Many users have opted to mute the game entirely, preferring to listen to their own music while playing. Overall, the music aspect is criticized for its non-existence, contributing to a lack of replay value.
“Still no music, though...”
“There are no graphics to speak of, and I couldn't say much about the sound (I turn down the volume and listen to music in almost all of my games). The bad... it has no replay value.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to the increased complexity of linking longer names in a constrained grid. While some suggest utilizing hints to achieve specific goals, the overall sentiment indicates that the grinding process can feel cumbersome and frustrating.
“Now that names are getting longer (e.g., 13-letter flower names like spathiphyllum), linking letters together has become a tedious chore, as crossing a square grid diagonally has become more difficult due to smaller squares and minimal space between rows.”
“Grinding for achievements feels more like a chore than a challenge, especially when it requires repetitive tasks that don't add to the enjoyment of the game.”
“The grinding aspect of the game is exhausting; it often feels like I'm just going through the motions without any real sense of progress or reward.”

The game lacks replayability, with users noting that the absence of engaging graphics and sound contributes to a diminished incentive to revisit the experience.
“There are no graphics to speak of, and I can't comment on the sound since I turn down the volume and listen to music while playing most of my games. The downside is that it has no replay value.”
“The game lacks any real incentive to play again after finishing it once. There's nothing new to discover or experience.”
“Once you've completed the game, there's little reason to return. The lack of varied content makes replaying feel tedious.”
