Upper case Hangman?

PS: THEIR (NEVER ADMIT YOU’RE WRONG) SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE TO HAVE TWO VERSIONS NOW! FIRST IS ALL CAPITALS AND SECOND LOWER CASE - EXCEPT FOR OCCASIONAL TITLE CAPITALISATION WHICH COMPOUNDS THE ISSUE! THANKFULLY THE CROSSWORD IS ALL UPPER CASE.
************
Used to be very good but not having been updated for a year a compiling “error”has crept in. On trying to complete Hangman was getting words with no vowels! Then realised that the current compiler is using lower case!
The iOS screen keyboard only has upper case so hangman can never be completed!!
App support from Apple Store has a broken link so have resorted to emailing each day explaining the issue with attached screen shot showing the solution. Several days later no reply and no resolution.
I suspect this is either lack of comprehension or journalistic arrogance in not liking being corrected.
BOTTOM LINE USE THE CAPS LOCK ON YOUR DESKTOP WHEN COMPILING HANGMAN. QED!

A read for all seasons….

A wonderful balance of real news, humour, life and entertainment. There’s always something to suit to suit my mood.

Great for puzzles

Easy to read newspaper and love the interactive puzzles. Shame there are no free puzzles at the weekend.

Great App

Ideal for getting a snapshot of topical news items whilst on the move.
Also a few games and quizzes to get you thinking when you just need a few minutes to yourself and fancy challenging yourself to complete them during your break!

Hangman error

Cannot complete the hangman puzzle as it seems to want lower case which I cannot use on my device. Please fix this.
