Highly recommend

I have struggled to understand cryptic crosswords and finally I am beginning to see the light! Great to have a free chapter to see how this app works. Everything is explained so well. Thank you so much for a great app.

Best App Ever

I am amazed and delighted by this wonderful app. At last I can understand how to do cryptic crosswords. The instructions are clear and the exercises such fun. Thank you.

Excellent learning tool

I now know why I disliked cryptic puzzles - I never understood them. Although I have only completed Lesson 1 I’m hooked! So much more than a typical crossword they’re the challenge I’ve been looking for. This app offers excellent mode-by-mode instruction, lots of reinforcing statements, and plenty of practice clues. This will be my first ever app purchase.
