The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users expressing frustration over the excessive and lengthy ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players feel that the $9.99 fee to remove ads is too high for the content offered, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. While some appreciate the option to play a daily puzzle without ads, the overall sentiment is that the ad frequency and duration significantly detract from the gaming experience.
“Great base game and very reasonable monetization system.”
“The best thing about this game is its simplicity, no in-app purchases and other stuff.”
“Fun and no ads even shows definitions of words.”
“The game is good, but having to watch ads every time is a little annoying...”
“It's a ripoff of the actual Wordle game; heavily loaded with ads & $10 to remove them, you can almost have the same game.”
“Too many ads for a game that says words aren't in the dictionary... and I'm using a dictionary to find words when I can't think of any with certain letter placements. Good game concept, awful execution.”
