✓ "Definitely worth checking out" - Editor's pick, AppChronicles

The game is a hybrid of a regular crossword game and a cryptogram. Instead of giving you clues on what each word is about, you'll have to use the surrounding letters as your sole clues.

★ The lite version contains 10 11x11 crosswords and 10 5x5 crosswords for you to try. The paid version contains over 2,000 crossword puzzles for you to enjoy.

GAMEPLAY:

Each blank tile in the crossword grid is labeled a number. The numbers go from 1 to 26, which means that each number corresponds to one letter. You are given a few letters as clues during the start of a game. Try and guess the missing letters in the crossword grid by using the surrounding letters as clues. Don't worry, only common words are used. 

INTUITIVE CONTROLS:

Just tap on the blank crossword tile, then tap on the letter in your cypher to guess.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2017-01-25, version 1.1*

Honestly I thought it was average at best. The words are stupid and obscure, they give you like 5-9 letters to start with, you can only play 11 games before you have to buy it, it doesn't allow you to look at puzzles you've just completed, and it's really really easy. Only thing it challenged was my ability to not get angry at stupid words.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2014-10-03, version 1.1*

I try to play this every night but it freezes on me most of the time.  Otherwise I would give it a 5.

### 5/5 — Relaxing fun

*2014-06-01, version 1.1*

Not too hard and not too easy.just right

### 5/5 — I am loving this game!

*2014-05-11, version 1.1*

Finally something that I can have fun with that is not like all the others!  Would recommend to all!

### 3/5 — Love it except for two things!

*2014-01-07, version 1.1*

The typeface is hard to read on the iPhone, and it is sometimes unresponsive when you press the letters. Maybe they are too small

### 4/5 — Cool

*2013-09-25, version 1.1*

Cool game

### 4/5 — Ms

*2013-09-24, version 1.1*

### 5/5 — Liz Chapman

*2013-09-15, version 1.1*

### 5/5 — Lady

*2013-08-30, version 1.1*

Perky and fun

### 3/5 — Boring

*2013-08-11, version 1.1*

Gets boring really fast
