PUZZLE LINKS: Online Solver | iPuz Download
Putting out a crossword today to announce that our solver has better mobile support! Huge, huge thanks go out to Dob from CrossweirdTV (go give them a follow!) for doing nearly all the work to make this happen. Anyway, if you’re on a phone or tablet, feel free to give this one a solve there! Or whatever, it’s your puzzle, do what you gotta do.
I’m so close to my fundraising goal! If you chip in you’ll get some fun puzzles! Thanks in advance.
Happy Halloween and enjoy the solve!
I use the crossword solver on a laptop – I’m not a fan of some of the changes made to it.
1. The cells are taller than they are wide, resulting in a rectangular grid rather than a square one.
2. In full screen mode, the grid doesn’t fill all the available space, resulting in a smaller grid with smaller letters – this isn’t great for those (like me) with vision problems. I have to have my face about a foot away from the screen to solve puzzles. I’d prefer larger letters.
3. The text is now against a beige background, making it harder to read than before because of less contrast – again, a big issue for those like me with vision issues.
4. The software seems a little sluggish compared to the previous version, when I rapidly hit the arrow keys in succession, there’s a lag. Similarly, it feels like when I quickly type an answer in, there’s a lag, sometimes resulting in a dropped letter. I’ve been seeing a lot of that lately with this crossword solver, and I’m not having a dropped letter issue with any other software.
Also, for the obfuscation page, can you put back the descriptions for each kind of obfuscation?
Thanks for solving and thanks for your feedback! We’re always looking to make improvements.
