A Little Frustrating Sometimes, But...
Gary Hayton

But cryptics are supposed to be a bit difficult, aren't they? Once in a while, the answer is a British word I don't know; sometimes it's a rarely-used word. On the whole, though, this collection is a great bargain. I have paid as much as this collection cost me for a magazine containing only one or two cryptics. This is a great deal!

Great find

Love cryptic crosswords...these are well done and keep one thinking out of the box. Hope the developers continue to increase the difficulty or have an option to purchase future puzzles. Definitely worth the purchase price!

Love cryptic crosswords, add harder levels please!

I love cryptics, but would prefer more clever and challenging clues. Perhaps offer different levels of difficulty users can choose from?

Interface is fantastic! Puzzles are too easy for me. Maybe good for cryptics beginners.

Challenging Cryptic Puzzles

I’ve been solving the free sample puzzles and they are very enjoyable. Not too easy, but hard enough to make them fun. I’ll certainly buy the entire set once the samples are completed.

Hours of great fun!

My wife have enjoyed doing these cryptic crossword puzzles together. We have dabbled in these puzzles before, but with this set we got hooked.

Great puzzles—please add more!

The puzzles are great if you’re a cryptic crossword enthusiast (with the caveat that they are written by Brits, so Americans need to think British English). I wish there were more puzzles available.

Challenging, not frustrating

These aren't the hardest cryptic crosswords I've encountered, but they are challenging enough to provide some good mental exercise. Rated 4 stars rather than 5 because I would love if there were some harder puzzles available.
