## Acrostic Crossword Puzzles Description
Acrostic puzzles are crosswords with a twist: find the hidden quote. This combination of crossword and cryptogram provides an entertaining brain workout. Each letter in the quote is linked to a letter in one of the clue answers. As you fill in more and more answers, more letters will begin to fill the quote grid, until eventually the entire quote is revealed. Once the quote is partially filled in, you can also do this process in reverse – each letter you add to the quote will fill in the corresponding letter in the clue answers. By working back-and-forth, eventually the entire quote and all clue answers will be revealed.

The app includes 60 free quality puzzles with no ads, ever. They range from beginner to expert from renowned publishers like Acrostica, Acrostics by Cyn, Lovatts Puzzles,  PennyPress Anacrostics, Puzzle Baron and Spanish language puzzles from Tav Ripo. Additional puzzle packs containing 48 to 50 puzzles are available for a small fee; the full library is 7100 puzzles!

Advanced play features include automatic grid updating and indexing, see related cells, multi-level undo, remove errors, and hints. A wide range of difficulty levels will challenge beginners and seasoned players alike.

If you like word games, crosswords or cryptograms, acrostic puzzles are a fun way to exercise your brain!

## Acrostic Crossword Puzzles Reviews in United States

### ***** "Best of the Best"
I have played these Acrostic games by Egghead for years and absolutely love them. The format of the puzzles runs smoothly and I like the fact you can have a little help if you want it. The content of each puzzle is interesting and often amusing. A good form of entertainment that keeps me on my toes mentally. I had a problem with my iPad and lost all of my purchases. Egghead responded immediately and restored everything right away. Good people to work with.
-- EBurton64, 2025-03-17

### ***** "Love This App"
This is one of my favorite apps.  Really like the different challenge levels.  My favorite game is Acrostics by Cyn.  Would like to see more of those.  If you like word games and haven’t yet tried an acrostic, you should give this one a try.  When I recently had a problem with the game not opening, I couldn’t believe how responsive Michael was.  He had the problem fixed in no time.  Really appreciate it!
-- KMRANCH96, 2025-02-27

### ***** "Great game"
This is a great acrostic app. 
I’ve bought dozens of puzzle packs.  Tech support is very good too.  They went to great lengths to help me with a problem.
-- Cat Pillow, 2025-02-14

### ***-- "Great app but I’ve run out of games"
I been happily using this app for several years and played each puzzle at least twice. But they don’t seem to be adding anymore puzzles. When I attempted to email them from their service page, after I’d filled out the email form it told me that using that form was forbidden (say what?). Anyway, I’d love it if they’d add some more acrostic collections but I guess I’ll have to find another app. Ce la vie!
-- Fredfrig###, 2025-01-07

### ***** "This is the only game I play on my phone"
It’s how I get to sleep at night, the only thing that helps my insomnia. I play it for 30-45 minutes and it wears my brain out enough to finally sleep. Works better than melatonin.

Wish they had anagram magic squares as a game app though. That on is my favorite Penny Press game.
-- Meggalino, 2024-04-28

### **--- "Acrostic Puzzles"
The PennyPress acrostics are not as satisfying as the other brand.
-- Nastybritishandshort, 2024-03-25

### **--- "Buggy"
There are some issues here. Sometimes the clue states that the answer is two words, but it’s only one. Choosing to erase mistakes will sometimes erase correct letters. I’ll immediately put the correct answer back in and retry to erase mistakes for the correct answer to now remain. There’s a bunch of little things like this that make this app not worth investing my time or money in.

Update: to the developer, the puzzle where I experienced the most issues, and the one that caused me to stop, but not the only puzzle where I experienced these issues, is the one that uses a quote from Simon Singh’s “The Code Book.” 

I was on the newest app update, iPhone 14 Pro Max w/ most recent version of iOS. 

I don’t recall any specifics about which individual puzzles than what I listed above. I played around 40 puzzles and was working my way through the expert puzzles. I hope that helps. 

I can add some specifics about the puzzle I listed. I had all answers correct and the puzzle wouldnt finish. It stated that I had an incorrect answer. Checking for mistakes erased correct letters and I put those back in and finally got it to accept that the puzzle was finished. I recall one answer being “selectw”. It would erase the first e and t and did so multiple times. Then it was just the t that was erased and then it stopped marking it as incorrect.
-- BigMicLittleMic, 2024-02-26

### **--- "Works great on iPad. Not so great on MacBook"
The app plays well on the IPad but on the M1 MacBook, despite the store saying it will work on Macs, you can't enter letters into the grid. Instead you hear a beeping noise every time you try. So, a very mixed review.
-- aerael, 2024-01-19

### ***** "Acrostics"
I do these daily, why did you take away my volumes? If this is a new system it stinks. I would like my volumes back Linda Hoffman
-- Kmsrae, 2023-09-25

### ****- "Great App!"
I really like this game and it’s interface.  Puzzles are challenging and fun.  Please add a daily challenge and you would earn five stars!
