Detailed Review

Wordle! by Lion Studios Plus presents a mobile adaptation of the popular word puzzle format, positioning itself within the crowded word game market through multiple gameplay modes and daily challenges. The iOS application maintains the core mechanics of guessing five-letter words within six attempts, while expanding upon the original concept with additional features and monetization systems. The application's primary Daily Puzzle mode faithfully recreates the viral word game experience with color-coded feedback (yellow for correct letters in wrong positions, green for correct placement). Beyond this core mode, the app incorporates additional puzzle variations and a progression system tied to collectible coins. These coins can be earned through gameplay or purchased, primarily used for hint systems that reveal letters when players encounter difficulty. The interface employs a clean, minimalist design with tactile keyboard interactions and smooth animations that enhance the puzzle-solving experience. User experience varies significantly based on device compatibility and update cycles. Recent user reports indicate potential stability issues following updates, with studiomusicgal reporting on August 28, 2025 that the application 'freezes when you try to play' after the latest update. However, the general interface receives praise for its intuitive design, with Kekesurfs noting on July 5, 2025 that it's 'a very fun and relaxing game' with optional ad viewing for currency rewards rather than forced advertisements. User feedback reveals divided opinions on the game's dictionary and monetization approach. Multiple five-star reviews from July and August 2025 praise the limited advertisements and engaging gameplay, with Free fun and cool stating on July 4, 2025 that 'there are very few adds and it is a fun puzzle.' However, Miaaaaaa333's August 2, 2025 review highlights concerns about word validity, requesting removal of 'acronyms (example: snafu) and shortened abbreviations' from the solution bank. The 4.5763 rating reflects generally positive reception tempered by technical and design criticisms. The application succeeds as an accessible word puzzle game with strong core mechanics but faces challenges regarding dictionary curation and update stability. Its strengths lie in the faithful recreation of the viral word game experience with additional modes, while limitations include inconsistent word validation and potential technical issues following updates. The app serves best as a casual daily puzzle activity for players who enjoy word games but don't mind occasional technical interruptions or expanded vocabulary requirements.

Update: I changed rating from 2 stars after update seemed to fix the endless ads. I understand the need for ads. Used to be before or after a game, now it is every 2 guesses and more. Don’t know if I’ll keep playing…. Ads Ads Ads Update: I changed rating from 2 stars after update seemed to fix the endless ads. I understand the need for ads.

Wordle is the best game!! It doesn’t have any adds and it is free. It also gets you thinking, so if you are on a break from school or your job, you can still think but it is fun. I think this is a great game and it keeps you thinking. Great game Wordle is the best game!! It doesn’t have any adds and it is free.

I love the game, but sometimes the adds on my iPad don’t let me back into the game once they play. I don’t mind the adds because I’m cheap, but goodness, couldn’t it be a bit better.
