Got to buy puzzles packs or stay limited to lame puzzles. Im deleting this app.
This app is great! Easy to use, done in 20 minutes or less, and the price is right!
We love the price. Keeps the mind functional. Good way to spend free time.
It’s entertaining enough, but clues don’t tie in very well with the answer. The timer is difficult to see and there are too many ads for games that pop up, instead of the next crossword puzzle. We are not a gamer.
This is a fun and entertaining app for the most part. However, some answers have nothing to do with the clues, which means you have to spend free credits to solve the puzzle.
Agree with some of the comments that the clue at times appears to not relate well or at all with the word answer.
The mini crosswords are fun although some of the answers appear to be British. We would prefer not to have to jump through the other puzzle offerings to continue to the next crossword. Aside from that, the availability of multiple crosswords rather than one per day is a nice change. If we had our choice, the original crossword format which allowed access to the daily crosswords for prior months/ years suited us better.
We like that you don’t have to spend money. We like the way the clues are written.
Great puzzles. Good clues. Different shapes and sizes. Few repeats from puzzle to puzzle. Used to play NY Times.
This is probably the best crossword app for waiting at the doctors office! Love it, we play it every chance we get. And the price is excellent- FREE!!!
