USA TODAY CROSSWORDS PUZZLES UPDATE
USA TODAY CROSSWORDS PUZZLES ARCHIVE

They need to study the New York Times crossword app and come up with something like that. I love the USA Today crosswords, but this app is absolutely hideous to use. It’s about right for me now, being a crossword newbie, but I feel like I might outgrow them in less than the timeframe of the one year subscription I purchased. In difficulty, they’re roughly equal to a bit easier than an NYT Monday puzzle. The puzzles themselves are pretty good but there can be a lot of word repetition from day to day.

USA TODAY CROSSWORDS PUZZLES ARCHIVE

I have to force close the app and restart it, then go though the slow multi-step process to get to a puzzle from the archive again. The keyboard acts like it’s working but no letters appear. After I’ve completed a puzzle, if a start a second, more often than not I can’t type in the boxes. Loading the puzzle archive takes forever, and it defaults to showing all puzzles instead of unplayed ones, so you have to select the option for only unplayed puzzles and then wait forever a second time. This makes navigating the puzzle very frustrating, especially when there doesn’t seem to be any logic behind what clue you end up on after completing one.
