    For some reason the clue 5 down is cut off for me. I can’t scroll further to see it and it’s cut off by the timer at the bottom.

      Same for me, and for some reason my phone won’t let me do desktop mode. I’ll have to try my laptop I guess!

      This happens on mobile for larger puzzles at the moment, definitely a bug that’s on the docket to fix! Looks like you did find the ultimate the solution though, which is switching to desktop!

            Ok, still no clue who that would be. Also got no idea for the cipher. Guess I’m done. Last word is probably Harry Potter related, but can’t get my head around the first.

      If you’re on your phone you have to tap and hold outside of the puzzle to scroll, so, like in the area of the clues either above or below. It makes the larger puzzles a little more difficult to navigate, but it’s possible.

        I am on my phone and can scroll up and down, it’s just the ‘Clues Up & Down’ box itself is cut off after 4.

        EDIT: Solved by switching to desktop mode.
