Crostix is great
Hard to find these wonderful puzzles. I'm happy to find this app and I hope they keep them coming.Scott c 3056
My favorite kind of puzzles
I love acrostics and have a hard time finding paper books, so I play here. I enjoy the puzzles a lot and am on Book 10 - almost out of books to play. What then? The only thing I wish were different is that the initial letters of the clue answers don't spell out the name of author and source. So these are acrostics, not double-acrostics. But I love not having to erase all the wrong letters.Show lessAdeliegentoo
Racism!
I've had this app for some time, and I had loved it. However, I just got two puzzles in a row that were offensive--one used the word "Chinaman" and the second had a quotation on the topic of whether "Gypsies" could ever be honest. Extraordinarily offensive; I'm deleting this app immediately and encourage others to do likewise. I can, and will, get my word puzzle fun elsewhere.Show lessEpj1978
Good puzzles, works like it should
I love crostic puzzles, and this app has an intuitive interface. It's easy to enter letters into either the clues or the quote. The app sometimes crashes, and I wish there were a few more hard puzzles. But it's lots of fun and the quotes are interesting.wendywhinny
Great puzzle app
I have always liked acrostics, and the automatic cross-filling in the Crostix app takes away the only negative of this sort of puzzle. The choice of quotations for the app is a real plus. I have enjoyed some of the quotes so much that I have been inspired to read the books they are taken from.Thong1999
At last! A new addiction!
I used to love double-crosstics in the NYT and magazines, and I've been very happy to find and enjoy this app over the past year. Being online and able to easily delete a whole clue answer permits a much more fun approach to the puzzle than doing them in ink on paper.
I too was frustrated that I seemed to be stuck in limbo for several weeks, unable to complete the purchase of Books Ten and Eleven, but just now I tried buying the Headlines for the first time. There was a new AppStore purchase agreement I had to OK, and then suddenly the floodgates opened for my other failed purchases in this App.Show lessPSMCN
Yay, Crostics!
I love crostics, and I deeply appreciate the way filling in a square in either the clues or the quote automatically fills in the corresponding square in the other. I've bought most of the books available, and an enjoying them all at their differing difficulty levels.
There are a couple of improvements I'd love to see: First, I'd love to have the ability to choose to skip over already filled squares in both clues and quotes. Second, I'd really love to have a space (perhaps one that could be toggled in and out of view?) that shows the first letters of the clue answers. On paper, I can sometimes get useful hints to clue answers by recognizing names or titles thus spelled out, but on my iPhone I absolutely can never see more than three of those letters at a time, which really doesn't work!Show lessREReader
The best Acrostic
I've enjoyed these quote-acrostic puzzle for a long while, and I recommend them to anyone else who like this sort of puzzlenorrisem
You just stole my money!!!!!
I paid for the Crostix Big Book a couple of years ago. Today I was sent an app update to "fix" bugs. Well she fixed me! Though I already bought it, my completed puzzles show blank. Then the HELP button told me to press "buy it" and it would not charge me since I previously purchased it. But it did charge me. I want my $1.99 back AND my completed puzzles. What a mess. Don't buy this. It was crashing a lot!!!!!Show lessMcGregor1920
Great Fun
I love this app! I rarely get the paid versions of games, but this was well worth it. I used to buy Acrostic books at Barnes and Noble. This provides the same enjoyment but in an easy to use format. No pencil and eraser needed. Nice quotes, clever clues, puns. Its all fun.Rynkat
