Wordalot – Picture Crossword Wiki

Love the game. There was a glitch for about two months that after solving the puzzle, you got kicked out of the app. After reopening the app, the puzzle remained solved, but you didn’t get coin credit. Probably lost about 50 coins before just putting the game down for awhile and checking back. They have fixed this problem. The game is running smooth again. Not even worried about the coins. I would just like to know when new levels are coming out. It’s been a while.

Sometimes the clues can be very obvious, other times the clues can be the hardest to pick out. That’s what I love about this game. It makes me have to look carefully at the pictures and think of every single object that is in the pictures that could be the possible answer. If I was asked to identify any downsides to the game, I would have to say that some of the levels repeat words from other levels, but that’s just nitpicking.

I love this game. I study German as a second language and downloaded this game to help learn new words. It keeps the game interesting and fun but unfortunately it kills my battery since I updated my iPhone. Every time I even open the app, my phone loses 2-3%. Granted, since the most recent update, my phone loses battery if I even look at it the wrong way, but this app really does it in.

Game is very entertaining and challenging. You’ve got to think outside of American English and look at other English varieties to come up with the clues. Perfect to pass some time. I recommend you put it down if you start to struggle for a little bit and come back a little later. You’ll be mentally refreshed and the clues will come much easier again.

I really enjoy this game. Some words are easy, some a little tougher. You hardly get any coins from completing a puzzle so I really like the daily challenge especially how you get even more coins with the winning streak. Lately, more often than not, after I complete the daily challenge, the app closes and I’m not awarded the coins. Sometimes I lose my winning streak. I emailed support thru the app but the email bounced back as undeliverable. So, if you never need to use any hints which you only get by using coins, this game is great. For me, I sometimes get stuck on a word and need those hints. It’s just super frustrating to win coins and not be awarded.

I selected USA in settings but many of the words and/or terms are UK terms and spellings. Example: UK - jewellery; USA - jewelry. Example: UK - windscreens; USA - windshields. Words like these will stump me for hours or days, and unnecessarily at that. When I chose USA settings I’d expect to have USA words and USA spellings. If corrected I would give the app 5 stars! Also agree with another reviewer stating some of the words become obvious and repetitive (clouds, wallpaper, curtains, window) and after buying an iPad it does not sync with my iPhone. So on the iPad I’ve had to start over and on the iPhone I’m way ahead. Please fix this!

Was introduced to the game by friends on an Alaska Cruise, and love it. We all keep in touch by helping each other out w hard puzzles. Downside to the app is that there have been occasions (upgrading to new phone & when phone crashed and needed to be restored and reloaded) that I have had to reinstall the app, and lost my game level (highest was 403) and had to start over at level 1. Please create a fix for this so your levels can be saved to a register account or something so we doubt get kicked back down to level 1.

I like this game quite a lot which is why I gave it 4 of 5 stars. One thing I'd like to see changed would be to let the players fill in letters they think they already know and then go back and fill in the rest. I think if I could fill in a letter or 2, I might be able to guess the rest of the puzzle. What do you think of this idea? Have you ever thought of this before? I'd welcome your thoughts if you'd wouldn't mind emailing me about this. I believe you have my email address already on file. Thank you for your consideration.

I’m enjoying Wordalot enough to not resent that it’s an in-app purchase model—something I usually dislike. It manages to be both. Ute and challenging without quite crossing over into frustrating. I do wish, however, they’d add a feature that lets us scramble the letters available for a word. That can really help when I’m stuck. I’d also like some way to give up, maybe pay a fine or something, and have the correct word filled in.

It’s an interesting puzzle game, but it works much better on a tablet than on the phone because the pictures are really much too small to see the objects, and there’s no way to pinch and expand them. Also, progress cannot be saved to be shared on other devices. In other words, if you’ve been doing this for years on your phone and then you get a tablet you have to start all over again.

I played pretty obsessively for several months, but then the pictures became more cartoon and less actual pictures. I believe I just completed puzzle #620 something. The puzzle was an actual picture of 2 young boys looking at a globe wearing explorer type garb. The final “word” that I needed to enter was a 2 word (3/5) combination. In what world is a “globe” called “the earth”? There have been several puzzles since the last update that have left me shaking my head because the word needed to fill the blanks makes no sense. And enough of the cartoons already.... I started playing this because of the really nice pictures.... now I’m feeling like I need to give my phone to the grandchildren because the artwork is like coloring book quality. Not so great anymore.

I liked the game. It was fun to play and I purchased coins several times. I do not like that you cannot see the progress you have made or how many levels are left to complete. I recently purchased coins that did not show up on the app. I waited to see if the purchase came thru my account. Meanwhile I continued to play the game and completed all levels. When i contacted the developer about my coin purchase. I was told to restart the app and check my coins. Now that all levels are complete you can not see your coins. When I replied this to the developer and asked for a refund. I was told no they could not refund the money. I would have to wait for new levels to continue playing the game. They may not release new levels for months and I will not be able to verify that my purchase of coins was deposited to my game. This is crappy customer service. I really don’t appreciate the response below. I have contacted you via email and got absolutely no help and now you want to try to assist because of this rating. I will recommend this app to all my friends so they may also give you bad reviews because of you poor customer service. You have my money and now you don’t want to assist. You have my email address and I expect and response via email. Then maybe I can change my review. Regards, A once very happy consumer.

This app basically asks you to spell the items in the picture, is very easy and boring. Worse, it’s privacy policy is terrible, basically saying they collect whatever data they can (including location, social networks, etc.) and share it with everyone, including advertisers and social networks. Want to view or modify their data on you? You can, if you want to write and send a handwritten, signed letter to Sweden! They know no one will do that, hence you can’t access their data on you. Also seeing as their response to another review (wanting coins refunded) was that they needed to email from within the app to provide their user ID. Those two facts imply that either they treat your personal data less securely than “coin data”, or they really won’t let you access your data at all, even if you do write them a letter! Seems rather abusive of their data access for a little crossword app!

I've been playing this game for a very long time. You used to get 15 coins after completing each puzzle but once it updated a few months back, it changed to only two coins making it so you have to complete five puzzles before you can use a hint which costs ten coins. This update is very money-grabbing and I lost respect for the developers. It's a good game and I still play it but when I'm stuck I just look up the answers on google by typing in "wordalot level ...". There's also no log in or cloud save so if you get a new device, you have to start from level one which is unfortunate.
