenda Kelly August 22, 2016

Played the first 4 starter rounds on my lunch break! Puts a whole spin on crosswords! I'm in Love!

GAMER ID?? Just got a replacement S6 Active and installed Bonza as I have been using and enjoying it for some time. Cannot, now, boot the game without getting a "GAMER ID" from Google. If I don't want one how can I play the game?

Ron Lowicki August 31, 2016

Bonza Since the last update, it doesn't give you any bonus coins after watching the video trailer after solving the puzzle.

Neil Burke September 10, 2016

Not bad at all! It's fun and helps pass the time. Kind of addictive actually. I know there have to be ads so it can be a free game, but there are lots of ads in this game. Does there have to be so many?

benjamin costantino August 3, 2016

We are all mad here! I'm going to be late

Amee Abel September 3, 2016

Fun word game. Never tried connecting with others, but enjoy the game solo.

David Lightner August 30, 2016

Can't Stop Played until I went blind from looking at my screen for too long.

August 20, 2016

Great timekiller Not as challenging as a true crossword puzzle, but still an amazing app that keeps me coming back for more every day. My wife is hooked too.

Lee Eighmy August 18, 2016

Good but too easy Send like it takes forever to wade through ridiculously easy puzzles to get to more challenging ones without spending $$$. But the harder ones are worth it.

Gary Inglish September 9, 2016

No more bonus coins App stopped showing animated bonus coins for watching ad after finishing puzzle.

Stephen Sarratt August 5, 2016

Only word game I play I've never been much for word games but I really enjoy this.

August 31, 2016

Downloaded twice now on Samsung S5 .. won't load 😕 Bonza Nat Geo is fine ... conflict?

CB Usher September 2, 2016

Daddy B Have Gets the brain working. Sometimes infuriating and frustrating but worth it

Justin Orser August 27, 2016

Great break time unwinder. Free daily puzzles and almost 3 years worth of puzzles to unlock. Can't go wrong.

Dave Kelly September 19, 2016

Brain candy! Superb exercise for the mind! Some puzzles are tougher than others, all are quite fun! Great as a challenge, or simply to chill...

Chris Missel August 26, 2016

I find the game quite puzzling!

No Clue August 9, 2016

Amazing game. There are clever solutions to each puzzle, and it constantly tests my knowledge in each category. Great game for puzzle lovers!

Kathy B September 17, 2016

Very addictive! A real thinking game. So much fun that I'm going to have to pace myself.

Georgina Morley September 3, 2016
