4.0.5
2019-12-14
Improved the badge display, fixed a rare crash when switching between puzzles.
If you like Logic Puzzles, you might like one of our other apps, Cryptograms. Although it's a word game, it can be solved logically rather than with typical crossword skills. I've recently spent quite a bit of effort updating it, and have rediscovered how much fun these puzzles can be. I hope you'll appreciate the little touches when you decrypt each quote, such as a Wikipedia link for most authors. Go to Help – Try Other Apps and choose "Cryptogram Cryptoquip Puzzles" to give it a try.
As always, you can reach me directly at Help – Contact Support. I love to hear from you. Thanks, Michael @ Egghead Games
