Issues fixed
Works as expected
- ★★★★★paullydub
great games, but buggy
the app keeps asking for a rating - every daily, even if I’ve already rated it so i’m removing a star. stop bothering me!!!
- ★★★★★KKFin
Now you ask if I want to check when I already said CHECK
So, thanks for mostly reverting to what worked before. However, you still have a GLITCH where when I tap “Turn on Autocheck” on iPad, you demand confirmation. THAT’S WHY I TAPPED “TURN ON AUTOCHECK”!!!! Please fix this!

One of the best parts of my day
My favorite app. From Wordle to Connections to the Crossword- I rarely miss a day. Keeps my brain sharp and a great antidote to mindless scrolling

Disappointing app
I’ve downloaded this several times and always delete it quickly. It is difficult to navigate and any questions asked using the link are ignored. Today I wanted to post a comment in the connections companion but you need to dig into a haystack needle to find it. Just a frustrating experience and now that my travel is over I will delete it again

spelling bee archive is missing !!!
per title, archives for the other games are available, but for the spelling bee (my absolute favorite) it's completely gone . plz fix this, i wanna complete all the old spelling bees i missed !!!!!

Perfect App
I play daily. It’s great for passing time on the commute or while waiting. Started as a complete newbie but can now solve most puzzles. Fun to do, and I learn something, too. My only quibble is that the developers recently changed it so that you can’t open the daily crossword column and swipe between the puzzle and the column. You have to keep opening and closing the column to get back to the puzzle, which is a little annoying.
