About this game

Lovatts Puzzles Handy Acrostic puzzles are the latest word puzzle craze! This app includes 10 puzzles from Lovatts, as well as 40 puzzles from well known USA publishers at all skill levels. There are also 4 more Lovatts volumes for sale (with 50 puzzles in each volume), as well as hundreds more American English puzzles.

Your goal is to reveal a hidden quote in a grid by correctly answering crossword-style clues. This combination of crossword and cryptogram will stretch your brain with an entertaining workout. Each letter in the quote is linked to a letter in one of the clue answers. As you fill in more and more answers, more letters will begin to fill the quote grid, until eventually the entire quote is revealed. You can also do this in reverse. As words of the quote become clear, they will fill in the clue answers!

Designed for fast and easy play, Acrostics lets you concentrate on solving the clues without all the erasing of pencil and paper solving. The result is pure puzzle solving fun with no ads or distractions!

Advanced play features include automatic grid updating and indexing, see related cells, multi-level undo, remove errors, and hints. A wide range of difficulty levels will challenge beginners and seasoned players alike.

Acrostics includes more than 50 additional puzzle packs available for purchase, each for about the price of a mocha java caramel swirl Frappuccino. Pick your favorite publisher or try something different. These will provide HOURS and HOURS of fun!

If you like word games, crosswords or cryptograms, acrostics are a fun way to exercise your brain!

Ratings and reviews

Edit: Bug was fixed very quickly and my purchases were still there. This really is my favorite game and the publishers handle the problems well. I used to love this app, but I had to uninstall it because it stopped working. I'm really annoyed that I bought a pack of puzzles and won't get to play them because the app keeps crashing.

If you complete the puzzle but there is an error - usually due a typo - you get a message that the puzzle is not solved correctly. That is fine. However, that message counts as a "hint" and cost you an trophy icon. Very very frustrating when I complete the puzzle without hints and I get penalized anyway. The message that is isn't correct doesn't point out where the error is, so not a hint. *Update* I figured out what happens is that the cells to enter in letters is so close to the lightbulb it is very easy to accidently hit the lightbulb hint. Frustrating but not a huge problem since you don't unlock anything or gain any benefit by not taking hints.

Nicely done. Nice mixture of hard and easy puzzles, interface is aptly functional without being intrusive or annoying.
