User Reviews

Users generally enjoy Crossword Challenge for its fun, engaging gameplay and daily-play appeal, with reviewers praising the game quality. However, the experience is hampered by an overwhelming ad load that interrupts play—often after every move—even when a one-time no-ads purchase is supposed to fix it. Readability issues (small text and hints) and occasional glitches or freezes also detract from the experience, as do occasional crossword spelling errors. Overall, gameplay is strong, but ad frequency and reliability problems are the main pain points.
Pros
  • Fun, engaging, and addictive crossword gameplay.
  • Widely loved by players who report daily play and positive reception.
  • Brain-stimulating puzzle that keeps the mind active.
Cons
  • Frequent ads interrupt gameplay—ads appear after almost every move, and paying for a no-ads option doesn’t consistently remove them.
  • Text and word hints are too small; no option to enlarge hints.
  • Glitches and freezes disrupt play, sometimes causing the app or device to lock up.
  • Occasional misspellings in finished crosswords.

Cool game!

I thought this would be a fun crosswords app, and the concept is, except all the clues are basically given to you. The clue will be “retweet” and the answer will be “rt”. Or “registered nurse” and the answer is “rn”. Half of the answers are just acronyms for the clue. If it’s not that, it will be “letter after T” or something silly. If you have an IQ of over 30 this game isn’t for you.
