Features & Capabilities

Welcome to the world of acrostics! An acrostic, also called a crostic or double crostic, is a cousin of crossword puzzles, with clues and answers whose letters are rearranged to form a quote from a famous (or not-so-famous) author. If you're familiar with acrostics, you will quickly see how convenient they are on the iPhone, because letters are automatically copied to the correct place as you type them in.

Crostix Free is a free version of our Crostix application, containing sample puzzles from our library. Try them out, and if you like them, get the full version, with 150 puzzles, from easy to fiendishly hard, or just buy more in Crostix Free using in-app purchase.

The program has all the features you'd expect:

  • get hints for a single letter or an entire word,
  • see your score, based on how many hints you needed,
  • change the font size by pinching,
  • rotate the device as you like, and
  • get help on all program options.

If you're new to the world of acrostics, the application also includes a short description to get you started. More tutorials about acrostics are available on our Web site.

It’s a great game, if only it would not disappear from the app. The screen just goes blank. If you uninstall it, then reinstall it, it will return, but it will go blank again. It’s junk. Don’t waste your time.

I love these puzzles! Some of them are pretty tough, and I have to ask the Internet, but then I do my best to remember and voilà… I’ve learned something new! Here’s a quick tip for those of you who have finished them and want to start again. Just uninstall then reinstall the app. When it prompts you to buy puzzles, click already purchased and you can restore them, blank and ready to go again.
