What's New in Klew

2.8

October 24, 2026

A LAUNCH WITH A LITTLE LETTER Klew now opens on its own launch screen, and today's first letter drops into the cell before Home appears. Tap to skip, and it steps aside for links and notifications. YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE Seven squares show your week. Each day you solve fills in its letter: ink if you solved it that day, pencil if you caught up later. Tap any day to see its three puzzles. This week's 13x13 sits right underneath. THAT'S TODAY. Finish the day's 5x5, 9x9 and 11x11 and Home says so, with your times and your streak. New puzzles arrive at midnight ET. ONE NEXT STEP After every solve, one button takes you to what's next: the next size, this week's 13x13, or Home. KEEP PLAYING Puzzles you started come first, then the last week's dailies you haven't played, with See all one tap away. FASTER, QUIETER LOADING Home fills in section by section and tries again on its own. Little squares replace the loading text. STAY SIGNED IN Fixed a bug that could sign you out unexpectedly. If it happened to you, Klew offers to pick up where you left off. CHALLENGES, SETTLED Open a friend's challenge and the finish card tells you who won. STEADIER ON IPAD Fixed hangs while typing into the grid. Plus smaller fixes: switching between pencil and keyboard on iPad is now instant, clearing your bio now saves, and Settings no longer overwrites your notification choices after a failed load.

Best part of the day

Phenomenal, love the beginner mode.

Not proper crosswords

The same clues are used across the days for different crosswords to the point where after five days you will know a third of the answers from memory

Game-breaking โ€œbugโ€

They wanted to make an app where you can use the Apple Pencil to answer crosswords like they are on a real newspaper. I like the idea, but the execution is awful. If you make a mistake, you instinctively go to cross the letter out. This doesnโ€™t get rid of the letter though. Instead it either ignores the scribble, or replaces the incorrect letter with the scribble itself. There is no way to get rid of this, even deleting it with the keyboard doesnโ€™t work as the scribbles remains. If they fixed this issue it would be pretty decent, but this one issue makes the game unplayable.

Response from developer

Thanks for this, youโ€™re completely right, and itโ€™s fixed in the update coming this week. Scratching out a letter will erase it (ink and all), same as youโ€™d expect on paper, and deleting always leaves a clean cell. The pencil mode is exactly why I built Klew for iPad, so this report genuinely helped. -Henry

Good one slight fix needed

As soon as I complete the puzzle it immediately shows the score. We never get to see the completed puzzle. There should be an option to see it.
