Bold Moves: Match 3 Word Game! Wiki

Clever of Oprah to combine elements of three popular games-Wheel of Fortune, Candy Crush and Trivial Pursuit. The power ups are a little different and the game itself is just difficult enough to be challenging without hanging the player up for weeks on end. . .until the Fireflies enter the field. Pardon my pun but I feel there is definitely a “bug” in the system here. The first level they appeared I passed the level without even knowing how I did it. The next level had me hung up for weeks, watching every tutorial I could find, copying the moves over and over without passing the level. I contacted support and was given a “pass” on that level but of course the next level included fireflies and it was no easier. The game was no longer enjoyable so I deleted the app and my progress of over 160 levels and started over - in hopes that all the complaints by other users would prompt an adjustment in the game. I guess I will find out when I get to that level again. If I see no improvement I will delete and find another app. Of course there are plenty of matching games to choose from; it’s just a shame that this one has some great unique features going for it.

I love this game on so many levels. Beautiful and diverse graphics. Ever changing levels with coordinating, nature themed special effects. Inspirational quotes (yet at times cheesy and grammatically incorrect). A wheel of fortune element to solve the quotes. Special event levels to earn more power ups. And ever-growing levels to be able to continue playing. All of this is awesome; however, I had built up between 35–40 power-ups (butterfly, Starfall, Lily, Sunflower) and 25-30 letter hints, and one day when I logged in, they were all set back to zero! Also, for the daily reward, you used to get more of the waterfall, Starfall, tornado, and lightning bolt; however, now to get these, you have to pay for them. Love this game, just wish it didn’t erase what I had built up! UPDATE: I emailed the support team, and they got back to me within the timeframe stated, were super nice, restored all of my lost boosts, and even threw in a few extra for my trouble! I was super surprised and very grateful!

After my review I quickly received correspondence from the company wanting to address my concerns. They went well above and beyond to help. The customer service takes me back to the late 80s when customer service was impeccable and a major strategy for companies. They gave me tips and were kind and considerate and generous. I will say I would no longer hesitate to spend $ on this game going forward so they have a loyal customer now! Thank you Lindsey! This game is a great concept but I’ve been stuck on A level for over a month now and it is impossible to get past. There are bugs too for example you swipe right and it moves left and causes you to lose the move. You also have no way to earn gems to “buy” power ups. There are no incentives for clearing a level or earning a piece of the pie. You get points but the mean nothing. This game could be so great but truly misses the mark. I would pay for the game if it was properly designed.

I mean for the most part it is a really good game. Not too difficult and honestly I have a crush that I’m trying to get over. That’s the main reason that I downloaded the app. It really helped me. It made my heart feel warm inside and the quotes r sooo pretty. If I could make an app like this I would be really proud of myself. But there is always a but to all games... like still download it but be aware that if u try solve and get a letter wrong in like the beginning of the game and u have no idea what it is and u get a letter wrong it will cost u a life. Otherwise pretty good game. I suggest it to all my friends who needs some support after a heart break or just doesn’t believe that they r good enough and let’s be honest. We all need that. This game is a fun inspirational game. Plz download it.. cuz somewhere in our hearts we’re all feeling heartache or self doubt. This is the pep to my step and I hope it becomes your’s By: Hawklover

I love the message and the challenge to get to the phrase. However if someone has tried for weeks and sometimes months to get past a section, please provide alternative ways to advance. Example level 202 has been months trying to get all the flowers. I can solve the phrase but if you could also solve it by having the letters available to select you would still have the challenge and not the frustration of never getting all the flowers before being able to solve the phrase. I know others get stuck on levels and start all over again. I have over 700 days continuously and think that is a little unfair that the only answer is start from the beginning. You could also put option to skip a phrase. Thanks for challenging us but please mKe it worth out time to learn and Share.

I love this game. Bravo. Love the music, the sounds, the power ups, colors, you name it! I have only two issues. 1 - I can’t remember what all the helpers do (i.e. tornado, water, lightening) so it would be helpful to have an explanation when you tap on them so you don’t have to waste it; and 2 - sometimes it can be too hard. I’m on one level now that I can’t get past and am getting ready to give up and delete the app - level 86 isn’t listed as “hard” but I’ve been trying for two weeks now. If A level is too hard I find myself only playing once or twice a day. I’ve kept it this long because I love the concept. Almost a home run 🤗. UPDATE - I think you should get credit for the power ups that you still have left after solving the puzzle, they should be allowed to play out. Just a suggestion. Still love it. I had to start over because i got a new phone and it didn’t copy over like the rest of my apps, so I lost all my daily gifts as well as progress but that’s okay.

I love this game and can’t get enough of playing. At first I did have a few issues with some of the bugs that others have complained about; but now I don’t. You have to have patience just like you do with any new thing that you are learning how to use. “Patience” is something we all appear to lack in this crazy time of the world. Get some folks! It has a help tab, it has a support tab and both can help you it you need some of the features explain or if you have system issues. I am at level 84 and enjoying the game. The levels do get challenging and just when you think you can’t figure it out you get it. I once stayed on one level for 4-5 weeks while working on it for a few hours a day ( during my work commute or at bedtime). I love the positive affirmations and email and text to my friends and family for motivation and support and also to myself for reflection. Thank you for the fun, positive words and challenging adult game Oprah!!🙋🏽🌺💕.

I thoroughly enjoy playing this game. The quotes are what I need to help guide me on my individual journey in life. There are a few glitches in the game where it freezes just as I have finally won a level, leading me to restart the app and therefore the level (as if I never completed it). Another enhancement that would be beneficial is the option to solve once you run out of moves. This option is available, however I often accidentally hit the start over button before I realize I could have solved the puzzle. This issue could be resolved by moving the solve button to the bottom where it could easily be seen or providing a 2 step confirm option when clicking start over; preferable a reminder that the solve option is open in that second step before confirming to start over. As the game is now, I habitually hit the start over button and formed habits die hard.

Updated rating to reflect thoughtful resolution to the problem. It would be 5 but The game does have occasional glitches which can be very frustrating. In this last issue, if communication/response had been more prompt it might have felt less frustrating. Anyway, everything is worked out and I am a much happier camper (-: The game is fun, but the functions are deteriorating. First all of my accumulated coins disappeared. I closed out the screen and opened it up again and the coins reappeared but ALL of the boosters (Irises, Daisies, butterflies etc.) disappeared (about six months of accumulated gifts) and when I started a new game to see what would happen, all of the tornadoes and thunder bolts and in-game boosters had disappeared too. I have sent 3 detailed requests to the support desk including screen shots, and have not been responded to yet. Tonight, the lives did not regenerate at their usual rate. After not playing for several hours, (a minimum of four sand a half hours) I opened the game and only 2 out of the 5 lives had regenerated. I would love to report this to support but for whatever reason they have not responded to my other requests do it just seems stupid to try anymore with them. I am just wondering if anybody else is having these problems?

The one review I just read was titled “enjoyable to a point” I have to agree with that. I enjoyed many aspects of this game but continue to be concerned that Oprah would put her name on a game that triggers trauma survivors. Certain levels of the game contain vines that continue to grow and overtake the gameplay if you do not make matches to get rid of them. It becomes intensely overwhelming because there is no way to stop the vines if you don’t match up of them. They continue to grow and grow and grow and you can’t even get to them until you clear other stuff out of the way. Or somebody who is a victim of assault, Being powerless over the hand they are dealt, And no matter what they do to stop the attacker, the vines just keep coming. I have spent weeks on certain levels to pass them. I am at level 13for and it is creating more anxiety in enjoyment at this point. The other posts mention the power ups being different than other games. I have been frustrated with those as well because I have use them and they don’t work or the blocked areas. When you use it to make a tile Disappear on top of something, that’s literally all it does is disappear. You have to match three to make something go away. I have wasted a lot of power ups thinking it was going to remove a blocked area and all he did was get rid of tiles.

I feel like the game doesn’t allow you the same opportunities as it grants itself. It doesn’t provide even enough of the items you are trying to gather to solve the puzzle before you run out of allotted moves. When trying to solve it sometimes doesn’t even have combinations to eliminate so it has to reset the board while you losing moves trying to create a booster to clear the board. It’s like it’s trying to bait you into buying combo packs. I’m not sure but I think this game is cleverly created to bait you into purchases. It’s not that difficult of game but board sets make it difficult to clear especially when using combinations of boosters to clear difficult stages. Disappointing but addictive, I’ve already spent $20 then the game freezes I lost cleared stages up to 101, purchased gems and collected boosters plus lives, because I had to reset the game sending me back to level 1. Contacted customer service with no response.

This game was fun at first but if you want to continue to the next levels you need to buy boosters. There is absolutely no way to complete many of the levels without purchasing a booster. Believe me I tried. Boosters are almost $5. Unreal. Love the concept that you get a positive affirmation and quote from Oprah after you complete each level, and you get to solve puzzles like wheel of fortune (once you completed all the tasks) but you need Oprah kind of money if you want to continue to play. She may be giving away cars, but she certainly isn’t giving anything away in this app. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Oprah, but I was spending way too much money on this app so ended up deleting it. There are plenty of other fun games out there for less. And you can always google positive quotes and affirmations for free! Having a game that spreads positivity is such wonderful concept but apparently positive vibes are only getting spread to the rich folks who can afford to play this game. Would be awesome if teens could afford to play and read all these positive messages. The game is genius, but I had hoped for a little more generosity and compassion from our beloved Oprah.

I think someone needs to revisit the functionality of the boosters and how they clear items in game. For example it makes no sense that the boosters can clear the cherry blossoms but the player does not get credit. Or that when combining power ups/boosters it does not override stupid built in functions and clears out or at least contributes to completing the challenge. In addition the challenges don’t even provide instructions on how they should be removed once you get farther in the game. Even if this doesn’t not appear at the beginning of the round it should at least be accessible in the help section. Also there are times when very few letters are also provided during the challenges. Overall the boosters should be more useful and powerful in completing challenge objectives and clearing out board items. At this point the game is becoming a bit absurd in its functionality! It’s as though the person creating the algorithms had computer knowledge but lacked simply common sense. Not sure I will keep this much longer!!!

There were a couple of glitches as I made my way thru to level 174. I made it thru the horrible fireflies and ridiculous difficult levels without having to buy any boosts, mostly because of the “daily reward” that gave me 1, 2, and then 3 rewards everyday when I didn’t miss a day of clicking on it. I had 20-30 of each boost (butterflies, sunflowers, and the other one that looks like drops, as well as almost 60 hints to solve the puzzle). Then I got to level 140, where my daily reward froze. I could still click on it and get the reward, but it was the same for days and days - day 140. I emailed customer support and they fixed it, but I was started over at the beginning level. So I complained again, and they “fixed” it again, this time, I lost all the boosts I had accumulated. I liked the game, but not the glitches, and not the “fixes” that were applied. I deleted it. I would advise not getting too involved or too deep at the risk of losing it all. It’s not the end of the world, just a game, but quite frustrating.
