Customer Reviews

I guess it's cheating but not like looking up the answers!
This has only been road tested with the Telegraph crosswords but its performance is impressive. Hundreds of additional solutions achieved this year.
One is left wondering "how on earth did they do it? - assemble such a comprehensive collection?"
Sits well alongside The Chambers Dictionary.
