Crosswords DS (Nintendo DS, 2008)

Product Specs

Description

Nintendo's own crossword puzzle game for DS has players holding the handheld sideways, like a book, and entering letters through touch-screen handwriting recognition. As players enter their answers, the clue is displayed, along with the clue to the other word the selected box is part of (if any), so the "down" clue is displayed along with the "across" clue while entering an "across" answer, and vice versa. Flashy graphical flourishes and expressive sound effects liven up the traditional pen-and-paper game, and half-finished puzzles can be saved for later. Hundreds of puzzles of various grid sizes and difficulties are available.
