Very addictive - this game has the "just one more puzzle!" effect, and since each one generally takes only a few minutes it's very easy to find yourself spending more time than you intended with it.

Unfortunately, there is no way to replay puzzles. Once it's completed, however long it took you, that's it. You can never go back to it and try to improve your time, or just play it again for fun. And when you have a poor memory like mine, and the puzzle would seem new again in mere days, that would add a lot of replayability! :)

There have been a few words that I wasn't familiar with, but in general I think anyone with a decent vocabulary should be able to figure out the puzzles. (I've only tried a couple of the 'hard' ones so far, though - I'm working my way through them in order and I'm halfway through 'medium'.)

You are able to choose which puzzle you want to play, so it's not necessary to follow the order they're presented in. If you get stuck you can move on to something else, but the game does save your progress and won't reset your time when you go back to that puzzle.

It's possible to get hung up on thinking a particular word is correct and trying to solve the rest of the puzzle around it, only to find that it doesn't work. And the game won't tell you which, if any, words you have correct... you have to complete it entirely to get any kind of feedback.

So, while I would recommend this title for anyone who enjoys word games, I wouldn't suggest paying full price for it. It's a 'once and done' game that you can't go back to. Get it on sale, though, (I paid less than a dollar) and you'll probably be happy with it!
