Learn Cryptic Crosswords

Always wanted to learn how to do cryptic crosswords, but the amount of tricks you need to learn seemed overwhelming - but this app breaks it down perfectly and at such a good pace. It’s awesome!

It’s so good.

I didn’t realise this app hadn’t been updated for years until I bought it. You can’t fill in any of the answers as the interactive element of the app no longer words. I fear I’ve wasted my money.

Subjects gently introduced then simple and then harder exercises. This is super.

I’ve wanted to learn cryptic crosswords since watching Inside no.9’s Riddle of the Sphinx. This really is the perfect solution for learning cryptic crosswords. I’ve tried a few sources but none are as comprehensive as this. Each topic is gradually introduced and many opportunities are given for you to put your newly learned skills into practice. I see a few review complain at the cost…. For me a fiver is excellent value. It’s essentially an interactive book. There is also a brilliant feature which will explain the answer if there is a clue you can’t solve.

Great

Very well put together and informative guide to cryptic crosswords. Definitely worth the small amount to unlock the full app.

I had worked my way through a book on this theme, which gave me a start. When I found this app and read the reviews I knew this would move me on. It didn’t disappoint! I did find myself, in the sample crosswords at the end, staring at them and feeling I couldn’t do them, but each time, using the handy toolkit, I was able to tackle them. Such a delight! And now I can look outside of the app and feel cautiously confident that I can keep it up and go on improving. Many thanks to the author. Such a good teacher.

The information in this app is well written and thought out. It can take a beginner like me from hardly being able to solve at all to understanding the underlying meanings of what’s written in a cryptic clue. It’s the best app I’ve bought. My enjoyment of solving cryptic crosswords has soared as a result.

Really clear and good way to learn cryptic crosswords :)
