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 .

Thanks for the feedback and fair point on clarity. We are moving the paywall further into the game so players have more time to try it first. Criss Cross Castle is a premium game with a one-time unlock, no ads or interruptions. If you revisit, we’d love your thoughts.
