Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Word Connect is the quintessential 'modern classic' of the mobile word-puzzle genre. It takes the familiar thrill of an anagram solver and wraps it in a satisfying progression system. The genius is in the 'Extra Words' mechanic—it rewards players for being more clever than the level requires, which provides a nice dopamine hit for those with expansive vocabularies.
The tactile feel of sliding your finger to connect letters is incredibly smooth. While the early levels are admittedly easy, the game scales beautifully, eventually presenting combinations that will stump even seasoned logophiles. It’s an excellent brain-trainer that functions perfectly in short bursts, making it the ideal companion for waiting rooms or commutes.

Great game
Mon Feb 17 2020 l.j.t.n.m.mI have had this game for years now and I really enjoy it but I don’t play it everyday like I used to. When I first got the game, it was different in several ways. You used to be able to choose which difficulty you wanted to play at and now it just progresses the lore you play which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. At first I didn’t like it so much but I’ve gotten used to it. The daily bonuses used to be bigger and, if I remember correctly, you used to be able to buy hints for cheaper (not having to use as many coins). As I stated before, I used to play the game everyday until I tried to restore it on my new phone and lost all of my progress. This could’ve been because they made changes during the time I was switching my phone over, or because you just can’t restore your progress after having to re download the game. Either way it was pretty annoying. But I just started over again with the new version of the game and have already bypassed where I was before. I do wish that the daily challenges offered a varied reward, rather than a set one, because you supposedly get more points for finding longer words, but there is nothing to reflect that. Other than that, I still enjoy the game. I’m a word puzzle lover so it’s perfect for me while I have some down time. One thing I just wanted to add is that by doing the little challenges and events they have, which I guess is to make the game more exciting and eventful, you win certain rewards and it’s nice. But recently I won two free hints which I haven’t used but now for some reason they’re not longer there. The hints cost 120 coins each which is no big deal because I have plenty of coins, but it’s a little annoying that they were there and now they’re not.
It’s okay for me
Wed Dec 27 2017 Unmatched SoxThe game keeps me occupied when I need a distraction. It does however need a few ‘bugs’ worked out and changes that I would make were it my game to change. It’s very annoying when you have tried a word several times already that don’t seem to be correct but when you decide once more because your brain dead and out of options...it’s the very word that works. That’s the ‘bug’ or glitch that I was referring to. As for the changes; either change the daily challenge where it states you can or will win a huge bonus. It’s small and limited. Why state a point system for the length of each word on the daily bonus? You don’t receive said points for those words, you only receive 10/20 points. It’s a disappointment and misleading. Why bother to strive for the best points when the lesser counts as the same? Now, I understand that this game is for ages 4 and up so the review that I read complaining about it not being challenging enough, just find something else and move on. Not everyone is going to at the same levels. However, I played long enough that the game did ask if I was ready for more challenging puzzles. I’m an intelligent person who now has some issues with losing words as I am speaking. I can’t remember even what to say when trying to talk about the sofa so I’ll just explain what I’m talking about until my brain finds the word sofa again.( just an example) so this new chapter is great and hopefully helping me.
It’s a Bug, Not a Feature.
Thu Nov 19 2020 CzarinaZI gave you 4 stars because I don’t play games at all except this one and have been playing Word Connect for what feels like forever. As I’m clearly addicted, I feel it would be unfair to give it less than 4. However, you guys drive me crazy. It’s not the gameplay; which is seamless on my iPhone. It’s not the repetition; which is annoying but I play so much it has to be expected. It’s not that, for the most part, it’s not challenging; you have to appeal to a wide range of players, not just English majors. Here’s the thing: It’s the inanely frustrating refusal to allow normal, everyday words to be accepted! I know you know this as it’s too obvious and others must have complained. It almost ruins the game for me. I sit down to relax and play, try to make the word FIG, have it rejected, curse at my phone, and know it’s going to be one of those days. Then, one game out of 20 or so, FIG “is” a valid word - meaning I have to try it the other 19 failed times. I hate this! RIG is a word, FIG isn’t (except when it is). TIN is a word, GIN isn’t (except when it is). CUE is a word, HUE isn’t - most of the time. EGAD is sometimes a word; sometimes not. There are scores and scores of everyday words that this annoyance pertains to. Not “sensitive” words, not proper names, just English words. It wouldn’t cost you a hair off your heads or one dollar to change this. I don’t say “fix” this because I’m sure it’s intentional for some bizarre reason. But make your good game an even better one by applying consistency.
Used to be good, now it’s trash
Sat Sep 07 2019 RovioSux4608723So very frustrated. I very rarely write reviews, but I was compelled to voice my disappointment over the decline of this game. I’ve been playing it daily for years now, and the last several updates from the devs has destroyed it. I have never spent money on this app, but there are too many bugs to make any in app purchase worthwhile for anyone. The inconsistency from level to level and week to week is infuriating. Words that counted as bonus words two weeks ago did not count last week, but are back this week. Words that are definitely real words do not count on certain levels, but are accepted on other levels. A very select few plural words will count, so if they are going to accept a few plural words, shouldn’t ALL words in their plural form be accepted? Not sure what dictionary they’re using, but I’ve had to consistently send “missing word reports” in the game at least 3 or 4 times per level! Players shouldn’t have to be the ones sending countless notifications to fix the errors in a game, and I have seen no improvement in months. There are now also several outlandish, abbreviated, and seemingly made up words in most of the higher levels for which the in-game dictionary doesn’t even have a definition! Thankfully, I had my fill of fun with this game from when it was new to about 4 months ago and I never had to spend a dime. Now that it’s garbage, time to let it go. Deleting and finding something new. Two stars just because it used to be a very fun game before it was ruined.
Pros & Cons
Sun Jun 25 2023 shoejunkie72PROS: I love this game. I’ve had it since it first came about. I’ve played it so much that I run out of new levels each time and have to wait for the next update to get more levels. I like the contests and challenges. This game is fun, and keeps your mind active in a good way. Once you get used to odd words (this game is global, after all), it is addictive. CONS: it won’t accept some words that work in the spots. I’ve had it reject 3 viable words in a single round, same letter amount. Spelling was correct. And on the weekend challenge (Friday night through Sunday night)…. I swear some weeks it is rigged. Like now. I was really working on it. I was in first place, & was 1,500 points ahead of the next player. In 10 minutes’ time, the player behind me was 300 points Ahead of me? Impossible. They would have had to gain 1,800 points in Ten minutes! That is not possible. If we are all playing the same challenge with the same words on the same levels, it just isn’t possible for a person to go that fast. That is why I am giving only 4 stars instead of 5. Great game, and I’m a good sport. But they need to at least make the contest believable.
Poor /nonexistent support - repetitive puzzles, slang and nonsense words
Sat Jan 28 2023 QA SenseiI have been playing this game for years now and it is still infuriating that there is no real support from development while you are constantly (several times per session) asked it you love the game. In a word, NO!!! You’d think that repeatedly selecting No would send the message - but it appears to fall on deaf ears, as to do suggestions for improvements, complaints about misspelled words, missing words, too obscure/difficult words, etc. One of the most infuriating things is that the likelihood that you will run into one of these idiotic words increases exponentially when you get to the last solution in a puzzle. When you do, you will have to pay with you in game coin for clues or use up your earned clues to expose the idiotic/wrong/nonsensical words as a solution. —— Adding insult to the injury, at that point you cannot provide feedback to point out the problem... Truly Brain Dead programming. Adding to the frustration are frequency of reused puzzles (sets of letters and word solutions - including bogus words) and the inconsistency in adhering to any style guide for allowable words (slang, proper names, misspelled, increasing reliance on foreign language and archaic words and rare scientific terms - amongst other completely nonsensical words that appear in no known dictionary and cannot even be found in an internet search. I wish I could recommend this game - but with absent development or support staff, and the obvious lack of quality control - I cannot!
Disappointed, not as advertised
Fri Sep 21 2018 MochaMinxIf the game that downloaded for me is what someone is looking for, then it’s a nice job of it, thus my middle-mark rating. But I downloaded this game from seeing an ad in another game... I’m on level 30 and still haven’t seen anything at all like what interested me from the ad. I’ve looked all over, and I don’t even have that orange puzzle option icon on Home screen (the pic shown in the App Store here has it, but it’s not on my game). I even saw the same ad for itself while playing this game, so I tried clicking to install, thinking maybe I somehow got the wrong version... nope, it said I already had the game from the ad. I’ve also already checked for updates and there are none. I wanted to play the scrolling word hunt game from the ad. Instead, I only have another version of a game I already had. Maybe puzzle modes unlock at some higher level?? If so, it should be mentioned, as I’m not interested in playing on and on hoping that maybe the next level will finally get me into the game I thought I downloaded. Again, nice execution for a simple Boggle-type word making game, if that is what you are after. I’m just still looking for the fun, but different, scrolling word search game I saw advertised.
This game annoys me
Thu Aug 04 2022 SteelersGal4Ever**EDIT** I am now beyond ticked off at the developers of this game. Do they not have access to a dictionary on their internet? Why do they not accept perfectly good, NORMAL words that other apps do? Just… WHY? Yes. I did rant about this below, but as I am sitting here waiting some place and decided to play a game, and it tossed out so darn many everyday words I thought my eyes would cross, I had had it. I have played games where I had upwards of THIRTY extra words! I love word games… when they let you use words that YOU know are *real* and are in every dictionary or thesauruses l but the one the developers used to create this game. I’m tired of basically having a warning buzzer beep me and say “WRONG! THAT’S NOT A WORD!” when I know it darn well is. The other annoyance is when I put a word in and the game says “NOPE!” but later, after using points for clues… what word(s) should fill in those blanks but the ones I was told “NOPE!” about? Yeahhhhhh… you guessed it. Ticks me off every time, and it just happened so I’m doing this review… which I pretty much never do, but it’s the principle of the thing. All my other *word games* accept all “real words” and their plurals. This one does not. Why, I wonder? Feeling cranky, might delete.
