HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (279 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Plus puzzle award

I am really enjoying this app it is the best crossword app out there. However, I was really bummed tonight whenever I reached my 200 plus puzzle goal to receive a 50 coin reward and the “button “ would not work. I got out and back in that area and tried it again and it was gone, but yet it shows me as achieving that goal in my list below the award area 🥲

★★★★★Feb 28, 2026
Terrible and not user friendly

The puzzles are good but the app stinks!!! I contacted the developer since the app on my iPhone and iPad don’t read each other so my level of game on my phone are at higher game level than my iPad. Even thought I have same login, data and games don’t match on3another. Pain so I hardly play anymore. They never properly answered my question on how I can get my devices show the same games.

★★★★★Jan 14, 2026
SMALL!

The new windows update caused the app to shrink! This is my favorite game! HELP!!
