Word Search APK: questions and answers

Does Word Search need Google Play services?

Not strictly. The APK lists Google Play services as optional, so some features may be missing on phones without them.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Word Search APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is ca01a277db2fdabf1b56f1bb15431082.
