CrossCraze: The Ultimate Crosswords and Scrabble Alternative
CrossCraze offers a refreshing, customizable take on traditional word-based board games, perfect for both casual gamers and serious enthusiasts.
CrossCraze is a captivating and updated version of the beloved word game, perfect for those who enjoy challenging themselves against an offline computer opponent. Additionally, it offers the option to play in multiple languages including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian.
- 28 BOARD LAYOUTS: With board sizes ranging from the standard 15x15 squares to 21x21, players have various options to choose from.
- 12 BOARD STYLES: Customize the appearance of the board to suit personal preferences and even customize screen colors.
- 2 GAME MODES: Choose between "Classic" mode where new letters must connect to existing words (e.g., changing "rabble" to "scrabble") or "Tile Stacking" mode where new tiles can be placed over old ones (e.g., "scrabble" becomes "scramble").
- 10 SKILL LEVELS: Unlike online word games tainted by cheating players using puzzle solvers and unfair in-app purchases, CrossCraze's single player "solitaire" mode ensures a fair match by allowing users to select a computer opponent that matches their skill level. The AI opponent never takes more than a moment to think, never abandons a game prematurely, and never sends inappropriate messages.
- 9 LANGUAGES: CrossCraze's extensive tournament-standard vocabularies include nearly 5 million words. Users can view English and French dictionary definitions with a simple finger swipe.
- PLAY IT YOUR WAY: To accommodate unique gameplay preferences such as using names or non-traditional words, CrossCraze offers a "flexible vocabulary" option that enables the override of the default word list. Additionally, users can challenge the computer opponent's moves.
- STREAMLINED GAMEPLAY: CrossCraze provides a seamless playing experience with precise and rapid tile placement. Words are validated and scored instantly as they are built.
- LOST FOR WORDS? CrossCraze features a distinctive hint system that helps players find the best possible word. Users can choose to receive as many or as few hints per game as they desire. The hints can either spell out the complete word or provide guidance on where to look.
- SORT OR SCRAMBLE: Users can conveniently sort their letter rack alphabetically or divide the letters into vowels and consonants using the automatic rack sorting feature. Alternatively, the rack can be scrambled with a simple double-tap.
- PREPARE FOR TOTAL WORD DOMINATION: CrossCraze offers educational benefits for both children and adults. It helps improve spelling, broaden vocabulary, and can be used as a language learning tool. Additionally, it serves as excellent training for fans of anagrams, crossword puzzles, and other classic word building board games. Impress your friends and progress from beginner to tournament word master!
- FREE vs PRO: CrossCraze FREE provides the game's essential features, supported by minimal non-intrusive advertising for a distraction-free experience.
