Community Insight:
Enjoy it very much, its a great app. One of the best we have used.
Ive been using this app for years. Its great.
First thing in the morning a must do.most enjoyable.
Doing a few of these a day is almost meditative. Keep up the good work.
We love that this Crossword stimulates our brain, increases memory retention. But also challenges you & reinforces memory cells.
Excellent with a new puzzle every day.
Interesting and unique clues. Not as hard as the NYT but still challenging.
We like them. What happened to the ability to show mistakes.
We like that it is challenging without frustrating us.
It doesn't accurately encode games as finished on the home screen. Itll finish a game and the next day it SOMETIMES shows as almost finished. NOT a real problem with actual use. The system works well and the puzzles are at a good level for us.
We like the various types and levels of puzzles. Has something for everyone and all interests. Highly recommend.
Love this app. Never miss a day.
We really enjoy this game. Just sometimes we get a message re "only so many more for a new destination". Or something similar. We have no idea what this refers to! Its surely been years and we still enjoy.
Enjoy the challenge. Sometimes the clues are a bit repetitive but it makes us feel smarter when we remember. Haha So glad the watch a video for tickets came back.
Crosswords excels in satisfying your Passion for word puzzles !! Puzzles such as these helps to improve memory as well as Brain function!!! Enjoy.
Like this crossword puzzle very much.
Challenging but not frustrating. Enjoy the daily puzzles.
Love it! Our favorite crossword.
One of the few games that works with no issues.
Challenging without being overly difficult. We tried several others before landing on this one.
We love the crosswords app. Its our way of unwinding at the end of the day. Its not too hard but hard enough to be challenging.
Perfect for relaxation and mind stimulation.
This game is a lot of fun and challenging to your brain.
Each days puzzle contain thought provoking clues. Some clues have been seen before and others are new. The daily puzzle is definitely a good way to start the brain each morning. Thank you.
We love doing crossword puzzles. These are great.
All good! Need more free tickets.
Its part of our morning routine. We have a cup of coffee and work the daily puzzle. It gets our brain going for the day.
We find these puzzles to be a worthwhile activity to fill our retired hours. They offer a significant mental challenge and complement our daily reading activity.
Monday puzzles are simple, but as the week progresses, they get tougher, so if youre a new solver or a long-timer, theres something here youll enjoy.
We really enjoy playing these crosswords all skill levels but wish showing incorrect letters didnt cost so many tickets.
Puzzles are challenging without being arcane.
The pictures and sounds make it therapeutic to play. We like how the puzzles are challenging for us. Definitely not too easy. We like how there are not a lot of ads and what we refer to as silly games or competitions. Strictly crosswords.
We enjoy the daily crossword and think it helps keep our brain sharp.
Puzzles arent too easy like some other apps.
We purchased 1200 tickets for $19.99. Our purchase was approved and charged to our credit card. We have not received the tickets that were purchased. Where are they.
Our favorite crossword puzzle, excellent clues ,makes you think, very satisfying, very few obtuse clues,.
Love this!!! Enjoy it every day.
Enjoy working our brain with these puzzles.
We had forgotten how much crossword puzzles work your brain. We love that there is a daily puzzle and other puzzles to choose from. Glad we found this.
We really missed the opportunity to get tickets, because some times we would miss days, and we couldnt get the missed days without paying. We dont mind watching videos for free tickets. Thanks for bringing that option back.
Challenging and fun. Always learning new words.
A great way to start the day every day.
The game is fun. Some puzzles are kinda easy but we always like it.
Im sure you developers can find other ads not as annoying as the double down casino! Flashes the entire time youre working the puzzle. How annoying with no way to stop it except deleting the app.
Amazing game, great to play anytime.
We look forward to the daily puzzle, never miss it. The puzzles arent that hard but not easy either. This is one app Ill never delete.
We usually do a crossword with our morning coffee. Its a part of our regular routine, and these puzzles are an excellent way to start the day.
Great app! Puzzles are fun to solve. Ive had this app for a long time. Just wish they would give us even more puzzles to solve.
A cross between medium difficulty, perfect length. Enjoying very much.
This is the longest app we have used and with the daily puzzles it will most likely remain the longest.
