Got me into cryptics!

After years of wanting to do cryptic crosswords but not knowing where to start, this is the app that made them click for me. Now it’s a favourite part of my daily routine and I anticipate the weekly minis. The clue writing is some of the best out there!

When I ask for a letter the letter doesn’t show and way too expensive for a game

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for trying the newest version of the app and for finding an edge case! We received similar feedback about the letter and we think it's to do with text-size settings. We've pushed a fix for it. Can you please try again and let us know if that's fixed that issue for you? If not, we'd love it if you could send us an email at support@minutecryptic.com so that we can dig into it further. Thanks again - Angas
