So here's my honest take on Cryptic Crossword. I've tested a bunch of word game apps and this one's pretty solid. The puzzles are legit challenging but not impossible, which I like. And the UI is clean and the features are useful. My only real gripe is the ads - they can get old after a while. But you can pay to remove them. Overall, it's a great option if you're into cryptic crosswords and want to keep your brain active.

Description

Been using Cryptic Crossword for a couple months now. It’s basically a challenging crossword app with a ton of puzzles to solve. Pretty solid if you’re into word games and brain teasers.

Here’s what you do: there are hundreds of cryptic crosswords to tackle, and you can use features like zooming, clue lists, and even cheats if you get stuck. It’s got a tutorial too which is helpful if you’re new to cryptic crosswords. And you can share your progress on social media, which is a nice touch.

Look, if you’re a crossword junkie like me, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want a fresh challenge.
