Our Expert Score

84/100

Word Yatzy is a brilliant mashup that feels like it should have existed years ago. By taking the tile-based strategy of Scrabble and injecting the 'roll and lock' mechanics of Yahtzee, FunCraft has created a word game that is both deeply strategic and immensely addictive. You aren't just looking for the longest word; you're trying to fill specific scoring slots (like 'Word Yatzy' for filling all 5 slots) to maximize your total across a 5-round game.

The social aspect is where the game truly shines. The turn-based multiplayer allows you to have several games going at once without the pressure of a timer. It’s perfect for those 'waiting for the bus' moments. The game board also includes the familiar tile bonuses (double/triple letter/word) that add a layer of spatial strategy. Visually, it’s clean and modern, with satisfying animations when you hit a big score. For word game veterans, the ability to 'roll' your letters like dice to get a better hand is a game-changer that adds a welcome touch of RNG and excitement to the genre.

Fun but playing on KashKick is a scam!
Sun May 25 2025 A.L.N.C.88

I love word games and this one involves strategy as well as random luck/chance. The game appears to come from the same folks who made Arrow Crosswords which I really enjoyed but stopped playing because the images were too hard to see for the large games. My eyes just aren’t as young as they used to be. Zooming in worked, but with the 60 second limit, I lost too much time zooming around the grid. This one is much easier on the eyes although it isn’t a crossword. Great game so far. Update: I’ve been playing on KashKick. They have a bonus track that requires you to reach the next level once day before it’s possible. For instance—the League play is for 7 days. This league ends in 17 hours. But the bonus set up is that it must be reached in 2 hours — which isn’t possible because the league play doesn’t end for another 17. It seems this was deliberately set up so that the results are not reachable such that no payout would have to be made. When I contacted them, their response was that they set up their timeline regardless of game parameters and people should use in game purchases to reach the levels faster. However, the leagues run 7 days and you cannot end the contest early with purchases so it’s a deliberate set up for failure

Bogus daily streak broken.
Thu Nov 09 2023 alphastacey

This is one of my new favorite games. I play it every day often more than once a day. But I am so annoyed that it claims that my daily challenge streak is broken and then attempts to get me to buy chips or whatever to maintain my streak. I had not broken my streak, and that’s happened three times to me now. I know this is just a game, but it’s fun to try and keep the streak going and it is ridiculously annoying when you arbitrarily say the street is broken. Not only that but I can’t even play the regular game or get back to that regular game because the screen is still saying I broke my streak and do I want to start over or pay money to maintain my streak, this is so low budget and if this is how this game needs to make money, that’s pretty sad. I won’t be buying bogus chips to keep my daily streak going artificially. Don’t insult our intelligence. I hope you can fix this error because I do really enjoy playing the game.

Where’s support when you need it?
Wed Jun 05 2024 schany62

2 things. Well 3. 1. I really like the game. Installed it on my phone originally. Liked it enough to sign up with my email for an account and so I could install it on my tablet. Never asked me for a password when I set it up but when I clicked on the link for “already have an account” it wanted a password. No problem just click on reset password and set one up. They sent me a password reset link but it goes nowhere. If I click open in a new window it takes me to the App Store. Not where I need to be. 2. Tried to contact tech support in the app on my phone and it opened up my little icons for messages Bluetooth, drive, email, Microsoft 360, etc. Apparently support goes nowhere either. 3. Have to agree with the others.. waaaaay too many ads and long! Also if you fat finger an ad trying to close it when that option comes up, its opening up the App Store or trying to install something. I was going to put it on my tablet thinking that maybe a bigger screen would be better for playing this game. At this point I may have to pass on it. No customer support or lack of ability to find help makes me leery.

Could have been great
Tue Jul 23 2024 e if an irlbt

I really like the idea of the game and would have played this all day long weren’t it not for all the glitches. The game freezes quite often and when I kill the game and come back in, it takes forever and the game I was in the middle of is frequently unplayable. Sometimes they have stuff displayed right where the letters would be, so I have no way to pick letters. Other times it will just skip my turn so my opponent gets to have 5 words and I only get 4. And the worst is when I already have my 5 words on the board and it wants me to choose the letters for the next word. But there aren’t any letter and there isn’t anywhere for it to go anyway. The ads are LONG and frequently freeze as well. In the beginning, I had considered paying to stop the ads, but finding out it was $13 for 2 days seems very overpriced. Plus, with how long it takes to play each game due to all the ads, the freezing and the need to restart the game only to have it freeze before I get to do anything, that would be a total waste of money. I am really disappointed because this could have been an amazing game that I would recommend to people.

Word Bank Needs Expansion
Fri Nov 14 2025 Shiva270

I’m not sure if this is intended only for kids but even as a kid or an adult, there are many words I have tried scientifically, casually, and profession and it does not count the scoring. This is the same for foreign words that we find in our language and it does not count it yet it does count slang…as if a teenager made the game. Not a bad game but it is quite annoying knowing I could be scoring more points if only the dictionary in development was broadened. Would not accept words Semen, Austin, Brazil, Litten, Pi$$ed, picture but did accept “pics” 🤔…pics is not a whole word. Would not accept Denali, Biden, ledging, and other words pertaining to places, common names, and history. Also, it just doesn’t give you a good balance between consonants and vowels. I might get a few consonants at first then the other two rolls will end up being mostly vowels. What am I to do with that? I’m playing through 5 Surveys, it needs some work. These challenges are helping out though so thanks. Appreciate it.

fun but frustrating
Wed Sep 11 2024 esquad2413

I have mixed feelings about this game. One one hand it is fun, but yet it is also stressful and annoying to me at the same time. Once you reach a certain level the movies become timed moves with no way that I have found to turn off the timer. Being severely dyslexic my game scores have dropped with the timed movies where there just isn't enough time for me to see the better words: The annoying/frustrating part about the game is that I paid for the no ads but yet every turn there is a chance to get more emeralds, with adds. You can add more time to your move with an add (or emeralds). Often there is a "free spin" that pops up to get helpful things...if you watch an add. What is the point of paying for ads to be removed if you still have to watch an ad for everything??

It’s rigged
Wed Sep 04 2024 Val!111111

This game is definitely rigged because the bot you play against will literally have like points of 10 for one word and then 25 for the other, and meanwhile I’ll have like 15 points for one word and 40 for the other. And then I’ll finally get points for a word of like over 100 points and then all of a sudden the BOT gets a word with over 100 points right after I do! And every single time it’s the same thing no matter who I’m playing against it never fails, whenever I score big so do they out of nowhere too! It’s 100% rigged and the Ads are annoying as h3ll and it’s $10 per week just to get rid of them… which is insane! It would be a fun game if you didn’t get smacked in the face with an ad every three words you place! But this game pretty much puts you up against bots so that way they chose who wins or not. And I’ve noticed after you get a winning streak of 5 or 6 you lose the next game and then you lose your streak. I wouldn’t even waste your time playing this if I was you. It’s just another rigged game that just wants you to watch ads to make them rich!

TOOOOOO many long ads ruin a terrific game!
Mon Mar 25 2024 WhatKarenSees

Up front let me say that I would have given this game itself 5 STARS, but because of the excessive waiting time between ads I’m giving it 1 star in hopes that this REVIEW will be noticed and be given serious consideration. AND THAT OTHER USERS WILL VOICE THEIR OPINION AS WELL! Incidentally, I have NEVER written a review for a game app before, but this deserves one. I love word games but rarely have I ENJOYED one as much as I do this one. It’s clever and stimulating and fun. But this game is OVER THE REASONABLE LIMIT for ads. Almost after every move and very long. I am used to and tolerate ads, which is fine, but this is overkill! So because I like this game so much, I decided to bite the bullet and pay to remove them. I was expecting a reasonable amount of about $10 to permanently remove all ads and was shocked to see that I had to pay that amount every few days. This is UNACCEPTABLE! As others have commented, there comes a tipping point where MY TIME IS MORE VALUABLE than playing a game. I will have to say goodbye if there is not a change soon.
