## Red Herring Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Neat concept, flawed execution"
“Orange” and “Grape” are both Spheres and Fruits. I’m aware that some items can belong to more than one category, but they should never belong to the same exact ones as other items if they do. This is a deal-breaker.

Also, the UI is weird. Did you complete a puzzle? Sometimes you can tell, other times not.
-- Philosophistry, 2024-12-23

### ***** "One of my “must do” daily puzzles"
I love this game and I play it daily, but its been crashing lately

Fun puzzle that keeps the mind sharp!

Really enjoy this game but since I bought a new phone has messed with the optics - too big for the screen and no amount of messing with settings has helped things.
-- jordanwhitson, 2024-11-07
