Words & Ladders Wiki

I am enjoying the game quite a lot, but there are some things I would like to see improved. The character piece on the board doesn’t appear to be customizable. It would be nice if you could swap out the character and color, and maybe different outfits or skins for them as well. These could be items earned in the game from achievements. Also, I am having trouble getting a game started with my friends. I clicked to invite them to play and it sent them a link to get the game, but it does not actually set up a game with me once they have the game. I don’t see any button to start a game with friends and have only played with random people so far. Please consider adding a friend list and an easy way to start games with friends.

The game is great but you don’t have a place to report errors with the questions. There was a photo of the cat from Secret Life of Pets and her name is Chloe but the game said Cleo and that is wrong. Also for wall-e it was a space of six instead of five and when I got the answer wrong it told me that the answer was wall.e but there is no period key in the game so no one can answer it. I think you need to add an area where people can report errors because mistakes happen and it gives you a chance to be more accurate without having to go over the whole game again and again.

I love the idea of having chutes and ladders set up with a guessing game to accompany it. However, many times I’ve found that there are multiple possible answers to the clues which fit the number of letters required. This makes the game quite frustrating as it has only one possible answer programmed but if you input one and not the other it counts it as wrong even though you are technically correct. (E.g. the hint is Persian Gulf Emirate, five letters: this could be either Qatar or Dubai, but only one is programmed to be correct. In order to know which they are referring to, you would have to spend coins to find out the first letter, which is not always possible.) Thus, the idea is cool, but the bugs often make for an unpleasant experience. I may end up deleting this app if there continues to be an excessive number of them.

My title speaks for itself, I really like the game, but there are way too many ads! Please create an ad-free version of this game! The ads are so overkill that it almost makes you want to delete the game. My other frustration with this game is that the hints are very cryptic and hard to guess the answer to. I realize that’s part of the challenge, but some of them are just ridiculous. Another problem I am finding is that there are sometimes more than one possible or acceptable answers to each hint, but they aren’t accepted. It would be nice too if incorrect spelling was accepted as long as it still fills the spaces and is close to the correct spelling. The game is a fun idea, but lots of things to improve! Glad to see I’m not the only person noticing some of the issues.

I really like this game! It helps you refresh your mind and train your brain daily; also helps you work on your spelling. Some riddles are easy, and some will surprise you and you know it but just can't remember, so it gets frustrating ; but at least they give you a chance by watching ads for less than 30sec and it can be really annoying, or use coins so you don't lose your turn. I hope it can be even more challenging by adding additional obstacles and have something more fun to do while waiting for your turn. ...Update on my reviews... I'm giving it 3 stars now! The question " Born out of wedlock" and really?!? I did answer B-A-S-T-A-R-D but was so surprised and disgusted that it's even included! That is inappropriate for a game rated 4+ Please remove that!

This game is ok but could be better and more fun if it was tweaked. You play an opponent and it takes time to go back and forth only for a win that grants you 26 coins for a win. It’s like huh?? Each clue costs 25 coins so to win so little coins it’s not worth it. The side game called wheel is a crack up as well. You have to guess five words per round with subpar clues and if you finally get all five you win ten coins! Oh my! So worth it, not!! It’s in need of help for sure. I like the main idea of this game because I’m good at spelling, but if you’re not don’t bother. In this game the player must not only guess an answer but spell it out correctly. Do to win little bonus Magee it boring.

It’s a great game and it has lots of potential. It does, however still need a lot of work. For instance-I’d like to know what the answers are when I get something wrong. Also, like one of the other reviewers mentioned: some questions have more than one answer and you can only figure out the first letter by using coins- which there aren’t enough of. I’d also like to know how many games I’ve lost vs how many I’ve won, etc. Also, some of the questions are beyond vague (like one or two words) and you have no idea what the answer could be. Keep up the good work though-this game is very entertaining.

If you buy clues letter by letter you won’t have time to actually spell a longer word. You’ve then wasted your coins. If you attempt a second time, you may get “ghost” letters that aren’t visible. Again, a wasted coin or two until you realize you won’t be able to see the letters. Multiple possible answers on questions are frustrating when you choose the wrong one. I’ve actually verified several online just to make sure my answer wasn’t incorrect. Lots of ads to progress through a turn or get a “free” question become overwhelming

I love the game. It’s like sautés and ladders with a word game. Me and my girlfriend was playing for awhile until she realized we could compete on our own devices. Tried to send an invite to my friends and family but when I tap invite the bike shows like it’s going to load but does nothing. It won’t let me do it and I’ve tried restarting my device, uninstalling the app and redownloading it. Nothing worked. Also it would be nice to have an option if we get the answer wrong to show the correct answer. Thanks

I can’t find anywhere else to inform the problem I’ve experienced the past few days. It is working normally for the first few answers. After three correct answers, the game stalls after the next spin/move. I spin, the character moves, and then it hangs up. No question, no way to even leave the screen. In have to cancel the app which resets the game back to 1-1. I have two games started that are both doing the same thing. After half a dozen attempts to move past this stage, I’m done.

The game is fun, the concept is so cool. The first time two times I played, it was almost too easy. I flew through the matches. After that it was nearly impossible to play. I like challenging games, but this is downright hard. Guessing words like crossword puzzles at least have context or one letter to get you started- but these clues are super vague, extremely specific (not general trivia knowledge, like enthusiast knowledge) can have multiple answers, or don’t make any sense. I don’t want the game handed to me, but either a given letter, being able to guess a few times before the timer runs out, or maybe even a stated theme to the card would make this game more enjoyable and less “High-School-AP-test-study-guide”-y.

Love the cute, bouncy characters, but there are too few chances to earn coins, and without knowing the first letter of the only acceptable word when several words are possible, it is not fun! The “free” coins are not free! I must listen to loud ads for games I would never choose to waste time on. Today, though I tried several times for free coins, it was not working properly...thus, no coins. Furthermore, when I miss a clue and supply a wrong, though correct answer, I don’t learn the “right” answer according to the game. I have spent a week with the game and am close to dumping it. It is a frustrating experience! I must be stretching my brain and learning to spend time playing! Please fix!!!!!😞

You will have already played your turn, winning the match even, and the game will send you a notification that it is your turn to play, minutes after. Most FRUSTRATING, because the server chooses when to tell you it’s your turn, even if it is days after the person has played. Why they don’t have a time limit to play???? So multiple games become frustrating waiting for your turn, especially when you’re winning and the other player just wont play their turn. Worse, the server all at once tells you it’s your turn in games that had been days in waiting. THE COST OF THE GAMES do not match up to the earnings! You don’t win enough coins even if you have back to back wins! I have been playing for years and can’t get above 1,000 coins, it costs way too much for ONE letter. The game has become tedious....

Don’t bother. The initial game or two will be fun, and then the clues become so ridiculously esoteric (New York Times Crossword level esoteric) there is no way you will be able to guess. So, you will use coins for hints and letters, but then you will run out. And, of course, you can’t earn very many coins playing the game. If that’s not enough, the ad revenue must be off the charts, so why should I have to be subjected to advertising at every turn AND be made to purchase coins? Finish a turn? Watch a video. Daily bonus? Watch a video. Get an extra chance? Watch a video. The game is designed to push you to the store to buy, buy, buy. Don’t bother. Just say bye, bye, bye, and delete.
