Classic puzzle plus timer – Word Search Puzzles Review

This word search puzzler has a lot going for it and has a nice simple interface that lets you get straight to finding words. Unfortunately the timers and star system detract from the experience. Sometimes classic game + timer + achievements = less fun. It's also weird that puzzles you've "solved" are never really solved. You'll get part of a star for each completion but the puzzle has different words and in a different order each time you play. Which is great for replayability but makes it seem as if you're not really *progressing* through the game. Even after you have 5/5 stars, you haven't "finished" the puzzle. Maybe it's just me, but when I do word finds the puzzles I enjoy the most are the ones that take the longest to solve. This app turns that upside down in a bad way. I find myself glancing at the clock instead of enjoying the hunt. Somehow they've managed to take much of the fun out of word finds.
