Ratings and reviews

If you like cryptic crosswords, this is for you. Several free puzzles, and more to buy if you want. No popup ads that insist you watch them before you can get back to the puzzle. I have been able to give feedback by email, and there has been a quick response each time. Not for everyone, but just because you have never done cryptic crosswords before doesn't mean they are not for you. If you enjoy wordplay, you should try them.

Very good puzzles that are really testing my brain and I am still on the free games. The interface is easy to use and have had no problems on my phone (Sony Xperia XZ1). There are some other comments that the clues don't match the answers, but I haven't found that to be the case. A couple took me a bit to work out, but it is meant to be a puzzle! Worth a try.

Very enjoyable and a good brain stretcher. There's an option to check how many words or letters you've got wrong, and a second that highlights where they are. I like how you can decide which level of help you need (if any.) All in all, a solid, well put together app. There's enough free content to keep you going for a while but I happily paid to unlock the rest since I don't see myself getting bored of these anytime soon.
