Crostics for Pc

I really enjoy these puzzles. There are several ways to figure out the answer to each puzzle’s quote: 1- answer the clues to fill in letters in the puzzle quote, 2- figure some of the words in the puzzle quote by guessing or figuring what word makes sense in that part of the quote, 3- after doing number 2, looking at the letters your guessed-word in the puzzle quote filled in in one or more of the clues, and 4- if you just can’t figure out a clue, you can get it to reveal one or more of the letters in a particular clue word, thus helping you to figure out the clue’s word or the puzzle’s quote. I’d give it 5 stars if all the puzzle games had a good number of clues. The games with only 4 clues make it too hard to figure out the puzzle if you don’t know the answer to one or more of the clues and it takes the fun out of it. I end up having to reveal too many letters in a clue, which isn’t fun.

This is a good game for killing time. You can jump in and out even in the middle of a puzzle. The user experience is good. I like how easy it is to jump back and forth between puzzles. I don’t lose track of where I am like I do in other word games of this type. It just feels good to play. One temporary announce was having to press delete a bunch of times to clear a word but I see now that you can long press for that. The puzzles themselves are decent though there are some differences if you’re used to the Dell/Penny Press puzzles. They have two letter clues and they’re often easier than they could be (e.g. the state abbreviations). Having two letters from the same clue in the same word in the quote is not allowed in the magazines. The first letters of the clues don’t spell the author and source. And it took a bit for me to realize clues like “helps land airplanes” refer to a person and not an action. I suspect much of this is dictated by the smaller phone screens which would be much harder to manage for the length of puzzle you normally see. Either way, it’s a fun casual game and I’ll be purchasing the puzzle packs shortly.

This is a great app and I really enjoy playing. Most other puzzle apps charge .99 cents for sets of 50 puzzles. $1.99 for only 24 puzzles is too expensive in my opinion. If the price drops, I would buy.

Love this! I played everyday until..no more puzzles. I really miss it and can’t wait for more to be available. Such a different word game. I love that you can play two ways. Please make more!!!
