Cryptic Clue School is an on-device course for learning how English cryptic crossword clues work. ・Learn thirteen clue devices in order Study anagrams, hidden words, charades, containers, reversals, deletions, homophones, and other core devices one at a time. Each lesson includes common indicators and plain explanations. ・Walk through worked examples word by word Completed examples reveal the definition, indicator, fodder, connector, and wordplay in sequence. See not only the answer, but why every part of the original clue is there. ・Practice with a staged hint ladder Ask first for the definition side, then the structure, and only then the answer. Correct solves earn stars and XP, while progress shows mastery by clue device. ・282 original clues and a five-tier arena Work through thirteen lessons and 282 original clues. Completing lessons opens arena sets arranged across five difficulty tiers. ・Progress stays on your device Stars, XP, streaks, and solve results are stored on device. No account or external content API is required. The English clue text remains visible in every interface language because it is the material being studied. Supported screens may show a bottom banner; full-screen ads may appear only at natural pauses after a clue is solved or revealed. An optional one-time Remove Ads purchase hides both formats.

きぶんタップは、いまの気分を「振動」にして手首で感じる、Apple Watch だけのアプリです。 ■ 6つの気分 うれしい・おつかれ・あいたい・ありがとう・がんばれ・ねむい。画面から1つタップするだけです。 ■ 気分ごとに、違うリズム 振動は気分ごとに作り分けています。うれしいは、はずむような3連符。おつかれは、深呼吸のようなゆっくりした2拍。あいたいは、心臓の鼓動のようにドクッ、ドクッ。目をつぶっていても、どの気分か分かるように設計しました。 ■ 言葉にしなくていい 気分をいちいち文章にするのは、けっこう疲れます。このアプリは、選んで、感じて、終わりです。入力欄はありません。 ■ 送った記録が残る いつ、どの気分だったかが記録に残ります。あとから見ると、その日の自分が思い出せます。まとめて消すこともできます。 ■ iPhoneは要りません Apple Watch だけで完結します。ポケットからiPhoneを出す必要はありません。 ―――――――――― ・広告はありません ・アプリ内課金はありません ・アカウント登録は不要です ・インターネット通信は一切しません ・ヘルスケアのデータには一切アクセスしません
