Cons

Subscription and billing issues (cancellation/renewal, trial cancellation)
Streaks and progress do not sync across devices via Google Play
Bugs and reliability problems affecting gameplay (glitches, navigation quirks, occasional restart issues)
No archive or easy access to past puzzles / content behind a paywall
Monetization concerns (perceived high cost for extended content)

Fun game, however I do want to nitpick for a second. Some of the definitions they give you as hints are absolutely useless. For example: a word was "emails", which of course is a word we all know. However, the definition they gave in the app was some sort of obsolete definition that absolutely no one would know. It even says "obsolete" if you go to the source they pull from. There's numerous examples of this. So I find that frustrating. Otherwise, very fun.

Very good and challenging game. Very recommended. I've only installed it a day ago and completed eight daily games. I've yet to see any ads but they may come...? Just when you think it impossible to solve, poof, you'll get it. Making it a worthwhile challenge.

Free version gives you two whole knotwords puzzles a day. Two. I personally average 3 minutes total to complete them both. Yes you get another 10 games per month... Still not nearly enough puzzles. you're completely locked out of any other options unless you pay for them. it's such a blatant cash grab, it's almost insulting that they list this as a free game at all. It's an interesting concept, and that's the only reason it's not a 1 star. but I absolutely would NOT recommend.
