Knotwords

Mini puzzle streaks fixed, but puzzlebook achievements are still broken.

I really like the concept and execution of this game. I like playing it a little bit each day. I use an iPad Air 2 and it gets quite warm when playing. I wonder if some optimisations could be made for older devices to reduce power use when playing.

One such example, in July’s tricky puzzle #16: Exactest is not a word. And your definitions for clues are wrong, or awkward, most of the time. July 9: daily classic: Ripes is not a word. Daily twist: wests is not a word.

Today I reached one full year of Mini daily puzzles! They are the first thing I do when I pick up my phone before breakfast. ❤️

Play just about everyday. Love that I can recover my streak on the few days I have missed.

I have over 700 days playing this game so, obviously, I do enjoy it. However, there is a quirk I wish it would fix. When I have completed a word correctly, and am filling out other squares, I don’t think the program should allow a letter to be inputted in a section where the word is already the correct word. I find it frustrating to think I know the next word only to find that the program has stuck letters where I didn’t want it and now I have to go back and correct what it has done. That’s my major complaint. Otherwise, I do love it, and believe that paying to be able to play the extra games is worth it.

There’s a section for the puzzles for then entire month and without buying the subscript you only get 10 of the 30/31 puzzles for the entire month. They also have a daily classic and mini puzzle but some days you have to skip unless you pay. So once the 10 puzzles for the month is done you may get 0-2 puzzles to play a day. I deleted the app after learning this.

SUCKED. It’s one thing to try to stretch people’s minds; it’s another to show off your own brilliance by including words that NO ONE USES in WAYS NO ONE USES THEM.

This game is fun and I keep coming back every day, but there are two annoying things that bother me. One, when selecting a daily puzzle and tapping on the name of the weekday, it highlights the button rather than just opening the puzzle. Every other button in the app requires a single tap, but this one requires two for some strange reason. Second, haptic vibration is enabled without any way to turn it off. I would much prefer to disable this so I can play in silence. Other than those two annoyances, I recommend this game and appreciate the lack of ads and tracking.

Previous bugs now finally fixed. New feature to display difference between the official solution and user's alternate solution is really nice. Initial splash screen now displays only the first few times the app is run -- saves time. New features are not documented, so there may be more good stuff to discover.
