Tiny Little Crosswords Wiki

I’m truly enjoying this little crossword game! I’m wondering if the hints are unlimited, or at some point will I have to purchase them? I didn’t read anything about this. Also, it would be nice to be able to shuffle the letters. Otherwise, a great way to relax and exercise your brain cells! Once again, I’d like to add that it would be helpful to be able to shuffle the letters. Also, I’m not a fan of dragging letters. Perhaps you could allow a word, whether across or down, to be highlighted once the player chooses it, and then allow the player to tap a letter to automatically populate a space. Dragging letters is a ‘drag’! Otherwise, a clever little game. And thanks for adding the daily free puzzle!

Even though they prefer you to buy your packs they used to give you one free puzzle a day, now however every time you try to open the daily puzzle the app crashes. It will of course let you purchase more packs but it will no longer load the daily puzzles, even after updating the app. I really did like Blue Ox offerings but this is definitely not on that list anymore. Obviously I was upset but they fixed the issue and I'm back in love with this game and Blue Ox - call me fickle but that's my opinion. Give it a try and I think you'll agree....

EDIT: Blue Ox added free daily puzzles, so my concerns below have been addressed. Upped my rating from 3 to 4 stars. I’ve enjoyed the other Blue Ox titles: Red Herring, 7 Little Words and Monkey Wrench. They’re not particularly challenging but their daily free puzzles are a nice 5-minute distraction. Tiny Little Crosswords has 56 free puzzles to start. These were quite fun, and some even had above-average difficulty. After those however, a $0.99 in-app purchase is required for each of several sets of 50 more puzzles. I guess the “1 free puzzle daily” is no longer the model they wish to support. That’s fine I suppose, but I finished the free content in a short time and have no intention of buying any packs, so I guess I might as well delete. I’d probably watch a video ad to get a free puzzle (an addition they’ve made to other apps), but that option isn’t available here. Just a bit of a disappointment after my enjoyment of previous Blue Ox games.

I have to say, this is one of the best tiny little games on the App Store. The sense of humor is absolutely charming. The puzzles are genuinely clever, and I feel like I’ve met someone I really like at the other end of solving them. There are a lot of good things about them, including that they are so easy to pick up and put down again, and that the command of English on the part of the puzzle maker’s is excellent. But the best thing is really the character that shows through. Great game, well done!

I have just added this app to my puzzle folder. Every day I do 6 different puzzle apps before going to sleep. I usually just do the free daily puzzle but now that I’ve added tiny little crosswords I find myself hanging out here a lot more. Challenging but fun. Always try to do it without a clue but if I need one it usually just gets me rolling. I just realized that most of my puzzle apps are Blue Ox. Guess I’ve found my favorite puzzle designers! Thanks for keeping my brain active.

Thank you for adding daily free games. This is a great, enjoyable game to play. Since some of the games are titled “all the words begin with the letter ...”, is it possible to add the function that when we are trying out the letters, once we get the right letter in the right square that it could be highlighted, like or does when we use the hint feature. Thank you for that hint feature, otherwise I might get old and gray figuring out the words!!!

It’s a fun game and I like that it has a free daily puzzle but it needs more puzzle packs. I’ve played and re-played them all so many times that it’s no longer any challenge. I guess I should be glad because I was a bit addicted to it but still, a new pack once in a while would be nice. As of May 2019, there hasn’t been a new puzzle pack in almost a year! But the daily puzzles are good. It’s how I start my day.

This is a great game if you like words. Rhyming, multiple definitions, categories, etc play a role in solving the puzzles. Often the biggest challenge is figuring out which of those things the clues have in common. There are plenty of hints available when you need them. My only wish is for more puzzle packs — I’m on the last one and may go through withdrawal if I only have one puzzle a day available.

So when is the next update/puzzle pack being released? Sure a few of the clues were obscure but compared to crossword puzzles in the newspapers, etc. these were few and far between. So, as I said before, when will there be new puzzle packs to buy?? The Daily Puzzle is fun but just a tease. Thank you!!! Great! I’ll watch for them! 😛

I’m a big fan of the 7 Little Words game. I play the daily puzzles and have purchased additional packs through that game. With Tiny Little Crossword, there is no daily puzzle. There’s also no shuffle feature for the letters. I found myself using the hint button more often than I would have liked to. I wish there was an option to simply click on a letter and then click on the spot I want it to be in instead of dragging. I enjoyed the first puzzle pack but I don’t feel like the other puzzles are worth purchasing. I’ll happily buy more 7LW packs in the future.

The game play is alright. The bite- sized puzzle are perfect for the mobile platform. But three words per puzzle is little too small. (especially if you’re asking $1 for just 50) I usually prefer minimalist design but this puzzle is too minimal. The design is boring. Especially compared to your other games which are bursting with personality. I appreciate the easy to read/ select tiles and the clever word play. Spice up design a bit and you’ve got great game. ps. Could you add a ‘nighttime’ mode.

Being a big fan of 7 Little Words and Monkey Wrench (I play every day), I was very disappointed with this game. I understand you want word games to be challenging but these puzzles are almost too difficult. I find I have to use the hint button on almost every single puzzle as the clues do not really help. Also, there is no letter shuffle option or free daily puzzle option like the others, so once you play the free games you have to pay (there is also no option to watch an add for a free puzzle). Hope this game gets improved to be more enjoyable because I love Blue Ox games!!

I've been playing 7 Little Words for years and wanted to give this app a try. I was disappointed almost immediately. Some puzzles are too easy, some are too hard, and not enough are just right. For the ones that are too hard, it's because the theme is too vague. Sometimes they fill in a letter to get you started, but when they didn't, I found myself using the hint feature several times. When I got to the puzzle "Things that are red" and saw nothing but empty squares, I uninstalled. Will stick with 7 Little Words.

Seems like a lot of people are not very happy since you got rid of the unlimited hints, me included! Your puzzle clues are so vague you have to get one word to understand where the puzzle is going, fo example, today’s clue is a finch, a fox and a gosling walk into a bar, really I have no clue. I am forced to skip many puzzles or use all my hints and stop playing. I have played this game for years and have enjoyed it but soon I will stop playing, I refuse to pay for hints. I play another game where you can earn hints by watching extra ads, I would keep playing if this was an option. Please add back the unlimited hints or lose a customer!
