What real reviews say
★★★★★ Games I enjoy the Connections, the Crossword and Wordle with my morning coffee. A great way to start my day
★ Stop asking me if I’m feeling stuck when I select check puzzle during the crossword. Give me the ability to not have it ask if I’m feeling stuck and just have it check.
★ Doesn’t support slightly older OS Super annoying that it doesn’t support OS 17.7
