What Reddit Says About Crossword Apps

One pain point I haven't seen addressed well there is desktop/browser apps for non-Mac platforms, which is my use-case. For that, I'm using the squares.io site, which allows you to upload a .puz file and solve it. The navigation is not what I prefer, but it understands rebus clues, at leas...

Ahh. I am always on the lookout for puzzles which are free to use with ads, but should have great user experience. I've already mentioned those in this post. Perhaps The Irish Times might interest you. The crosswords are behind a paywall, have an app, and are free of ads once you subscribe.

are you bringing the crosswords, or do you want an app with built-in crosswords? If you’re downloading .puz, .ipz or .jpz filed then Xword is the best.

I really like "Crossword Puzzle Page Redstone" and "alphacross Crossword".

Crosswords from Standalone Software is quite solid. I've been using it for ~12 years on my iPad. although it can auto-download only about 3 puzzles (BEQ, Jonesin, Newsday) these days. you can download .puz in Safari on your iOS device and open ...

Honestly the Apple News one is getting much better. Don’t expect NYT level but toward the end of the week they can get a little challenging. ... Crosswordr is a decent web app.

Fireball Crosswords, or The Crosswords Club for reasonable prices. ... I use alphacross. Fetches you a lot of puzzles from different sources. No subscription requires for most sources. You can also import .puz files if you have any. Totally good app.

10-30 minute puzzles will be different for everyone, so it’s a little hard to make a recommendation. Are you just focusing on Mondays for the larger puzzles? Definitely start there, in case you’re just picking days at random. Someone in this sub made a free app called OmniCrosswords that compiles pu...

The NYT app is great! I also recommend starting with the minis as well if the Mondays are too hard. ... I’ll second NY Times Mondays and minis.

Not sure if they’ll do this for you but might be worth a shot. ... Try the New Yorker. Monday is hardest with each doing getting progressively easier to Thursday and Friday being a themed puzzle.
