Crostix Free

Welcome to the world of acrostics! An acrostic, also called a crostic or double crostic, is a cousin of crossword puzzles, with clues and answers whose letters are rearranged to form a quote from a famous (or not-so-famous) author. If you're familiar with acrostics, you will quickly see how convenient they are on the iPhone, because letters are automatically copied to the correct place as you type them in.

My Self-Congratulation
Brian Mountford

I figure that every game should get a glowing review from its own developer. After all, if you can't please yourself, who can you please? So here it is, on the very first day of availability on the App Store. Wonderful! Amazing! Mind-blowing! Non-stop word puzzle action! I can't wait for the full version, with over a hundred puzzles!

Great free version, full version is too expensive.

I like this game well enough and would like to purchase the full version, but compared to other apps in the iTunes store, $3.99 is too steep for the number of puzzles you get. I'll wait for the price to go down or the number of puzzles to increase greatly. I do like the way it plays, though. Nice work!!

Better than regular crosswords

These are fun games - challenging and enjoyable. If you have never played them they are better than regular crosswords. Try the free ones they, do a good job. Check out their website. I even bought their book.

We need more!

Wah! I've done all the crostix and bought the extras and did those too and i'm hopelessly addicted! These are fantastic! But what am I to do now that I've done them all?! Very nice app, some were quite challenging, especially those 'fiendish' ones. Give us more!
