Forced Competition

Why does everything need to be in a fake meaningless league on every app now? I don’t care if Shelby69420 solved more puzzles than I did this week.


The repetitive clues/answers are getting very boring after only a few days.


I have no idea why they bothered to call this Crossword “Explorer”. There’s nothing thematic about the puzzles, just different background images that you hardly ever see.

Fun word game

Quick, easy, stimulating

luv this game

banging game honestly 10/10

Not bad

Seems like a good app, but too Americanised. A lot of the questions are “NFL this” or “NBA that” and based around celebrity culture I.e. “actor who played role in xxx” referring to an American only program. It’s a shame because it was good, but got tedious quickly.

Lacking Variety

This could easily be a 5 Star game, but due to a lack of word variety it leaves much to be desired. There are times where words like “STY” and “EMO” show up in several puzzles in a row, and that’s just two examples. Because of this, the puzzles get boring quickly. Additionally, the UI feels cheap. You only see the “map” if you back out of the puzzle. Also, other game modes exist, but getting to them is confusing. I feel like a dedicated home page would make this experience much better. Overall, I enjoy playing as a way to kill time, but I don’t often hang around for long because of the issues I mentioned.
