Fun game, updated it in good faith which was a big mistake. Now i get 5 second long, loud!! video ads after EVERY turn. I don't mind ads, but absolutely hate the video ads that instantly play with sound on. Before updating the ads weren't this bad. I very much regret updating the app. Edit: I'm close to uninstalling. The sheer amount of ads is obnoxious and unbearable, unskippable ads after every turn, can be 3 ads per minute! Awful, sucks the joy out of it.

I've been playing this game pretty much daily for the past year. Unfortunately I don't think I'll play much after the latest update. I'll eventually get use to the slick new layout where the letters at he bottom of the screen are too small. But the new hint feature really ruins it for me. The joy is in playing cleverly to beat your opponent but now they can just use hints to win easily. Unless we get a feature where you can choose whether to play with help or not, I will have to stop playing.

Hi Bianca, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're not fond of the new update.. Please keep in mind that Power-ups very rarely (if ever) cause a player to win. They are for players that struggle to solve difficult puzzles on the board, so not everyone has to use them. Other than that Kryss is the same as it always has been! Best, Kryss

I play this game everyday for 5 years now and I like it a lot. As a non native English speaker, it allows me to learn new terms and expand my vocabulary. Opponants are nice and for example I play with the same one for them for 4 years now! I only wish they create more new grids including UK English, not only American English. Thank you very much for providing fun for free and keep it up!
