## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 2/5 — Good but

*2022-02-16*

Puzzle 53 has no solution so can not progress any further!!

### 2/5 — Poor

*2020-02-04*

Some of the clues are ridiculous. For example. “The range of things “. Answer “Range”. You should never have the answer in the clue. Also several spelling mistakes. “ A caly block”. Should read “A clay block”. Some of the clues don’t even relate to the answer

### 2/5 — Um...

*2019-05-09, version 1.3*

Initially thought this was great then became irritated by spelling mistakes and finally incensed by totally irrelevant clues...

### 3/5 — Enjoyed the crosswords thank you

*2020-02-22, version 1.3*

Great

### 3/5 — Smth? Please stop using that!

*2019-08-29*

The lazy typing is making a great game almost unbearable. I can only assume smth means something?

### 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

*2025-02-05, version 1.4*

I think that people would enjoy this crossword and play it.

### 4/5 — Actually cool!

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2024-07-27*

Haven't played through the whole app yet but so far it has work real smooth. Easy to learn. Very intuitive. Makes you think as not all the answers are common. If you are a high power crossword player then this may be too simple for you but try it anyway.
