Clear clues, makes you think

The puzzles are not overly large meaning you can complete one in a relatively short time. The clues are generally straightforward although they occasionally make you think about what the clue may be asking (noun versus verb or different contexts an answer could be used). The only complaint is that the clues don’t specify if the answer is one word or two, which again makes you think.

First time!

This is my first crack at this type of game. I have worked crossword puzzles before, but was with a pencil and a couple crossword dictionaries. Well at least its all in one iPad. I do enjoy it!!!
