Comments on Crossword Puzzle Explorer for Android

★★★★★ Theresa Weidel · Sep 19, 2026
Really fun game not too challenging. Not too many ads, and they go by very quick.
★★★★★ JC Timbersnake · Jul 28, 2026
Need to get rid of the clues and automatic giving letters makes it too easy.
★★★★★ David Bumbarger · Aug 31, 2026
Makes you think, can get engrossed into this game a few ads pop-up, nothing to not stop playing, enjoyable 😉
★★★★☆ Tracy Shaw · Aug 12, 2026
Crosswords are fun, but the ads are ridiculously long and no way of getting out of them.
★★★★★ Benjamin Fletcher · Sep 19, 2026
Fun for crossword lovers. Crossword puzzles really do increase your intelligence, by the way.
★★★★★ Melissa Daniels · Sep 21, 2026
Fun way to kill time and keep memory alert.
★☆☆☆☆ Rita Bruner · Aug 27, 2026
Too many ads! You HAVE to watch an ad before your game and an ad after your game and an ad when you click to play another gane. Let me explain. you're watching 3 ads before they let you play 1 game. When you click to play the next game another ad pops up! 3 ads just to play 1 game is a bit much. I have put up with it long enough. Time to move to another crossword game that doesn't take advantage of my patience.
★☆☆☆☆ Mike D · Sep 10, 2026
Really fun to play, but I spend more time waiting for ads to finish than actual play time. If they can just keep ad banners going at the top of the game screen then eliminate the constant interruptions that would be great. I know how ads payout, and they make loads of money forcing ads in our face. Boils down to greed.
★☆☆☆☆ DAKILL gaming · Aug 28, 2026
Seriously today I watched 3 ads before I even played a game, 6 minutes of 3 ads. Omg please reel it in and to really express my anger I got a couple of coins. I gave the 1 star because I'm a 3-year player, but this is stupid
