This is a very fun and engaging game. It's great that you have three modes to play, each with a different difficulty. Asking for hints is vital on the hard mode. That said, you will run into a lot of stuff you won't know. It gets frustrating at those times, but you just get hints and move on. I've found the odd word I'd argue, but not often. It's a great feeling to solve a puzzle on hard without help!

When I play this game, I can feel my brain working . It's very stimulating, educational & addicting! I really enjoy this game, I gave it 3 stars cuz eventually you have to pay to play. You get 10 hints that go quick. Once you run out there is no way to earn any back & you have to pay for more. You start with a set of puzzles. If you complete the set, you have to buy more or there's nothing to play except a free daily puzzle.

I love the concept and the game is fun. However, the game crashes a ton. I noticed it especially after I buy a game pack. I have tried to contact them on more than one occasion. No reply. It is irritating to have to go back and find the last puzzle you complete. I usually don't do reviews but after reading other reviews about the same thing and Blue Ox not botherng to respond to those types of reviews it is obvious they don't care about their reputation or our game experiences.
