Clean Crosswords

UPDATE: I appreciate that the developer has responded. I didn’t understand the % solved part very well. Thank you for clarification. And I appreciate that the developer has not dismissed the need to have the game automatically fit to various screen sizes. PREVIOUS 3-STAR REVIEW: I’ve solved 8 puzzles so far but it tells me: 0% solved so far. What gives? Also, the puzzle needs to fit to horizontally to the iPad Air 4 screen. It’s two columns short of fitting the screen in portrait position.

Enjoy my word game to keep my mind sharp and enjoy the challenge.Thank you SwattyDimps

Recently I was asked to okay ads to help pay for this game. I agreed since ads were already appearing and I wasn’t prepared to pay money to play. Since that time I can seldom solve one word before a new ad appears. Once the ads start they appear about once every ten to twenty seconds. It is almost impossible to play this game anymore.

Some of the ads will not allow you to ignore them. Thay lock up the game. I log off and wait to restart. Very IRRITATING.

Ads flashing constantly at the top of the puzzle and other full screen ads interrupting gameplay so frequently have ruined this app for me. It was one of my favourites for a very long time so I’m very sad they’ve now ruined it in this way. (They are trying to force you to pay to opt out of ads that had never been there before.)

Sometimes I can’t get the “p” button to work as well as the help button doesn’t open - very annoying

This has a wide selection. But the popup ads, while necessary for a free app, are annoying; they were few at first but are now quite frequent. Also, many british expressions that we north-americans struggle to guess...i.e. “brolly” for umbrella. 4/5.

For the most part, I enjoy these puzzles. There are always a few words I have think about and/or learn. Lately, the keyboard doesn’t show unless I turn my iPad to portrait and then back to landscape. Also, the puzzles seem to be larger than my screen and require a lot of moving around. Not sure if this new, but would prefer if it fit the screen.

Some of the answers are misspelled.Makes it difficult.
