Couldn’t do without this app.

Best app ever for crossword help

As a crossword aficionado, my success in solving tricky clues is enhanced enormously by this brilliant app. The fact that it gives links to the definitions of most of the suggested words is an added bonus.

Good app, I have a old dictionary program on my PC that did this plus it was a dictionary and spelling aid in that if you got close it would show you the correct spelling. The last item would be a nice addition to this app.
