Sorry--you are losing me – Word Search Colorful Review

Since my 2 year old review was popular and my opinion has changed a lot, it's time for me to update again. I'm knocking it down to a 3 star app from 4 stars. I'm looking at other word search games to take its place. My dissatisfaction started when major changes were rolled out, including new types of games around the first of the year. A myriad of payment options have been added, some of which seemed totally out of consideration for a game. The game has been changed many times since the major rollout. I think someone kept complaining the games didn't have enough words. I'll get to that soon. Also, I think some of the category fees for players have gone down since the beginning. (Check the in app fees.) The game is divided into different types of games: time-based, classic (category), story, free draw; and progressive games. The game has many categories--too many, in fact for the vocabulary the computer has. If you don't have enough words to support a category of "summer" and "winter" without recycling the same terms, why not have a "seasons" category instead? Other categories that recycle terms frequently are celebrity and movies. Why would you have a "fruit" category with most of the fruits being unknown in the United States? I only know some of them now because I've played the game enough; I still don't know what many of them are. Why are so many of the "cats" listed in that category simply the name of the origin of the cat? In the "seasoning" category, why do you have "seed," "spice," "corm," "oil," "bulb," and "tuber." Those are broad categories, not a specific seasoning. Also, "eddo" is spelled 2 ways in the list: eddo and eddoe. And I doubt anyone who does not work with taro would have any idea what "eddo" is. What is "mae" or "wood bark" or "Konjak"? In the "nature" category, why is a zoo or zoology relevant? Zoos are artificial, not nature. What is "nrust"? Why is "aware" a term in nature? Why are villains listed in the "heroes" category? In the "vegetables" category, "eddoe," "mangeout," "quandong" are items I had never heard of before. In the "travel" category, two new terms were added that seem to have no relevance to the category: "hooky" and "honorarium." In the "school" category, some new terms are "toilet," "time tabel" (misspelled in game), "hart" (seriously, a deer?) "pupol" (should be "pupil") "rubber" (eraser?) Is "virtue" actually taught in school? In the "house" category, what is "mop'mat," and "variatation"? and why, with all of the household furniture, rooms, and normal furnishings and appliances is it necessary to include a fork or knife or dinner plate? I will never understand how the word "verb" wound up in the hospital category. I wish words in the categories of fun, hobbies, and leisure maintained the same structure so they relate. If the norm is "bowling" or "reading" why is "stamp" in the list? Should it be stamp collecting or pasting stamps? What does "star" mean in the context: star gazing or going to a celebrities concert? Getting autographs? "Knex," "Bike," "Sew," "BMX," "Tasting" (what?) "Crossword" or "Crosswords" "Quiz," "Ballard" [What is this???] Those things are listed in hobbies, but so is sewing, bicycling. So is the hobby building with Knex, working crosswords, taking quizzes? Collecting bikes, tasting wine? Just clean thing up. In fitness, I don't understand why "bridge" and "chess" are included. Or "kart"--racing go-karts, perhaps? In the "feelings" category, many of the terms listed are not "feelings." They are temperament or characteristics of a person. I don't "feel" extravagant" "mean," "meek" or many of the other adjectives used in the program. Those terms might describe me. I may feel angry, happy, blue, sad, afraid, etc. I have read comments accompanying the updates since the major upgrade around the first of the year. It appears people want more words. I doubt they want words that don't apply to the category, or a lot of words that only add an "s" or break down larger words into smaller one. However, I could be wrong. I play only the Classic game, and the Inspect game. I played all of the ones in "Story" because it was an easy way to gain tokens for the Inspect game. I do like the "inspect" game most of the time. It does not give any hints about the words except the length. Naturally it has the same flaws one would find while playing the categories. I have waited a while to update this, hoping to give the developers enough time to clean things up a bit. I am not happy with it now.
