Finally I can start to solve cryptic puzzles. I have wanted to be able to do it for ages. My mum has tried to teach me without sucess but with the app I am finally getting to grips with the technique. A good mix of information and examples that build to puzzles. With the ability to re-do exercises or indeed any of it until you have mastered it.
