“the amount of Ads is ridiculous, I either have to watch an Ad after every turn or pay to have the Ads removed. There also needs to be better dispersion of letters. Aside from these issues I agree with the other reviews the game is nice to…”

What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
1 theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
The catch list 1
Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.
Reported by users: Aggressive ad load
Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
What we saw: Raised by 118 distinct reviewers — 11.6% of the 1,013 reviews scanned on this store leg (Google Play).
Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“Too many ads to remain interested. Ad before the crossword, during the crossword and after. Too many. Usually wouldn't mind paying for ad free, but not for £17.99”
“Way way to many ads. They come up after every play if not more often. It also gives me a system error on occasion.”
