About Arrow Crossword
Arrow crosswords are similar to normal crosswords, but the clues are integrated into the grid.
Advantages of arrow crosswords are:
• Immediately see the clue for a given grid position
• No need to display a separate clue list, giving more room to display the grid
• Much easier to scan the crossword at a glance
• Larger number of crossovers, more reward for finding the answers
• Most popular type of crossword in many countries
They are also known as Arrowords, and as Scandinavian crosswords.
Other Features:
• You can zoom in & out of the grid, and move around, making it possible to play larger grids even on smaller screens
• Each new grid is generated on-the-fly by the app, meaning unlimited games to play
• Many 1000's of clues, both straight and general knowledge
• Very configurable game generator, allowing you to specify the grid size, grid type, clue types and the difficulty of clues/answers
• Choose between US or UK English spellings
• General knowledge questions tailored to your country (e.g. US, UK, Australia, Canada, etc.)
• Allows you to generate crosswords tailored to your ability, nationality and device size
• Ability to save and reload games, so several games can be played at the same time
• Numerous aids in case you get stuck, e.g. validate word/letter, reveal word and even a built-in crossword solver to show potential matches
• Can also generate grids using the more traditional British style grid. In addition there are Compact style grids, an unusual but very useful format, especially for small screens
• Possible to play with your choice of English, French, German and Dutch clues and answers

I play the game often but I would play more if the crazy flashing Tesco ad wasn't there. I have a friend who has epilepsy and he cannot play the game as the flashing is too much. I've never seen this type of advertising. It's absolutely crazy if Tesco or anyone else thinks this works on people. It would give absolutely anyone a headache. Rethink this ad please.

Some odd description or defenitions of words which throws me off course. Mostly annoying factor is that roman numerics, the periodic table, country or airport codes are used to get away with 2 or 3 letter words. Just makes it seem childish. Nonetheless a good game.

I like that there are loads of crosswords to complete. No daily limit etc. There are ads but these do not appear during a game. For this reason I don't find them intrusive. The game does not tell you when the answer is two words. This makes it very confusing at times. The reveal wrong is great. I struggle with my spelling and found that this has helped me greatly. Matches will search the dictionary for matches. I have found this useful with words that I don't use. Reveal Letter as helps.

The "report clue" button isn't always visible whether the word has been filled or not. Since I can't report the clue in the game, please note that the clue "messed bed artist" (Emin) ISN'T A STRAIGHT CLUE. Straight clues only were specified. Nor is "the boxer that ended (some other boxer's run of victories)". This is the sort of clue I hate

Very good game. A few wrong answers though. One of the most obvious was a question asking the two letter abreviation for a cars capacity. Answer - HP ! Sorry but that is HorsePower , capacity is CC ( Cubic Capacity)
