What's New in Klew

2.0

July 27, 2026

Klew 2.0 is the biggest update yet: make crosswords, not just solve them โ€” and turn every solve into a race. THE MINI BUILDER Lay out a 5x5 grid, fill in your words, write your clues, and publish. Share a link with anyone, and friends who follow you will find your minis in a new row on Home, with a push the moment yours goes live. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Finish a puzzle and see how you stack up against everyone who solved it today. Then challenge a friend: send them your time, and they can take you on right from the link, no app required. You'll hear the moment they answer, and the next morning's puzzle becomes your rematch. A BETTER FINISH Your time, points, and rating arrive in a quick sequence, with a line showing exactly how your points were earned. Big moments get their due: a new rank or your 100th solve brings a full-screen celebration worthy of it. SOLVING, REFINED Autocheck flags wrong letters as you type, so one mistake cannot snowball. Guess Mode sketches in letters you are not sure about. New solving preferences put you in charge of the details, plus pinch to zoom on the big weekend grids and swipe the clue bar to move between clues. And important stability fixes, including one for a rare crash that could repeat on launch.

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.

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.
