CodyCross: Crossword Puzzles 1.84.0

Crosswords are a great word game where you are given hints for each word and you need to guess the exact word correctly. The thing that makes it fun is that guessing the right letters in one word can help you out in finding answers to other words too. Many people buy newspapers just to solve their famous crosswords and it is definitely a good mental exercise. CodyCross: Crossword Puzzles is an Android game that offers a nice twist on the conventional crossword puzzle. The innovation helps the game appeal to a larger audience while still offering the charm and happiness of solving a given crossword puzzle.

The game has a very simple layout with the main idea that the game lets you explore the solar system and the galaxy as you solve more crossword puzzles. This adds another level of intrigue to the gameplay and actually helps you with your space knowledge too. The good thing about the game is that it doesn't center around galaxies and solar systems in its crossword puzzles and offers a good mix of words to keep everyone interested.

The gameplay is extremely easy to follow. You start from Planet Earth where there are multiple levels with each level including multiple crossword puzzles. Once you solved the crosswords of all the groups of every level available, you move to a different location like 'Under the Sea' and start solving the crosswords on offer there. This basically helps to retain your interest in the game as you keep getting a new target. With multiple levels, there are a lot of crosswords and therefore, if you like to do crosswords every day, the app can help you with that too.

The crosswords in the game work a bit differently than the ones in real life. Newspaper crosswords have words in across and down formats. The CodyCross: Crossword Puzzles offer crosswords in the across format only. The lack of a down format would logically mean that you won't have any additional letters from your correct guesses. However, to make up for this, the crossword puzzle game puts the final letter from your guessed word for all other words in the puzzle. Each word comes with its own hint to help you out and once you complete the entire puzzle, one specific word would also be formed in the down format.

The game provides multiple 'powers' to help you figure out the right words in any given puzzle. The powers are unlocked as you play the game and progress further. The powers can be used in any puzzle by using the in-game currency generated either via in-app purchases or by watching ad videos etc. One power reveals any letter of your choice on the grid whereas another power gives you three letters in random locations on the puzzle board. The powers help make the game interesting and using them correctly can help you pass a tricky round.
The game also has a great feedback section where you can provide feedback on the words in the crosswords and the hints offered for them. The game collects this feedback by asking for your opinion on at least one word in each completed puzzle and this shows the developers really want to improve the game as much as possible.

Features:

• Multiple levels with each level having multiple crossword puzzles
• Great 'space' environment background for the game
• Good variety of words available in each puzzle
• Excellent availability of powers that serve as in-game hints

Conclusion:

CodyCross is an enjoyable puzzle game that can help you test your vocabulary as well as your ability to identify word patterns. With multiple rounds available and a good in-puzzle hint mechanism, all crossword lovers will definitely enjoy the game.
