One Clue Crossword

Not enough ethnicity in pictures, suggest more pictures without people.

Over 1 minute ads! PLUS 3 supposed 5 second ads..

Don’t play as much because of the ads! They appear before you can decide which one you are going to play! When that happens I stop playing!


Usually the tokens build up while you are not playing. Now they don’t build up anymore so some days I can’t even play one frame despite the many ads thrown in. Would have given higher rating if there were more tokens and not so many ads thrown in when trying to decide which frame to do next. Really like this game but is getting very boring just doing one frame every few days. Very stingy on tokens now! The amount of wasted time watching over 1 minute ads is killing this game! Should be at least limited to 30 sec max! Are there going to be more puzzles? Cut out the ads over 30sec.!

Ridiculous time wasted on ads. If not for the length and multiple ads I would enjoy this game so much more. Developers need to be more strategic and have less ads to attract more people!

Fun Brain Game

One Clue Crossword is a fun relaxing game that exercises your brain!

Misspelled Words

The game is fun however they misspelled ALOT of words making it impossible to get it correct without spending coins. It’s ridiculous. How am I supposed to do a puzzle when I’m not given the correct letters or the correct number of box’s?

Different style crossword

I like that this is a different take on a crossword style game based on pictures. Its challenging but you can buy letters or eliminate those xtra letters not in the clue. I like that its not the usual word clue crossword & that you look at a photo in many different facets to get the clues
