About Crossword Unlimited +

Play an unlimited number of tailor-made crossword puzzles!

This app contains a database of many thousands of straight and general knowledge clues and answers, so that it can generate unique crosswords based on your own interests, ability and device. Tailor made crosswords mean more fun for players, and produces more relevant games. Later you can progress to more challenging games, but always playing crosswords that are relevant to your interests.

Note that this application includes options to use US Spellings only, and give a US bias to the general knowledge questions.

You can configure for the generated crossword puzzle:

1) Grid size (hence adapt the crossword to your available screen size)
Specify exactly how many columns and rows to use (from 3 to 20). Even non square grids (e.g. 12x15) are possible.
2) Grid Type
In addition to British style crosswords, the game can also generate grids to be Arrow Crosswords (Arrowords), where the clues are integrated into the grid, or as Compact style grids, an unusual but very useful condensed grid format, especially for small screens
3) Clue Difficulty
Difficulty of the clues (straight and general knowledge) can be configured from easy to very difficult!
4) Type of Crossword
Choose to play with normal clues only; or with a mix of normal and general knowledge clues. Crosswords with only general knowledge clues are also possible.
5) Clue Genre
Tailor the crossword to your interests! Choose to have clues from particularly genres, e.g. Music, Entertainment, History, Politics, Nature etc.
6) Country Bias
The app adapts the general knowledge questions, according to where you live
7) US or UK Spelling
Choose if crossword answers use American English or British English spellings

You can configure for the display:

1) Zoom in & out
You can zoom in & out of the grid, and move around, making it possible to play larger grids even on smaller screens
2) Screen layout
Choose how much screen space for the grid and how much for the word list, using our unique movable split bar.
3) Orientation
Can be played in portrait or landscape mode. Just rotate your device and the display adjusts automatically.
4) Clue and Keyboard font size
Configure the size of the words bigger or smaller, depending on your device and your eyesight!

Useful game aids mean you can always finish the crossword:

1) Play Concurrently
Ability to save and reload games, so several games can be played at the same time
2) Built-in crossword matcher
The game can show you potential answers for an uncompleted word in the grid. The game uses the length of the word and the letters that you have already entered and displays the matching words, by using a built-in dictionary of 65,000 words. This aid even works for the general knowledge clues! Also includes the ability to look up word definitions or details on a fact or person.
3) Validate
Confirm if a given answer is correct
4) Reveal Word or Letter
If you can make no further progress, choose to reveal a letter or the whole word to a clue of your choosing
5) Anagrams
At very easy level, an anagram of the answer is shown as part of the clue, to provide further help. With this aid it should be possible to complete most crossword puzzles.
6) Show Wrong
When the grid is completed, the app will show all wrong answers, to allow you to correct and complete the game

Each game is assigned a difficulty level from 0 (easy) to 9 (very hard). The difficulty level is determined by the settings. Each difficulty level maintains the high scores (measured by fastest time to complete the game). The game displays the best 20 scores for each difficulty level.
Compare your high scores with others around the world by using Google Play's "Game Services".

I've tried several crossword puzzle apps and this has been the best. Customizable puzzle size up to 20 x 20, easy medium to hard difficulty. I love it.

by Y####:

Great app overall, ... answers to some clues are strange though

M70%
by M####:

Challenging

M70%
by M####:

I like it so far with good variety of puzzles. My only regret is that it has no cryptics - any likelihood?

U70%
by U####:

Great but recently getting general knowledge and foreign word clues although I've selected straight clues only. Please rectify.

P70%
by P####:

Fun exercise with good controls to dial it just right for you.

Y70%
by Y####:

Couple of times I've had trouble with esoteric clues for fairly common words... But it's all about the learnin'

H70%
by H####:

There are a few questionable solutions given, but you start to get used to them and end up knowing the type of answer to give. I still enjoy it.

I70%
by I####:

Great for all player levels

Y70%
by Y####:

Great investment. Tons of options and settings. Could stand a couple tweaks but does a wonderful job auto-generating many styles of crosswords, on levels from 'duh' to 'you @$$!!' :) Arrowwords and SaveGame in recent update will be cool. Well worth the money! In fact, I'm tempted to send after each update because it just keeps getting better!

P70%

Best crossword app I've tried.

Excellent

Y70%
by Y####:

I paid for the app and it won't down load

X70%
by X####:

Find the double clues a bit confusing. However I like that you can select categories. I think I just need to get used to the clues and their format.

I70%
by I####:

I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME

H70%
by H####:

It has some American answers but when you get used to it, it's good.

G70%
by G####:

Its ok but repeats alot.

R70%
by R####:

Some clues are just too vague or blatantly wrong and very easy is well easy but easy is virtually impossible especially with vague or wrong clues layout format is ok.

T70%
by T####:

Love the concept, but some of the questions are very obscure and answers incorrect, but has the making of a good application. Clear and easy to work with.

T70%
by T####:

It's very good but has some wierd answers at times, my favourite was a county in West Yorkshire, answer turned out to be Bristol.

W70%
by W####:

Amazing! Just what I was looking for!

F70%
by F####:

I've been looking for general knowledge crosswords for ages + love this app. What would make it better was if there was the option just to reveal one letter, but it's still good.

T70%
by T####:

Very well done, but found easy mode quite hard.
