Useful game aids mean you can always finish the crossword:

1) 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.
2) Validate
Confirm if a given answer is correct
3) 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
4) 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.
5) Show Wrong
When the grid is completed, the app will show all wrong answers, to allow you to correct and complete the game

Further Improvements on the way in the coming weeks:

1) More clues
We aim to add 1000's more clues, including new general knowledge areas (works of art, significant historical events etc.)
2) More configuration
Futher power to tune the game to your interests, e.g. restrict music questions to 70's and 80's music
3) More languages
As with all Havos word games, word/clue dictionaries in different languages will be released. French is now done. Next will be Dutch and German.

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.

Please note that this is a new app. If you see something about the clues you do not like, please send us feedback rather than give a poor rating. We greatly value your comments and will address all issues you send to us.
