CrossCraze

CrossCraze is a word game in which you place letters on a board to build crosswords and score points. You can play solo against a computer opponent or pass and play with a friend on the same PC. Bonus squares boost your score, while teacher mode and player statistics support your word play.

Game modes

Standard mode requires each new word to connect to existing letters, such as changing “rabble” to “scrabble.” In Tile Stacking mode, you can also drop new tiles on top of old ones, turning “scrabble” into “scramble.”

Opponents and languages

Choose from 10 computer skill levels to match your ability. The AI does not cheat, takes no more than a moment to think, and does not abandon a game before it ends or send inappropriate messages.

You can play in English (US or International), French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian or Swedish. The tournament-standard vocabularies contain over 5 million words. Dictionary definitions are available for English, French and Italian words with a swipe. A Flexible Vocabulary option lets you allow names and other words outside the default word list, and you can challenge the computer's words.

Boards and hints

Choose from 28 board layouts, from the classic 15x15 squares up to 21x21, or let the computer select one at random. There are 13 board styles, and you can customize the board's colours.

The hint system finds the best word available. You can set how many hints you want per game, and choose whether to reveal the full word or only where to look. Teacher mode shows the best word you could have played, helping you improve your crossword strategy.
