Had to reinstall

Since the last update, I am unable to play. Every puzzle results in the message: sorry there is something wrong with the puzzle. This has been a favorite game with me for years. Please fix it.*UPDATE* This no longer worked after upgrading to iPadOS14 and updating the app. In desperation I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Works fine now. I play this game every day and have been doing so for a few years.

Good game but one problem

The game is good,challenging, and enjoyable. My dislike is that when playing the daily free puzzle, I cannot turn off the sound in the ad. Sometimes it just isn’t appropriate to have sound, such as when in a waiting room, or on a line, or in any public place. Please allow us to turn off all sounds.Also the ads are way too long for an app. Check out the way the Solitaire app does ads. I actually look at those ads. These are too loud and too long. So if I am going to play the free puzzles, I turn the sound off on my phone, tap on the daily free puzzle, put the phone down and walk away. When I come back I play the game. So the long ads have made me totally ignore them. Plus I rarely play the game anymore because of the ads.

Love the game, hate the ads.

I too love the game and have purchased puzzle packs. However, for the past week, I have been seeing an ad after I play the daily game. I am one of those people who will generally buy the privilege to not see ads, but this is not even a choice! I did notice the choice is offered for the express version of your game, so perhaps I will switch to that - as I have done for seven little words app. In general, I think the games that are most successful at using this model are those that offer an opt out option, or, ask you if you want to watch an ad BEFORE the bonus is given.

Why only 4 stars?

I love this game. And when I say that, I mean I LOVE this game. I have literally purchased every available new game pack (except the dailies, but that’s just because I play them nearly every day while I wait for new packs to become available). So, why only 4 stars? Since the new pack, “Sugarcane,” has become available I’ve been unable to play it. I made my purchase, but it still shows the price and won’t allow me to open it. I’ve attempted to purchase it again, thinking there was a glitch in the purchase, but it tells me it’s already been purchased and will be restored for free. The wrench then proceeds to spin...until it doesn’t and the game freezes forcing me to close the app. I powered down my phone and restarted. No change. I even tried to offload the app and reinstall, but it still just shows me that $1.99 instead of making the pack available to play.This is truly my favorite word game on my phone (obviously). Please help me be able to play again.

Great Game, Annoying Ads

I’ve loved this game for a long time, and have often reinstalled it. However, the ads in the daily puzzles often lead me to delete it. I live daily challenges, but this game doesn’t ask if I wish to watch an ad, or give me the option to go back to the main page to skip bonus puzzles. As soon as I finish the daily puzzle, even if I hit the ‘x”, BAM ad and the bonus puzzle.It would be awesome to either opt out of the bonus puzzles and go back home without it automatically playing, or an option to buy and remove ads forever (an option I generally pay for on my most played games).

Love but.....

All of a sudden I can’t access it unless I agree/disagree to have my info marketed. I did not agree and it pops up a ‘thank you’ for agreeing. I had to contact the company they use and I can’t delete my info as I don’t have google ads. I was just asked by Apple if I wanted to update this. Apparently I’ll still receive ads that aren’t targeted. I’d still rather have that than give them more info about me. Also, I had to contact the ad mngmt company to find out how to remove the notice so I could access the game. It took a few steps including downloading another app! If you’re not tech savvy it could be very frustrating.

Brain sharpener

Part of my daily dose of critical thinking to keep my brain sharp.I like that it has three levels of difficulty and lets me choose which one I want to use. Begin at “easy” to get the feel of the game. Move to regular mode until comfortable with your guesses. Now, after years of play, I only choose hard mode and that is just the maximum complexity I need for the game to be challenging yet still fun.As with their Red Herring game, I also find that I sometimes want to search the web to understand why a word I guessed was correct. That keeps we learning about aspects I life I may never had thought about.Simply UI. They don’t mess around with unnecessary updates that would ruin a perfectly made game like other free apps.

Stop the music!

I love this game, and have been playing for years. But PLEASE stop that annoying, never-ending music from the Zen word search game. Once the ad plays, the music DOES NOT stop playing……..It’s SO irritating. This is more info on my above complaint. The music from the Zen word game ad continues to play through other ads and while I’m playing Monkey Wrench. I’ll try to send a couple videos showing this problem. Thanks…. PS…….Darn! I just can’t seem to attach a video. The two I wanted to send showed (with audio) Zen Word’s ad music playing over another vender’s ad, and playing while I was playing Monkey Wrench! I have the same problem while playing 7 Little Words. I hope you can fix this. Thanks so much for fixing this problem…..such a relief. I’ll continue to enjoy playing Monkey Wrench every day! 👍😋

Used To Be Great

I still play the game and have purchased a few puzzle packs. But between the ridiculous 30-second ads in the daily puzzles and what seems like a lack of effort to come up with decent puzzle answers, I’m really disappointed. Current example of the laziness in puzzle answers is from the June 23 daily puzzle. Ready?People from 1950s history: Patsy Cline, Gene Autry, and Jack Webb. How is that “history”? That is entertainment, not history! This is not an isolated example, and has become more frequent. This is really low-effort puzzle building. Please lose the obnoxious ads and put some decent effort back into your puzzles. I just can’t see buying any more puzzle packs if the developer won’t make an effort on their end.

Great App

I love word games and this one is excellent. It's easy to start and hard to walk away from. And it has become part of my daily routine. My only criticisms are that I agree that the categories could be more interesting, but more importantly, the answers should be correct. Whoever creates the categories needs to check the answers a little more thoroughly. Hello Dolly is not a Gene Kelly movie. Nor was Tim Robbins in Twister. Other than that I highly recommend the game.

Description

Monkey Wrench is a fun word find quiz game with a twist that will challenge your brain – you have to use the clues to figure out what the hidden words are! If you like crossword puzzles and wordsearch games, you’ll love Monkey Wrench! The answers will be about movies, food, science, sports, music, fashion, history and many other subjects (with lots of fun wordplay) – the 3 difficulty levels and helpful hints will give you just the kind of fun word-searching fun spelling game you’ve been looking for.

Words are hidden in a grid, but the monkey wrench in the quiz that will tease and challenge you is that before you can find the words, you need to work out what they are! Each puzzle consists of a grid of hexagonal tiles with letters. Some tiles are shaded; these are the first letters of the clues that fit into the categories at the top of the screen (swipe sideways to see more categories). Trace or tap a path of connected tiles to select letters and spell out an answer. If your answer matches one of the clues spelling out the word, the tiles disappear and you will find yourself closer to solving the puzzle. Use your brain to hunt for all the clues to clear the tiles and win! Monkey Wrench comes with one free bundle of 25 puzzles (with more puzzle packs available for purchase) and the three most recent daily puzzles are also available. Every puzzle has three difficulty levels – find the right one to tease and challenge your brain: EASY shows you all the full answers to the clues you need to search for. MEDIUM shows you only the first letters of each word. HARD gives you nothing but blanks to fill in. You can monkey around between difficulty levels hunting for answers by resetting the puzzle. You may also use the available hints to reveal the vowels of a clue, the last letter, or its location in the grid. Monkey Wrench is a puzzle challenge for all ages with categories to give everyone interesting challenges to solve. The daily puzzles will tease and challenge your brain while you try to hunt for the answers and unravel this fun and entertaining word quiz. Monkey Wrench is no ordinary word game (crossword, anagram puzzle, wordsearch, etc.) – before you can find the words, you need to figure out what they are by using the clues provided. With three difficulty levels to tease and test you and terms to hunt for from pop culture, science, geography, history and so much more, Monkey Wrench is word-puzzling fun for the whole family! The Monkey Wrench app comes with a free pack of 25 puzzles, free daily puzzles and more than 1000 additional puzzles available for purchase. Download Monkey Wrench today and play the most creative and interesting spelling quiz game that is as addictive as it is fun.
