  • Fun, but with errors

    I've found quite a few errors in various puzzles, including answers that make no sense and answers that are actually backwards. For example: I'm on a puzzle now where the correct answer to a clue should be "toe" but in the puzzle it's "eot." Kind of takes the fun out of it!
  • The best bits of Scrabble & crosswords

    Perfect for when your looking for something less time consuming than an entire crossword puzzle. Has the competitive element of Scrabble and a surprising amount of strategy needed to defend words you've completed from your opponent who can steal your letters by completing a word using letters from a word you've just finished (think Letterpress). Four stars only because I've seen some of the longer words repeated, but I expect that will change as Mercury updates the game. Also know one of the devs there and am happy to support s game built in Nashville, Tennessee.

  • GREAT APP

    Need a Way to Communicate with the person your playing against
  • Great with a couple flaws

    Great game, but it really needs a chat feature. Also, although it appears as though you can resign games, in actuality you cannot, and the games just sit there forever. If these were fixed the game would be perfect.
  • Fun, but...

    There needs to be an option to have users automatically resign after they don't play for a certain amount of time (maybe a week?).
    It's also annoying that I can't reject invitations to play. Once I open it, all I can do is resign.
  • Simple, fun, straightforward

    The concept is simple and honestly executed. The sound effects are fun and the design is pleasurable to look at.

    Only two complains. One, force opponents to forfeit after a few days. I have at least half a dozen unfinished games in my queue for weeks. Two, some of the clues are just straight awful.

    Number two I can forgive -- not everyone is Will Shortz. Number one seems like common sense to me for any app developer with asynchronous gameplay. Get on it, y'all!

  • Fun, but glitchy

    Very addictive game if you like crossword puzzles, and the clues are challenging too. If the makers could fix a few bugs it would be perfect. It doesn't always notify me when the other person has played a turn. I have to close the app and restart it. I've also had a couple of games just disappear altogether. Kind of a bummer. I'm also starting to see some of the same clues already. Fix these problems and it would be a five star app!

  • Great game

    But I wish there was a way to turn the badges off. I have a constant 6 on the app which won't go away
  • Totally Addicting!

    Awesome game! An ingenious blend of crossword and competition, x-word lovers won't be able to put it down. And now it's got chat—even better!
  • Love it

    I'm not a fan of crossword puzzles, mainly because I'm so bad at them. But the clues in this app are both funny and really clever. I love how you compete and can steal colors.
