Crossword Jam - Fun Word Games Wiki

I really like this game. Some word games they get so much harder as you keep playing that it becomes a matter of you buying points or coins for clues to be able to keep playing. This game isn’t that way. It’s just a fun word game. You certainly can buy coins if you want to but I don’t. I earn them through videos are other ways that they let you earn coins instead of just throwing money at the app.I’ve had this weird game on my phone just as long as words with friends, it’s been a while and I have really loved playing it. Thank you for making this fair for people that can’t afford to buy all the extra coins for help and still want to play a fun word game. I highly recommend it. This game is not full of annoying pop-up ads either. There’s a nice balance which makes it fun to play.

This game is the best. Other games get increasingly harder to solve to the point you just don’t want to play anymore. This game, however, isn’t the same. It offers the right amount of challenge and you don’t have to know every word in the dictionary, this game uses words that everyone knows. I’ve been playing this game for a few years and I never get tired of it. I did break down for the first time and purchased the no ads version because ads are annoying when you are playing a game you enjoy. They offer special challenges where you can compete with other players, if that’s your thing. Just a great game that is fun and not stressful.

This game is worth as much as 5 stars. I love it because it is fun and increases your vocabulary. If your kid struggles with reading and reading hard words like “photosynthesis” this game is perfect for them. Crossword Jam is a great game because it is engages your kids to learn new words. Crossword Jam makes the game fun by making a challenge puzzle for you everyday, and making your kid desperate to get coins and owls (which is what you earn from the challenge puzzle.) When you find a new word in the crossword puzzle and click on it, it tells you the meaning of the word. Get This app! It will help you or your kids a lot! :)

I’m on the penultimate level of this game (which is Tonga, as of 26 Nov 2019), and have overall had a great time playing it. My quips are: 1) certain words that are very clearly existing words are not counted; this occurs both with singular or plural forms of certain words that are counted in their other form (“layouts” is counted while “layout” is not, even though the app’s dictionary’s first entry for “layouts” is “plural form of layout,” e.g.) as well as with a plethora of random words (“lust” won’t be counted even though “lusty” is, e.g.); and 2) the Daily Challenge is occasionally designed in such a way where you literally have to just guess which word is going to fill a certain space when multiple words could potentially fit and be correct in the “crossword” schema. For instance, say both “act” and “ace” would fill the space in the puzzle equally appropriately; you have to guess one or the other, and guessing incorrectly forces you to lose points toward the daily challenge that you’d otherwise have been guaranteed (as not all Daily Challenge puzzles include these frustrating elements—some, that is, are able to be solved in a more precise and accurate way instead of having to guess randomly).

Endless fun... I love this, with two exceptions; I too am very frustrated by losing points and at the very beginning of the game there are bonuses for checking in each day. Well, I’ve been playing this game for years and have yet to get to the top prize. I’ve gotten knocked down to the bottom of the rewards list or just stuck at the end behind the final check in...it’s extremely frustrating. Second issue, there are many times I’ve played a word that you refused only to find out at the very end (when I’ve had to lose points to get a letter) that the word you refused to score was indeed the correct one. I find this very annoying. I also have found words that you won’t accept but really are words. Please fix these things. The frequency of the ads too are horrendous but if you fix these other things I can live with them.

This is a really fun game. I enjoy the tournaments except for one thing. The past few days I have been getting a black screen when I’ve tried to play the game. I’ve turned my phone on and off to restart it but I’m still getting a black screen. Everything else on my phone is working fine. I’m almost wondering if it’s intentional. I’ve won 3 tournaments in a row without needing to make in app purchases. If this is a way to give preference to players making in app purchases over players that watch ads, it would only be fair to mention this upfront. If it’s a technical glitch, it’s been going on for several hours now. You may need a more knowledgeable IT employee so there is less down time. It’s the only game I’ve played that something like this has happened. I would have given the game a solid 5 star review if it weren’t for this issue. The game itself is a lot of fun.

I love word games and my vocabulary is quite large. Usually I finish quite quickly, but sometimes I get stuck on a word and come back to it later. I am over 2,000 in points and have never left a puzzle Uncompleted. However, this game cheats you out of points all the time. I was twice over 1700 and knocked down to 1500 for no reason. Also the bonus words tell me when I have accumulated 40 points but only 15 or 20 are added to my score. This game would be a lot less frustrating if it did not cheat you. I rarely use a suggested letter which cost points, but still lose points. I think the reason for this is bc they would like me to buy coins which I would never do. If I ever ran out, I would quit. I don’t like being cheated.

The game is fun at first, but has a lot of faults. You have to pay to access the coins that you earn in game, they're held in a "piggy bank" but aren't stored there until you've played for a while, so you can access them at first but can't later (you need coins for hints, which you'll need after a while, trust me). The app doesn't recognize all words in the dictionary as actual words, so it limits the bonus words you can accumulate (which help you earn coins that you CAN access). The amount of ads is actually ridiculous, I don't think I've ever downloaded a game before with the amount that this one has in it. There's an ad after every game, even if it's only 3 words that need to be found, and every time you open the app. I started only playing this game when I wasn't connected to wifi and turned off my data so I didn't have to deal with them. There's also daily challenges where they want you to watch EVEN MORE ads. The app will host tournaments where you can earn a lot of coins if you win, but once you approach higher levels the amount of coin prizes drops. When I first started the tournaments there were awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but the most recent tournament I entered only had a prize for first place, so unless you play the game 24/7 you won't win. The theme is cute and if you like these kind of words games then you'll have fun, but all of the issues I stated above are why I'll be deleting the game.

This is a great game to learn new words, there meanings, and a fun way to pass the time. The only thing I can’t wrap my head around is something with the scoring in the diamond tournaments. I look at the ranking and I’d be in first, and then I’ll play 1 puzzle (takes me about 5 minutes) and immediately look at the rankings again and somehow the person below me jumps up nearly 300 diamonds in 5 minutes pulling way ahead! It seems to only happen when I get near the top of the leaderboard which seems kind of odd. It’s happened several times. Not sure if it’s some kind of glitch or somebody who literally does nothing but play this game. Even still, getting 300 diamonds in 5 minutes comes out to finding a word literally every second. Doesn’t seem possible. But other than that in my opinion this is a fun game to play

While the game starts being so exciting and new, one eventually runs out of good words. Some words like 'isle' and other repetitious words can always get you out of a jam. However, eventually the game becomes predictable. Sometimes one spell words knowing they are indeed correct and should be able to obtain mega bonus points, the game does not recognizes them and you don't get the bonus for the effort. Sometimes I connect the letters and form the correct word however it does not catch. It seems the game wants me to use all my bonus points but the object is to leave me without bonus points for when I really are in a jam. When this occurs, it really becomes frustrating because the cue to the initial word in question, is the same word I just connected. And I was right. Not good. It seems that if you want to improve people's brains, redesign the game to include a comprehensive on command dictionary. For those words that are unfamiliar to you. So, this game helps you to parrot and repeat usual words. Not so much brain exercising but mimicking and parroting. Not so much de eloping brain. More like a broken record. Copy some traits like Kindle. It has a comprehensive dictionary for those words you want to learn meaning to. Then, you learn to use them properly. It also has a Wikipedia link and Internet link. I do't mean to through shade. Only providing points so the game could be a real brain exercise.

THIS GAME CHEATS. IT WITHHOLDS POINTS AND FINALLY STARTS EXITING THE GAME REPEATEDLY. WORST GAME EVER. This started out great! It quickly became my very favorite game! In fact, I am currently on Game 2360, country is Montenegro, and the percent of people completing that game is 0.85%. Now...the problem is that for the last few countries the game has cheated me out of Bonus Points. It will either turn to a black screen or just not give the points. It varies. I first thought it was just a one time thing or maybe a few days’ thing. Wrong. I also questioned my internet but that was not an issue either. The withholding of points worsened as I continued completing the games and going on to the next country. It is now to the point that I rarely get any points at all. Today it didn’t give me the consecutive day points. This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. In the beginning and 3/4 of the way to where I am I would give it a five star rating. Now I wouldn’t even give it one star. The puzzles are difficult enough as I progress. Crossword Jam should not cheat and withhold points. Shame on them. I TAKE AWAY THE ONE STAR I GAVE THIS GAME IN MY PREVIOUS POST. It will NOT let me proceed. It keeps blanking the screen and exiting out of the game—repeatedly. Currently I am on game 2505 and the country is Bolivia. I have tried and tried and it will not let me finish the game. In addition, it WILL NOT GIVE me ANY points even though I earn them.

Have been playing this game for months and really enjoyed it. I could even deal with an ad between each game. I was somewhere in the 1250 level (I don’t remember the country) and started getting a black screen, like it was trying to load a video ad and couldn’t get it started. The only way to get out of it was to close the game down and restart it. That is until yesterday… when I close the game and try to restart it, it just opens back to the black screen. I’ve restarted the game several times, made sure the app was completely closed out, shut down & restarted my iPad several times, and even let the app stay open to the black screen for hours hoping that it would close on its on after a time however, nothing happened. I hesitate in deleting and reinstalling it because I would rather not lose the levels achieved. From the recent posts I’ve read, this is not an isolated case and appears to be tied to a recent update. I hope the developers are busy working on the problem and will have an update to fix it very soon and please fix it so we don’t lose our current progress, coins or points. If you can fix the problem I will update the rating.

Recently, nearly every time I complete a game, it wants me to submit my name for, I’m not sure what. There is no way to get out of that screen except to submit my name, or turn off my device and start it up again. Then I play another game or 2 and that comes up again. I just want to play the game. I don’t care about statistics, scores or tournaments. Please just let me play one game after another by allowing me to exit that “submit” screen. Otherwise, I will stop playing & delete the game. There are plenty of similar games. Update: I started playing this on my iPhone instead of my iPad. The above problem went away. But I often get an ad and can’t get out of it. Clicking done or X doesn’t work. Today when I opened the game a screen came up about tournament results. Nothing happened when I hit “see results” & it won’t X out. The only way I can continue is to turn the phone off & on again. Then soon an ad won’t close & I have to turn it off & on again, and again..

Too bad I can’t give this game a 0. I’m giving up on an update, so I’m deleting it. Too bad, because I used to really enjoy the game. It’s been so long since this game was last updated that I wish I could give it a 0 rating! It’s been weeks, if not months, since I could last play this game. If I could, I would give it 0 stars! This game STILL hasn’t been updated! What gives?! I had originally given this game four stars (see original post below), but am downgrading my rating because it’s taking the developer so long to add additional levels. I’ve paid extra to be able to play more, but so far my money is being wasted. No fair! I enjoy this game very much, but I HATE being hassled repeatedly to “show them some love.” I continue to give this game a four-star rating, but am seriously considering dropping it to three stars because of this hassle.
