User Reviews

The app delivers engaging, newspaper-like crossword gameplay with multiple, well-paced difficulty levels and handy features, appealing to word lovers. However, users report significant downsides including loud/unmuteable sounds, frequent freezes and bugs, billing problems with purchases, portrait-only navigation that complicates use on tablets, and some dictionary/word-accuracy concerns. Overall, strong puzzle design is hampered by technical and usability issues that recur across reviews.

Pros

Challenging and entertaining crossword gameplay that keeps you engaged.
Newspaper-like format/presentation similar to traditional crosswords.
Multiple levels with well-paced progression (including four levels).
Helpful features such as auto-jump to the next blank space and showing errors.
Vocabulary-building potential from challenging clues and word variety.

Cons

Sound effects are loud or cannot be muted easily without lowering device volume.
Frequent freezes/crashes and bugs that require reinstall or cause level lockups.
Billing/purchase issues, including puzzles not delivered and double charges.
Portrait-only navigation and inconsistent landscape support, making tablet use awkward.
Word/dictionary/lexicon inconsistencies or non-US terms that can make some clues feel incorrect.

Entertaining & challenging. I wish the sound could be muted though without having to shut off the volume of my iPad

I like the format, however the app freezes and has to be deleted and reloaded too often; I paid for no ads but still get them, perhaps my request was not successful; the puzzle many times has trouble going to landscape.
