Knotwords

Five stars until latest update. App quits at end or sometimes during game

I have over a year long streak in this game <3 The only thing missing for me is a way to view my high score times.

Probably the most fun and challenging word-related game out there but $12 for a mobile game is nuts. Free options are very limited (and not very clear when you just start playing). The sudoku aspect of it makes it quite interesting to play. Some glitches where words are surely indirectly but you can adjust settings to get around it if you want. Hope devs reduce the price in the future.

This seems like a good game but please provide a way to turn off all animations and movement (including the rabbit, cute as it is). They are unnecessary to gameplay and induce nausea in some users. See W3 accessibility standards on reducing animation.

I have been using Knotwords for years and enjoying playing. However, today’s Daily Puzzle (November 8, 2024) included a racial slur. As I was stuck, I asked for a hint (N.B.: I refuse to type in the offensive word in my review) and I received the following: Plural form of ______ - a person of Italian descent. This definition came from wiktionary. The definition of coin or type of bird could have been used. Please make sure that racial/national slurs and disparaging definitions are NOT used. We have enough division in the world already. My rating would have been 5 stars, but I’m putting in 2 for now.

This is a great puzzle idea and quite fun but it seems crazy to me that this app takes up more than half a gigabyte of phone storage

Love this game. Simple enough to play a quick round, but also has larger puzzles when you want more of a challenge. One point of feedback - the algorithm for which square the cursor moves to after you type a letter is just about completely backwards from what it seems it should be (at least for me). Perfect example: after typing a letter there is only one square left empty - seems the logical choice. But it often picks an already filled square. This has cost me precious seconds off my best times! Minor quibble but if that was fixed the game would be perfect.

The game was working fine until I paid for the app. What is the deal? I enjoyed it while it worked.

They recently (a few months) updated the game to show you the difference in your solution and theirs when you have an alternate. It was great before, but I love seeing the difference in solutions.

1. Plural nouns are not always recognized as clue words in Puzxlebooks. Today's Tricky Puzzle (9/17/24) was 'Weather" and had five weather related terms that were not marked because all were plurals - CLOUDS, RAYS, TROUGHS, GALES and MONSOONS. I have noticed this plural bug in other puzzles. 2. I was late by 9 days in starting Puzzlebooks this month. When selected, the display oscillated back and forth between months. A force quit and restart cleaned things up.
