Crossword Meets Cryptogram

Features & Capabilities

Acrostic Crossword Puzzles blends the engaging challenge of a crossword with the mystery of a cryptogram. Each letter in a famous quote is linked to a letter in one of the clue answers, so as you fill clues more letters appear in the quote grid, and the reverse is also true—adding letters to the quote fills the corresponding clues. This back-and-forth creates a satisfying, brain-teasing experience perfect for fans of word games.

The app starts strong with 60 free, ad-free puzzles and a growing library of packs for a small fee, totaling thousands of puzzles from renowned publishers. Advanced features include automatic grid updates, hints, multi-level undo, error removal, and progress tracking across multiple difficulty levels. Built by Egghead Games, the extension is designed for quick sessions or deep puzzle sessions, with support available and a guarantee of refunds if not satisfied.

User Reviews

Users praise the app’s high-quality, varied acrostic puzzles and strong customer support, plus a rich add-on library and smooth solving with hints. However, recurring stability issues (crashes, can't open) and concerns about content freshness (repeats, few new puzzles) dominate. Cross‑device problems (Mac input beeps and iPad purchase glitches) and UX requests (font size, hiding puzzles, Apple Pencil support) appear in multiple reviews, though many issues are addressed by responsive support and timely updates.

Pros

Quality, well-constructed acrostic puzzles with engaging clues and varied difficulty.
Large library of add-on puzzle packs and reasonable pricing.
Smooth interface with helpful features like hints and erase errors; two halves stay in sync.
Excellent, responsive customer support that resolves issues quickly.
Provides cognitive engagement and nostalgia, with content that keeps you coming back.

Cons

Frequent stability issues: the app crashes or won’t open, sometimes after purchases.
Content freshness concerns: not enough new puzzles; some packs feel repetitive.
Platform/input glitches: Mac beeps and cannot enter letters; iPad purchases sometimes blocked.
Some UX limitations and feature requests (font size, hiding puzzles; Apple Pencil support).

Recent reviews

I have played these Acrostic games by Egghead for years and absolutely love them. The format of the puzzles runs smoothly and I like the fact you can have a little help if you want it. The content of each puzzle is interesting and often amusing. A good form of entertainment that keeps me on my toes mentally. I had a problem with my iPad and lost all of my purchases. Egghead responded immediately and restored everything right away. Good people to work with.

This is one of my favorite apps. Really like the different challenge levels. My favorite game is Acrostics by Cyn. Would like to see more of those. If you like word games and haven’t yet tried an acrostic, you should give this one a try. When I recently had a problem with the game not opening, I couldn’t believe how responsive Michael was. He had the problem fixed in no time. Really appreciate it!

This is a great acrostic app. I’ve bought dozens of puzzle packs. Tech support is very good too. They went to great lengths to help me with a problem.
