new addiction

adore this app!! please add dark mode 🤍

Love it! Wish I could afford a membership.

I adore these puzzles! So incredibly satisfying to crack em, and rarely do I feel that ones I can’t crack were impossible for me. I just wish a membership wasn’t $9 a month! For $1-$3, I’m all in, even if it only gives me access to the archive and bonus clues and nothing else. Here’s hoping!

Good but would love to be able to highlight

I really enjoy this app! One feature I’d love to see added is the ability to manually highlight words or sections of a clue without revealing any hints.

I’m quite a visual thinker, so being able to colour-code and highlight different parts of a clue myself would really help me work through the wordplay independently. Currently, the highlighting is tied to the hints, which can give away more than I’d like.

It would be great to have a separate highlighting tool that lets us visually break down clues without spoiling the challenge!

Intelligent, fun puzzles that make you think!

Really fun, quick challenge to start everyday. Can’t recommend enough

The best app of its kind.

Plenty of enjoyment to be had with the free tier, with even more added to the paid membership tier. Perfect in every way.
