Description
Arrow crosswords are similar to normal crosswords, but the clues are integrated into the grid.
Advantages of arrow crosswords are:
• Immediately see the clue for a given grid position
• No need to display a separate clue list, giving more room to display the grid
• Much easier to scan the crossword at a glance
• Larger number of crossovers, more reward for finding the answers
• Most popular type of crossword in many countries
They are also known as Arrowords, and as Scandinavian crosswords.
Other Features:
• You can zoom in & out of the grid, and move around, making it possible to play larger grids even on smaller screens
• Each new grid is generated on-the-fly by the app, meaning unlimited games to play
• Many 1000's of clues, both straight and general knowledge
• Very configurable game generator, allowing you to specify the grid size, grid type, clue types and the difficulty of clues/answers
• Choose between US or UK English spellings
• General knowledge questions tailored to your country (e.g. US, UK, Australia, Canada, etc.)
• Allows you to generate crosswords tailored to your ability, nationality and device size
• Ability to save and reload games, so several games can be played at the same time
• Numerous aids in case you get stuck, e.g. validate word/letter, reveal word and even a built-in crossword solver to show potential matches

screens
