  • For a better experience, solve on a larger screen, preferably with a physical keyboard.
    Although it is possible to use a smaller device, e.g., phone or mini tablet,
    seeing clues and entering answers may require more scrolling of the limited puzzle area
    and hiding/showing of the on-screen keyboard.

    .puz is most common; .jpz is a more open standard with more format options.
