## Review summary

Users praise a one-time purchase model and ad-free experience, plus the ability to swap individual letters. However, recurring criticisms focus on intrusive ads and a paywall for features, along with concerns about repetitive word lists (plural forms and four-letter endings). Some appreciate quick bug fixes and added modes like CrossHex, but ads and paywall remain the main friction points.

### Pros

- One-time purchase / pay-once model (ownership without ongoing subs)
- Ad-free experience (no ads)
- Per-letter editing / swapping individual letters (no need to retype entire words)

### Cons

- Ads are intrusive and hard to close; users want an option to remove ads
- Paywall / paid features gating content (some features require purchases)
- Word list quality tends to rely on common pluralized or four-letter words (limited variety)
