Comments on BestForPuz Cryptic Crossword for Android

★★★★★ Jane Holder · Jan 20, 2026

Cryptic crosswords keep my brain active. I like that you can check your answers to see if the word is correct. And there are so many puzzles!!! You need to pay to unlock all the puzzles, but you can play them over and over.

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ 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

★★☆☆☆ Sam Scheding · May 4, 2025

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

★★☆☆☆ Michael McKinney · Apr 8, 2026

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
