Contact Crossword Puzzle Redstone Support

I’ve only tried about 10 games so far & consistently find that the puzzles have clearly not been crafted by people who understand how crossword clues should be made.

A large number of the clues aren’t crossword clues per se, they’re general knowledge questions like “the role Julia Roberts played in Oceans 11”. Also, a large number of clues are merely synonyms. Some of them are almost impossible to guess because the answer is in fact incorrect or bad grammar. Like the one where the correct answer should have been a 3 word answer: ‘The Plot Thickens’ & instead the answer was ‘thickening plot’. I guess you could argue it’s a creative/poetic version of the phrase but as an English Major & writer it’s just infuriating. There are WAY too many abbreviations & most of them are specific to America. I don’t know how they found the people who created these crosswords but they just make me want to express words that are cross. 😑

First off, I love crossword puzzles and I really like this app. I’ve had the free version for quite sometime and finally took the plunge for the ad-free version. What I’d hope to find was syncing between the apps. The iPad and iPhone versions do not appear to be “talking”. My completed puzzles are matching, even the ones in progress aren’t matching. That’s my biggest issue. One other issue is the filtering. I like being about to sort by size and difficulty but would really like to be able to sort by creator. And maybe even some sort of order to the main page, alphabetical or numerical. Everything inside the puzzles themselves I like. They’re responsive to touch and do not feel clunky in the least. I am happy to support this team by paying for the app because of all the hours of enjoyment I’ve had over time. The aforementioned issues aside, this is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ app.

my biggest qualm is that lot of words are super repetitive within a particular creator, especially short ones (like “era” or “ccc” or “old” over and over). no one specifically, but generally across the options. so for example within one “pack” or whatnot i’ll have the same word multiple times and even multiple times within the same puzzle. i stopped doing the “easy” ones and that helped the repetitiveness. hints/solves you can use from the one across website are hardly ever right/helpful/even remotely possible with what’s “locked in” from being correct. the only puzzles i like are by p. pasco, so she or he should do some more. i finished the pack and now im bored again. i’m still going to play it because i don’t have a better option and in the grand scheme of things it’s really not that bad. overall i recommend.

edit: i also like the ones by Gentry. need more Gentry and Pasco talent on this app asap!!!

edit: i think i’m biased towards pasco because the content is young and fresh and interesting and incorporates some spanish. it’s things that are actually relevant to me. so maybe you need more young authors? idk, good luck!
