Can anyone recommend a decent crossword app?

Looking for straight, rather than cryptic, but not too easy. I currently have one called 'Crossword' (don't know how they thought of that!) but it's very basic.

The Irish Times Simplex and the Guardian Quick crossword are both great.

I've just discovered the guardian crosswords. I dont use the up, they're just just on line.

It automatically saves them and has s check button and a reveal button so you don't get stuck. It's restarted me doing crossword after years.

@ffswhatsnext it's ok, but I prefer the classic crossword style. Will check out the other suggestions, thank you.

I’m working my way through big crossword and enjoying it

NuzzleandScratch · 03/04/2020 19:59

@GertiMJN do you have to pay to subscribe to the Guardian to get those?

OP, the guardian ones are accessible for free. Just go on the website.

I'm glad some people keep doing crossword puzzles. I can't say I don't like online crossword puzzles, but I like paper ones better. It looks very atmospheric. Sometimes I get a frantic urge to come home after hard work, make myself a cup of coffee, sit in a rocking chair, and start doing the crossword puzzle. Lately, this desire has become very acute. Almost every day, I do my little hobby. But sometimes I have to go to crossword-solver.io/clue/horsy-sound/ when I come across a word I don't know at all. If you also like crossword puzzles but do not like getting stuck on one word, this site will help you.

Can you get the Irish Times simplex crossword for free? Mammy and I did it on a WhatsApps call Grin the other day and I'd forgotten how much I like it.

You don't need to subscribe and you can go back and access all the previously published ones.

It's heartening to know that people are still dedicated to solving crossword puzzles. While I certainly don't dislike online versions, I have a distinct preference for the classic paper ones – they just have a special kind of atmosphere. Sometimes, after a demanding day, I get this powerful craving to head home, brew some coffee, sink into a comfy chair, and lose myself in a crossword. This urge has felt particularly strong lately, making it an almost daily ritual for me. However, even dedicated puzzlers get stuck sometimes, and when I encounter a word that completely stumps me, I find myself visiting https://minicrosswordanswerstoday.org/. If you share the love for crosswords but not the frustration of getting stuck on a challenging clue, this website is a fantastic resource.
