 Enjoyable And Easy To Play Game August 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this game strictly for the easier crosswords, but soon started dabbling with the other games - Wordsearch and Anagrams.br /br /Much to my complete surprise I got hooked on the Wordsearch games and what makes it so surprising is that I never liked Wordsearch games before! In the magazines, I hated these things! But I really like this!br /br /I find that the touch screen is more responsive and recognizes the letters easier than some of the other DS games that use this lettering on the touch screen.br /br /I also like "The New York Times Crosswords" game, but this game is great if you just want to sit back, relax and play at an easier pace.br /br /It's staying in my stash of games permanently.
Fun August 19, 2008
I enjoy doing crosswords and word searches and this game meets my expectations. The Anagrams can be a little difficult at times, but still makes the game fun.
 A decent crossword game...for kids August 10, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's important to understand that this game seems to have been designed specifically for kids. It starts with very simple 4x4 grids, with mostly fill-in-the-blank clues, and progresses to more difficult, though still pretty basic crossword styles. It also includes a couple other word-based games (anagrams and word-searches) that are similarly geared toward younger users.br /br /The handwriting recognition is only fairly accurate - about the same as Brain Age. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, though not particularly conducive to fast puzzle solving.br /br /If you are looking for a more challenging crossword game - as you would find in a newspaper, for example - check out the New York Times Crossword Puzzles, also for the Nintendo DS.
Good for Crossword beginners August 3, 2008
The crossword section of this game is really easy, I think it would be better for beginners or kids. It does a great job of recognizing handwriting though and there are a ton of crosswords, so I don't think you'll run out of them for a while! br /I like the small wordsearches that fit on one screen, but when they get larger, it's hard to find words while having move the actual puzzle all over the screen. br /I really like the anagrams, I spent more time doing those then anything else! br /If you'd like to get into Crosswords or have a kid who would, then check this out. If you're already an avid player of Crosswords this would be too easy for you.
 Too easy! July 31, 2008

It's a little boring, at least for me. You have to get through too many simple crosswords before you get to anything slightly interesting. I'd like something in between this version and the NY times version. I'm smart but not brilliant.
