## What is AnyWord Xword?

AnyWord Xword (Crossword) is a captivating word game with twenty increasingly complex levels. Each level  has an intriguing blank crossword grid... with NO clues! Any word from the English language can be used! As the crosswords become more complex (with more words and more intersections) the game becomes ever more challenging!

AnyWord Xword is a fun game for the whole family. It's great for developing vocabulary and dictionary use. It encourages children (and adults!) to play with words.

AnyWord Xword has full Game Center integration so that you can compare your scores and times with other players all around the world! AND to make it even more exciting if you use words with low frequency letters - like X and Z - you score even more points! 

AnyWord Xword is the first word game app from the team that won the best mobile app of 2014 (International Edublog Awards). We guarantee that it's both fun and educational. All for a low price!
