User reviews

Very disappointed. After playing 39 of the developer's other, obviously British-leaning, crossword puzzles, I was excited to read they had a US version. I can honestly say they put far less effort into it. "US" game does not tell how many words are in an answer, other version does. There are odd clues/answers. E.g., I have never seen "cafeteria food" defined as "glop;" there are a few questionable examples just in the first puzzle but not enough characters allowed by Google to list.

I am enjoying the challenges in the puzzles and learning as I go. In my opinion, sometimes the clues are quite a stretch for the answers, but it helps to think outside the box. Great brain exercises.

Good game, only real flaw is the constantly asking you to buy after you already have. Same with the U.K. version - after a while they lose contact with Google Play and ask you to buy. Going to main screen and going back to current game gets rid of it. Minor annoyance.
