What players say

Players describe it as a blend of word search and trivia where you solve themed puzzles by deducing words from a cryptic clue. The cute worm theme and clean look are praised, but the vocabulary can be a hurdle for non-native speakers. Completions are around 4-5 hours, and many ask for more content.
