Word Academy for Android
I had previously rated this game a five for reasons you can see below. But the further I get, I get stuck on levels because there are typos in the puzzle that keep me from moving on. I use the correct letter, I'm stuck , I use the letter available, I'm stuck. So, I can no longer move on. From my favorite & most helpful game, to a sad loss. It's helping me to re-learn words and sharpen my mind, since losing some function medically. Thank you☺
Uodate 2: Beware, this game is not compatible with Android 7. Dropping rating to 1. It just flashes and flashes. I cleared cache and restarted my phone 3 times. No luck! I uninstall the game and reinstalled the game and it works now but I lost everything 46000 points! I hate this game! Update: Dropped rating down to 3. I got to Mad Scientist level with 42,920 pts and now it will not allow me to purchase hints. No problem with other apps with in-game purchases. Very disappointing. 1st review. Sage level with 33,540 points. The game is challenging at the higher levels, but I don't like that you have to buy hints.
Played this for a day and a half. Got To ghost level and ran out of hints. I refuse to buy more so I will be uninstalling it shortly. Loved it while I had it. Why not offer 3 hints for watching an ad or something? I am SO sick of apps that are so limiting.
Love the challenge especially of the harder levels as you work up. I smile at some of the comments I've read... "give us a clue as to the topic" - that's part of the challenge people... figuring out what connects to the first word you find! I do agree that the hint button needs to be smaller or somewhere else... it's very easy to accidentally hit when you don't intend to. Our move the reset button to not beside it. The idea of other ways to get hints is good. I don't buy any hints, I just wait until I finally figure it out. Sometimes I leave it alone for a few days to a few weeks and come back to it when I'm out of hints. Eventually I always get it. Patience... I'm on whatever level comes after Empress. (Didn't look before posting this review...)
Great fun. Very handy if you have problems sleeping. A couple of minutes of hard concentration and most brains will long for the easy way out. Edit: YETI pack level 15 is unsolvable. Check it and fix it please
I enjoy the game in itself.. the only issue I have is once you've used your hints and have either posted to Facebook or download another game just to get hints and you run out.. You're pretty much stuck unless you buy hints. Need another way to obtain more hints
LOTS of fUn! Word Academy is a bLAst =) it's refreshing! :) it's NOT so difficult it makes your head hurt, but having to do everything in a certain order and make different combinations makes you think a little harder than your usual word games. All put together it's a delightful twist ;)
An OK game but a bit boring about not very challenging as the words are very short. But a good game for kids and non English speakers. It's not my favorite game but it accomplishes what it sets out to, which is to educate people.
Pretty good. Only problem is that it doesn't tell you if it's impossible to solve if you do the words out of order. In the beginning that's fine but once you get to six by six or seven by seven grids it can be frustrating.
Well, I've made it to Adventurer-6, so far. Note the fine print under each word puzzle stating the % of players who hv figured it out -- I don't know if it's accurate, tho, since I've been working on puzzles w/ "0.00%" for the last few levels... Words on all puzzles re:each other in some way; go to device's "Settings"->"Sound" to change volume in app; &yes, words ARE spelled correctly (w/only 1 uncommon word used in an early level)... Catch me if u can! Haha! ;)
Easy at first then as you go thru the levels it gets harder & I really enjoy the challenge!! I get rewarded extra 'hints' as I solve puzzles & complete levels which I then save it & use when it gets really hard! I find this game fun & challenging!
Super fun, in a nerdy way. Makes me feel old and stupid sometimes when my brain can't figure out a simple game.
Needs give us a hint of what you talking about.. unlike putting a bunch of letters that can make other unrelated words
I love this game. I had been playing Word Brain for awhile but I like this much better. It started out way too easy but it has gotten challenging and keeps my brain exercised
It's great. Makes you think and challenges the brain. Might be something everyone should get and do on a regular basis. I'm doctor but I think it could improve brain power
Works well on my s2. I do spend a lot of time trying to guess the shortest word by trail and error which can get a bit frustrating but i have come back to this game several times over the last 18 months so it must be ok
Starts off easy enough for young children, but gradually it becomes more difficult. Graphics are simple enough but make the game play more fun. I enjoyed this game over wordbrain.
Very good challenging game. Only 1 problem so far that I didn't get 3 hints at the end of completing one of the levels!
Got new phone lost all the hints I purchased and was told too bad. Too bad I liked the app but there are plenty others out there that don't rip you off.
I really liked the game until it stopped working. It would not let me move to the next level.
Ok so far. At the start you have to find just one word even if there's more so it's trying to think of the most obvious one you can. Bit difficult to do words diagonally and it often won't register and makes you think you have the wrong word. You have to try a couple of times to make sure.
Out of many words I have to find specific ones which the developers chose to think of! I hate this limitation. Why can't I put "vase" instead of "save"? Or why not both? Annoying. Uninstalling
The higher you go the more difficult it gets but wont stop playing. My kids love it.
A quiet game to keep your brain active!! Update: it says I've beaten it and I've "graduated". I miss playing it!! Updates????? 2/17/16: graduated again...more updates?? 2/29/16 no updates.
Would love this except now that I have reached hipster there isn't a way to get hints unless you buy them. I will probably delete the game because I can see a future of spending real money.
Love this game! Only thing I don't like is that my game progress can't be transfered from device to device, even though there was an option to synchronize my progress
The game is fine to play. The only thing I would change is the list of accepted words. I found "loop" which was not accepted because it wanted the word"pool"
Not a bad little word game. I found the slide controls a little annoying... But I understand their importance within the meta-game.
Should allow for more hints once you're stuck with no hints that's it. Other than that I really like the game
It's too bad this game wants you to buy hints so early on. I was really enjoying it up to that point.
Great game... would earn a solid 5 if the developers could just move and /or shrink the hint button!! Pleeeease!
Uhhgg!!!...Getting aggrevated. Every time I play my hints keep getting used without me even touching the hint button. I wentbftom 30 hints to only 12 now
I've played word games that are frustrating. This is one I'm happy with
This game really starts off slow and then it starts to get a lttle harder every time and is very difficult...
This is an amazing game, I love it! It's very interesting and fun. You can learn so many things if you play it...
Very challenging.. Tricky questions.. Puzzle of puzzles!!!
Good use of time..... Can be VERY FRUSTRATING!
Love this game!! I find myself getting lost in playing it for hours...
Challenging once you get to higher levels. There should be some sort of theme/subject for each board so you arent just trying to search random words.

This game managed to keep me entertained for months. It can be frustrating when you know the words but can't figure out which identical letters to choose, but that's all part of the puzzle. I'm happy to report that I just completed all of the levels, so it is definitely possible. Keep going!!
