Hi! I understand you're noticing that your score in Daily Themed Crossword is being deducted by 20 points even when you choose not to view wrong answers. Let’s get this sorted out together.

First, just to clarify: When you say "choose not to see wrong answers," do you mean you're deliberately avoiding the option to reveal any incorrect letters or puzzle entries? Or are you saying the app is deducting points even without you taking any action to reveal answers?

Sometimes, score penalties in the Daily Themed Crossword can come not only from viewing wrong answers but also from submitting incorrect letters or guesses during play, which the game counts as mistakes. The penalty might be applied automatically if the app detects these wrong attempts.

To troubleshoot, here’s what I suggest:

1. Check your gameplay input: Make sure you are not accidentally entering wrong answers before finishing the puzzle. Each wrong guess might reduce your score regardless of using the "reveal" hints option.

2. Avoid using any hints or reveals: Even if you do not view wrong answers specifically, are you using any other clues or hints? These could also affect your final score.

3. Clear app cache and restart: Sometimes glitches can cause scoring to behave oddly. Force close the app, then reopen it fresh. On iOS 18.7, swipe up from the bottom and pause, find the Daily Themed Crossword app, and swipe it away to close.

4. Update the app: Ensure the app is updated to its latest version from the App Store to patch possible known scoring bugs.

5. Reinstall if necessary: If the behavior continues, backing up your progress and reinstalling the app can reset any corrupted data.

If you’ve already tried these and the problem persists, it could be a scoring bug or a known issue with the app. In that case, contacting Daily Themed Crossword’s support team with details about your device, OS, and version can help them address it in their next update.

Does any of this match what you’ve experienced? Let me know what you have tried so far, and we can dig deeper into fixing it!

If I play other puzzles other than the 3 main ones does it cost to play them as it says free

Thanks for asking about the cost of playing additional puzzles beyond the 3 main ones in Daily Themed Crossword Puzzles!

To clarify, the app offers a daily free crossword puzzle along with several themed puzzles that refresh regularly. According to the app listing and descriptions, the core gameplay and a variety of puzzles are available for free, but there are in-app purchases as well. These purchases usually provide benefits like hint packs, coins, or removal of ads rather than charging specifically per puzzle1 2.

So if you see puzzles labeled as free to play in the app, you should be able to play them without a direct charge. However, if you want to use premium features or hints during those puzzles, that might involve spending in-app currency or making purchases.

If you want, I can help you navigate within the app to identify which puzzles are free to access versus those locked behind premium content. Have you noticed any locked puzzles or messages about purchase requirements when trying to play certain ones? That info could help me give you precise steps.
