### 5/5 — Not To Hard

*2026-06-30, version 1.4*

Just started playing, so far enjoying.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2026-02-16, version 1.4*

As the title says, could be better. Obviously English isn’t the creators first language. 
Loads of terrible typos and shorthand used in the clues. Such as “smth” instead of something, and “caly” instead of clay. 
Laziness? Possibly. But what ever it is, it makes some of the puzzles almost impossible until you crack the gibberish code.

### 5/5 — Mind work

*2025-12-21, version 1.4*

Very g—d
L-k- it

*2025-10-02, version 1.4*

### 4/5 — Question

*2025-07-02, version 1.4*

Enjoy this game. Love the simple layout. How do I open the next crossword with the question mark on it?

### 4/5 — The crossword puzzles
