## The Big Crossword Description
The ultimate giant crossword puzzles!
 
Play the world's biggest and best single grid crosswords, with over 1300 clues in every grid. The grids are all over 100 by 100 cells in size.

Can you complete these epic crosswords?

These themed crosswords are a fabulous brain game if you love solving challenging puzzles.
Choose to solve the crosswords in two modes:
- Quest mode, where each clue has been carefully crafted into a corresponding quest. There are over 80 quests to complete in each puzzle.
- Classic mode where you play like an ordinary crossword

The crosswords have been professionally set, and tailored to suit both US and non US markets - with any specific cultural differences noted. We only use the best crossword setters!

They are epic challenges that only the best crossword solvers will be able to complete unaided.
However if you're completely stumped on a clue, the game features several hints:
- Reveal start and end letters
- Lose unused keyboard letters
- Reveal Word

Each puzzle also contains 140 cryptic clues to sharpen your wits, but fear not - our 'Learn Cryptic Crosswords' app teaches you how to solve those. Or just use your Hints!

The helpful 'mini grid' feature shows you where you are in the overall puzzle.

The game features in-app purchases to buy coins for hints, or you can watch reward adverts instead.
Periodically adverts are shown.

Earn extra rewards by playing daily.

Did we mention the size? They’re BIG - really BIG!

A real challenge for crossword aficionados or beginners.

## The Big Crossword Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Brilliant app"
one of the best crossword apps I’ve ever downloaded even the ads are only five seconds long and I’ve even downloaded a couple of games from them, completed both so more please
-- grahame g, 2024-08-27

### ***** "If you like crosswords this will test your endurance."
I have just completed the second release of ‘The Big’ crossword, having completed the first release last year. It took just over 6 hours spaced over several days to complete the 1300+ clues, was a lot of fun and a good test of most of the skills required to complete more normal-sized crosswords, including anagrams, (not too) cryptic clues, and knowledge of a varying range of subjects.
Looking forward to the next release.
-- peter01242, 2023-11-16

### ****- "Loved it!"
Great fun, love the fact it’s such a large puzzle so you can go in and out as needed. Was so useful during long and boring hospital wait, highly recommend, wish there were more puzzles to solve!
-- Emhop19, 2023-11-14

### ***** "Great value entertainment"
This app is great ‘bang for the buck’ but also ‘bang for the byte’ at under 13MB for many hours of puzzling. The addition of a second puzzle just makes it even more worthwhile. I think the cryptic clues are harder in the second one, which has as great a variety of clue categories as the first. Well worth having on your phone or iPad, and entertaining enough that I have replayed the first puzzle a couple of times, and expect to do the same with the second — once I can sort out those few remaining cryptic clues!
-- NickPDay, 2023-10-15

### ***** "Excellent"
II really enjoyed this it was interesting an informative
-- Dave2606, 2023-01-12

### ***** "Absolutely brilliant  - but…"
I absolutely loved this but the adverts drove me mad.  Not only are they much too frequent, but it tells you that an advert is imminent, locks it for 5 seconds before the add appears AND also removes the clue!  What a pity there is only one puzzle though.  I deleted it once I’d finished first time and then have downloaded it a few months later to have another go at it!
-- TrampledBrain, 2022-12-20

### ***** "Great app!"
I only recently got round to trying the iPhone version of this app and loved it.  So many intuitive features, eg: going to and from linked words is easy; not having to re-type crossing letters; clear visuals on iPhone screen; easy to jump in and out of specific Quests; great feedback on progress both with Quests and overall.  The 10% of clues being cryptic (the rest being straight clues) combined with their clear explanations make it a great learning tool for people starting out on cryptic solving.  I’d strongly recommend it.
-- Ipswich Solver, 2022-10-28

### ****- "Love this crossword but only one!"
This was very enjoyable. Although it’s very large, this tells you if you submit a correct answer- which is essential for such a big crossword but is also very satisfying and makes completing the crossword so much more enjoyable.  My only gripe is the disappointment that there is only one so no point in keeping the app after completing!
-- Nottheo, 2022-10-19

### ***** "Crossword with a difference"
I thoroughly enjoyed doing this crossword.  I liked that there were different categories within the grid. Some clues, you have to think outside the box.  The answers depend on how the clue is read.  I hope you bring out another one soon
-- greeneyedjean, 2022-03-29

### **--- "To many adverts"
I found the adverts repetitive and annoying. There are to many every three answers prompts another advert so that’s why I’m giving it a low score
-- Thefigmaster, 2022-03-08
