★★★★★Philip Neeves· Nov 7, 2024
Getting loads of cryptic crosswords from this and just the right amount of challenge for a very small fee, well worth it
★★★★★Melanie MacDonald· Sep 4, 2026
Perfect for mid-level solvers. No adds, and well worth the price to have all the puzzles. Would 100% purchase volume 2.
★★★★★Mark Stanley· Apr 3, 2026
I've been playing this cryptic crossword app for many years. The clues are well-thought-out, it's a great time filler. If I was asked for constructive criticism I'd suggest the controls be reviewed with the goal being to reduce the need to select the correct squares after the app automatically moves to an unusual position, but as this game has remained the same for so many years, probably best to leave well enough alone. Well done and thank you to the developer.

Most clues don't follow traditional cryptic rules. Sometimes they are completely random.

The puzzle setters don't always seem to follow the rules of cryptic crosswords. In many clues there are words that don't do anything, sometimes words mean what they should (like indicate anagrams) sometimes they just mean whatever they wanted it to mean. I'm not sure what dictionary was used, but it sure wasn't the Chamber's
