About this game

Kryss is the new, highly addictive game that lets two players test each other's imagination and vocabulary.

The turn-based game is developed from the idea of transforming the traditional crossword solution - old school Scandinavian style - into a game where you compete against each other in the same crossword puzzle.

You receive five letters each turn, then strive to place the letters in the crossword within a minute. There are several ways of outscoring your opponent, including a significant bonuses for completing words, for getting key letters right or for using all your five letters within a round.

Then again: it might just pay off to keep one of the crucial letters for later use – when the stakes are higher.

Kryss has the element of randomly awarded letters in common with other classic word games.

But Kryss is faster, and it offers a logic and gaming experience which makes it feel like no other passtime you ever engaged in. It is pure yoga for the brain, meditation for the mind, and vocabulary training in a game.

And with the chat function you can keep in touch with your favorite aunt at the same time as teasing your best friend for being the slowest player in the known Universe.

By sending challenges to your friends via social media, email or text messages you will get both more people to compete with and in-game bonuses that lets you enjoy Kryss even more!

Fun! 3 free games a day. sometimes the pictures are a little confusing but still fun... updated: I get 5 free games a day with ad watching. It's still fun but the computer cheats. After years playing this I can get the same word, and get way less points. Still, nice game to play before bed, and you don't need money to play, which is rare with games!

I've been playing Kryss for about 5 years. It is totally addictive. There aren't any ads. You are working against the clock though and that isn't easy. You get 5 letter tiles and find the place they go in this crossword/trivia game. You do play against other players and you have to wait for them to come in and take their turn. That's kind of a downfall. And you can buy boosters to help. Only if you want them, they are never shoved down your throat. Only game I've kept on every phone.

I wrote this review over 2 years ago. I still love the game, and especially the new challenges, but it STILL freezes up and has to be restarted all the time. does this. It's not me! Love the game and worked my way up to 735 stored games. But suddenly the game is freezing nearly every round. I have to reboot the game after nearly every turn. I've hardly played in a couple of months waiting for them to fix the bugs. I would try to uninstall and reinstall, except I'd probably lose all my games.
