About this game

Welcome to Conspire, the crossword scanning and crossword sharing app. Collect your crossword puzzles together in one place so that you can always have them with you, and so that you can collaborate on them with your friends, even when you're not able to be in the same place at the same time.

You can import crosswords into Conspire either from a printed newspaper or from the internet. Once imported you can invite your friends to work on your crossword with you. Answers that you type appear on their device. What they type appears on yours.

Be online at the same time and talk about the puzzle as you solve it by using Conspire alongside your favourite voice-over-IP app. If you can't be online together then the Conspire server will carefully merge the answers that you and your friends have entered.

To see how easy it is import and share crosswords, please follow the Visit Developer's Website link, and check out the movie tutorials. Feel free to email the developer if you have any questions!

However these are all minor things really, and I'm super grateful for the author for making this available for free, without ads.

I love the app as it allows creating grids from images. There is, however, some improvements I would suggest. On my phone I use dark mode and this doesn't work well with the grid. Thus, I have to change the display to light mode. It would be great if the theme used by the app would be decoupled from the system mode. I suppose that to have a perfect app OCR could be used to recognize and display the clues in text rather than images. If this were possible then you could ...
