Crash

If you complete the third puzzle, nothing happens: the app freezes and no controls work. Only option is to force quit. Reopening just re-opens a frozen app with no controls

Head scratcher!

Great crossword app with some real head-scratching variety of clues!

Thanks for the puzzles!

Had a blast going through these crosswords. Just finished the third puzzle, but upon filling in the final clue the app crashed and I didn’t get a win screen. Every time I go back onto that puzzle it seems to fall over. Would be great to see this fixed in an update - it was nice to receive an emailed certificate when I finished the first one!

FAQ

What is The Big Crossword app?

The Big Crossword offers massive, single-grid crossword puzzles with over 1300 clues each. These puzzles are designed to be a significant challenge for solvers, featuring themed grids that are over 100 by 100 cells in size.

What are the different modes to play?

The app offers two primary modes: Quest mode, where each clue is part of a crafted quest with over 80 quests per puzzle, and Classic mode, which functions like a traditional crossword experience.

How does the hint system work?

If you get stuck, the app provides several hint options. These include revealing the start and end letters of a word, losing unused keyboard letters, or revealing an entire word. You can acquire coins for hints through in-app purchases or by watching reward adverts.

Is this app suitable for beginners?

While the puzzles are epic challenges, the app is designed for both crossword aficionados and beginners. The hint system and the 'mini grid' feature can assist players in navigating and completing the puzzles. Additionally, a separate app is available to learn how to solve cryptic crosswords.

How is the app monetized?

The app is free to download and play, but it includes in-app purchases for coins, which can be used to buy hints. Periodically, adverts are also shown, and users can earn extra rewards by playing daily.
