Great game!

I love this game! I feel like the puzzles are challenging, and fun to complete. I’m so glad there are more to purchase and download!

I can’t begin to express just how excited I was when I randomly checked on this app and saw that it had been updated! This is by far one of my most favorite games on my phone!

Something is broken…

What the heck happened to this app? The colors are all wrong, making it impossible to see the letters you’ve already entered in the quote. I hope you guys fix this soon…

Like this a lot, but….

I’ve enjoyed this, and bought many of the add on packs, but for the past few months, whenever I finish one I try to go back to the library and everything is gone. So there’s no record of any of the puzzles. I’ve played previously like they’re used to be. And there’s no puzzles at all I have to delete the game and re-download it every single time. Don’t know what but something’s gone wrong and I’m extremely disappointed.

Finally broken with latest iOS

Seems doubtful this will get fixed since the website is no longer up. But the app has quit working with the newest iOS

Broken app?

A week or so ago this app, which I have used and enjoyed for years, began to malfunction on my phone (iOS). Developers web site does not work either. Does anyone know if they are still around?

Great game!

I love this game! I feel like the puzzles are challenging, and fun to complete. I’m so glad there are more to purchase and download!

Note: after updating to iOS 18, I had to delete and reinstall which means I have to start over on the puzzles, but that’s fine with me. I’m impressed that an app that has gone 7 years without an update is holding strong!

My favorite Anacrostics in electronic form

I’ve always loved Anacrostics. I’ve been doing them with pencil and paper for years. This app works just like the printed ones, but once completely filled in, you get immediate feedback as to whether all entries are correct. They’re fun and challenging, especially at the higher difficulty levels.

STILL THE BEST WORD APP!!!

Great app but no updates for several years!

I love this app, but there have been no new puzzles for several years. It's easy to use and most of the puzzles are information and fun to solve.

I like the more complicated puzzles, not the gag lines. However, the Sherlock Holmes puzzles are extremely difficult. I exhausted the Mumford puzzles quite a while ago, which makes the current version of the app worthless.

PLEASE add more puzzles soon!

Great app

One of the few I’ll actually pay for which says a lot. I’ve always loved this kind of puzzle.
I’d love it it started with some “free” letters on the puzzle to get you started but all in all I really enjoy playing.

Pleasant time filler!

There aren't many of this type of puzzle game to choose from. This one is good. Some of the US references are a bit obscure, but can be googled. There is a good mix of easy and challenging puzzles.

Love it!

So much fun.

Not bad

Overall, way too easy. As mentioned elsewhere, in-app purchases do not all work. Almost a year and this has not been fixed???

Update: Still cannot make in-ap purchases as of Dec 2017. No way to contact the developer. Downgrading to one star, as is totally useless.

The Best

Excellent puzzles from easy to fiendish! I can't get enough!

Great Game!

I love word puzzles and this is one that works very well - great interface; nice gradations on clues; super variety of topics and quotes.

Absolutely wonderful.

I have spent many hours enjoying these puzzles and learning many things I did not know before. I hope that will continue to be additions to the Crostix library as I have completed most of them that are currently available.

I love acrostic puzzles and have been doing them for years. These puzzles have good clues and quotations and are way easier to complete then with a pencil and eraser. Keep them coming.

Designer

LOVE the game! Hope there's more coming!

Love these!

These are great acrostic puzzles! There are a number of different themes and levels of difficulty. Wish they'd release some more puzzles soon!

Crostix is great

Hard to find these wonderful puzzles. I'm happy to find this app and I hope they keep them coming.
