Crostix

I’ve always loved Anacrostics. I’ve been doing them with pencil and paper for years. This app works just like the printed ones, but once completely filled in, you get immediate feedback as to whether all entries are correct. They’re fun and challenging, especially at the higher difficulty levels.

I love this app, but there have been no new puzzles for several years. It's easy to use and most of the puzzles are information and fun to solve. I like the more complicated puzzles, not the gag lines. However, the Sherlock Holmes puzzles are extremely difficult. I exhausted the Mumford puzzles quite a while ago, which makes the current version of the app worthless. PLEASE add more puzzles soon!

One of the few I’ll actually pay for which says a lot. I’ve always loved this kind of puzzle. I’d love it it started with some “free” letters on the puzzle to get you started but all in all I really enjoy playing.

So much fun.

Overall, way too easy. As mentioned elsewhere, in-app purchases do not all work. Almost a year and this has not been fixed??? Update: Still cannot make in-ap purchases as of Dec 2017. No way to contact the developer. Downgrading to one star, as is totally useless.

Excellent puzzles from easy to fiendish! I can't get enough!

I love word puzzles and this is one that works very well - great interface; nice gradations on clues; super variety of topics and quotes.

I have spent many hours enjoying these puzzles and learning many things I did not know before. I hope that will continue to be additions to the Crostix library as I have completed most of them that are currently available.

These are great acrostic puzzles! There are a number of different themes and levels of difficulty. Wish they'd release some more puzzles soon!
