     * I did not find a 6x6 version
     * See if you can find something that is functionally equivalent but better
+==== apps with too many ads ====
+  * wordus by Ruby Game Studio
+    * Tried it around 2022-02
+    * Unpleasant experience.
+    * I used it to play the wordle game. It was showing ads after each win and for each hint etc.,. It became so annoying that I decided to uninstall it in the end.
+  * Word Collect - Word Games Fun by Super Lucky Games LLC
+    * https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.platinumplayer.word.addict&hl=en_US&gl=US
+    * Tried it around 2022-09
+    * recommendation: no, avoid.
+    * reason: shows too many ads. They come up whenever you go up one level. All the Ads are repetitive, annoying, uninteresting, unskippable.
+==== apps I came across ====
+  * MacroDroid - Device Automation
+    * https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid
+    * Can this be used to chime every half an hour?
