As I said, my typing skills leave a lot to be desired, so the beauty of this program is the simplicity of the entry of the answers.<br />My first attempt at entering the answers was reminiscent of a Kindergartner’s penmanship, but by the 2nd puzzle I had figured out that I could improve the neatness a lot by using the actual crossword grid as a guide. I have evolved to the point, in a weeks’ time, to where I don’t need to use the grid except for the pesky “X”.<br />It is very easy to change directions of the answers with a simple tap, and erasing is even easier by just long pressing a square and sliding your finger along the letters you want to erase.<br />I feel fortunate to be able to try this program, and look forward to using this system as my system for solving puzzles for a long time because it makes it so much more fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05693665822526396003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407899108791685841.post-41661941549556630662012-11-09T14:38:40.994-05:002012-11-09T14:38:40.994-05:00You may finally have pushed me over the brink I...You may finally have pushed me over the brink I've been teetering on for years - to buy (for me) an iPad. I've been wanting one for photographic reasons - great touch screen editing software....but now I can rationalize it by saying I will become a Crossworder, too! ;-)BB W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18248668180175184909noreply@blogger.com
