Why UniWords has no ads
A word game is about thinking. An ad between two moves breaks your concentration and turns a relaxed game into something you hurry through. UniWords is built to be a game you can simply play. It is made by Axel Software ApS, a small studio in Copenhagen, Denmark, and people in more than 60 countries play it today.
