Monkey Wrench

4.5 - A fun little word search puzzle, and the various difficulty levels make it even nicer; great for a morning wakeup routine. The only 'problem' is that it sometimes - not often - has trouble with an internet connection, something that doesn't happen with other Blue Ox games.

Addictive! The HARD is challenging enough to figure out without frustration. Keeps my mind fresh for the answer is right in front of me and I enjoy using different tactics to find the words. I LOVE this game for a healthy brain exercise! And there are just enough ads that they do not affect game play. Great game!

Used to be a 5 star app. Lately, daily puzzles took two or three times to get them to load. As of today, 8/5/20, I can't get the daily to load at all. The ads work fine, but the puzzle just sits without loading. Yes, I think waiting over 10 minutes for it to load is unacceptable, and I've waited over 10 minutes just to watch a wrench spin. But everytime I try, the ads work fine. Bull!

Love this game. Have been playing it for years. My problem is that the hunt feature doesn't seem to work anymore. It takes forever to be able to click on the clue I want to use a hint for (I try to click it and no matter what I do, it acts like it's going to scroll through the categories). Incredible frustrating for time i opt to use a hint.

I play every day. Good balance of difficulty. Learn quite a few things. Edit: After a year of playing, changing from 5 to 2 stars. The puzzles and hints are recycled constantly. All the daily puzzles should be new, but they are just reused from a pack I paid for.

Edit: for some reason you can no longer buy the game packs. Tried several times and it keeps saying unavailable. I have plenty of Google money. Been doing this for months. Love the game. I wish it had more of the 250 puzzle packs for $4.99 though.

I love word games of all sorts, and I've had to make this one even more challenging for myself than the "hard" level by not even looking at the categories and just trying to find words. Still super fun and a great way to exercise my brain. I also love that I can play this with my kids - they actually enjoy and ask to play!

Edit: Issues seemed to have been resolved. Yay. Every time I try to open the daily puzzle, I have to watch an ad then it's the bonus puzzle from that day that I JUST finished. Over and over... I hope they're at least getting credit for the tons of ads that I'm watching.

I enjoy the games I can access, such as the free daily puzzles. I can't go back 30 days without purchasing one of the packs on the page, and none of the packs is available. Clicking a pack does nothing. I can't purchase more regular packs, either. Oh well, I guess I'll have to find something else to do until a new daily puzzle drops tomorrow.

I love this game, but for 3 days now I've not been able to get on the app. It keeps closing when I attempt to get on. This & 7 Little Words. Please fix these glitches or I'll have to uninstall both. Over a week now. Still can't get on. Uninstalled both!

Very fun word find puzzle game. Loses one star for too many micro transactions per content. I was able to complete free puzzles in a day and then I only get 2 free puzzles per day unless I wish to buy more. So unfortunately, uninstalling.

I love this game. Been playing it for years now and still enjoy it. If you don't want to pay, you get one free puzzle a day. Otherwise, you can pay for additional levels. I prefer to pay without looking at the clues at all - makes it more challenging!

Love the game, but will no longer play because of the ads. I didn't mind having to look at an ad after every puzzle, but the recent addition of loud music makes it impossible for me to play without disturbing people around me.

Don't like match 3 games, tired of finding objects. Wanted something to help keep my mind sharp and this is it. Kind of like doing crossword puzzles without the help of using other answers to get the ones you need.

Giving 3 stars because I usually enjoy this game, but recently it has become VERY glitchy. It freezes, gets stuck while seeing letters, or won't allow you to move on to the next clue. Please fix.

I like this game a lot, I always do the daily puzzles. I have a suggestion. 1. When I finish all I can with a puzzle and switch to easy mode, I lose all my answers. Could it somehow save my answers and just show the ones I didn't get?

Game itself is great. The app not so much. It does not sync saves, so if you have to reinstall or get a new phone, you lose all the saves.

Been a player, and buyer of game packs, of this game for many years, love it. However, the change to daily annoying advertisments has introduced bugs that regularly prevent daily puzzle loading properly.

I look forward to new puzzles every day. Fun and quick, play straight without clues, or select the amount of help you want. Words come from recent events and from the past.

Awesome word game & I bought unlimited hints a few years ago but I am now getting long ads between every daily puzzle. Have even bought quite a few packs in this game. Discouraging when you have to waste your time watching long videos...

Noisy Advertisements. The game is great, but the bombardment of ads with audio is totally unacceptable. Ads ok. Ads with audio not ok. Rarely play it anymore.

Okay game, fun idea, but too easy even in hard mode. Make it harder and it will be awesome. Get rid of the categories, mix in letters that won't be used, use harder vocabulary maybe?

I have had this for years. Just uninstalled after the third instance of a full sound advertisement. I don't mind ads as long as they are non-intrusive.

Wonderful game. Sometimes hard, sometimes not so hard. Excellent control of ads, one of the best AFA ads of all the free games I have played.

I've been playing this for years and lately the daily puzzle doesn't load. The wrench spins, stops and the puzzle doesn't load. The bonus one does however. What's up with that?

The addition of persistent video ads has ruined what used to be my favorite game. There is no way to buy out of them. They interfere with loading new puzzles.

Lots of fun and you will improve with practice. Initially I played in normal mode and frequently had to get hints or use google. Now I play in hard mode and never have to do either of those things
