## Crossword Description
Created by British editors, Arrow Words is a classic crossword app with a useful twist. In arrow words puzzles, the clues are shown right in the puzzle grid, making them easy to view and play on the iPad screen. 

This lovingly produced app includes 400 all-new Arrow Words puzzles in 4 levels. Easier levels use simpler words and a smaller grid, perfect for a short break. Harder levels have tougher clues and larger puzzle grids for hours of challenging fun. Also, careful editing and a huge pool of words ensure that clues don’t repeat too often. 

The sound and graphics are also designed for true crossword aficionados. Choose from three visual interfaces that recreate the atmosphere of the crossword in the Sunday paper. If you miss using your favorite pen to solve puzzels, you’ll love the optional sounds of a moving pen as you fill in the squares, custom recorded for each letter! 

Features: 

• Once you’ve solved an Arrow Words puzzle on the iPad, you’ll never go back to paper! 
• 400 puzzles, 4 difficulty levels and grid sizes 
• 3 interface options: Classic, News, Colour 
• Optional sound effects and background music 
• iPod function support
