Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

80/100

Word Trip is a refreshing take on the word-connect genre that pairs vocabulary challenges with a global travel theme. The gameplay is straightforward: swipe to connect letters and form words that fit into a crossword-style grid. It starts off deceptively simple, but as you travel from country to country, the puzzles become genuine brain-teasers that require a solid grasp of the English language.

The visual presentation is what sets it apart. Each level pack is themed after a beautiful location, making the grind for coins and extra words feel like a relaxing journey rather than a chore. It’s a great 'coffee break' game—easy to pick up for five minutes but deep enough to keep you engaged for an hour.

Word trip
Mon Dec 16 2024 Earthburr

I enjoy the challenge of finding the words in the letters, particularly without time pressure so I can come and go at my pace. I didn’t know how long I would stay with it, but I have continued to enjoy it. I have now gotten far enough that I’m solving puzzles that less than 0.1% of players get to. The letter hints are helpful, letting me know where to start unscrambling. For a long time, out of pride and truculence, I resisted paying for them and just played using a separate word-unscrambler app. After a while, though, that felt like too much help; I wanted to look for the word myself. I have a few complaints. One, there are a lot of words they don’t use that they could use, that are more interesting than the common words the app allows. The same small words show up all the time, so they can get boring. If I’ve been playing the game for too long, it can be frustrating and annoying when I can’t see even the common words. One other complaint is that the words of encouragement that come up when you finish a puzzle are pretty limited. I expected more variety and more interesting unusual words. One early on was misspelled — that was pretty funny for a word-based app. All in all, if you like messing about with words, this is an engrossing game, without too many errors. When the dumb ads come on, you can just put the phone down.

Suggestions to consider…

GREAT GAME!! One of the BEST in my arsenal of “brain games” that I enjoy working on EVERY DAY! Please fix this screen so we can do what you ask and “Tap a Star to Rate”. I’ve tried several times with my stylus and fingertip to no avail. While you’re at it, see if you can make the rating stars stand out a bit so we can see them. They’re very difficult to notice. Just trying to help by giving you feedback… Hopefully, implementing my suggestions will give you more feedback from your users. Thank you! Have a great week! -K. Moran Thanks for implementing my suggestions SO QUICKLY! I’m astonished that someone there actually read my review, saw that it had merit, and made the changes! I hope you’ve gotten a bit more feedback as a result… -K. Moran Don’t know what your problem is, but you’ve reverted back to the old, nonworking “Edit Review” screen. I don’t feel like rewriting the same suggestions to you. I was giving you some great suggestions to improve the frequency of your feedback… Just reread my first letter. -K. Moran

Great game but....
Mon Nov 23 2020 Golf Di

This is a truly fun game and I just noticed the dictionary which adds to the fun. There have been a few words that I thought were names and I wished I had found the dictionary sooner. I love getting credit for bonus words which make me work harder to find the “right” that they want you to find. However, only rated it four stars because the ads are overly frequent and obnoxiously long! I would buy the game but it’s ridiculously expensive. I will just put up with them until I tire of the game. But I will admit there hasn’t been a game that captured my interest like this one for quite some time. It is very addictive but again $50 a year is ludicrous for a game. I can put up with the ads for that price. Addendum: I’ve been playing this game since February now and got my husband on to it as well. He’s a bigger game but than I am. However, I’ve now had an ad lock up my game totally 2-3 times now which is very annoying and bothersome. I’ve been troubled the number of ads at times but aside from that they didn’t bother me. Until they lock up the game! This most recent one is the McLaren of Palm Beach ad. It’s a video that doesn’t play and I now can’t make it go away either!! So no more game! It’s infuriating to say the least. I’ve enjoyed the game but could make better use of my time if it’s going to keep locking up. What can I do?

Too frustrating
Mon Feb 08 2021 Mountairy

As an older adult I often look for new word games to keep the brain going, and the ad for this one seemed to have a different twist. i downloaded it, and just as with many apps before, the ad for the game is misleading because it does not play as advertised. I decided to try it anyway. Initially the game was okay, but then the ads began. Do not get me wrong...I get the ads and why they are used. You need money and it keeps the game free. We all have heard this before. But for a game that only costs a buck to clear the ads, you certainly use a lot of ads to cover that dollar. As a rule I do not pay for games unless I find it to be a classic, well designed, true to the game app. Once it is full of prizes and gimmicks, I am rarely interested. This game lost me with its ads interrupting me every other level and the prizes that constantly showed up. The ads often would not go away; just lead to yet another screen to watch and try to close. Sometimes I could not close out. I had to respond to screen to make it clear. This is not going to happen. The app is not as it was advertised, it has way too many ads to cover its cost, and it has too many gimmicks, prizes, and fluff. I just want a simple, challenging word game that plays as advertised. I can take the ads as long as they are incorporated responsibly. This one did not....so it has been deleted.

Opinions after playing for over a year. (Paying subscriber)

UPDATE - PAID FOR NO ADS BUT GETTING ADS. SENT MSGS BUT NEVER GET A RESPONSE. GAME USED TO BE GREAT AND ONLY ONE I PLAYED BUT NOT WORTH IT ANYMORE. Loved the game for the most part but lately it freezes too often and is impossible to play. Also uses words that are not always in a dictionary and then penalizes you for words that are in the dictionary that they don’t allow. Update: Many hours later, still no change, still freezes. Pretty much not functioning at all. Too frustrating to even try to play a game. Says updated six days ago so I know I have the latest version. It’s been several hours. Still no improvement. Tried going through their system to contact them and it won’t even function long enough to contact them and the previous windows to contact them are no longer available at this time. I would not suggest paying for this game. I get that technology happens but eight hours is quite a long time to not be functionable. **Update -it’s been fixed and it’s working great again! - Looks like in ‘tournaments’ there are no longer tapered down points/rewards for 2nd and 3rd so that definitely changes my interest in playing as much as previously. - Wish the ‘spin’ was back in the middle of the letters vs off to the side.

Love and Hate
Fri Jul 17 2020 Sidnis

I went and looked up this game to read the reviews because I love this game, er I love the concept. I hate this specific game. I don’t think it was developed well at all. Some levels are fair, the words not included in the puzzle are put in the word bank for you which fills up and you can “empty” it to get more coins. It is still challenging but fair, most of the words are typical and it makes it addicting like why didn’t I see that!? If you are stuck on one word at least you can try to add words to the word bank. The other levels don’t recognize words to put in the word bank and have obscure words in the puzzle. Its like they didn’t do any quality review or maybe some of the puzzle designers aren’t native english speakers? Idk but its frustrating, who would spend money on this!? Its bad. But addicting. Also, it takes forever to get more coins. The words in stars on the puzzle will only earn you 2 or 3 coins, no matter how strange and difficult the word is. The levels vary in difficulty but not the coins you earn after completion. It will only give you 3 coins, no matter the difficult or number of words. The wheel isn’t fair either. There has to be a similar game designed better than this.

Fun but some criticisms..
Sun Jan 22 2023 mandyd🙂25

One criticism I have is 10 coins for if I watch an ad so u cn get a hint or help, but a hint is 25 coins, so u have to watch multiple ads just to get that and then u end up using all ur coins, so frustrating…when u win a level only like 3 coins u get ugh… I had to use a word site I found off google just to get past levels cuz some words they have I didn’t even know was a word or had trouble otherwise if I didn’t do that. I feel like u have to be really good with words to know how to play this, some levels are very challenging. Don’t get me wrong sometimes it’s fun that way, but sometimes it’s hard cuz u don’t get too many coins if u want a letter. Also the ad is falsely advertised for this game, when u actually get this game it doesn’t play as it’s advertised… u are going to loose players if u keep showing lies with ur ads.. i will never get this game until u make as it’s advertised…. It’s stupid to advertise it as one thing and then when people download it they find out it’s nothing like as the ad showed.. for example it shows questions like honest is the blank policy and ur supposed too put the answer in.. sorry but Im completely disappointed in this game

Ads, ads, ads, ads

I have played for years and love the challenge with words. However I am quickly becoming so overwhelmed by the volume of ads and the time that I spend waiting to get through them with screen clicks, even just to get to the next puzzle that it is not worth it. There has always been a running ad banner at the bottom of the screen - no big deal. To get hints/coins you have to watch an ad, I get it. Just to get to the next puzzle?? To top it off, as if they are not making enough from advertisers, there are now audio ads that run randomly while playing so you have to keep the volume off - it accesses your sound so you cannot listen to music and play at the same time such on a plane. The final straw is after having sat through a bazillion ads for Royal Match and Kingdom, now it will randomly take over the screen mid-game so you have to swipe it off like a mosquito. Pay for the ad-free game you say? Sure, for a few months at a time or one year, only to have to pay again and again. It WAS fun, but is NOT worth it for me.
