User Reviews

Users praise the puzzle variety and enjoyment, but repeatedly report monetization and reliability problems: most content behind a paywall, frequent bugs and instability, heavy battery use, and account/subscription issues after device changes with limited support.

Pros

Large library of puzzles and games with strong variety.
Fun, engaging, and creative puzzle gameplay.
Positive overall sentiment about the puzzles and enjoyment.

Cons

Paywalls and subscription requirements block much of the content and cause access issues after device changes.
Frequent bugs, crashes, and intermittent loading problems.
Significant battery drain and overheating during play.
Account/subscription problems after switching devices and weak support for restores.

It's ok. But it's very very very American. I'm on a free trial, no way I'll pay for this. I mean, Ricechex? Really,come on NYT, use real English and not made up American food names. I like wordle but that's it.

Stop the bs where the subscription button pops up a second later below the play button. I know what the app is trying to do, trying to make me "accidentally" navigate to the subscription page. It's funny the first time but it's infuriating when I'm just trying to unwind and do a quick wordle on my down time. Seriously, stop doing this.
