About Acrostics Crossword Puzzles

Acrostics, also known as Crostics, Anacrostics, and Double-Crostics, are like crossword puzzles with a bonus prize. The app includes 50 quality puzzles from Puzzle Baron, Acrostics by Cyn, Penny Press, Acrostica and Lovatts Puzzles. Your goal is to reveal a hidden quote in a grid by correctly answering crossword-style clues. This combination of crossword and cryptogram will stretch your brain with an entertaining workout. Each letter in the quote is linked to a letter in one of the clue answers. As you fill in more and more answers, more letters will begin to fill the quote grid, until eventually the entire quote is revealed. You can also do this in reverse. As words of the quote become clear, they will fill in the clue answers!

Designed for fast and easy play, Acrostics lets you concentrate on solving the clues without all the erasing of pencil and paper solving. The result is pure puzzle solving fun with no ads or distractions!

Advanced play features include automatic grid updating and indexing, see related cells, multi-level undo, remove errors, and hints. A wide range of difficulty levels will challenge beginners and seasoned players alike.

Acrostics includes more than 50 additional puzzle packs available for purchase, each for about the price of a mocha java caramel swirl Frappuccino. Pick your favorite publisher or try something different. These will provide HOURS and HOURS of fun!

If you like word games, crosswords or cryptograms, acrostics are a fun way to exercise your brain!

After buying additional puzzles..it keeps freezing up..can't even complete a puzzle without it locking up..tried updates...didnt help

S70%
by S####:

I really love acrostics. These are the first I've done online and I'm hooked! They are addictive, challenging and fun.

M70%
by M####:

Incredibly satisfying to complete these puzzles! Enough to keep you going for a bit until you need to buy more puzzles, and the layout and features are fun to use. I'm addicted!

S70%
by S####:

Love it! Wish they gave you more freebie puzzles though.

Y70%
by Y####:

Either I just don't like acrostics, or these are particularly badly created ones. Person who voiced Steve McQueen from cars? Is this a test of my ability to Google?

S70%
by S####:

The app is designed nicely, and the puzzles are engaging. The add-on puzzles are expensive, as apps go, and no indication is given of how many additional puzzles are in the packs!

S70%
by S####:

Glad I got the app. Don't usually buy games but love acrostics. This is a great way to pass the time.

J70%
by J####:

I really enjoy acrostics! They are probably my favorite puzzles and these are fun and challenging without being frustrating.

S70%
by S####:

Great game with clean interface. Really like it. Glad there are more puzzle options now.

S70%
by S####:

Very addictive

Y70%
by Y####:

I hope more people find out about them because they're the best puzzles of their type in the app store by far.

R70%
by R####:

No surprise that everyone rates 5 stars. Mike and Drew are *right on it* with the tiniest suggestion for improvement. They may answer your email at 2 in the morning! I've loved all these games in mags for decades, but they are SO much better electronically. No wasted time erasing or filling in squares. This is the ONLY dev the familiar mags like Penny Press/ Dell will license to present their puzzles as an app, because of their super high standards. More volumes are only $2.99, miniscule for HOURS of fun!

B70%
by B####:

A challenge that goes deeper than crosswords... The interface is easy while the puzzles can be hard.

N70%
by N####:

I have always loved this game and I'm really glad I found it, the puzzles you offer are fun and not too difficult, I'm liking all the features you have, please add more games!!!

S70%
by S####:

Please add a setting to skip already filled blocks. Would make it easier to fill both words in the grid and definitions.

S70%
by S####:

Great puzzles that make you think!

S70%

Challenging, but workable. Endless, free hints!

I really can't recommend Egghead Games enough. Acrostics are fun puzzles and this app is great. The app has lots of options but is very intuitive and well laid-out. You can control sounds within the app, select different puzzle layouts for difficulty/preference, and even change font sizes. Every app has a guide both for using the app and doing the puzzle. Egghead apps NEVER ask for phone permissions for things they don't need, such as location, speaker/mic/camera, or contacts access, you don't need a social media account to play, and you don't need to connect anything to get any perks. I wish more devs would follow their example but I'm overjoyed they do business this way. I found some errors in the Acrostica starter pack and let them know about it; customer service is impeccable. Mike M. took my input and made it right. Their apps are usually perfect and on the off chance something isn't, they fix it! Lots of fun for less than the price of a coffee, you'd think they'd charge more!

S70%
by S####:

Didn't like the sample pack and found it a bit pricey to have to immediately pay again to get my favourite penny puzzles but great fun nonetheless!

J70%
by J####:

I do crostics all the time on paper, now I can take them anywhere with me!

H70%
by H####:

After first install, app didn't work properly on my samsung 10.1 notebook. I posted a disappointing review and was contacted by the app owner/developer quickly who rapidly worked with me to resolve the issues in test mode. Everything works great now with the new upgrade! Love these acrostic puzzles. Excellent customer service!! Highly recommend Egghead Games. Best of all I get to do these electronically rather than purchasing individual puzzle magazines! Very convenient!

F70%
by F####:

I love this app. I can work Anacrostics wherever I go, and the developers keep rolling out improvements! Thanks for making me feel like my opinion is valid!

M70%
by M####:

A bit awkward but still fun

A70%
by A####:

I may be in the minority, but I liked the old keyboard a LOT better.

Y70%
by Y####:

You get 50 free puzzles which are well done and worth the download for that reason, but while I understand the concept of paying for games, 84 dollars seems a bit much for the full version. That's quite an annoying main menu screen. We should at least have an option to remove the rest of this long list of 28 add-on 2.99 volumes if we buy one volume. Also there seems to be no way to do the early puzzles again to try and get higher star rankings without deleting progress on all 50 at once.

Y70%
by Y####:

Well done, with hints and ability to erase errors... This app has spoiled me for paper acrostics.

Y70%
by Y####:

Many nice features. Love the erase errors options. Just challenging enough to stay interesting. Well done! Have recommend to other puzzle lovers.

Y70%
by Y####:

Very addicting, and fun to play whenever you have 5 minutes or 5 hours!

N70%
by N####:

Sometimes have to hit the letters a few times, but otherwise fun.

Y70%
by Y####:

Virtually no errors in the clues of the first couple hundred puzzles, and a decent level of literacy: some basic notions of foreign languages help, and there aren't too many sports surnames as clues. The texts excerpted range from Plato to self-help (more of the latter).

Y70%
by Y####:

I love acrostics and these have afforded me many hours of pleasure

Y70%
by Y####:

Would like it to sync between devices?

Y70%
by Y####:

These are the absolutely best.

V70%
by V####:

I love acrostics, they combine two other puzzle types I love: cryptograms and crosswords. These are challenging enough to not be boring, but not so impossible so as to be too frustrating to do. Totally worth the small cost - it's much cheaper than buying the same amount of puzzles in a book or magazine.

P70%
by P####:

Very nice - I love acrostics and these are great. Tapping to enter letters can be frustrating, though

Y70%
by Y####:

It can take a few taps to make entries but otherwise very fun

Y70%
by Y####:

There are certain word puzzles that I love and this is one of them. I have kept checking and finally this one popped up. I am throughly enjoying it and looking forward to many more hours of pleasure. Well done!

Y70%
by Y####:

If you love acrostics you will enjoy this app. I spend hours at a time doing these!

X70%
by X####:

Puzzles are interesting, in fact, I read a new book because of one of them. The process works like clockwork. Terrific App!

W70%
by W####:

It is really slow.
