Acrostic Crossword Puzzles Wiki

I love acrostic puzzles because the best of them set my brain on fire. This app, especially with v 2.2.1, lets me be fully immersed as I bounce seamlessly from clues to grid and back. I can see what’s important at each stage and enter or erase flawlessly. Egghead Games’ Acrostics is the best acrostic app I’ve ever used, and the range of puzzles goes from easy right up to the acrostaholic pinnacle. My favorite puzzles are the themed CynAcrostics, which I find comparable to the New York Times’ acrostics. (Later.) Actually, I now think her Volume 4, is best of all!

My Grandma introduced me to acrostic puzzles many years ago; we spent a lot of happy hours chasing down the right word trying to solve the quotations. I love this digital version that I can play anywhere, even while waiting in line at a drive-thru. The puzzles are enlightening as well as challenging, and help keep my old brain in decent functional order. In addition, the support for this app (from Egghead Games) is phenomenal! I’d rate it 10 stars if I could.

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!

I need more of the easy one block puzzles (like the kids packs but for adults. I don’t want to buy a set with mixed levels. One block of difficulty is what I need. Would be cool if there was a hint or check for errors button on the top lever. Highly recommend. Really love this game and all of their others. Hardest levels of their others are fine, but not for this one.

The app comes with 10 free puzzles from each of several publishers including one set in Spanish. Sets of 50 puzzles are available for roughly ten cents a puzzle. You end up revealing a (usually interesting) quote. If you like solving acrostics on paper you’ll love doing them at the keyboard. I should add that Michael provides excellent user support.

Great Acrostic app packed with included puzzles in varying degrees of difficulty. I use it all the time. It’s nice to have these puzzles right on the phone—a perfect time killer. If you need to purchase more puzzles they’re pretty reasonably priced. Customer service is quick and pleasant, but you shouldn’t really need it; the app works reliably.

I find that this app is a great way to do something crossword-like on my phone - I find acrostics to be a little annoying on paper due to double-entry and crosswords to be a pain on my device somehow. But work this it has a good dynamic quality and, if you get the right ones, challenging enough.

I love these. They have varying levels of difficulty, from moderately challenging through holy cow how does anyone know this?? It’s also very easy to get in touch with Customer Service when you have issues or suggestions. Two thumbs up!!

Absolutely wonderful, free crostics! Not too hard, not too easy, good features like "Hints" and "Erase Errors", works smoothly, easily, and without bugs, very large variety of quality puzzles, no hokey, kluged-together, forced word clues. Highly enjoyable!

Challenging game for those who like crossword and cryptogram puzzles! Once you complete the starter pack you have to purchase more puzzle packs to keep playing, but they’re not too expensive for what you get.

Good puzzles and interface. However, unlike nearly every other word puzzle, this one lacks the option to skip already filled spaces. Especially at the end, when filling in the last spots scattered through the quote, it's tedious to have to either re-type or to select each box individually. Please include this option and I'll buy puzzle packs and I'll give you five stars.

What a concept! This gets one of my VERY rare 5-star ratings. Four for the excellent puzzle format and the fifth for being straightforward about revenue. I will gladly pay for actual puzzles (a few bucks for 50 puzzles is a pretty good deal). I won’t have my day polluted by in-app ads EVER!

I love this app bc it makes my favorite kind of puzzles so much more accessible. However, I would really like to be able to delete or at least hide puzzles I do not wish to complete. Also, when I opened the app just now, the “library” was gone, and it looks like I have to do puzzles in the random order the app assigns instead of going in the order of the publishers I choose to do. I give three stars because this is now two updates where the interface has gotten less user friendly and more rigid. Please give an option to hide or delete unwanted puzzles, and/or let the user go by just the publishers and numerical order they want. Thank you

The latest update is an improvement, but why are the Puzzle Baron volumes listed randomly instead of sequentially—volume 1, volume 2, etc. It’s a pain looking for a particular puzzle. The arrangement you had before the latest updates was much more user friendly!
