About the Game
CrossCraze is a fun, modern twist on the classic word game, designed for players who prefer the solo challenge of a computer opponent. You can also pass-and-play with a friend on the same PC. Place your letters on the board to build crosswords. Use bonus squares to boost your score. CrossCraze's teacher mode and player statistics will elevate your word play to another level.
◆ 10 SKILL LEVELS
Choose a computer opponent to perfectly match your own strength. The super-smart AI never cheats, never takes more than a moment to think, never abandons a game before the end, and never sends you inappropriate messages. How refreshing!
◆ 9 LANGUAGES
Play in English (US or International), French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian or Swedish. CrossCraze's tournament-standard vocabularies include over 5 million words. View English, French and Italian dictionary definitions with a swipe of your finger.
◆ 2 GAME MODES
Choose from standard gameplay, where letters must be placed next to existing ones (e.g. change 'rabble' to 'scrabble'), and 'Tile Stacking' mode, where new tiles can also be dropped on top of old ones (e.g. 'scrabble' becomes 'scramble').
◆ 28 BOARD LAYOUTS
Tired of the same board each game? Choose a new layout, ranging from the classic 15x15 squares up to 21x21, or have the computer pick one at random.
◆ 13 BOARD STYLES
Tailor the board's appearance to your own personal taste. You can even choose your own colours.
◆ CUSTOMIZABLE DICTIONARY
Want to play names, or other words that aren't usually allowed? The 'Flexible Vocabulary' option lets you override the default word list. You can even challenge the computer's words.
◆ LOST FOR WORDS?
Don't scrabble in the dark. CrossCraze's unique hint system will find you the best word. Allow yourself as many or as few hints per game as you like. CrossCraze can spell out the full word, or just show you where to look.
◆ TEACHER MODE
Master your crossword puzzle strategy by seeing the best word you could have played.
