Love It!

I love doing crossword puzzles, and I love the look and feel of this app! Makes crossword puzzles more enjoyable than they already are! Yes!

Kills Time

I pull this out whenever I'm bored and it usually kills time nicely. I'm still a beginner at cross word puzzles so the word bank by the side is very useful. I also really like the idea of a theme. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to play around with words, especially beginners because the additional word bank function tends to be very helpful.

Helps with math in a wierd way

Ok so when trying this, i knew that my brother didn't really enjoy crossword puzzles and were WAY too hard for him. However, when i played the app with him, it turned to be VERY easy to play with. All you have to do is click on the line and click the word. Its a 2 step process that my brother can easily do. I thought that you had to spell it out. Also, oddly it helps with math because every time we try to find the word, i count the number of spaces in the line with him and then make him find the word that has that number of letters. Its very simple!
