Excellent App

I use this a lot for cryptic crosswords and it’s really improved my solving skills. A useful additional feature would be to enable the use of a blank letter for anagrams, to help with Scrabble.

The Crossword & Anagram Solver

The best tool I have found to finish solving cryptic (and regular) crosswords. An excellent application! Takes the frustration out of finding words less used.
