This game is misleading. It suggests it's an English crossword. So far it's full of stupid things like American abreviations for states and other American spelt words ( these differ to English spellings ) copious amounts of Roman numerals, different words in French and German, any one number of periodic table abreviations and misleading clues unless you happen to be fluent in American....I thought it was going to be English??

Clues are ok apart from to many roman numerals and foreign words. Would have given it 4 stars, but it now appears to be infected with a virus. When I run the app I get a fake alert pop up.

Very obscure hints. Sometimes incorrect or nonexistent words. Awful turning a noun into a verb. Very nice UI
