Best Cryptic Crosswords Hack 1.9 + Redeem Codes

You know you have a good one when you worry about getting to the last puzzle. What happens if there's no update? What happens when there are no more puzzles to solve? Fortunately, this app gives you six packs with fifty puzzles in each pack. Like all puzzles, some will be more challenging than others. If you're an American (like me), there are some British place names that you'll struggle with but you'll be richer for the knowledge and experience you gain. I can't go back to doing American-style crosswords. Except for puzzles by Will Shorts, Am-style isn't a challenge unless you want to check how many synonyms you know.

I sought out this app after completing another cryptic crossword app by Teazel. That one I enjoyed but thought could have been more challenging. This one is indeed more challenging, but chiefly because many of the answers are particularly British: the name of a Liverpool football team, a British newspaper, a bird or plant known by different names in other English-speaking countries, etc. Those who have lived in the UK will more likely be familiar with these things, as might well-read Anglophiles, but it can be a bit frustrating to agonize over a cryptic clue only to eventually discover you struggled to put the pieces together because the answer was some local Brit trivia you’ve never heard of. Also, unlike the other Teazel crossword app, this one lacks an “Explain Clue” feature — a disappointing oversight. Those caveats aside, the puzzles are a fun challenge.

This is the only all-cryptic crossword app that isn’t just too easy. Sadly, I’m almost finished with all the puzzles so really hope they’ll do an update with more before I run out 🫣

Love these cryptics, but a previous set had a feature that explained the clue as a hint. I emailed the developer and they explained that the creators of the puzzles chose when to provide that. Still, would be great to have that. Otherwise, very nice!

The clues are pretty tricky. A nice challenge. Plenty of puzzles and good sized puzzles. The Reverse clues are very good. I thought I spotted several errors but I was misreading the clue. Great fun. Great satisfaction. Please add some more packs. They're helping me get through this COVID isolation. Many thanks.

When I'm just sitting around trying to kill a few minutes, these cryptics are perfect!

Just hard enough to make you think, but not too hard to get you frustrated!

I've been doing them for a few years and once you're done, you can start over!

Keep them coming!

I bought the six packs some time ago, and have been happily working my way through them. Lately, though, the app crashes for no particular reason. Using an iPad with OS 13.3.1. Time for an update?

I was disappointed that I could only do two free puzzles per group; the only way to “unlock” more is to pay! Puzzles themselves were okay, but clearly British/UK as many of the answers aren’t what we call those things in America.

Love the puzzles but I cannot unlock more. Screen frozen while “retrieving prices from Apple” !!!
Please advise.

Is there an “explain clue” reveal option on this app? I don’t see it on the free puzzles and don’t want to purchase the puzzle packs if there isn’t
