Pretty good for a free app

I like the fact that there is a new puzzle everyday and there a few others you can play right off the bat. As other’s mentioned, the letters are given to you (some you need and some you don’t) and it took me a while to figure out that even correct letters will be cleared unless you get the entire word correct. The clues are sometimes a stretch in my opinion and sometimes they use British slang and don’t mention their doing it...had to guess “prang” today as this word is not used in the US. Overall level of difficulty is easy to moderate.Yes this is a free app so you won’t get unlimited games...you get a few and then as you play, you win tokens or points to unlock other games. I’ve been playing a good few weeks almost every day and have always had a few puzzles to play. Also with the free app, there are ads...I just wait a few secs until the little x mark shows up to close the pop up and then I return to my next crossword. Pretty nice little app.

Fun, with just enough amount of Challenge! - Update

Fun & Challenging, but not too difficult to avoid it from being frustrating! I like the fact that I can complete the puzzles when I have time. Other entertainment apps require you to "check-in daily", or complete a game before closing the app, or you will have to replay it upon returning (as an example). I may not open the app for a few months, yet I know that my material will be safe for whenever I do. UPDATE: OCT 2018 - I’m enjoying the changes (improvements, modifications) that were recently done .. except for one item. When I click on “Main Menu”, WHYYYY does the app question my decision????! To me, there’s no reason for this .. and it’s just really annoying!!! REALLY!!!!! It’s not like my decision is going to lock me in, nor cost me money; so it just doesn’t make any sense. Maybe I’m the only one ... ??

Alright but annoying progress pop ups

I've been playing for a couple days and my biggest complaint is it seems that every other minute a new pop up is appearing telling me I've completed a goal in the quest - "wow, you found a word starting with S? Congrats! Let's interrupt your gameplay to tell you and make you tap several times to get back to it!" I don't care. And the game decides what words to give me so it's not like I've done anything special. Just show me the goals when I open a puzzle and show me when I win tokens for meeting goals.Otherwise it's alright, I've been having fun. I'd prefer not to see the set of letters it provides for each word until I tap to reveal them because it makes it too easy. I've played enough jumbled word games that my brain automatically picks words out of them, so I have to cover them up with my finger if I want an actual crossword experience and not a jumbled letter game. I'd like to see an option so you could choose your preference.

It's lots of fun....but

This is the fourth time I've tried posting a review (so I can get 20 free tokens) and each time it never posts, so let's try again....I play this game everyday and it's lots of fun. I like the way the game is laid out and it's easy to use. However there are a couple of issues: the amount of tokens you need to open up a new puzzle is crazy, particularly when you either have to watch ad after ad to get them, or buy them. Yes, if you come back everyday they will give you tokens, but at a certain point you would have to come back every day for 3 days straight just to have enough tokens to open 1 puzzle. The other issue is some of the words they use I've never even heard of before (I've been doing crosswords for 30+ yrs) A lot of the clues are also English (UK). Other then those issues, it's great.Now let's see if I get my free tokens!
