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.

For kids
I don’t understand this. I’m on level 180, waiting for it to jump up in difficulty. No jump. It gives dignity-insulting clues like “not NO, but ____” (hypothetical, but really not an exaggeration). You don’t even need to look at the down clues. You whip through five across clues in 10 seconds. I’m kind of embarrassed that I went through 180 levels of this. The app ads even show much larger puzzles, but I have no idea how to get to that. If I have played this many puzzles and it’s still as easy as the very first one, I can’t imagine how many it takes to get to the bigger puzzles.

Nice puzzle but needs more
This is a nice crossword puzzle game but the words are repetitive. I have reached a level where the words are the same every 3rd puzzle or so. Same clues and answers. Please get something new…Soon
Way too easy
I was hoping the puzzles would get more challenging, but it’s not happening…. Zzzzz
Really nice
Just relaxing
Stopped working after a flight
I tried using it in airplane mode and it got stuck on the initial loading screen. Then once I landed it still never got past the loading screen. I thought Apple tested and enforced NSNetwork etc error handling in app submissions. My other complaint is it uses an audio session that prevents me from listening to music or podcasts. I’d rather turn off the public domain bleeps and blips and listen to Carpenter Brut while I do crosswords.

Fake pay to play
Why do you now have to pay to see the wrong letters? And why does it cost more than you win for completing a puzzle?
Very USA focused
Could be good but it is so focused on the USA it isn't really useful for anyone else
I contacted through the in-game help center
Little more to say that other critics have said. This, for years and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of levels, was so much fun. Now it’s 80% mobile game slop and 20% game that I’m actually here for. It’s like having 40 minutes of ads in a 45 minute movie.
I contacted in-game help but I can’t believe it will change anything about the newest direction the game has taken. 5 star down to 1.
If you’re reading this as a new or curious potential player, I’d avoid it for the most part unless you enjoy wading through a slew of pop-ups, in-game currency nonsense and “greedy mobile game goofery”.it truly feels like a large out of touch company bought out the original developers and changed the game in almost every way you would be frustrated with.

Way too gamified
Gimmicks and awards and totally unnecessary nudges to play. I think this game is an unhealthy version of crosswords. Avoid!!
Français please
J’adore les mots croisés le problèmes c’est que je suis pas très forte en anglais alors ça me complique la tâche.. serait il possible qu’un patch français sois fait ?
Why I voted 5 ⭐️’s
Some clues are hard to find the word but overall really good game. No adds.
Solo ingles
No hay version en mas idiomas
Way too easy
So easy to the point of boredom. I wish there was different levels with different difficulty levels
Too easy
I love crosswords and when I saw the images with the large crossword puzzles in the App Store I thought this would be the perfect blend of challenge and fun. So far, the puzzles have been way too simple and there is no obvious way to skip ahead and start with puzzles that aren’t rated easy.
Fun Game
I love this game. Challenging but options for hints.
