Great quotes, but. . .
Not from your space
I've worked a handful of these acrostics and so far, the quotations and word lists are top notch. But I miss the little cross-reference numbers that most acrostics have. The lack of punctuation is a bit off-putting, too. Doesn't mean I won't buy more! It's not easy to find puzzles difficult enough to entertain me as much as these do.
Great Fun

Very well done and good practice for trivia contests, teasing one's memory for snippets of poetry, history, geography and science learned long ago. Ross

Croatix combines two puzzles in one. What you figure out in one puzzle will help you solve the other.
Excellent

I enjoy this app and have found the "elementary" Sherlock Holmes puzzles exactly the right difficulty level. Some of the short puzzles (captions, historical headlines) were too easy.
Great Fun

I love this app! I rarely get the paid versions of games, but this was well worth it. I used to buy Acrostic books at Barnes and Noble. This provides the same enjoyment but in an easy to use format. No pencil and eraser needed. Nice quotes, clever clues, puns. Its all fun.
You just stole my money!!!!!

I paid for the Crostix Big Book a couple of years ago. Today I was sent an app update to "fix" bugs. Well she fixed me! Though I already bought it, my completed puzzles show blank. Then the HELP button told me to press "buy it" and it would not charge me since I previously purchased it. But it did charge me. I want my $1.99 back AND my completed puzzles. What a mess. Don't buy this. It was crashing a lot!!!!!
The best Acrostic

I've enjoyed these quote-acrostic puzzle for a long while, and I recommend them to anyone else who like this sort of puzzle
Great game poor app

While I really enjoy anacrostic puzzles this app's in game purchase feature does not work. I have already done the first nine books ad nauseum and am frustrated that I cannot buy the latest two books
Yay, Crostics!

I love crostics, and I deeply appreciate the way filling in a square in either the clues or the quote automatically fills in the corresponding square in the other. I've bought most of the books available, and an enjoying them all at their differing difficulty levels. There are a couple of improvements I'd love to see: First, I'd love to have the ability to choose to skip over already filled squares in both clues and quotes. Second, I'd really love to have a space (perhaps one that could be toggled in and out of view?) that shows the first letters of the clue answers. On paper, I can sometimes get useful hints to clue answers by recognizing names or titles thus spelled out, but on my iPhone I absolutely can never see more than three of those letters at a time, which really doesn't work!
