User Reviews

Knotwords offers a highly engaging daily puzzle experience with three quick puzzles and long-running streaks, praised for brain-stimulating play and occasional rewarding stories. However, reviewers repeatedly cite core bugs (cursor/input issues and occasional data loss), concerns about the word list and clues (words not always valid or accurately defined), and a paywall after limited free plays. Other recurring worries include sparse app updates and maintenance, and some frustration with the UX. Overall, strong concept and addictive gameplay overshadowed by quality-control and monetization issues that hamper long-term satisfaction.

Pros

Three daily puzzles that are quick to complete (about 1–3 minutes) for daily mental workouts.
Long-term engagement with multi-year streaks and a highly addictive gameplay loop.
Puzzles reward you with hidden stories or thematic reveals as you solve.
No ads in the free version, offering a smooth, uninterrupted experience.
Adds value as a strong, enjoyable word puzzle idea (well-regarded among puzzle fans).

Cons

Cursor/input bugs (letters overwritten and misdirected word selection) that disrupt gameplay.
Progress losses: streaks or game state can disappear after crashes or bugs.
Word list quality/definitions are inconsistent or sometimes incorrect, with reliance on questionable sources.
Paywall after limited free puzzles; requiring purchase to continue is a major downside.
Lack of updates and maintenance concerns; not updated in a year, raising viability concerns.

Great app, I play this along with the NYT games, but on one of the days I put in the word ‘SLAVE’ and it came up in pink - meaning it’s not a word. Is this a mistake or is it some sort of woke narrative where they don’t accept words they don’t like even though they are in the English language. I assume it’s an error.
