Customer Reviews
The Million Word Crossword Dictionary
I own the book and it is an outstanding source for answers to crossword puzzle clues.
I dowloaded the "Sample" to try the iBook version and entered the word "giant". Four (2) minutes later it found and displayed a few words and their location in the book, but did not show anywhere close to the number and details available in the book. None of the anwers shown would have been helpful.
If the book is like the"Sample" , the app will not display the entries as categorized and shown in the book and I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING it. The actual book is well worth the investment, however.
There was also no website provided to allow clarification or support.
PLS
Useless. No way to navigate. No appendix. If it were free it wouldn't be worth it.
