Broken app?
A week or so ago this app, which I have used and enjoyed for years, began to malfunction on my phone (iOS). Developers web site does not work either. Does anyone know if they are still around?

Description
Welcome to the world of acrostics! An acrostic, also called a crostic or double crostic, is a cousin of crossword puzzles, with clues and answers whose letters are rearranged to form a quote from a famous (or not-so-famous) author. If you're familiar with acrostics, you will quickly see how convenient they are on the iPhone, because letters are automatically copied to the correct place as you type them in.
Crostix, the online library of acrostic puzzles, is now available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It includes 150 puzzles, from easy to fiendishly hard, and you can buy more puzzles right in the application. For free sample puzzles, download the aptly-named Crostix Free.
The program has all the features you'd expect:
- get hints for a single letter or an entire word,
- see your score, based on how many hints you needed,
- change the font size by pinching,
- rotate the device as you like, and
- get help on all program options.
If you're new to the world of acrostics, the application also includes a short description to get you started. More tutorials about acrostics are available on our Web site!

Crostix Reviews
Great game!
I love this game! I feel like the puzzles are challenging, and fun to complete. I’m so glad there are more to purchase and download! Note: after updating to iOS 18, I had to delete and reinstall which means I have to start over on the puzzles, but that’s fine with me. I’m impressed that an app that has gone 7 years without an update is holding strong!
My favorite Anacrostics in electronic form
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.
STILL THE BEST WORD APP!!!

Great app but no updates for several years!
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!
Great app
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.
Love it!
So much fun.
Not bad
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.
The Best
Excellent puzzles from easy to fiendish! I can't get enough!
Great Game!
I love word puzzles and this is one that works very well - great interface; nice gradations on clues; super variety of topics and quotes.
