Great Game…But There Needs To Be Fixes
I just started playing this game a couple of days ago, and I love it! I really like the adaptation of the board game and the additions of side games and achievements. It makes for a captivating game that you can spend a long time on.
However, there is one issue that I have with this game which is the long wait times for a lot of the games. I mean some take hours to days to play. I know that the developers encourage to keep multiple games open so that you can play more, but I don’t that enjoy a whole lot. The reason why is that most of the games end up stalling near the last move and it clogs up the inbox. I would rather have games where I could complete all the way through with one play-through. So if there is a way to optimize the experience that would be great.
With all that I said, I do recommend this game if you are a fan of the board game since it is really fun to play! Just be aware of waiting for a while for some games.

Fantastic!
Really enjoy this game! Lots of opportunities for different words and challenges.
My only real issue is the verdicts. So many non-words get approved simply because “ish” or “like” are added as suffixes to real words. Like cubed > cubedish and webbing > webbinglike. In most cases, the actual English words are a fine clue. Cubedish doesn’t add much to the word cubed and you could use webbed or webbing instead of webbinglike. It’s a cheap way to add a potential modifier to a word. For example you can’t say “not x” or “non x” as a false prefix for something it’s not.
Why do people have such a hard time just sticking to the rules and English in these games?

Brilliant adaptation but read the reviews first!
It’s a great adaptation of the party game
BUT, I wish I had dug into the reviews before buying. There is some limited offline content but it is - as the devs say repeatedly in their responses here - primarily an asynchronous multiplayer game where your opponents will step away for apparently hours (days?) at a time
If you’re looking for a faithful adaptation to just fire it up and play a quick game this is not that

Love this game
We often play the board game Codenames with our friends. This is a great alternative when you don’t have 4 people. We play games when we camp. The board game doesn’t work in wind, but the electronic version is a great alternative.

So much fun, but do wish there was like a computer automatic system that could play the opposing sid
I do love this app. I just wish there was a way you could like. Kind of play with a computer because having to wait for people to respond is kind of annoying but I do get it.
