User Reviews

Players enjoy the core word game and social play, especially for building vocabulary, but reviews repeatedly flag intrusive ads after each move that are hard to close and sometimes open browsers. The ad-free option is viewed as overpriced, and several technical/UI issues (lag, sync failures, ads obscuring the scoreboard) worsen the experience. Some users dislike changes like the chat feature and new-player prompts, and there are occasional concerns about word validity. Overall, ads dominate the user experience despite strong game fundamentals.

Pros

Engaging word game that’s fun to play with friends
Educational value for English vocabulary
Solid core gameplay and high overall quality compared to competitors
Overall positive reception of the game itself despite ads
Good social/interaction aspects for playing with others

Cons

Excessive, intrusive ads after every move that are hard to close or redirect to browsers
Ad-free version is overpriced and prices are perceived to be rising
Technical and UI issues like lag, sticking, and synchronization failures; ads can cover the scoreboard or disrupt gameplay
Unfavorable changes such as the chat feature and new-player prompts that some users dislike
Dictionaries/word-validation disputes and concerns about word accuracy

Recent reviews

I’ve always enjoyed this app but now the problem is ads start playing while you’re in the middle of putting tiles down to spell a word. It’s extremely annoying and you have to contact Zynga to complain and it is taking too long to fix the problem.

The free version with ads is getting worse and worse. Now we are receiving notices (that are really ads) that say my phone is infected with a virus. Please stop these terrible false ads I just shut my phone down four times, but the ad would not go away. I’m ready to give up this game. Unable to pls tonight
