Would like more information on words

It would help if this game offered pronunciation of words as well as used in a sentence. Also, add more words or challenges each week.

Repeats

Only 10 or so puzzles that repeat over and over. So frustrating.

Tired of getting the same words. Please put some new words on it

Need more words

Same words over and over

Fix Needed
     
by kaf1227 · August 10, 2023

I’ve been playing this game for years and enjoy it when I’m waiting somewhere, or just have a few moments to play. I’ve always enjoyed it. Now, sadly, the scoring seems off. I guess every word within moment with no whirling and don’t get the “P”uzzle points rewarded only 50% of the time now:( I’m not interested in upgrading. I simply want the Whirly Word APP I e been happy with to be updated. Come on support. It’s been a year since you done anything. Fix what needs to be taken care of for those that enjoy this puzzle game.

Not enough games
     
by boaty face · November 16, 2022

This would be a lot more fun if there were more games. Just the same ones over and over.
