Crossword Quiz - Word Puzzles!

After just a few minutes I began questioning the intelligence of the developers. I was bored and thought a crossword puzzle would be relaxing so I downloaded the app. Out of curiosity I got the history category. I’m studying archival science while working in a museum so naturally I love history and had high hopes. I quickly realized the devs had very little knowledge on history let alone the proper names for 80% of what they were showing. Not everyone may know what a halberd is but everyone will assume at first glance it is not a spear. They showed a picture of the Judaean fortress of Masada and I got excited that they would include such a beautiful place so few know about. I was quickly disappointed as I realized the word was citadel. Not only is it not a citadel but it comes nowhere close to fitting the characteristics of one. Just so I knew I wasn’t lying in what I’m about to say, it took me about 30 seconds to find a description on google. In other words, if you are going to advertise yourself as the best crossword app you might want to actually research the words that belong to the pictures you show. 30 seconds people, it’s not difficult. I would gladly pay for such an app if it was accurate and actually challenging. The only challenge this app provides is discerning what random word they decided to attach to a picture.

It’s from the same company that made Infinite Word Search so my expectations are pretty low. First issue is with hints. Some are confusing or just incorrect. For example one of the hints showed a tunnel and a person falling. Apparently the answer was supposed to be “pitfall” but how are you supposed to get that when a part of the hint shows a tunnel? How is that a pitfall? It also has yoga labeled as a “Pop culture sport” when yoga isn’t a sport. I do like the hand drawn and animated hints. Second there are hints that have nothing to do with the category in question which was one of my complaints with the word search game from them. Such as the “Supernatural” category having hints and answers that don’t have anything to do with the supernatural.

This game is the best it allows you to learn new things while trying to solve the puzzle something about history or pop culture, literature, law , accessories, you learn about America, fashion, and technology you just have fun about learning in a good way and you get to challenge to see if you know all the answers to the puzzle off the top of your head you learn about things that happen years ago but it’s very interesting
