Recommended for fans for quick crosswords
I’ve been working these for a few months now and it’s the only crossword app I use with any level of consistency. What sets Astraware apart is the options that they give you. If you like to play online, there are four new puzzles of varying sizes and difficulty every day, plus a larger puzzle every Friday that’s available for one week. Want to play offline? The downloadable puzzle packs are reasonably priced, and both online and offline play gives you the tools to crack the clues that stump you. Maybe asking for a letter in the word is all you need. Or (if online) you can use the solver feature to see words that could fit given what’s already on the board. The puzzles are the British quick crossword style, so they won’t take as long as American-style crosswords, but you’ll quickly discover that this app plays fair on all counts: Race the clock or solve at your leisure, use hints or not. You can’t ask for much more. Recommended!
