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 Free is a free version of our Crostix application, containing sample puzzles from our library. Try them out, and if you like them, get the full version, with 150 puzzles, from easy to fiendishly hard, or just buy more in Crostix Free using in-app purchase.
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.

Great games!

I love these puzzles! Some of them are pretty tough, and I have to ask the Internet, but then I do my best to remember and voilà… I’ve learned something new! Here’s a quick tip for those of you who have finished them and want to start again. Just uninstall then reinstall the app. When it prompts you to buy puzzles, click already purchased and you can restore them, blank and ready to go again.

Challenging, but great layout!

I love that I can see the clues and the puzzle at the same time and the size is easy to read. The clues are challenging, but not impossible. I don’t consider it cheating to use the internet and a few hints!! Hours of enjoyment for the price.

Perfect

Just right in difficulty for me. Love the literary sensibility of the quotes. The “letter” hints are a big help.

Really Good Puzzles

Nice layout and nicely challenging. Welcome spread from easier to harder. Well worth the $.99. Only real disappointment is that the explanation of the source of the quote is often minimal, sometimes not even mentioning the book!

Too hard!

Clues are way too hard, even for easiest sample puzzles!! Bummer because I really like the app’s layout and design! 4 stars for everyone better than me!! I can’t even get it by doing the quote without using many hints!! Recommend a super easy level. Developers are obviously wow smart ;-).

Get it!

Love acrostics? Get this app. Easy to use, lots of books (you'll totally get $.99 worth of enjoyment out of each)!

Nice

Very nice game. The one small change it needs is to stop the words on the grid from wrapping.

Great puzzles!

My only problem with this app is that I ran out of puzzles months ago, and they only added more very recently. For some reason, I couldn't buy the new puzzles on my old downloaded version even though I updated it, so I had to download another copy. Since it's free, that's not a big problem. Anyway, I have loved doing crostics for many years, and was very pleased to find an app for them. It works fine on my rather old iPad.

I love this game!

I like games like this anyway to try to keep my "brain age" down, but this one is so much fun! Thanks!
