Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

Daily Themed Crossword is the perfect morning companion for puzzle lovers. Unlike traditional crosswords that can feel dry or overly academic, this app focuses on pop culture, history, and modern trends. Each day offers a new theme—like 'Movie Mondays' or 'Sports Sundays'—which keeps the vocabulary fresh and accessible.

The interface is incredibly smooth. Tapping a cell highlights the clue, and the keyboard is responsive. If you get stuck, the hint system is generous without feeling like a 'cheat.' It’s the kind of game that fits perfectly into a commute; it’s mentally stimulating but doesn't require a master's degree to complete the early week puzzles. The progression system and collection of badges add a satisfying sense of achievement to your daily habit.

Love this app….but
Sun Oct 15 2023 woodmeyer

I love playing this game but the ads, especially the one featuring the King character, (as you can see, I always look away because it is so long and annoying) is impossible to close on my iPad unless I actually shut my iPad down. Please correct this. I don’t even look at any other ads due to this very annoying glitch. You should be able to let an ad play, then click it off and continue playing without shutting down your computer. If the intent of the game developer is to entice you to download their game, I’ll never download a game that causes me to shut down my computer in order to be able to return to my original game. If you’re allowing a developer to place ads like this on your game, I will then be forced to stop playing your game, even though I really enjoy it. That’s the only reason I gave this game 1 star, otherwise I would be rating it 5 stars.

Absolutely love but few problems…
Wed Nov 23 2022 Lori0o

I absolutely love crosswords and this is what I turn to, to play some fun and relaxing crosswords. But the ads keep getting in my way, I know I should just buy the supreme package or whatever but that’s wicked expensive for a crossword app! If the ads were not ever second i would not mind one bit since ya know the people who make this game also need a little cash. But that isn’t my biggest problem my biggest problem is with coins and the game itself. I have a few friends who play this as well (I invited them) and there screens look completely different then mine. They have a classic crossword that I don’t keep and daily rewards? I didn’t even know that was a thing until I saw their screens. Then with the coins. I don’t exactly have problem with coins it is just I am terrible and I mean terrible at crosswords but I still love to play them. I am a person who needs multiple hints every single time I play because if the frenzy didn’t exist I’d be screwed. But the problem I have is the hints are quite expensive for what 5 letters for a tiny one and 10 for a big one which costs ten coins! I only get 1 coin per crossword I complete. Nonetheless I still really enjoy this game and think people who like crosswords should play the game anyway.

Cool
Mon Jan 23 2023 Anjel-Phace

The app is addictive and I often fall asleep playing it. My only pet peeve is that the “Royal Match” ads play soooo much that I’ve grown a hatred for it. I wish I could block it. When I try to exit away from the ad, App Store keeps popping up 6-10 times to download Royal Match before I can continue playing the crosswords, and I KNOW I’m hitting the “x” button. It’s so repetitive that I’ve considered uninstalling this app. I’ve even had to shut down this app completely and reopen it just to get that ad off my screen. Now, I play crosswords with my volume down so I won’t have to keep hearing, “Help meee” from that king, or whatever he is. It’s almost like a virus smh. I’m certain that at some point I may uninstall this and install another crossword game to run from those repetitive Royal Match ads. It’s as if I’m almost being harassed to download it—as comical and unrealistic as that sounds. I see it during regular ad air-times, when opting to watch a video for extra letters, AND when opting to watch a video for coins. Can’t get away from it. Pleeeeease turn it offffffff. It’s unbearably annoying and overplayed. Even the real-life human promoting it in different ads. Can’t even fully enjoy this app. It’s a relief just to see a different ad the very rare times that I do.

Fun…but the latest bugs are huge!
Wed Sep 06 2023 Patti_R_1959

I’ve been playing DTC for a year or so, with very few complaints or problems. BUT—there’s always a but, right?—the last couple months have been horrendous. Certain ads will lock it into a black screen and the only way I’ve figured out how to clear it is to delete the app and reload. Pain in the rear when you’re in the middle of a tournament or within grasp of an achievement that you’ve been working towards. I’ve deleted and reloaded 4 or 5 times lately and I am seriously tired of having to rework puzzles that I completed a month or so ago. Only plus so far is that I’m fast as h*ll and have won the tournaments, etc. for the last 90 days or so (helps tremendously when you’ve just completed the puzzle recently). You guys want some serious cash for a game of this caliber. I’ve thought about it, but with my current bug issue, I can’t see dropping that much on an app that has as many bugs, syntax errors and language-translation issues that I’ve seen in the year or so that I’ve used it. Guess I’m just going to have to keep slogging through the other crossword apps until I find one that suits me and doesn’t have such an issue with my iPhone.

The ads don’t work?
Fri Jan 26 2024 Tammie70 (not anymore) :(

Been playing on this app for 4-ish yrs. Now the past month or so I am forced to watch an ad, or I watch an ad to play a “free” game (as long as you watch ad).. problem is lately many times I watch the dang ad then after it’s completed the ad is frozen, and I have to swipe completely out of the game then bring it back up to unfreeze, then I try to play the “free” game and it states no ads available do you want to purchase. So I decline then go back again, it gives me another (sometimes over minute long) ad and then same thing happens. Many times these frozen ads happen 4-6 times in one group of daily games offered. (They happen different times, sometimes to play free game, sometimes after I complete a game etc etc). It is becoming increasingly irritating to say the least. I have updated and I check for bug fixes updates often and especially when these glitches happen. I really enjoy playing, but I’m tempted to see if there’s a better crossword app available. If I notice an improvement and the ads stop freezing/glitching so many times I’ll update my rating/review. An occasional glitch can happen but I’ve played 2 crosswords today and it’s happened 4 times already. Really frustrating.

Maybe a Little TOO Easy?
Sun Dec 27 2020 Bradgamester

I’ve been playing with this app a LOT during the pandemic and am grateful for the distraction it has provided me. It works well on my iPad, and dealing with the ads has taught me patience, especially since the game is free. I like the combination of thematic and mini-puzzles, and I especially enjoy the competitions between players and the chance to earn points through these inter-player matches. It’s just one more weird way of bringing people “together” during these difficult times. My only issue is with the puzzles themselves. They are seldom challenging; rather, the constant re-use of the same words (I will NEVER eat an Oreo cookie again!) and the blatant ease of some clues - “_____ the door (rhymes with ‘hut’)” - can make the game rather dull, especially when competing and doing many puzzles at once. I realize this is a family game and that I wasn’t promised the Sunday Times crossword! Still, we are blessed with millions of words and names, and I feel like only the tiniest percentage of them are being used and constantly rearranged to give the puzzle-makers a break. Sorry about the quibble (hey, THAT’S a word you could use!!!)

Waste of time. Game is too slow.
Thu Feb 02 2023 1hotjob

This game takes foreeeeever to load. When it does, I repeatedly click the X to close out “connect to Facebook”. I don’t want to connect to Facebook, stop popping up. When the game finally gets to the home page, it takes too long for me to be able to select the daily game. The puzzle opens up and you think you are ready to play, but no. You need to wait some more while the next screen loads to ask you if you want to show errors. Finally you are playing the crossword puzzle. You type in your answer and the letters don’t show up. You wait and the answer finally appears. You go to the next word and type in a letter. It doesn’t show up so you press it again. Now that letter shows up in the next word too. I have a newer iPad with all the updates. No game should run this slooooooow. I detest ads that take you to the App Store. Show me an ad and let me click X. I would gladly pay for this game if it would load quickly and not have any delays when playing. Waiting 5-10 seconds for a letter to appear is ridiculous. I refuse to spend my money and get the disappointment of having the same slow game.

ONLY 5 STAR GAME OUT THERE!
Fri Dec 08 2023 Oma2nine

Hmm, thought I wrote a review for THIS app, Lost my phone so they started me from taking “lessons” and a new account. A lot of new things since I started playing a long time ago. ANYWAY, my Mike did the crossword puzzle in his paper every single day! Though he didn’t always get every single one, he said he did them so his brain wouldn’t die before he did! THIS IS THE BEST CROSSWORD GAME of this type. No match 3 or other things that don’t apply and I like it. The puzzles are mostly great. Occasionally, I find myself (cursing to myself) because I don’t know an answer. Generally speaking, the puzzles will challenge some and others will think it’s too easy. Then the other word games that are like bonus play. Word search is great. The flipping letter game I don’t care for. The third option is 6 letters and you make as many words as possible in 50 seconds. That’s my FAVORITE WORD GAME EVER! I know it’s a small thing but when I got my new phone- that’s the reason I frantically searched for THIS ONE!! I installed several, 3 or 4 at least the first time I switched phones. I had never paid attention to the name of the company/game, etc! I found it pretty quickly and tried them all. Hands down, this is the best one!( It’s downloaded, as of yesterday, on everything I touch. (‘Cept PC) I think everything about this app is just right!
