Very fun

I like this because the difficulty doesn’t ramp up so quickly that I feel like a moron. I’m not a professional crosswords player. I’m just a dude that likes the occasional fun game on my phone.Edit: December 2025What happened? My beloved chill out app to slow down and relax with now has popups during each game, and more than one. It’s annoying. At first I thought what the heck I’ll try it, and I got lost in what game I’m even playing. You leave the current board, then the next on and so on. It’s disorienting. Now I just dismiss all that noise so I can get back to relaxing. I don’t want engagement bait. This isn’t TikTok and that’s what I like.

The transitions are clunky, the op-ups and banners abrasive, and the game play awkward. The animation overall just feels slightly jarring and the puzzle questions are often repetitive, with a fair amount of the clues feeling like they’re really reaching in credibility over witty association.The “themed” puzzles have very little to do with their actual theme, and the ones that do are often rather obscure.It was a fun time killer for a slight while, but got old fast…

Horrible, horrible update

The previous app was not perfect. It was a little buggy and the puzzles were dated and often repetitive. However, it was very low stress and was an excellent game if you needed to kill 5-10 minutes.This new update completely ruined it. The coin system is completely unnecessary and ruins the experience. All I want to play is a straightforward crossword puzzle. Now when I open the app I can't even get 15 seconds in before being subject to "competing" for coins and prizes.I have no idea what the developers were thinking with this update. Because it's on Apple Arcade, it's not even like you can milk money out of people like games with similar prize systems. That said, I would not be surprised if this is the arcade version of a game that you intend to release on the App Store that's going to implement all these freemium tropes with the requirement to spend real money to keep playing.It's so frustrating that I have to delete this game now. I'll check back in a month or two to see if any positive updates get released.

Thank you for your feedback! We introduced coins based on player suggestions—many users found it frustrating to wait for hints, and coins now allow for a smoother, uninterrupted experience. This change has also helped us unlock exciting new features that you'll discover as you progress through the game. We understand it’s a big shift and might feel different at first, but we hope you’ll give it a little time. We're confident you’ll enjoy what’s ahead!

This used to be a fun, chill, and casual crossword game; perfect when you have a few minutes. I don’t know what came over the devs in the past few months, but they opted to throw all that out the window for what I can only describe as “typical modern mobile game-isms.”Daily gifts! Pointless in-game currencies! Random achievement popups! Unnecessary gacha elements (lucky spinner, anyone)! Weird, poorly explained, and ultimately pointless competitive modes!Why?! I just want to solve a few silly little puzzles when I have a few free minutes. Why is that so hard for mobile developers nowadays to grasp?
