✦ AI summary
Players appreciate this as a digital version of the classic newspaper Jumble word game, offering nostalgic appeal for fans of the puzzle. However, the game suffers from significant technical issues including frequent crashes and menu navigation problems, and more fundamentally, the word lists are incomplete and inconsistent, with many valid words not being accepted and puzzle themes often misleading regarding which words fit the stated topic.
I used to love playing Jumble every day in the Newspaper. This is close to it. Newspapers are barely around any more, so this is a keeper.1 found this helpful
Too many bugs. Such as cannot go back to main menu. Game maker doesn't know English. So many words are wrong in this game.1 found this helpful
Full of bugs. Most of the time I needed Alt+F4 to exit the game. Most of the words that you can type with the given letters are not included in the crossword or the bonus word list. There are puzzles with a topic, such as animals. However, only the longest word is an animal name. The rest is random words. So, topic name is misleading and confusing. Even tough it is a very cheap game, I can't recommend it in its current state.
I like word games and for the money, figured this would be good for a little bit. It's ok but mainly just frustrating. I find a lot of the words that i think about aren't the ones they're looking for. I wish it worked like an actual crossword with hints on what the word is, as opposed to just looking like a crossword. And finally, even for as simple as this game is it's buggy. I have 9 hours played but played nowhere near that. The game froze and I forced it to close from the task bar, but turns out it was still running. Not very fun or satisfying and i don't think it's even worth $2
