Oreo Ono Oreo Ono Oreo Oh No

Too US Centric.

Over 200 ‘partners’ to send data to, and you sit there and wonder why everyone uses the website with adblockers, then have the gall to complain? I do wonder why.

Too many ‘try hard’ clues and answers (writing this on August 5th where a clue was ‘Stephen from V for Vendetta’, the answer was NOT Stephen Fry but a complete nonentity instead)

There are other biscuits and cakes out there other than Oreo’s you know. Oh and Yoko Ono isn’t the only singer as well.

Truly Hated Today’s Puzzle

One of the worst I’ve ever solved in my 50 years of doing crosswords.

Update blocked hints

Hints don’t work in all puzzles, crosswords, etc. and in spelling bee it opens an unclosable page and You have to force close the app to close it. Fix it please!!
