The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being bombarded with long, unskippable ads after nearly every puzzle, which detracts significantly from the overall experience. While some users understand the need for ads in a free game, the frequency and length of these ads, along with the pressure to purchase in-game currency, have led to frustration and a desire for a more balanced approach to monetization.
- “The in-app purchases are optional, but there are free ways to earn more coins.”
- “No ads to interrupt and plenty of free puzzles to solve!”
- “Great passer of time and not always trying to make you make in-app purchases.”
- “I know ads are a necessary evil of most of these games, but running a full screen ad at full volume that you can't back out of is unnecessary and a reason to uninstall.”
- “The amount of ads continuously bombarding you, some as long as 20-30 seconds, is ridiculous and has killed my interest in the game.”
- “The excessive number of ads makes this otherwise nice app horrible.”

The stability of the app is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, crashing, and glitches that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience delays and unresponsiveness, particularly during ads or after extended play sessions, leading to frustration and the need to restart the app or even the device. While some users enjoy the game when it functions properly, the pervasive technical issues have resulted in a lower overall rating and a desire for improvements from the developers.
- “Runs smoothly with no glitches.”
- “It always works great, no glitches.”

The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the inability to turn off persistent background music and intrusive ads that disrupt their listening experience. While some enjoy the variety of music-themed puzzles, others criticize the overwhelming focus on specific pop culture references and the lack of relevant content in themed crosswords. Overall, the game's music features are seen as a significant drawback, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the gameplay.
- “There are pop culture clues including the most recent musicians, movies, DJs, and events.”
- “I actually enjoy the game, but the fact that it allows ads that ignore that I have selected sound off, meaning in the middle of a game I have a loud song blaring through with no easy way to silence it, is unacceptable.”
- “Creative puzzles with new clues and a lot of music lovers puzzles.”
- “I really liked it in the beginning, but now a stupid song starts playing halfway through a puzzle and you can't turn it off in the game. Fix that, and I'll change my rating; otherwise, I'll quit. I've been playing for a few years, and the new song sucks.”
- “I actually enjoy the game, but the fact that it allows ads that ignore my sound settings, meaning in the middle of a game I have a loud song blaring through with no easy way to silence it, is unacceptable.”
- “Please fix the obnoxious music that will not go away no matter what I do.”

The story aspect of the game is largely absent, with players expressing frustration over the quest system that feels tedious and unrewarding. Many users report that quests require excessive in-game currency to participate, often resulting in a net loss of coins, and they find the lack of meaningful rewards diminishes the overall experience. While some enjoy the crossword puzzles themselves, the quest mechanics and frequent technical issues detract from the enjoyment, leading to a sense of monotony and dissatisfaction.
- “I admit I'm enjoying the puzzles, and the quests make it more enjoyable, because they make more puzzles available to solve.”
- “Very doable crossword puzzles, I like the global rankings, fun story to keep up with the best players.”
- “Very educational and challenging at times... it keeps me wanting to play more and completing each quest more and more.”
- “The quests are pointless as well as the ranking prizes.”
- “It costs more coins to play through the 50 puzzle quests than you can win for completing.”
- “I would have rated more, but the quests that run Sunday to Sunday have put me back to level 1 again, and I have to redo the whole quest.”
