Relaxing
Enjoying these puzzles. They are challenging and fun
Obnoxious ads
Adds come on and just sit there showing some picture I don’t want to see
Terrific
While away the relaxation time you have with intriguing puzzles. Imaginative clues make outside the box a must. I play every day to stay mentally sharp. It's a must for crossword enthusiasts. TYVM
Fun but glitchy
I have completed several puzzles that say “In progress” and even gone back to use coins to show mistakes, and there are no mistakes but I’m out 150 coins.
Good challenge
Good challenging puzzles but I wish there was more than one a day.
Review
Love it
Invasive.
Multiple pop-ups immediately after opening game. Ads instantly upon selecting the daily crossword. I downloaded the app. Opened it. And in under 5 seconds it gives me a pop up telling me to accept personalized ads. Another popup saying to buy coins, and another to buy packs/remove ads or whatevs. Then got an ad instantly after clicking the daily crossword. I bet if I continued for another 5 seconds the ad count would’ve reached the double digits. I strongly don’t recommend.
Play is fun, with bugs
Play is fun. Streak doesn’t track. Win doesn’t record either.
Misspellings
Obvious misspellings, and the puzzle won’t mark as complete until you use coins to “see wrong” and to change the spelling to incorrect. Multiple puzzles in a row did this, and I’m wondering if it’s a workaround for plagiarism or if it’s a ploy to get you to use coins.
Puzzles
There is no way to check answers !!
Cheats
It takes points for showing wrong words but it doesn’t show wrong so not happy with this game.
Cant just delete app
Don’t recommend they won’t let you delete this app from the phone you own and paid for!!!!!!
Fun… but…
It’s a great challenge and easy to navigate. But if you aren’t familiar with UK slang, it can be very confusing
Errors
The boards have spelling errors. For instance today, May 10,2026, 9 across should be SCOFF and the puzzle wanted SCOFE. 13 down should have been FRET, but puzzle wanted ERET. It’s happened at least 3 times since I started playing.
App needs work.
I like this app, but it lacks many of the basic features that other crossword apps have. It doesn’t skip completed letters or words making it hard to complete the puzzles without creating errors on words or clues you have already completed. I don’t play as often due to this. In fact, the app was inactive and when I played it again, I knew why I rarely played it. Please fix these problems. Your app will improve greatly.
Needs work
Needs options like automatically move to next clue
To many popups
Deleted over popups
Good crosswords, the keyboard could be better
Perry decent crossword app with different levels of difficulty. A lot of repetition of clues/answers across the puzzles though. And the keyboard is awful, it often misses presses making it annoying to go back and re-type the entire word sometimes. Fix that and it’s a solid crossword app.
Bugs
Nobody replies to bug issues. Subscription does not renew easily after trial. Subscription functionality doesn’t return after renewal. Completed puzzles continue to show in progress with the timer continuing to count.
Esoteric
Varies widely, some daily puzzles so esoteric, no fun anymore.
Classic crossword
Five stars…love classic crossword.. very challenging and entertaining throughout..you can buy letters or the word to help you along..very interesting..my favorite crossword app!!! There’s also trivia involved…it’s very engaging!!!!
Wrong solution
I spent $0.99 to solve a puzzle and the solution was incorrect. Tuition collectors and band to support the pants, a Bursar and a Belt. But the solution was a D, not a B. That is incorrect and I want my $0.99 back. If you cheat every single player out of $0.99 then you’re running a scam to steal our money. How is that fun? Ridiculous.
boring not what i wanted
.
Button presses
Hi, I just have to say that on an iPad that the top row and the bottom row seem to have much smaller target Arias and it often goes to the coins screen. Very annoying.
Play this
Play this is you wanna get smarter
Delete
Stupid thing won’t let me delete it off my phone I feel like I’m being held against my will. DELETE THIS THING!!! 😡
Was good for a bit
I love the crosswords but they do not put new ones out. If you do not buy the ridiculously high subscription you can only work one a day. Can’t unlock any with your winnings. Looking for another site. Back to my paperback for now!
Retyping letters
I like the puzzles but don’t understand why letters have to be retyped when filling in words. Also, the clues don’t naturally move in sequence, one to the next.
Classic
No gimmicks — just a good crossword puzzle.
Will have a hard time deleting if you install app
First app I have ever downloaded that will not let you uninstall without a big hassle
Ads! Ads! Ads!
I was loving these puzzles until the other day when something changed and now there are ads popping up constantly and very frequently. Ruined it. 😡
Deleted
I played this app for a few weeks and couldn’t always finish the puzzles but then the last few, I realized there were major spelling errors and that was why I couldn’t figure out the puzzles I deleted the app.
Retirement
Enjoying myself during retirement.
trying to make you spend money
there are mistakes built into the puzzles that make it so you can't finish it unless you spend coins to show you the 'wrong' letters and/or spend coins to show the 'right' word which is often incorrect. very frustrating, not sure why they're so highly reviewed
Errors
You make many spelling mistakes..
Crossword
Great game
Fraudulent
This crossword app has misspelled words which forces you to use credits to find the “incorrect letters”. Two days in a row they had misspelled words (Britain>Britian & Pliant>plaint). This is fraud to users and should be reported to Apple.
Inaccurate spelling
Fun crossword but so far almost every puzzle has included misspelled words (scofe instead of scoff, for example.)
Great puzzles
Excellent crosswords
Shady
Downloaded it and had to go through pricing then ads immediately before playing. Tried to delete and it made me email them before I could just delete.
Disappointed they used “rape” as a clue
Disappointed they used “rape” as a clue
