It's rare to find ANY Cryptic Crossword Puzzle app. This one has everything one would expect, except being able to use the default keyboard. Puzzles are challenging to very difficult as is expected for the genre. None have been mind-numbingly difficult. There is a slight British flavo(u)r to these, but I have found no modern source for Cryptic Crosswords not written by British authors. Knowing this is important for solving some clues, but does not detract from the experience. 5 Stars!

Very good app for those reasonably skilled at solving cryptic crosswords but not yet at the very expert level. Challenging but not frustrating. Also good for those who are beginners at solving this type of puzzle, and a good introduction to the genre for people who look at cryptic puzzle clues and are intrigued but baffled. It will help you make sense of it all.

I downloaded this with a cryptic crossword tutorial app just a month ago and now I can complete 90-100% of each puzzle. These are excellent beginner to medium level cryptic crosswords, especially because they include functions to check your answers as you go. There are plenty of free puzzles before they ask you to pay too. Excellent app - I will probably buy some extra puzzles when I've done the free ones because the developers deserve a contribution.
