In 2022 there were ads every other puzzle. Now ads follow *every* puzzle. The prize system used to be fun & fair. We played for the specific prizes we wanted. Now, prizes are random, so you waste a ton of time working for prizes you don't even want and miss out on the time limited ones you did want. This was a 5 star game. Now, I'm deleting it despite my 1369 day streak. I literally played this daily for 3+ years but what was once a satisfying game has become an exercise in frustration.

I have been playing for a few years. I have been getting an ad that freezes after going to the Google Play, which it forces it to go to. I have to close out of the app and I miss out on the additional item for the 6 hour path. Where you watch a video and you get the extra one. Add if you have taken 2 turns. Not a huge deal. I cannot inform in app since the email us is no longer there. I asked AI for the email. I sent the screen shot there. The ad is for Word Chain and it freezes on other apps 2.

I've played for 6+ years. recently the difficulty level keeps fluctuating whether you change it or not. I thought they fixed it but now it's back. So aggravating when too many obscured clues/answers are un the puzzle. i.e., authors of books you've never heard of. A few of these type in each group is fine because you can usually figure it or get enough letters to guess. but when most of the group is like that, it is not fun to play.
