OMG I’m addicted
“I can’t stop doing the daily challenge. My partner and I spend hours trying to beat each other. Ever since we downloaded this app we haven’t put our phones down. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who has a competitive partner at home”
@OlphatWalrus22
My favorite tea time app
“I love the UI here for solving crosswords! the refresh clue and reveal options because at times I’m just stuck and don’t want to google the answers. Great app, just paid to try it for the year - cheaper than coffee at Starbucks!! Would recommend!”
@wordnerdkal
Love it
“This has now become my daily routine! Love the puzzles and feel like I learn something new everyday while having fun!! Highly recommend it.”
@Manjwolf
Great app, couldn’t be happier
“Really solid especially after the NYT one is now paid only. Lots of stuff limited to the premium version (Bigger crosswords, hints, the archive of puzzles) but if you are just wanting a good app for a daily mini - it’s perfect”
@Blahblablha
Love it!! So addictive
“Really fun to do - wife and I do this everyday!”
@Niravjt
Perfect daily brain warmup
“Honestly, this has become part of my morning routine. The mini format is clutch - takes just a few minutes so I can actually finish it unlike those massive crosswords I’d abandon halfway through.”
@Psylentbubbles
my daily source of joy and learning

Clean, simple, elegant
“An elegant mini crossword - Good variety from day to day. Can’t find another free version without ads at the same level. Paid version adds extra perks for the aficionados.”
@sampgr
Amazing game but one glitch
“Don’t normally write reviews but I really love this crossword game ever since the NYT removed the mini from their free section”
