## Review summary

Users find the app very useful and previously reliable for word games, but many report the recent update ruined the experience: relentless, long, unskippable ads (sometimes forcing login or audio), worse word-finding accuracy and fewer valid results, and crashes/compatibility problems. Several users are uninstalling or seeking alternatives.

### Pros

- Helpful for finding words and useful with word games (e.g., Words With Friends).
- Was reliable and well-liked by long‑time users prior to recent updates.
- Simple and convenient to use in quick play situations.

### Cons

- Extremely intrusive advertising since a recent update: full‑screen, frequent (every click), long/unskippable ads, and forced login/popups.
- Recent update introduced major regressions: crashes, Android compatibility issues, and loss of previous behavior.
- Degraded word results and coverage: fewer usable words, wrong suggestions, and failures with blanks (e.g., tab??).
- Forced autoplay/background music with no mute/opt‑out option.
