Just what I needed
I’m new to cryptics and was looking for ways to learn their tricks. This app was exactly what I needed! Well worth the small purchase to unlock the full set of tutorials. I love how it builds the lesson from the trivial to the practical. Thank you.

Beautifully done
I’ve never written a review for an app before but I had to write this one! I truly believe I would have given up on cryptic puzzles believing them not for me without this app. I tried to find ways to learn but felt like I had gaps in my knowledge that left solving puzzles impossible. This interactive introduction has been fun and informative and I know by the time I reach chapter 7 I’ll be completely confident in tackling cryptic puzzles!! Great work and thank you for my new hobby!
