Better than Wordle and crossword puzzles

Great game. I’m actually kind of hooked on playing it. Some boards are really hard and you’ll be staring at the letters forever trying to find a word. It helps to remember that not all the letters are used in every word. I also like the “hidden word” feature that gives you hints for the current board when you find a word that’s not part of the solution, but still recognized in the game’s lexicon. Another review complains about ads and I’m not sure why because I have played more than three boards and haven’t gotten any ads

This is a very interesting and fun way to play a word game. The problem is I’m pretty sure a lot of the “words” aren’t actually words. After once or twice thinking this, I figured it was just me being unfamiliar with those words, but after advancing in the game into level 30 or so, I was running into seemingly fake words quite a bit. To be fair, I didn’t Google these questionable words, but I’m 36 years old, did well in school, and work in a fast-paced business environment… I’m pretty familiar with the English language, and these are exclusively five-letter words. I usually only need three guesses in Wordle (on hard mode). If I’m wrong and all those questionable words really are actually in the dictionary, then still they are words nobody ever uses, and so what’s the point of this game? I think what we have is an English language game built by someone who may not speak English as a first language (or at all). This is a very well designed, inventive word puzzle game unfortunately ruined by poor fundamentals. It probably would’ve been better to have an English-speaking person come up with the actual puzzles.

Hello Kevin! Thank you very much for your feedback and thank you for taking the time to write this detailed review! Whenever you find a word a small icon pops up on the top right of the screen that redirects you to the word’s definition. English is a wonderful language with many unique words that we have tried to include in Wordathlon, however we completely understand your argument. If you come across words that you feel shouldn’t be included in our crosswords, would you like to email us at support@legenbearygames.com? We constantly try to improve the game so we would be extremely happy to hear from you, as it will help us make the crosswords better! Have a wonderful day! :)

Lots of ads UPDATED
05/08/2022

It's not a bad game. After the first three boards, however, there is an ad after EVERY board you play. I thought I could deal with it but nah. I deleted the game. Too bad because it's really not a bad little game. Update: Gonna give this game another shot based on the developer’s positive response. It really is a fun little game and nice to pass the time away. If the ads are reduced, I’ll gladly add another star. Much better now!

More ad-time than actual gameplay

This game is very fun and mentally stimulating. I got pretty far before calling it quits because of the ads. I’m all for ads in free versions of games but it feels a little ridiculous to have to sit through a two-minute un-skippable ad every two rounds, especially when some rounds are played in that same amount of time. It feels like more time is spent watching ads than actually playing the game. Honestly, these are longest ads I’ve seen out of every game I play that has ads! I believe there’s an ad-free version for $7/8 USD but that also seems a bit high to me for a word game such as this one.

Developer Response
Thank you very much for your feedback, all ads should be skippable after 5-10 seconds. There should be a little 'x' or '>>' icon on the top right/left of the screen that allows you to skip. (I'll pass your feedback though to our advertisers) (◕‿◕)
