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.

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

As an avid NYT Crossword player, I was dumbfounded about those English Cryptic. This is now making sense!

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 😭

Its kinda scummy to ask for a good review right before the app reveals that chapters 2+ need to be purchased
