## What is iCruciPuzzle Lite?

The aim of the crucipuzzle game (or twisted words) is to find and delete some predetermined words among a set of letters, usually shown separately. Once you find all the words in the puzzle, you should create a keyword/key-sentence with the remaining letters in reading order (from left to right, from top down). Typically, you know only the length of each keyword, for example for the key-sentence "twisted words", the length (6, 11) will be known.

iCruciPuzzle brings to iPhone, iPod and iPad the classic twisted words game sticking as much as possible to the real game. The game interface is simple and intuitive.
iCruciPuzzle is the first of its kind to give a chance to find a keyword/key-sentece, just like the paper game!

### 3/5 — iCruciPuzzle Lite

*2012-02-20*

It's an alright game but it is still a bit buggy. One thing I hate is if you go wrong when selecting the letters at the end it doesn't just reset them. Also it seems to keep thinking I've left saying it has saved my game and would you like to continue. Other than that it is quote fun and relaxing.
