Vil du gerne have hjælp til de sidste svære ord i kryds og tværsen, eller vil du tjekke, at du har stavet rigtigt, så er DanKryds den perfekte hjælper. Du vælger længden på det ord, du søger, og skriver de bogstaver, som du har, og så søger DanKryds lynhurtigt i de mere end 140.000 krydsord eller 40.000 synonymer. Ordene er indsamlet gennem en årrække af de mere end 7.000 registrerede brugere af Kryds og Tværs Ordbogen på nettet, og de er løbende blevet tjekket og godkendt af redaktionen. Alle krydsordene er kategoriserede. Det vil sige, at du f.eks. kan vælge kun at søge i øer. Du kan også vælge at søge i flere kategorier – f.eks. Øer og Halvøer, og selvfølgelig kan du også søge i alle kategorier. Synonymer er opdelt efter betydning. Hvis du f.eks. søger på STOR, bliver resultaterne opdelt efter betydningerne stor (størrelse), stor (format) osv. Ordbøgerne ligger på telefonen, så du er ikke afhængig af nogen form for forbindelse til omverdenen. Det betyder at du uden omkostninger f.eks. kan bruge DanKryds på stranden i Ibiza, ved poolen på hotellet i Grand Canaria, på din egen altan eller i S-toget. English: DanKryds is a very simple and easy to use Danish crossword helper. Select the type of search (X for crossword, = for synonym). Select the length off the word (the 7-button) that you are looking for. Enter the letters/characters that you know (if any) or enter a synonym. Press the search button (the magnifying glass) and DanKryds will quickly search the more than 140.000 crosswords or 40.000 synonyms to find words that match your mask. All crosswords are categorized. This means that you can limit your search so DanKryds only searches selected categories. Everything is stored directly on your phone, so no need for any type of connection. In other words - you are free to use the application anywhere ñ on an Ibiza beach, by the poll in Grand Canarias or on the Moon where no satisfactory mobile coverage is expected in a foreseeable future.

This app will help you solve English crosswords and other similar word games. The application uses the letters you already know to find a list of possible answers. It has many advantages compared to similar applications: 1) Contains many thousands of Proper Nouns, including full names, professions, nationality, date of birth and death for about 60,000 famous people, plus around 26,000 places, i.e. countries, cities, rivers, mountains etc. It also knows the names and other data of 90,000 popular movies, books, comics, bands, songs, albums, works of art, deities and fictional characters. These proper nouns are essential for solving general knowledge clues, which can make up to 20-25% of crossword clues. These clues are the type that you either know them or you don't, i.e. difficult to just guess, so if you do not know a particular person you are usually stuck 2) Provides filters to reduce the list of possible answers. This is essential when only a few letters are known. For example, you can filter out rarely used words. 3) Choose the language of the word list, from a large range of downloadable dictionaries. 36 languages are currently available (see below) 4) Contains 5 different modes for help solving Crosswords, Anagrams, Synonyms, Codewords and Cryptic Crosswords. Codeword mode allows the user to specify which letters are already known (and hence not considered for the unknown letters), and which unknown letters are the same (i.e have the same Codeword number). Cryptic mode contains extra help with many examples 5) Solves "two word" answers. This is very useful in combination with first and last names of famous people. It also finds "two word" anagrams 6) View answers in multiple columns. Optimized use of screen space. Takes full advantage of size of tablet 7) Can be played in portrait or landscape mode. Just rotate your device and the display adjusts automatically 8) The dictionary also contains some foreign language words. These are often found in some crosswords.
