Love this
So happy to find acrostics here. My only wishes are to make the little squares of the quote bigger for my old eyes…and to have more easy ones available. Otherwise brilliant.InsomniacFox
Good puzzles; bad main screen remodels
I love this app bc it makes my favorite kind of puzzles so much more accessible. However, I would really like to be able to delete or at least hide puzzles I do not wish to complete. Also, when I opened the app just now, the “library” was gone, and it looks like I have to do puzzles in the random order the app assigns instead of going in the order of the publishers I choose to do. I give three stars because this is now two updates where the interface has gotten less user friendly and more rigid. Please give an option to hide or delete unwanted puzzles, and/or let the user go by just the publishers and numerical order they want. Thank youShow lessPJ Craigg

Thanks SO much for this detailed review. Apologies for the hiccups with these intended-to-be improvements. Note that you can already choose to do the puzzles by publisher (as well as by difficulty). On the main screen, scroll down and tap the publisher. Then all the puzzles by that publisher are listed in volume order, after the started puzzles at the top.That said, I've received other feedback like yours that suggests that adding some way to hide puzzles could be a good addition. In the meantime, can you please give the "play in publisher order" a go and let me know how it goes? You can reach me anytime via email to support@eggheadgames.com.

My Grandma introduced me to acrostic puzzles many years ago; we spent a lot of happy hours chasing down the right word trying to solve the quotations. I love this digital version that I can play anywhere, even while waiting in line at a drive-thru. The puzzles are enlightening as well as challenging, and help keep my old brain in decent functional order. In addition, the support for this app (from Egghead Games) is phenomenal! I’d rate it 10 stars if I could.Show lessJennyJumble
Some games in Spanish
The fact that I can’t play a whole set of the games because I don’t speak Spanish takes it down a star for me. The games I can play are very fun.Bhfstuii
Ok, I admit I’m dumb
I need more of the easy one block puzzles (like the kids packs but for adults. I don’t want to buy a set with mixed levels. One block of difficulty is what I need. Would be cool if there was a hint or check for errors button on the top lever. Highly recommend. Really love this game and all of their others. Hardest levels of their others are fine, but not for this one.Show lessAshleyZM

Thanks for the review Ashley! We've thought about various options for showing progress over the years, but it's such a delicate balance between helping and what some would call cheating, that we've erred towards doing it as we do now. Fwiw, we find that if we do have some indicator of "correct" at a granular level, then the nature of the game changes. E.g. instead of treating the puzzle as a whole, and trying "but if I do that over there, will that help me over here", it causes a singular focus on a particular clue: "Hmm, that clue didn't show correct, but what about trying this other word". And so we ended up with the erase errors feature that is there if you want the reassurance, but doesn't change the game. Note, we're also thinking about changing it from "Erase errors" to something that first gives an indication of how many errors and gives you the option to erase or not. Right now, it's a bit "all or nothing". I wonder what you think of that? I'd love to hear at support@eggheadgames.com (About -> Contact Support in the app), if you have a moment. Thanks!

Great Acrostic app packed with included puzzles in varying degrees of difficulty. I use it all the time. It’s nice to have these puzzles right on the phone—a perfect time killer. If you need to purchase more puzzles they’re pretty reasonably priced. Customer service is quick and pleasant, but you shouldn’t really need it; the app works reliably.Show lesssubtleman22
Love This App
This is one of my favorite apps. Really like the different challenge levels. My favorite game is Acrostics by Cyn. Would like to see more of those. If you like word games and haven’t yet tried an acrostic, you should give this one a try. When I recently had a problem with the game not opening, I couldn’t believe how responsive Michael was. He had the problem fixed in no time. Really appreciate it!Show lessKMRANCH96
Fun game
Challenging game for those who like crossword and cryptogram puzzles! Once you complete the starter pack you have to purchase more puzzle packs to keep playing, but they’re not too expensive for what you get.Llfin
Meh...
Not very many puzzles with each difficulty level. And I don’t speak Spanish, so I wish there was a way to remove those from my puzzle list.Kstsum
Good challenge
Love it, just wish I was smarter!Westie # 6
