Daft clues! Too American!

Great to use an Apple Pencil to fill in the answers but keeps saying “l” is a correct letter when it isn’t. Friday 29th May 6 down, answer is LOP but if I is put as first letter it turns green as correct.

FAQ

What is Crossword Puzzles with Pencil?

This app allows you to solve crossword puzzles by writing directly on your iPad screen with an Apple Pencil or compatible stylus. It features advanced handwriting recognition, making the experience feel like solving on paper. The app is designed to be ad-free and offers a relaxed solving environment.

How does the handwriting recognition work?

The app's core feature is its ability to instantly recognize your handwritten letters as you write them in the crossword grid. This provides a natural and intuitive way to fill in answers, mimicking the experience of using a pen on a physical crossword.

What are the subscription options and costs?

The app offers a premium subscription for unlimited access to all puzzles. You can choose between a monthly subscription for $7.99 or an annual subscription for $39.99 (prices may vary by region). Subscriptions auto-renew unless turned off in your Apple Account settings.

Is this app compatible with devices other than iPad?

No, this app is designed exclusively for iPad and is optimized for use with the Apple Pencil. While third-party styluses are supported, the primary platform for this application is the iPad.

Can I try the app before subscribing?

The description mentions a free trial period for the premium subscription. If you subscribe before your free trial ends, the remaining trial period will be forfeited once your purchase is confirmed. You can manage your subscription and free trial through your Apple Account settings.
