SEVEN WORDS Puzzle

CODEWORDS Puzzle

Decipher the code to complete the crossword grid. Each square is marked with a number corresponding with one letter of the alphabet. Look for patterns and use your powers of deduction to crack the code!

WORD GRID Puzzle

Slide the tiles from the edge of the grid into the blank squares to spell out words. Unlike a regular crossword, there are no clues so instead you'll have to use logic to choose between the available letters for each square.

QUOTE FALLS Puzzle

Place the letter tiles from each column into the correct squares on the grid to spell out a famous quotation!

BRITISH CRYPTICS Crossword

The ultimate challenge - cryptic crosswords use their own obscure rules to hide the answer in the clue, using anagrams, double meanings, and a host of other subtle tricks. If you get completely stumped on a clue, you can swap it out for an easier, non-cryptic alternative.

FACT OF THE DAY

Curious facts to puzzle the mind!

Also look out for special timed events!


Complete all the challenges to earn the title of Crossword Superstar!

Having this app for over a year now, I can say that it's subpar. I've done most of the "world's biggest" section, the puzzles reuse the same 30-40 words. I'll play one then open another and the same words will be in the next puzzle. I don't use my coins, the puzzles aren't difficult enough to need them with the same basic af vocabulary. Now that ads have gotten out of hand I'm done. If I have to watch ads for every screen transition I'd prefer puzzles that take longer than 2 minutes to finish.

(This review refers to an older version of the game.) We're sorry to hear you've had a problem. The game's clue database is significantly larger than this. Over 100s of puzzles, words may be repeated albeit with different clues. If you require further assistance, please contact us via the in-game Help option. Apologies for any inconvenience.

The game is good and I enjoy the different modes of word puzzles included. But the interstitial adverts are just *way* too much. I played through the entire World's Largest Picross and never had this many adds play. And they're not just when you complete a level or unlock, you get forced ads play when you return to the main menu to chose a different game mode. Good game. Ruined by too many ads
