Languinis: Word Puzzle Game Wiki

Let me start out by saying I love this game and I have played them all. It makes other word games plain Jane compared to this. It starts out easy and goes slowly enough in levels that you never feel left behind or that you can’t accomplish the goal. The little guys that run around in the game remind me of the old Lemmings games and are just fun to watch as you work around them. The game combines word searching/creating with solving other types of puzzles, like finding 20 red triangles plus 3 words with the letters S and L in them. The dictionary that is used to see if you have created a viable word is the latest version of the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Since I use this game to help expand my vocabulary, I find this very useful. To the others who find the game frustrating, find an online app that helps you make words out of the available letters to get past the hard areas instead of using the tools. Just check the words these apps make against the Merriam-Webster dictionary before using them in the game. In the long run you’ll expand your word knowledge and it will get you past the levels that are difficult. Is this cheating? No. It’s learning new words that are useful in your everyday life. I highly recommend this game.

I love playing this game but I got to a level that was ridiculously difficult and had been playing it for days. Finally I decided to give in and spend whatever money I needed to to get past it so I bought coins to get extra turns and boosters and within the game I had to buy even more coins at least once. I spent $15 or $20 buying these things and finally got to the point where I only needed about 400 points to win the level (159) but I was out of coins and needed 80 to get five more lives but in the process of making the purchase it blew up and I lost. I think once you commit to making a purchase they should suspend the 10 seconds they give you to decide if you're going to go on. I'm furious and extremely frustrated and am deleting the app.

I’ve never written an iTunes review, but I feel compelled to for this game. To put things into perspective, I’ve beaten all 900 levels and have 3 stars on about the first 135. All while never having spent a dime. I actually feel a bit guilty because this is such a fun game, and I can tell a lot of work went into making it. Some levels are very difficult, and with randomness being, well, random, you are not going to succeed on the first try every time. Power ups can help, and some times you need to save up some coins which can easily be done by checking in every day as well as by other means. Thank you to the team who made this game, I’ve been enjoying it for over two years now.

I really love this game & hv played for a long time & hv dealt wth the game messing up here or there or it not paying rewards right but now for the last month in continually being knock out of the game even right as ive completed needed goals to move on in the game & whn i get bak on im still on the same level as if ive nevr played tht level but my extras tht ive used in tht game isnt returned so their jst lost i guess. Now for the last 3-4days as soon as i begin a game im able to 2 or 3 actions or make a couple words thn im knock out of the game. I really hope u guys are able to fix whtevr problems causing ths cause im really ready to jst uninstall & delete ths game. Thnk u!☹️😞

This is definitely challenging in that it makes you be more creative as it requires longer words. Glad it's not timed ... sometimes I have to try and use strategy in getting the colored tiles lined up to be the most help in finishing the game, if you want to do it the first go around. Have to admit I did one level at least 6-7 times before I realized it pays to take your time unless you like repeating games. Very entertaining and will stick with it as long as I'm not spending money. Somebody is getting rich off our hard earned money and I had to put a stop to some other games already.

I absolutely love this game and have been playing it for almost two years, the last update screwed everything up and I’ve had nothing but problems. The game hasn’t worked in three weeks, I have contacted them at least 10 times about the issues and have gotten jerked around and received no answers or help. I have provided them with the information they asked for along with screen shots etc Poor customer service and support. It’s too bad because I really love this game and used to look forward to playing it whenever I had a free moment

I love this game, very challenging. I got to a higher level and at first started buying coins but I just can’t do that...if I have to quit playing I will.....can’t spend my money on that. However the main problem is that now the game crashes every few minutes. There is one particular ad that ALWAYS freezes so anytime that one shows up, I just go ahead and restart it myself. But now it is at the point that the whole game just stops with no warning. I tried deleting it and downloading it again, but now it is worse than ever. I can’t get it to work for even one whole game. I have tried restarting my IPad but that didn’t help. I don’t want to stop playing but I don’t know what else to do.

Based on the level I have reached, I have been playing this game for quite some time. I have completed every level with three stars. I have spent some money on this game. I thought that every level could be beat without spending money. That is until level 599. Simple level it seems. Get "x" amount of points and get 8 words that contain the letter U. Except with using the extra letter power up I have only gotten 4 words. I've been playing this level for weeks. The amount of U's given is absurd. I refuse to spend money on this game. It's a fun, challenging game but this level is unbearable without obtaining coins and power ups. I have yet to see more than four U's for this round. Instead of deleting the negative reviews, comment on why this is. Another issue is the daily spin. I have accumulated so many power ups that are unusable. Why have these if the levels for usage don't exist. This game started out so good. Yet, like a lot of others, attempts to get you to spend more money than should be to beat a level. There are so many challenging word games out there that aren't nickel and diming you. This is just another game that is asking for too much in my opinion.

I agree with so many other reviewers who say the game is fun, but terribly rigged and too many ads! It hasn’t been crashing on me, but it consistently fails to give me credit for the last level I complete before force closing the game each day. The next day, I open the game, and it makes me repeat the last level I beat! Very frustrating, especially on levels that are impossible to beat without using a bunch of power ups. I wrote to the developers, and they gave me the same song and dance as everyone else— i must have an old version, I need to update, need to force close, blah blah blah. They said they don’t keep track of our progress unless we log in on Facebook to play! Well, screw that, I refuse to play games through Facebook. They don’t need to collect and sell any more of my personal data than they already do. I had been playing the game for about a year when something happened and it started me back on level one. Developers told me that wouldn’t have happened if I played through Facebook. Sorry guys, not gonna happen.

I can't argue that this game is fun, unique, addicting, etc. but you must have coins to beat certain levels and earn 3 suns. The only way to earn coins is by signing in everyday and on the 5th, 10th & 15th day you are rewarded with coins. I just hit 15, I'm curious to see if it restarts. I think this is an ingenious idea for marketing this game, so why cheat players by withholding tiles & letters so blatantly when there are 2 moves left. Also, there is a level on each Island that is almost impossible to beat without purchasing coins. Charge for the game instead. More importantly fix the crashing, freezing and other bugs where you instantly lose p-ups and coins. I’ve deleted the game again which is too bad- it’s an all time favorite. I need to remind myself, “This game has not changed, do not give it another chance.”

I am losing interest in this game when almost every other game I lose a point because the game does not recognize a common word that most educated people would know. I know how to report the words. I just find it tiresome to continually have to “send suggestions for new words” when these are neither new nor should they be suggestions. They have been a part of the English language for years. It is obvious the people who are running this game are not language or word fanatics. They reply to my requests for a running tally of the words that I have “suggested” and the outcome with instructions of how to send words to them that the game has previously deemed “not words”. It is a fun challenging game without the hassle and poor support. That however overshadows the fun. I will find another game.

So I just scrolled thru all if the reviews and I REALLY can’t believe how many people are experiencing the same issues and like me don’t even get a response back much less credited and made right for all that is lost from repeated app crashes, having to restart phone, following the directions given in help area on game in app, etc. and then to be completely ignored by support staff. If you do get a response it , for me at least, is always the standard we’re here to help (not true) and please provide us (do our job for us) with answers to these umpteen questions. Questions that are repeatedly asked for. So much so that it’s to the point I just give up. I am truly dumbfounded by this since from the other complaints that I’ve read here, it sounds as if we are all players who invested not only our time in your game (which by the way I do truly love playing) but our hard earned money. This is the one and only game I’ve EVER spent money on and it will also be the last. The developers and their paid support staff should be ashamed of their selves quite frankly. I don’t expect for one second to get a response from this but it sure felt good to lay it all out. I did take note if the couple of people who stated their negative reviews were wiped. I will take that to heart and keep a copy of this. I will repost it everyday if need be.

This little game was my all time favorite go to game to de-stress and just to pass the time....but the farther you get into the game the more money has to be spent in order to pass one particular level.....not just a world/island or whatever, just one game around an island.... I wish this was an app that could have been purchased as a one time thing or even perhaps a decent priced monthly subscription.... Unfortunately, I cannot afford to buy coins every time a level asks for words to be spelled with two or three particular letters and so many leaves and gems must be obtained and save a Languini!!! Sadly I am now looking for a new game to play....😔 I have wasted way too much money already on this one and in order to advance in the game I have to pay more.... I do not mind paying for a game that I enjoy playing.... I mean this game even has ads and everything AND STILL have to shell out money because some levels are impossible to pass without buying extra coins and things.... It is a great little game but as I said earlier I cannot afford to shell out five bucks every time I get stuck.... and I have done it in the past... but no more.... I am now looking for another word game to play..... Any suggestions?????

It would be nice if the developers of Languinis would read and respond to the the people who bother to write reviews. This is not the Languinis I have enjoyed for the past 4 years. This is a juvenile version that has been bought out by ads. Please bring back the Daily Bonus Grid! It was so nice because you knew every 5 days you would be getting some coins, on the 20th day possibly 50 coins. Now the only way is to do the Lucky Spin thing and I have only gotten coins from that twice and only 5 coins each time. I have been told there is a Treasure chest that they put instead of the Daily Reward Grid, but it never has coins, then the chest opens, shows the reward asks if you want to watch an ad to double the reward; Many times it will just say "Ad Server Not Available", so you get nothing. I refuse to buy coins. It just isn’t worth it. I have also NOT updated two of my devices, waiting for the developers to appreciate those of us who have enjoyed Languinis in the past. Please just go back to the previous graphics and Daily Reward Grid. Update glitches and bugs, but keep Languinis fun, classy, and challenging. Not childish, frustrating and greedy.
