Nostalgia
I loved this game as a child on the Nintendo DS, and now I get to play it on my iPhone! So relaxing and fun.
★★★★positivecinderfire8 · 2025-11-30 · v1.8
Please update for IOS 26 !!!!!
Edit: it’s 11/30/25 & still waiting 4 update plz! I’ve been playing this game since it came out. It’s been seven years since an update it says? I don’t know. I’m not sure what else y’all are working on, but this app really means a lot to me and I played every morning. Please don’t let this app die out
★★★★positivePash123 · 2024-07-13 · v1.8
Great game, but needs an update
I’ve been playing Word Jong for years. I look forward to opening it in the morning to get the new puzzle. I agree with other reviewers that the dictionary needs an update. I’ve tried to play numerous words that come back as “not in the dictionary” (and, yes, they are definitely words in common usage). If it weren’t for that, I’d give it 5 stars.
★★★★negativeIronStarGazette · 2024-04-15 · v1.8
Love this game, but it needs a bug fix!
Word Jong is one of my favorite games! Unfortunately it has been glitching out — upon trying to close the game and return to the menu the app crashes; and when you reopen it, it goes back to a random move in the middle of the last game. The only fix is to delete the app and then redownload it, but then the glitch happens again after a few games. Help! Running a 15 Pro Max on iOS 17.3
★★★★★positivejenda11 · 2023-10-06 · v1.8
Perfect
Great game
★★★★★positivePhyllis Robbins · 2023-03-07 · v1.8
Best Game Ever!
I look forward to the new puzzle every day. Challenging but not impossible, no annoying and repetitive ads, clever graphics. What’s not to love?
★★★★★negativeDIANEEVE · 2021-08-11 · v1.8
Changed
This used to be an engaging game. Now many of the words are foreign syllables or so unusual that Wikipedia doesn’t give a definition ! Disappointed…
★★★★★negativeKdru · 2020-07-12 · v1.8
Good game but...
There are too many words in the English language that this game tells me is “not in dictionary”.

I love this game! Have been playing for years, since before phones, when I played on my Gameboy. I’d like to make a request, though. I have to scroll back month-by-month to get to a game I haven’t played. Would you consider an open field into which a month and year could be searched?
★★★★★positivesyrupqueen · 2019-09-13 · v1.8
Loved this game for years
I’ve been playing word jong since I was a kid and downloading this app definitely took me down memory lane. I’m in love with the unique style and challenges of the game but I would love if they added a few new features. It would be nice to look back at the completed puzzles and see the original score of the challenger and look at the list of words spelled. It would also be cool if we could play online against other players scores to make the game more interactive and fresh. The game is honestly amazing and relaxing to play but with a few new updates and features to keep it fresh It would be that much more incredible.

What dictionary are you using?
Says common words aren’t in dictionary.
★★★★★positiveChDKennedy · 2018-01-11 · v1.8
Great Game, Great Service
I have played WordJong for several years and it is a part of my daily routine. I just got an iPhone X and could not figure how to close the app after a game without a “home” button. It doesn’t swivel when the phone is moved from horizontal to vertical as do many other apps. I couldn’t figure out how to close the app and contacted their Support. They got right back to me and taught me about the “grey bar” that I can swipe from the bottom in either view. Thanks, Gameblend, for your game, for your Support, and for teaching me something about my new iPhone!
★★★★★positiveDaytonaJ · 2017-09-17 · v1.7
I love this!
Word Jong is fantastic. I play it to relax. My only "complaint", and just an ego thing, is that there's no way to see what the highest score was, and by how much I beat it. It only shows the new high score. Lol. I was seriously stressed when the latest update was needed. But you came through, and in addition, made improvements. Well done, and Thank You!
★★★★★positiveJBinPDX · 2017-08-01 · v1.7
Thank you!
I've played this game for years and was so bummed because I thought it would never be updated and I'd have to stop playing. Thanks for the new update! It's perfect now!
★★★★★positivejvoelck · 2017-07-07 · v1.7
THANK YOU!
Dear Developers, Thank you for fixing the Saturday banner block problem and especially for ensuring this game will work with the new iOS update! I've loved this iPhone game for years and now love it even more. I wish I could give it more than 5 Stars; now it's a perfect 10.
★★★★negativeAngelmyne · 2017-06-13 · v1.6
Love but
It badly needs an update to continue working and it needs a sync option across devices.
★★★★positivebryghe · 2017-04-13 · v1.6
Love it
PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE THIS GAME! I just got a notification that it's not going to work at all in future iOS updates. I have played this game for years and love it. I also can't access the Saturday games as someone else mentioned. I'd love to see it updated for the current iOS and for the iPad. Please?
★★★★negativeLiz1527 · 2017-04-13 · v1.6
Wording accessibility...
Very nice game....it would be nice to be able to access the game at midnight , East coast time. It usually can only be accessed at 3am east coast time.

WordJong
Please move game board over to the left so we can get to Saturday's challenge. I've played everyday for years with the exception of a few Saturday's that I can't open. Love this game!
★★★★positivemannysibal · 2016-10-24 · v1.6
Wordjong
I've been playing this everyday for almost 5 years. It's the best game in my collection. But there is a problem when I travel to different time zones, especially when the time change is more than three hours. When you complete a game it will show that it's the next day's puzzle that has been defeated. If you have a high score for that day, when you try to play the next day's puzzle, you have to beat your high score for the previous day.

Still can't access the Saturday puzzles! Are you EVER going to fix that?

Saturday Game
IF YOU DON'T PLAY SATURDAY GAME ON SATURDAY YOU LOSE GAME FOREVER. ISSUE SINCE 2012
★★★★★neutralMichllsmom · 2016-05-10 · v1.6
Can't access Saturday games
Good game but if I miss the Saturday game, it can't be accessed because it's blocked by a picture. If this were fixed, I'd give it 5 stars.
★★★★positiveNikkinew212 · 2016-03-21 · v1.6
Please fix the new bug. Unable to play any Saturday games
The high score drop down on the app covers the Saturday column for the entire month making the user unable to select and play any of the games in that column.
★★★★positiveLZ13 · 2015-11-29 · v1.6
Love it!
My only complaint is that you can't get back into the Saturday games on other days. Need to fix this bug to get 5 stars.
