## Review summary

Reviews praise Cheats & Words as a top word-help app, especially after fixes, and for handling WWF variations. However, many repeat issues block reliable use: inconsistent word suggestions and scoring, board recognition failures from WWF updates, sticker/emoji previews, and occasional crashes or upgrade problems. Overall, users see improvement over time but reliability remains a key concern.

### Pros

- Frequently described as one of the best / favorite word‑assist apps.
- Has improved after updates; issues now fixed and it generally works great.
- Reads Words With Friends board variations more effectively than many alternatives.

### Cons

- Inconsistent word detection and scoring: words, tile placement, and point totals often wrong or off.
- WWF emoji/sticker updates interfere with reading the board, causing recognition failures unless workarounds are used.
- App can crash or stop reading boards after updates; reliability is a recurring problem.
- In-app purchases (no-ads upgrade) can cause the app to crash or not function.
