Today when I opened up my Crosswords app on my iPad every puzzle is tiny and the clues are huge?! What happened? Can someone help me fix this? Not sure if it's some kind of an update or I did something inadvertently? I admit, being an old 52 yr old lady I'm not very computer savvy so I'm really hoping someone can help me out here. The puzzles are certainly doable this way but I'm not enjoying it. Thanks in advance.

    Home screen? Home button? Oh geez...I've no idea what thos even are on my iPad! I did reboot the whole thing but not the app by itself. Yikes! Truly, old people need easy instructions, like children!

    George,
    The home button is the button 'below' the iPad screen with a small white square on it (it takes you to the Launcher, where you can open apps). Are you up and running again?

    Sorry I'm really dumb. Home screen? Home button? I don't know what those are. Should I just delete the app the usual way? By pressing on it till it jiggles then deleting it?

    I'm so sorry! And thanks for trying to help me

    Do NOT delete the app; you'll lose all your puzzle progress if you do that (but you can always re-download the app for free from the App Store. To adjust the font size of the clues (you'll want to shrink it), use two fingers to tap on the clue list. This will pop up a window in which you can adjust the font size.

    Deleted the app and reinstalled it and it's back to normal thank god! I kept pressing my home button twice like it stated in the instructions but it never brought up the most recently used app thin gee. Try as I might I never was able to the crossword app to show the red line so I could close it out. Oh well. Thanks anyway! I do appreciate it.
