Review summary

Users find the app challenging and enjoyable once they grasp the gameplay, making it a good pastime. However, many are frustrated by the use of invalid words, poor UI elements like tiny grid numbers and unclear word separations, and the presence of offensive puzzle content. Ads and a lack of helpful features further detract from the experience. Improvements in dictionary accuracy, interface clarity, and content appropriateness are needed to enhance user satisfaction.

Pros

Challenging and fun puzzle gameplay that stimulates the mind.
Good for passing the time and learning new things.
Users appreciate the concept and enjoy solving the codes once they understand how to play.

Cons

Inclusion of non-standard words like abbreviations, contractions, proper nouns, and non-words causing confusion and frustration.
Poor user interface design: very tiny numbers on the grid, lack of letter usage indication, and difficulty in distinguishing word boundaries.
Offensive or inappropriate puzzle content (e.g., inappropriate letter sequences).
Annoying and intrusive ads when returning to the app.
Lack of helpful features such as highlighting similar numbered cells, hiding completed puzzles, and better scrolling for larger puzzles.

2021-10-15	Vi*****	Stared at the first puzzle for half an hour before deciding certain combinations were impossible. Checked the solution and sure enough, bunch of non existent words, acronyms and contractions. Very frustrating.

2020-08-13	Si*****	A bare bones game. You can't see what letters you've already used, which is a non- starter for this type of game. Just a bit boring and the worst by this developer.

More puzzles, please!
2018-10-25	A *****	Horrible. 1) Dictionary contains contractions, proper nouns, and even non-words such as Roman numerals, abbreviations, etc. Stick to Scrabble words, please. 2) the numbers on the grid are so tiny that I need a magnifying glass, on my Galaxy S8 Plus. 3) when tapping on one cell, all other cells with the same number should be highlighted. 4) after a letter has been used on the grid, it should be grayed-out on the keyboard, or otherwise indicated in some clear way. 5) annoying ads if you leave the app and return. I've never seen that style ads, and they are really ugly and annoying. 6) rename the puzzles: "cp_en_00001" looks awful. Overall, this is awful, and needs a ton of improvement. Sorry.
