Comments on Learn Cryptic Crosswords for Android

★★★★★ Suzy Pittman · Aug 30, 2026
I find this app to be the best teaching tool for cryptic puzzles. It's explained simply and the practice exercises set the techniques in the mind. The process of learning cryptic puzzles is a puzzle in itself! Have fun.
★★★★★ Samantha Pynes · Apr 28, 2026
I've been wanting to get into cryptic crosswords, but I didn't know how any of the clues worked, this has helped a lot already
★★★★★ Francisco “Cisco” Rivera · Mar 7, 2026
As an avid NYT Crossword player, I was dumbfounded about those English Cryptic. This is now making sense!
★★★★★ d mcguire · Sep 16, 2026
Very clear explanations with opportunities to test your learning as you go through the course.
★★★★★ jase2k2k · Sep 26, 2026
Very helpful for learning how to solve cryptic clues. Highly recommend for beginners.
★☆☆☆☆ Jarret Hartnell · Sep 20, 2026
Very clear and helpful but the surprise cost at the end destroyed my excitement. I'll learn elsewhere. Gotta make money but to lure you in and then drop a hefty price at the peak of my excitement makes me resentful. Great instruction. I would definitely have paid for the whole app if I was told up front that this is just a taste and if I want the whole meal I will have to pay. AND putting the option to review right before the surprise cost pops up just adds to the underhanded set-up.
★☆☆☆☆ Marko Markovic · Feb 19, 2026
Its kinda scummy to ask for a good review right before the app reveals that chapters 2+ need to be purchased
★★☆☆☆ Troy Nevitt · Feb 12, 2026
This far (I only finished section 1), I have learned how to do more than I've learned with things like the Minute Cryptic (which I also really like). I know it was an easier start, but it's been a great tutorial and finally a nice place to start. I will say some of the ways the solving section is built is awkward, but that's me being a bit picky since I'm using it to teach others as I learn too. Edit: ... Of course, it had a paywall right after I said that. I think $7 CAD is pretty expensive 😭
