AMAZING!!!
- Boitumelo Ramaisa · v1.61
I love my cryptic crossword. I have been playing this for several years now. Reaching the end and clearing to start again. But now they have done this ridiculous update where they have removed the 'Reveal Letter' & Reveal Word' option. I found that so helpful to help me along when things stumpped me. It was also useful for training me on some of the logic and solving cryptics. Now they have gone a ruined the experience for me. Please re-install this option.
- PeRoMo · v1.61
Really great Crossword app. Offline functionality is super for long trips. The new refresh and daily crosswords are welcome. Simply the only and best crossword app out there.
- Mez Pahlan · v1.61
Credit where credit is due. Teazel updated the crossword app that basically removed my access to it even though I'd already paid. Within 24 hours, the problem was sorted and my purchase restored. So thank you for the quick fix. The crossword app itself has kept me entertained for over a year now. As others have mentioned, the quantity of puzzles and the ability to clear them for another go will keep me going for a good while yet. I like that the puzzles are uk centric instead of US based.
- Andy Barnett · v1.61
paid for the game and now they change it to some kind of taken system. don't want to have to pay more for something I already bought
- Terrence Miller · v1.60
My day isn't complete without my cryptic crossword. I'm on my second go-round with both packages. By the time I've completed one set and repeat the other, enough time has passed that they're brand new again. and now there's a daily version. What more could I ask!
- Bon · v1.60
Used to be great, but damaged by microtransactions, stealth ads, and removed features. Once this was a nice little crossword app which you paid for once and had ad-free access to a bundle of crosswords, no penalties for mistakes or hints, no begging for more money. Now they've updated it so features I already paid for now cost me 'coins', there's a monthly subscription, and my details are given to 100+ advertising "partners". I just want the app I paid for back.
- Jake Staines · v1.58
suddenly I have to subscribe for something I've already bought? No thank you.
- Cleaton Parkway · v1.60
If you like the Evening Stanstead cryptic crossword you will probably like this app.

very good cryptics, ideal for beginners
- David Long · v1.58
Clues aren't too difficult which is great for a reintroduction to cryptic crosswords. but for some reason I'm unable to get the full games of cryptic crossword lite
- Jane Holder · v1.58
Love a crossword and this is perfect

Fun crosswords. The free version was a great trial! It convinced me to pay for the full thing. Thanks for the app guys!

I like it.
- Balloon Balloon · v1.55
annoyingly difficult, but fun to get the brain going
- Steffi Brook · v1.55
Certainly the only decent library of actual cryptic crosswords I can find with no mess-around. Could use some more features to help understand a clue without spoiling, but I know that's a big ask
- Ryan Paroz · v1.55
Really good game, a bit spoilt by a lousy keyboard

Fabulous! Great crosswords, no fuss.
- Computer Help · v1.55
An enjoyable cryptic crossword.
- J Jeffery · v1.55
Great crosswords. they are not just words from one country but more generic, so you are not looking for some unusual word that is used only in that country. It's good that you can go and check an answer or even a letter, so it helps you learn too. Excellent value for money.
- Rick Shiells · v1.55
suits my level of ability
- Breda Loughran · v1.55
Excellent app
- Lorna Bennett · v1.55
Some good clues, with some hint features e.g. Reveal of a letter or word if you're stuck. Could be improved if you could highlight the definition of a clue and wordplay indicators. This has kept me busy for hours.
- Dean Reed (squeegee cleaners) · v1.55
A crossword a day keeps brain fog at bay
- Dona Bristow · v1.55
Good balance of clues
- Jean Hind · v1.55
👍 good
- 区吉民 · v1.55
I like the crosswords. They are not very difficult and that's what I was looking for. Fun. And the price was very reasonable for the pay version - the free version lets you test it properly first, and no ads.
- Katherine Hosking · v1.55
Fun intro to cryptic crosswords.
- Molly Wigand · v1.55
Not too onerous cryptics to keep your brain a little more nimble.
