Crossword Solver
1) Contains many thousands of Proper Nouns, including full names, professions, nationality, date of birth and death for about 65,000 famous people & deities and around 24,000 places, i.e. countries, cities, rivers, mountains etc. It also knows the names and dates of 65,000 popular movies, books, songs and albums. These proper nouns are essential for solving general knowledge clues, which can make up to 20-25% of crossword clues. These clues are the type that you either know them or you don't, i.e. difficult to just guess, so if you do not know a particular person you are usually stuck.2) Provides filters to reduce the list of possible answers. This is essential when only a few letters are known. E.g. you can filter out rarely used words.3) Choose the language of the word list, from a large range of downloadable dictionaries. 24 languages are currently available (see below).4) Contains 5 different modes for help solving Crosswords, Anagrams, Synonyms, Codeword, and Cryptic Crosswords. Codeword mode allows the user to specify which letters are already known (and hence not considered for the unknown letters), and which unknown letters are the same (i.e have the same Codeword number). Cryptic mode contains extra help with many examples.5) Solves "two word" answers. This is very useful in combination with first and last names of famous people. It also finds "two word" anagrams.6) View answers in multiple columns. Optimized use of screen space. Takes full advantage of size of tablet.7) Can be played in portrait or landscape mode. Just rotate your device and the display adjusts automatically.8) The dictionary also contains some foreign language words. These are often found in some crosswords. Foreign words are English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Latin.9) Contains about 150,000 synonyms, using the built-in thesaurus, to help find the solution from the clue.

I really can't fault this app. I used to use a Casio crossword solver, compared to this app its so ridiculously slow it's beyond comparison. One app I've never regretted installing, and would highly recommend.
Fast and efficient with useful filters. However dictionary link is poor .
Excellent app for finishing crosswords, codewords and puzzles involving anagrams. Highly recommended.
Took a little getting used to but is now my go to when I have difficulty with my crosswords. An excellent solver.
Easy and straightforward without much ad interruption.
Best crossword ap I've found so far, loads of options to enable me to find a word to fit in a puzzle
Very easy to use. I use it every time I do puzzles. Would highly recommend

Great relief to use it at crossword/cheat time, on phone and kindle, very handy
This is a very useful app. Great for all sorts of word puzzles.
this is the best crossword solver app, been using it for years...wouldn't even consider any other
Use it a lot for finishing crosswords. Brilliant.
Like the way you can solve for hyphenated or even two words
Great for finding xword solutions! Love it, thanks!
Excellent, but missing the occasional word
I downloaded it because the google description made me believe I could solve puzzles in Afrikaans which it cannot 👎
Very helpful when struggling with crosswords.
Easy to use and very helpful
Best app of its type we have found. Has the answers to most of our questions.
useful to have crossword and anagram solvers in the same place.
Use this app several times a week. Would be lost without it.
I like this app. It gives a good range of suggested answers.
Excellent for help with crosswords
Excellent and comprehensive
This App is very helpful and easy to use. I am loving it
ok for one word clues need clues put in to make it better for solving crosswords !🤔🤔
Isn't easy to use and very confusing. I searched up eardrum and it gave me a dictionary option and nothing else. Easier on google. I checked and saw it was on crossword mode. The home screen of the app is a bit creepy as well with two people standing, both animated. Would not really recommend unless you can use this app properly.
