Brilliant app

one of the best crossword apps I’ve ever downloaded even the ads are only five seconds long and I’ve even downloaded a couple of games from them, completed both so more please

Hours of fun

I liked the variety of clues and categories, and that the answers to the cryptic clues were explained. It was a great bonding activity to do with my mum 🙂

Please make more of these!!!!

Need more crosswords please

FAVE GAME EVER!!!

LOVE this game omg. I play it everyday as soon as I wake up before getting ready for work and every night to fall asleep. I purchased the no ads and it was extremely cheap. I don’t understand how more people don’t know about this game. I am a crossword lover and this game definitely helps keep my peace. They also just added a second big crossword to the app. It does have cryptic clues, but the more I play the game the more I understand them. PLEASE NEVER GET RID OF THIS GAME!!!

Best crossword

I love the challenge of this crossword, but I wish I could have it on landscape as well as portrait!

Pretty good

Nice big crossword. However, it seems to be made in the UK, so some of the spellings and clues will be geared towards that.

If you like crosswords this will test your endurance.

I have just completed the second release of ‘The Big’ crossword, having completed the first release last year. It took just over 6 hours spaced over several days to complete the 1300+ clues, was a lot of fun and a good test of most of the skills required to complete more normal-sized crosswords, including anagrams, (not too) cryptic clues, and knowledge of a varying range of subjects.
Looking forward to the next release.

Loved it!

Great fun, love the fact it’s such a large puzzle so you can go in and out as needed. Was so useful during long and boring hospital wait, highly recommend, wish there were more puzzles to solve!

Great value entertainment

This app is great ‘bang for the buck’ but also ‘bang for the byte’ at under 13MB for many hours of puzzling. The addition of a second puzzle just makes it even more worthwhile. I think the cryptic clues are harder in the second one, which has as great a variety of clue categories as the first. Well worth having on your phone or iPad, and entertaining enough that I have replayed the first puzzle a couple of times, and expect to do the same with the second — once I can sort out those few remaining cryptic clues!

10 out of 10

With a world full of generic crosswords it’s refreshing to see a outstanding game once in a while
Would totally love a sequel if it’s even possible
Ps :it may seem overwhelming at first but once you complete a couple of clues it becomes easier to digest
Also the website one across is your friend in the late game
