About this game

Crossword DS is a Nintendo DS word-puzzle collection featuring more than a thousand puzzles across three game types: Crosswords, Wordsearch, and Anagrams. Players can save their progress at any time and return to unfinished puzzles later.

Features

  • Crossword puzzles span Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty levels, with a fourth level that can be unlocked.
  • Crosswords begin with basic four-by-four puzzles and increase in difficulty and size as players progress.
  • The DS stylus is used to write answers on the touch screen, circle hidden words, and correct mistakes.
  • An optional hint system can provide an additional clue, reveal a letter, or solve an entire word.
  • Wordsearch challenges players to find words hidden in increasingly larger blocks of letters.
  • Anagrams provides six random letters and asks players to form three-, four-, five-, or six-letter words.

Developed by Nuevo Retro Games and published by Nintendo, Crossword DS is designed for players of varied ages and skill levels.
