Ratings and reviews

Different in a good way . love how you all came up with a fun different way to play word games . I love this format. the only thing I don't care about it is you can't mistakenly reset your game progress so easily and your back to start .plus there are no giving options to start we're you are at and begin there. I have to restart every time. give stars if you can fix those lil things .

This game gives traditional scrabble such a nice twist. The addition of power ups, a story with cute characters really makes it stand out. I love the overall art, it's adorable and I found all the instructions really clear and easy to follow. Great job, I've really been enjoying my time playing it so far

I can't believe I haven't reviewed yet! Criss Cross takes word games to a fun, new narrative level. Truly cozy.
