Knows words Webster doesn't recognize! ### 5/5 — 5* *2016-04-11* Fabulous App, easy and quick ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-09-04* There are lots of crossword helpers and solvers out there, and I've tried most of them. This is the most useful and the app is very fast compared with browser-based solutions. It's therefore my favourite crossword helper. It will allow you to enter known letters in your word or offer synonyms of the clue, grouped by letter length. I downloaded the free version and despite the annoying ads that take you out of the app and into Safari, I persevered with it. I finally purchased the ad-free version for a few pence, but it was well worth the money. Try it for free but don't be put off by the ads. I'm sure you will upgrade soon to remove them. ### 5/5 — Reb *2014-05-07* Brilliant, can't fault it. Easy to use. Type in known word and it gives you many alternatives. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-04-13* Handy when I need it ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2014-01-20, version 2.4* Wonderful help if you like to work crossword puzzles! ### 5/5 — terrific *2014-01-04, version 2.4* this app is simply wonderful - a great help with crosswords!! ### 5/5 — Crossword app *2013-10-13* Excellent App. Use it every day. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2013-09-09* Love this app. My crossword companion. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2013-04-29* Very helpful. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Best ever *2013-04-04, version 2.2* Easy to use and comprehensive ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work as shown *2021-01-20* Does not give definitions as shown. Does not return a thesaurus as shown. ### 1/5 — Latest update ruined it *2019-11-19* Can no longer go back. Have to exit the app to return to menu. Previously worked ok. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2010-10-16, version 0* I am not happy with this. It will not bring Up a definition at all. The free version Worked for awhile then it Stopped. The Pay one has never worked do not buy! ### 2/5 — Developer doesn't get it *2012-11-07, version 2.1* I have two apps from this same developer, WWF Lookup and CW Lookup. You'd think they were developed in different countries since they use different dictionaries. Almost 10% of the words that DON'T show up here, will show up in WWF Lookup. This is confusing and makes this app minimally useful. ### 3/5 — Definitions no longer work *2016-01-07, version 2.4* Still useful, but was much more useful when the definitions worked. Apparently hasn't been updated for over two years. ### 4/5 — Crossword whiz *2015-02-14* Great for filling in the blanks ### 4/5 — Mixed *2014-09-05* I have tried a few of these type of apps but I have found this to be the best. ### 4/5 — Words *2013-11-22, version 2.4* Very helpful. With other App. games. Use it a lot. ### 4/5 — Who knew! *2013-07-08, version 2.2* That there are so many word options. Great aid in building in words. Only complaint is some of the words aren't accepted by Scrabble--but big help with Crosswords--and user friendly. CJ ### 4/5 — Great Help *2013-06-27* This app has really helped me improve my crossword skills ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Used every day . *2024-08-15* Daily go to for assistance with cryptic crossword , dictionary and thesaurus for all things word/spelling related . A great learning tool . ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2022-10-27* Couldn’t do without this app. ### 5/5 — Best app ever for crossword help *2022-04-01* 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. ### 5/5 — John *2021-03-05, version 3.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Ten out Of ten *2020-08-14* What’s not to love about this app. I use it on a daily basis. It is so well designed to access a huge variety of vocabulary information. Great stuff ### 5/5 — Translation *2020-05-12* This app is really great, but do you also have it for the Spanish Language. I often get stuck, when I do Spanish crosswords. I am learning Spanish and crosswords help me to increase mat vocabulary and introduce me to new words. ### 5/5 — Versatlle useful APP worth every penny *2019-03-13* Brilliant APP ### 5/5 — In a DASH and need some SPACE! *2017-05-14* Great little app which I use all the time. It is really useful when all other methods of crossword solving have been exhausted. One small request, though: please tighten things up so that 2-word solutions are more consistent in the use of a space or a dash (because this can increase the number of letters to be searched). Apart from that, 5 stars all round! ### 5/5 — Daily use *2017-04-13* Really would be lost without this to help me cheat my way through the Times crossword. Even tends to be my go-to dictionary. ### 5/5 — CW *2016-12-05, version 3.2* Very helpful whe doing crosswords. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
