Great cryptic crosswords. If you're looking for a typical British cryptic puzzle, give this a go! Not the most difficult (if you're used to doing them) but definitely not easy as pi.

If you like cryptic crosswords, this is for you. Several free puzzles, and more to buy if you want. No popup ads that insist you watch them before you can get back to the puzzle. I have been able to give feedback by email, and there has been a quick response each time. Not for everyone, but just because you have never done cryptic crosswords before doesn't mean they are not for you. If you enjoy wordplay, you should try them.

Very good puzzles that are really testing my brain and I am still on the free games. The interface is easy to use and have had no problems on my phone (Sony Xperia XZ1). There are some other comments that the clues don't match the answers, but I haven't found that to be the case. A couple took me a bit to work out, but it is meant to be a puzzle! Worth a try.
