Super, lots of little crosswords ads not intrusive. Exactly what you want from a free game. Would be cool to have some larger/harder crosswords tho!

Excellent, adverts are very minimal and crosswords are challenging but achievable. Hints are excellent and don't give away too much. My only comment would be that when one has some letters filled in, it would be useful for these to be removed from the available letters below (or to have this as an option that can be switched on/off) to avoid confusion. Thank you devs!

Love it! Relaxing pace as there is no clock to beat. Caters to all skill levels by virtue of its format. Skilled can just enter the word. Next level can use alphabet clues. Those still stuck can use hints. No pesky ads. No running out of hints. No badgering to purchase coins, etc. Its a traditional paper crossword in an easy to use digital format. Would highly recommend it.

Decent game but they get some definitions wrong making it impossible to accurately answer all the clues. There's a lot of ads but its not excessive and are not every intrusive. I like that hints do not cost a made up currency and you don't get an ad for every hint. If there was a way to report erroneous clues, that would bump this up to a 5 star.

I've sank many hours into this so far, and it's my favourite time killer with puzzles that are neither too difficult or too easy. There are ads, but they never appear whilst solving a puzzle. I think they're on a 5 minute timer that trigger after selecting a new puzzle or using a hint and are easily skippable after 5 seconds. If I could make a suggestion, it'd be good if the pool of letters on unsolved clues wasn't replenished when letters are removed.

Simply fun. I do crosswords to relax and learn some new words, not to feel immensely challenged. So this is an ideal balance. I did note one commenter wanted the puzzles to get more challenging as she went along. I can see what she means. However, I wouldn't want it to feel burdensome. Just challenging enough to remain interesting and teach me some words I probably wouldn't have come across in everyday reading.

Very good. Ads are not intrusive, and hints don't cost anything. Plenty of crosswords to keep you busy. There are some oddities in the word spelling. I've noticed some words have the ends cut off. "utilities" becomes "utils". I've encountered a small number of those. The app seems to lean towards an Indian audience. Almost every crossword has some Indian cultural aspect. I recommend this app though. It's better than all the others I tried.

Interesting and challenging without being ridiculously hard (so far!). Not the format I was expecting, but it doesn't affect my enjoyment.

So far, I'm enjoying the games. You have made it challenging and there are some clues that I have to reveal. But I'm growing in knowledge and learning new words in the process. You sprinkle clues in the puzzles anywhere from history to common place words. Nice!

no ads (that I've encountered with blocker), no personal info collected, free, fun, probably short & and easier for some but I'm newer to the game.

I like this, crossword puzzles are fun and relaxing. As long as they are easy or medium, I can do them well. Thanks for allowing this app to work without internet, never can tell if the Net might crash sometime! Also thanks for including many, many crossword puzzles!! This works fine on my Samsung Note 2 android.

Best thing about this particular app is the ads are not overwhelming. There is a short ad, can be skipped after about 5-10 seconds, and it doesn't come after every little thing you do. For example could ask for a few hints before it prompts an ad. Other apps show an ad for every hint and stay for 30 seconds. I had 1 app that played a 30 second ad after a 10 second play and loss before you could start again. Notice I said had. That is absurd. This is a fun mind tickler and more time playing.

After solving 6 crossword puzzles, I would say that all of them have been challenging, informative, diverse, and fun. I hope to continue on a regular, daily basis whenever the urge is so overwhelming that the crossword "zombieitis" in me is at its zenith, rendering a delirious desire to solve all challenges confronting my screen. In other words, this is a good crossword puzzle app that I would recommend for all who want to be challenged and left with a sense of good old-fashioned nerdism. 5****

Best Crossword App Ever. There are little ads, the clues are relevant to the word (seriously sometimes clues in other crossword puzzles are ridiculous, like how would I have EVER guessed that?), no ridiculous "star/point" system which requires in app purchases for basic features like telling you if a word is wrong, it's perfect imo.

It took a little getting used to being different than other crosswords I have downloaded, but I soon liked it and can see how it can become a go to Word game for me. So appreciate not having to deal w/earning or purchasing coins or points to advance, which is a huge turn off for me. Ads are repetitive, which gets to me after a few same ones in a row & makes me want to quit the ap for a while. All in all I am glad I gave it a try & think I will continue to enjoy it.

I am going to say something I ever say about any app. I like this one very much. It has a different spin on the crossword puzzle game but is still very challenging and fun. I sometimes lean on the hints too much and try not to but being stuck takes a lot from the consistency , flow, and fun of solving puzzles. It's still quite hard and gets tougher as you progress to each puzzle. I usually don't rate gaming apps for personal reasons but I was compelled to offer a big thumbs up for this one. 4★s.

I've been playing a few days now and it's okay. The grid is cluttered with clues and arrows, making it highly difficult to see the puzzle itself. Also, there's little actual crossover between words, so in the later games (I went up to level 400), you have to know the answer without help from intersecting clues. The grid never becomes more complex. Finally, I can find no logic in how the game forwards to the next clue; it seems to jump randomly, not necessarily chronologically.

Overall a really great game, easy to use, and not too many ads and when there are some you can always skip after 5 seconds. One thing that they could do to make the game better, it make it so you can mark or remove letters from the options, so they are unusable. This is what you would do when there are already other letter from other intersecting words. Right now the only way to do this is to use "hint", but it removes all letters that aren't used.

I very much have enjoyed this app. There are tons of puzzles. Each one has some very easy and very difficult answers, to me at least. My favorite part is you have a lot of control over the difficulty. You can use a full keyboard or ask for only 14 possible letters. Being able to reveal specific letters is also fun as you can choose letters that help with more than one word, or that only help the specific word you want Is there a way to pay to remove adds? I don't see one in the app.
