Crossgrams is a new kind of word puzzle which mixes anagrams with crosswords (and has a pinch of Sudoku). It's simple, challenging, and extremely addictive. To unscramble each puzzle, just drag letters left and right (never up or down), but watch out: it's not as easy as it seems! Each letter you solve and pin in place is a new clue for the surrounding words. Puzzles range from bite-sized fun to brain-busters you can spend a whole afternoon chipping away at, just like a weekend crossword puzzle. About in-app purchases: Crossgrams is free, and contains no ads. It comes with two free sample puzzle packs, and a daily puzzle which is always free. Purchases come in the form of additional larger puzzle packs (plus one for color themes). After careful consideration, our small indie team simply didn't want to make a game filled with ads and distractions. We hope you'll enjoy Crossgrams enough to purchase some packs so we can afford to add more puzzles, and that you'll help us spread the word about the game!

Drag across the letters. Find the words. Beat the clock. WordRush is a fast word game built on one move: trace a path through connected letters and the word is yours. It takes ten seconds to learn. THE DAILY BOARD One board a day, the same letters for every player in the world. Sixty seconds, one attempt, and a global leaderboard that fills up all day. Come back tomorrow to keep your streak alive. QUICK MATCH — LIVE 1v1 Sixty seconds against a real opponent on identical letters. No luck and no excuses: you both see the same board, and the better word list wins. Every match moves your trophies. CLIMB SEVEN RANKS Wooden Board, Stone Tiles, Bronze Letters, Iron Square, Golden Grid, Crystal Script, Prism Scroll. Every promotion hands you a brand new set of tiles, and the rank you earn is the one you wear into every match. SOLO MODES Classic — a 4x4 or 5x5 board and ninety seconds. Just you and the letters. Marathon — a 5x5 board and two minutes, where every word of six letters or more buys you another fifteen seconds. Keep finding long words and the round keeps going. CHESTS, TILES AND SKINS Ranked wins earn chests. Open them for Tiles, the in-game currency, and for tile skins that are not sold anywhere else. Spend Tiles in the shop on the sets you want to play on. FRIENDS Share a friend code, add anyone, and challenge them to a live match. Friendly matches never touch your trophies, so there is nothing at stake but the argument. YOUR RECORD Your best words, your longest finds, how many rounds you have played and how often you win. It is all on your profile. Free to play. Tiles and tile skins are optional.
