Typos in word games are really annoying, and they’re common here. Today’s “way” for “why” is typical. Crossword clues frequently have the last letter truncated (is the clue “Sol” or “Solo”?). Whole games get repeated two consecutive days. There are frequent minor bugs - crosswords can’t decide whether they’re going to skip filled-in squares or overwrite them for example. All in all this feels like Lex is overextended and frantically rushing to complete the puzzles every day, making a bad experience for users.

Response from developer
I’m so sorry you feel this way. I’m not rushing to write puzzles; I’m running at least a month in advance. Because it’s a one man operation, typos do come up, and I deeply regret them, but I’m working hard on a longer term solution.
Crossword is mad buggy
Fun games. But the crossword is ridiculous: on an iPhone SE at least, the yellow highlight boxes and grid outlines are misaligned, the error checker highlighting is erroneous, long clues cannot be expanded, the completion checks on the Home Screen are mismatched with the crosswords (fine for other games), and the algorithm for advancing the cursor is unpredictable. Also: incessant prompts for a rating are vexing, especially when (clearly) I have rated it.

Sub is well worth it
Great selection of games, fun to play, idiosyncratic and challenging. The only problem is the fantastically buggy crossword — it draws poorly on my (small, I know) SE, the completion checkmarks don’t line up with completed crosswords reliably (only game that has that issue), a couple days ago it just wasn’t there, and today I had it right, but it claimed I was wrong. I revealed the words that were marked wrong and it wrote exactly what I had, but in lower case. 🤦♂️

Apple offers developers a means to ask for reviews through your app. Apple limits how often you see them. I apologize if my request for reviews caused you to feel that the app offered a one star experience.
