The game is really fun and it is addictive, I love playing it. The ads are short and bearable, and not super often so it’s a really good balance. I find the crosswords challenging enough without being boring but also not completely impossible to solve. I only give 4 star because of 2 things: 1. I’d like an option to pay to remove the ads, there is no such option to pay like £5 or whatever to have an ad free experience. 2. Using the game makes my current phone (which I only got a brand new a month ago) absolutely boiling hot to the point where it lags. This isn’t an issue I have with any other games or app, so it seems the game uses a lot of energy from the phone; which is strange as it’s not a particularly complex app or anything. This means I can only play it in 15 minute increments to avoid my phone getting too toasty, which is really annoying. I don’t know what causes this but a fix would be really useful.
