Clinicross is a crossword puzzle game for studying medical and nursing topics. Pick your unit or type any subject, set a difficulty, and get a fresh crossword to solve. BUILT AROUND HOW NURSES ACTUALLY THINK Tap your unit — ICU, ER, Med-Surg, L&D, PACU, NICU, Oncology, Peds and more — and get vocabulary from that specialty, not generic medical trivia. FEATURES: Unit-Based Puzzles: Nineteen specialties, from Critical Care to Wound Care to Cath Lab. Clinician-Reviewed Content: Every term and clue in the reviewed library is read by a practicing ER nurse before it reaches a puzzle. New topics come from what students actually search for. Three Difficulty Levels: From foundational terminology to board-style clinical reasoning. Study & Play: Check your answers, reveal a letter when you are stuck, and replay any puzzle as many times as you like. Print & Share: Export any puzzle as a PDF, with or without the answer key — useful for study groups and clinical instructors. Progress Tracking: Streaks, solve times, and completion rate over time. Your Library: Every puzzle you generate is saved to revisit whenever you want. PREMIUM: Remove ads and unlock unlimited, on-demand puzzle generation, custom themes, full stats, and share and export. $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; payment is charged to your Apple ID and you can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Whether you are a nursing student, a new grad on orientation, or a nurse brushing up before a certification, Clinicross turns studying into something you actually want to open. Clinicross is a study aid and word game for exam practice and fun — not a clinical reference. Puzzle content is AI-generated and may contain errors; always verify against trusted sources and never use it for patient care. Your puzzles, progress, and stats are stored on your device — they are not uploaded to us and do not transfer to a new phone. Deleting the app removes them permanently.

The Cryptography's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
