About this game

Gubbins is a friendly puzzle game where players place tiles to construct words, with the help and hindrance of wildcard modifiers called Gubbins.

Minimalist typography alongside kooky cartoons serve as a canvas for moreish wordplay. Dig through the draw pile and make words on the board with hilarious friends wreaking havoc.

Ratings and reviews

So peaceful and good for your brain! The basic point is to just make words using the letters in your draw pile, plus what the game adds to the board. Love the music, love the atmosphere, fun art, and gameplay. It's fun to collect new animated good and bad things that can influence your name, backgrounds, and so forth. A great, calm experience to have every day.

After a one time purchase you get unlimited play of one of the most fun and interesting games I've ever played with a cute art style and fun gameplay, but I do have two issue I have crashes pretty frequently, and I would like an option to continue to the menu after every game instead of saving a screenshot or having to close out entirely. I would rate it 5/5 if not for the issues previously stated, otherwise it is an amazing game.

Good word game with some issues. FYI, you do need to pay to unlock most modes. My main problem: Gubbins' dictionary doesn't line up with any commonly used word lists, and there is no way to look up words in-app. There are some valid words that just seem to be random strings, like "ghss". Many 2 and 3 letter words that are valid in NWL/CSW (Scrabble dicts) are not valid in Gubbins. Some proper nouns are okay, but not all. Same with acronyms. More transparency here would be helpful.
