Knotwords Hack 1.0.19 + Redeem Codes

I was getting very frustrated with this game, especially Friday - Sunday, when it got exceedingly more difficult, the hints were either too easy or impossible, and I was spending waaaaayyy too much time trying to figure it out, time which I really didn’t suppose to be using trying to get that days’ answer. My sister let me know about a feature I did not have enabled where you she got immediate feedback on whether the word she had entered was the right one or not. How nice is that?! I don’t spend endless amount of time trying to figure out the puzzle when a word (or more) has been entered incorrectly. I don’t need the hints anymore (which I actually miss using. Ha!) I still get a challenge, especially on the weekends, but the puzzle is now doable. Maybe I’ll get so good at it, that I’ll go back without getting that instant feedback, but for now, it’s nice to enjoy playing the games, without that little voice telling me there’s other things I need to be doing.

I really enjoy this game! It’s very challenging, but soluble with persistence. Haven’t used any hints yet!
There are some things that need improvement, though. The spelling is off sometimes. Sometimes an “s” is added to a word that doesn’t take one - for example “ares” - maybe it’s meant to be Ares, the god of war - but this would break the general rule of word games that they don’t use proper names. There are also some verbs that an “s” is added to, but which don’t have this form. The most annoying one is in May Puzzle Book #23 in which all my words check positive except for ax! Ax is the currently accepted spelling (not axe).
I’m also find how the active blank space in a word is shown in the puzzle (I’m playing on an iPad Pro). The color of the space is a darker hue than the other spaces, but the contrast is not good enough to make it obvious which space the letter you enter will go in. It would be better if the active space was another color altogether.
These annoyances don’t take away from the overall game, but I should would like to see them fixed!

This is the best word game to come along since EA gave up on Scabble. Well-designed user interface. Phenomonally rare privacy policy -- no data collected! There are three simple, easy-to-find settings in the app. My only quibble lies here. So-called "music" is full volume by default. IMO let those who actually like such a racket turn it on. It has no settings in the device menu. I was expecting "use cellular data" , but it appears everything is included in the unusually large download. It does appear under "Siri", where I turn off everything for all apps. Many an app I download, I delete within sixty seconds. This is a keeper.

Update after much use: This is strongly addictive for fans of word games. The three dailies are now part of my morning routine. I started the monthly book for the current month and finished all sixty puzzles in one week. (Did I say it's addictve?)

Just now dug into the archives and discovered -- and fixed -- my early failures. Now I'm working backward through previously untried games. (Did I say it's addictve? Good thing I'm retired!)

Only nit: Cursor movement is confusing, especially when backspacing to fix an error. Toggling between the two entry modes toggles the confusion mode as well. Not bad enough to deduct a star, but be alert! The world needs more lerts.

I really like this game, controls are intuitive, concept is well thought out and even better executed, the presentation is nothing less than what I’ve come to expect from Zach Gage games. All that said, I think 12 dollars (or a subscription service) is a little steep for a mobile game. I beat every available puzzle and daily puzzle up until this review in just under a day. I’d at least like the option to maybe watch ads to continue playing or unlock other content. Even if the cost were only .99 cents I’d have a hard time giving this a 5 because (so far) all the puzzles are time locked (so daily/monthly levels rather than everything all at once) which still would mean that I wouldn’t be allowed to play once I beat the paid content. I really like supporting smaller devs and I’ve enjoyed every single other Zach Gage game almost to its fullest but this sitting next to the almost infinite levels of Good Sudoku

I truly enjoy this game and find it very fun. It’s a great way to start each day with a mini and classic challenge but I agree with many of the other reviews. Text input (and backspacing) seems to be very unintuitive and a bit disruptive with where it chooses to go. Also, the subscription/full price is a bit steep though I do understand… it’s interesting that you only get the first 10 puzzles for the month but I guess that keeps you coming back more for the daily puzzles. Speaking of wish, I really wish we got to do just 1 twisty puzzle a day. Additional tidbits - Don’t like double tapping to get into puzzles. Wish we could silence the rabbit. Would love to see what the color/theme options are as well as what the Daily Twist looks like before throwing up a pay screen. I would never buy something I can’t see or test out first. Finally, sharing to Facebook only shares a link to the game, unlike Twitter which shares a picture of the puzzle (preferable) 🧩

What I love about this game are the times the puzzles are simple enough that I can solve then using an intuitive technique where I make quick guesses about letters around the board and then work the puzzle out in nice big chunks until I bring it all together for a speedy, satisfying finish. But as the puzzles get harder throughout the week, it gets harder to play using that method. The game becomes more and more about agonizing over something specific, and the joy just gets sucked right out of it. Sometimes I'm even reduced to asking for a hint...talk about depressing. It's like it's not even the same game by the time Sunday comes around. I've stopped even trying to play harder puzzles. My rating is based only on the part I enjoy.

This game is fun and challenging. My only complaint is the flow is not smooth. You think you are typing one direction for a word but the game jumps to the wrong box. So you end up having to tap the game a lot to get to the box you want or delete a lot. It’s clumsy at least in my hands. I have tried all the settings as well and none are perfect. I would say it is similar to a crossword with the across and down but in most crosswords, you tap the word you are working on- if it’s the wrong direction, you tap again and it then it switches directions and stays that way. This game, you have to keep taping the next box you have to fill in some cases. It’s frustrating. Also, for the bigger puzzles, a clear button would be great cause deleting every entry runs into what I described above and can be cumbersome. Going to still play cause it’s fun but potential improvement?

I really like this game. I played Wordscapes, but it got too repetitive and predictable. I like how the puzzles are simple on Monday and get harder throughout the week. I don’t play much Scrabble, so some words are challenging. I also really, really appreciate that you can make up for broken streaks.
I only wish there was better review of the words. I can accept “hes” as a contraction lacking an apostrophe, but I have issues with “tomatos”. Seems to me to be a misspelled plural rather than, maybe, a possessive form? The added “e” wouldn’t have impacted the rest of the puzzle at all. There was no excuse for “fibia” in a body parts puzzle. Nope, not a body part, or anything else. Even my funky autocorrect knows better. The lower bones of the leg are tibia and fibula, folks!
I will definitely keep playing. Glitches are very rare, and enjoyment is frequent.

I really enjoy this game! There have been a couple of times where all of my words are actual words but like two vowels are switched to make two different words so it won’t finish off the puzzle. there’s no way to find it without randomly switching letters from actual words to other actual words which is a little annoying, but that doesn’t happen often. My biggest peeve right now is I started playing the three different games at different times so my streaks were different numbers. after a few months, I decided I’d rather start over and have all of my streaks be on the same day, so I skipped a day and then when I started playing again, it’s like- play for seven more days to reinstate your streaks! And that’s exactly what I don’t want to happen.🙈

Update: “dived” is not in my dictionary ((Jan 2023)

Although, like many, I find this app addictive I have one major complaint. Today there was the word “carns” which is not found in my dictionaries. Maybe it is some dialectic variation on “cairns”, but still not fair. Also the developers use many other very obscure words, and apparently allow names and not words, inconsistently. I’m sure I will keep my streaks going and do appreciate being able to recover a streak by completing a new week of puzzles. You too may get addicted but beware of some of the pitfalls and word derivatives repeatedly used by the developers. Also please double-check your definition/dictionary. Today’s definition for “oysters”: plural form of oyster… “A large and often winding stream which drains a land mass…”. It goes on to further describe a river or stream but not a bivalve in any way. Wrong! Careless, causing confusion and bad time counts. Shame!
