User reviews

Now what?

I finish a puzzle and there’s nowhere to go from there! Am I missing something?

Alright

I understand that there needs to be ads, but the way they’re placed makes it impossible to play. Once in a while they’re not in the way and it’s playable, but it’s a rare occurrence.

Keeps changing

At least once a week I try to open the app and it doesn’t work. Frustrating enough to delete the app and forget it

Terrible Update

I can’t see the words to find. Clicking on a word rarely works. So frustrating to play now. Please please please bring back the old format with the red circles.

It’s back!

I love it! Clean, simple, and engrossing, like the newspaper version. The letters are pretty small and a bit too spaced out, which makes it kind of hard to see them. But other than that, it’s great.
