Small bug report: when auto-check is on and you overwrite a correct letter with an incorrect letter, it changes from green to red (good). If you then click 'undo', the validation doesn't update to the now-correct letter, so it shows the correct letter as wrong.

I live with an avid crossworder. I had to search to find puzzles to print each week until he bought a book. Is there a way to change font size for clues? Tiny on an iPad.

I was afraid clues/words would be too techy (he is not). Am I reading it right that others could submit alternative clues?

Thank you again! Tomorrow I’ll see if he takes to it ….

And there’s a ton of features, too. Quite impressive. The handwriting thing is very unique.

Tbh, crossword games are not my cup of tea but that’s OK. But I like that this thing exists, there are not many word around yet, so every single new one really counts. πŸ‘
