The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, particularly after each level, which disrupts gameplay.

“This game was fantastic until the recent update where ads play after every game.”

Gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some players enjoying its engaging and challenging nature, while others find it frustrating due to lengthy animations and changes in progression mechanics that require online shopping for coins. The introduction of new gameplay elements at each level is seen as both a positive and a source of irritation, and while the graphics and sound are praised, the overall experience can be hindered by pacing issues. Despite these criticisms, many players appreciate the combination of various gameplay styles and the overall fun factor.
“Gameplay is compelling, challenges come along just as you're ready for them, a real wordy workout.”
“Languinis word game is so awesome looking game and the controller is your fingers or your stylus and gameplay is awesome to great for all ages the graphics are awesome adventure finding words to match awesome game love it.”
“The sound effects are great and the gameplay is very engaging.”
“Gameplay started getting annoying around level 24 or so.”
“I like it enough to stick with it a while and see whether the irritation factor decreases... the instructions are clear but a quick tutorial at the start might have been less annoying than the drip feed method of introducing new gameplay at each level.”
“The graphic overhaul is good; however, gameplay has now been affected since you decided to do away with daily chests to reach the weekly goal of bronze, silver, and gold. It now requires you to 'shop' for coins and requires online gameplay to progress.”
