Review summary

Catagrams is praised as a relaxing, cat-themed word puzzle with hand-drawn art and a cozy vibe. Players love the adjustable difficulty, lack of a timer, and the clever thread mechanics that guide letters. The game combines charming visuals and ambient music with a thoughtful monetization model that supports a rescue, while keeping ads minimal or optional. The ability to choose how many words and letters to use, plus endless and harder word modes, keeps the puzzles fresh for players who enjoy crossword-style challenges.

Pros

Relaxing and calming word-puzzle experience with cute, hand-drawn cat art.
Highly adjustable difficulty and puzzle settings, with no timer.
Unique rope/thread mechanic that guides letters, adding a clever twist to word building.
Charming visuals and soothing ambient music with minimal intrusive ads.
Fair, supporter-friendly monetization that helps a rescue and offers optional unlocks (endless mode, ad removal).

2026-06-29	Ev*****	I increased my privacy settings and now this app gets stuck on the loading screen. Update: I tell you the app doesn’t load and you tell me to use a menu in the app? Is there any actual intelligence on the App Store or is it all slop now?

2026-05-02	Al*****	I love this app! Just found this, and I love the puzzles and being able to set the difficulty. If you like crosswords and word games, this is the game for you! Totally worth the purchase too, supports a great cause!

2026-04-24	Ve*****	What a FUN surprise! It’s a little like scrabble or any anagram game but with ropes to guide your board. All yellow ropes go together but one of the yellow ropes will have another rope leading in the opposite direction. Words can’t touch so you may need to rethink where you put the E in swEatEr. The mechanics are helpful so a long press will let you move a word or a group all at once. Very handy when the word you begin with needs to move towards the top of the game board. As you move the board will ‘step back’ (idk, technical term) and more rows and columns are exposed. You don’t usually need them but it’s a cool feature. I haven’t tried HARD words yet but you have that option. And you can choose how many words are on the board, and up to how many letters. For now, 4/24/26, 7 is the max and I usually set mine on 7 and 7. I haven’t played such a new and challenging game in ages. Try it!

2026-04-05	WR*****	What a great game! So glad I found this! It’s relaxing, and yet because you can adjust the difficulty, it can be very challenging if you want it to be. But you can take your time with each puzzle, so it’s not stressful. I love the art design. And the UI is very intuitive. You can adjust all settings. It’s good on battery too and the file size isn’t huge thankfully. I immediately paid for the Treat Package to get everything in the store (especially endless mode), get rid of ads and support the developer. Plus you get unlimited hints if needed. I appreciate the fair monetizing. You don’t have to buy anything, or you can buy just a couple things if you want, but the full unlock is fair, so I was happy to do it for a good word game. Thank you, developers! This is the word game I’ve been looking for. The cats make it all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend this game!

2026-02-21	Ov*****	The game is very cute and relaxing and the puzzles are fun. No major intrusive ads like most mobile games which actually made me more happy to support the developer by purchasing everything (and it helps a rescue!). Keep up the good work!

2025-10-04	Am*****	I love this app! It requires thought without adding stress to your already-crushing day. I love the cats, the challenge, the options to turn music on or off and personalize how hard you want the words to be. The atmosphere is comforting. Excellent game!
