Application Description
Experience the classic crossword board game with a modern twist through CrossCraze, perfect for offline play either solo or with a friend. This engaging word puzzle game offers a fresh take on the traditional format, ideal for those who enjoy challenging themselves against a computer opponent or engaging in friendly competition via pass-and-play. Strategically place your letter tiles on the board to form crosswords and leverage bonus squares to maximize your score. CrossCraze enhances your gameplay with a teacher mode and detailed player statistics, helping you refine your word play strategy.
10 SKILL LEVELS
CrossCraze's single-player mode allows you to select a computer opponent that matches your skill level. Unlike online multiplayer games, the AI is designed to be fair and efficient, never cheating, taking too long to think, abandoning games prematurely, or sending inappropriate messages. Enjoy a refreshing and focused gaming experience.
2 GAME MODES
Choose between standard gameplay, where letters must connect crossword-style to existing words (e.g., 'rabble' to 'scrabble'), and 'Tile Stacking' mode, where you can place new tiles atop existing ones (e.g., 'scrabble' to 'scramble').
28 BOARD LAYOUTS
Break the monotony with 28 different board layouts, from the classic 15x15 grid to an expansive 21x21, or let the computer randomly select one for you.
10 BOARD STYLES
Personalize your gaming experience by selecting from 10 board styles, including the option to customize colors to match your preference.
9 LANGUAGES
Play in English (US or International), French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, or Swedish. CrossCraze boasts tournament-standard vocabularies with over 5 million words. Access English, French, and Italian dictionary definitions with a simple swipe.
CUSTOMIZABLE DICTIONARY
Enhance your gameplay by using the 'Flexible Vocabulary' option to include names or other typically disallowed words, and challenge the computer's word choices.
TEACHER MODE
Sharpen your crossword puzzle strategy with the teacher mode, which shows the best word you could have played.
LOST FOR WORDS?
Don't struggle in the dark; CrossCraze's unique hint system helps you find the best word. You can set the number of hints you use per game and choose whether the system reveals the entire word or just guides you to the right spot.
NO MORE IMPOSSIBLE RACKS
Select from three tile allocation methods: 'Random' for a chance-based draw, 'Balanced' for a more predictable selection, or 'Helpful' to ensure an even spread of letters on your rack.
SORT OR SCRAMBLE
Effortlessly organize your tiles with automatic sorting, arranging them alphabetically or separating vowels from consonants. Alternatively, mix them up with a quick double-tap.
PREPARE FOR TOTAL WORD DOMINATION
CrossCraze serves as an excellent educational tool for both children and adults, stimulating brain function, enhancing spelling skills, expanding vocabulary, and aiding in foreign language practice. It's also a perfect training ground for fans of anagrams, word jumbles, crossword puzzles, and other word scramble games. Embark on your journey from a casual player to a tournament word master.
