### 5/5 — Pay once!

*2025-11-10, version 3.0*

I’m so happy to have games from Sarah Pierce that have no adds!

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2024-04-10, version 3.0*

Apr 2024: this is now unsupported abandonware, with no ability to restore your previous purchases (which I thought was contrary to Apple’s policy).

### 3/5 — What a pity...

*2023-07-18, version 3.0*

Such a shame that once you’ve done just 8 puzzles, 2 in each of the different levels, (easy, normal, hard n expert) you’re DONE!
Off you have to trawl to iTunes to raid your bank to finance the progress... Real shame. 
For me, I don’t use iTunes for anything, cos I’ve been scammed in the past with having a money pot literally open to all online, and it’s once bitten twice shy... NEVER EVER AGAIN. 
So it’s over to the DELETE button for me.
A REAL SHAME.
3* cos the puzzles are good to do.. Just really disappointed at the unobtainable progress

### 5/5 — Crossword Scramble!

*2023-01-26, version 3.0*

❤️💙💛🧡💚💜; downloaded this game years ago and once you start you don’t want to stop.  I am still playing it and spreading the word about how much fun it is ❤️💙💛🧡💚💜.

### 5/5 — An enjoyable addictive challenge

*2022-11-26, version 3.0*

As above

### 5/5 — Challenging but fair.

*2021-08-24, version 3.0*

Words are often uncommon but not impossible such as ones associated with a unique field.

### 5/5 — Jump to next clue

*2021-05-23*

Love this game, however it would be even better if there was a forward and back button to jump to the next word/clue or it would automatically jump to the next word after completing a word

### 5/5 — Excellent puzzles

*2020-03-09, version 2.0*

These are excellent puzzles with a range of difficulties. They really help to prevent my ageing brain from seizing up completely.

### 4/5 — Fun to play

*2020-01-01, version 2.0*

Game is fun as well as keeping the brain active. I would prefer to have more free games because I am old and on a tight budget

### 5/5 — Crossword Scramble! is excellent.

*2019-07-23, version 2.0*

Recovering from a stroke ( left side, mainly aphasia ). For the first 12 months I found rearranging words using Easy a challenge with 3 letter and 4 letter words. Can you make an easier set?

### 2.0 — 2017-04-10

- A new error highlighting feature. The #1 request I received was for a way to get unstuck if you can't finish puzzle, and this feature should help. Press "Help" in the upper right while playing to turn it on. You can leave it on all the time to guard against those hard to spot typing errors (so frustrating!), or just turn it on temporarily if you need help to figure out an extra hard word.
- Bug fix for the message that the app may slow down your device
- New stuff added to the celebration when you win
