Crossword Unlimited

I like that this crossword game, unlike those from other appsmiths, has a database of words/clues, randomly selecting a grid and filling in the boxes. The rivals feel they have to employ a fleet of gridsmiths to write about a hundred puzzles.While I set the wordometer to US, the clues tend to be sounding UK. I do not knock other lands, but after the fracas from the 1770s, the lingos developed differently. I wish somebody else could make a random crossword filling engine and make the DB more localized. One more thing: I echo other users who’d like to see a panic button in case a puzzle is too tough and want to stop the game and get off. So long and thanks for The Rolling Stones.

I downloaded this game over four years ago. I don’t remember there being any ads. Now, I get a 30-second ad before and after each game and when I start each game I have to force close and reopen the app because the ads seem to be glitching the game (puzzle up, clock running, no clues). Also, the game has regional settings but the english-language clues are all British regardless of which region is set.

I love crosswords, but feel awkward about skipping out to the internet to hunt for words. This game has a hint mode that shows you the letters in the word all scrambled. Just enough help to let you push through most words. The user interface is clean, well-laid out, and intuitive. You probably won't need another crossword game.
