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.

Omg this game is so fun, but not only that, I’ve been playing for quite a while and haven’t seen 1 ad yet!! All of the other crossword games that are similar always interrupt me in the beginning, middle, and end of every game. I’m so happy with this, definitely recommend, it’s just what I was looking for!

I just downloaded this game and at level 5 ads started popping up. The first one I exited after 15 seconds. The second one took me to a page with a couple having sex and had a warning that I need to pay over $500 to keep my phone from being hijacked. What if children were exposed to this garbage? I don’t want to see trash like that
