Comments on Crossword Challenge for Android

★★★★★ Patricia Blodgett · Oct 25, 2026
It is fun and challenging! The game starts out easy and gets progressively harder!
★★★★★ Candace Keast · Oct 15, 2026
I really enjoy this crossword puzzle game! It's fun, relaxing, and a great way to keep your mind sharp while passing the time. I love being able to play at my own pace, whether I'm relaxing at home, waiting for an appointment, or just looking for something entertaining to do. It's a great mix of fun and brain exercise, and it keeps me coming back for more. Definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys crossword puzzles and word games!

You can't pay one price and get rid of ads forever. You pay and only get rid of Em for 30 days. That doesn't seem right to me. However the game is fun
★☆☆☆☆ Damien Chiesa · Sep 15, 2026

★☆☆☆☆ Reja Nugraha · Oct 23, 2026
Every submit ended with ads, so ridiculous dev. Really hungry with the AdSense?
★☆☆☆☆ Joanna McRae · Sep 10, 2026
Don't know americanisms. Don't want hint - prefer to use my brain, thought that was the idea!
