Here is Monday’s puzzle this week! We have a fix in the pipeline for the last letter issue in the scramble on mobile, but that shouldn’t affect this puzzle. Still ideal on desktop for now!

Hope you enjoy!

Instructions:

  1. Solve the grid using the clues provided. The direction of the word is indicated by the number around the grid (so some words are backwards).
  2. After you complete the grid, click the pencil icon tab at the bottom to switch over to solve the anagram. The title is a hint to the anagram!

    5:38 fist time, a great game! a few suggestions for stupid people like me.

    1- I missed you instructions in the post and there is nothing in the game regarding how to play other than the “Solve the crossword, words begin at the numbers, some clues might be reversed”. You should add the rest or make an instructions button to bring it up.

    2- Have the button for the scramble be something other than a pencil icon, took forever to figure out that there was a scramble ( having not read the instructions in the post) with the “not quite” pop up getting frustrating. The pencil icon looks like an “edit” icon so I never clicked it. I found the scramble by accident swiping right.

    3- Cache the game so leaving and returning does not clear it but provide a reset button.

    4- provide a copy results to clipboard (share) function.

      No no, don’t let the current design be cause of calling yourself dumb! That’s an excellent first-time score!

      1. I’ve put “have instructions” as a high priority fix on our dev board, so I’m hoping we’ll be able to get something up in a week or two to this effect!

      2. The end goal is to move everything to a single page layout so we won’t need to switch tabs at all! Agree it’s not intuitive right now.

      3. Will look into this one!

      4. This is big on my list once the user interface issues are sorted, completely agree. We need the instructions first and then the mobile bugs to be fixed before I share this more broadly in places where I can’t interact with the wonderful people bearing with the current interface <3
