Reviews

Challenging enough.
ACFMD

Agree with some of the comments that the clue at times appears to not relate well or at all with the word answer.

I like that you don't have to spend money. I like the way the clues are written.


Fun
Mtboy67

Great puzzles. Good clues. Different shapes and sizes. Few repeats from puzzle to puzzle. Used to play NY Times.


Mostly fun
Frugal Productions

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.


Crosswords
Smithba

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. I am not a gamer.


Best Quick Crossword App
Tdgecko

This app is great! Easy to use, done in 20 minutes or less, and the price is right!


New Crossword Format
E-wrecks

The mini crosswords are fun although some of the answers appear to be British. I 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 I had my choice, the original crossword format which allowed access to the daily crosswords for prior months/ years suited me better
