Peplinski I have been having a GREAT time with this game - it has seemingly endless amounts of puzzles! The crossword puzzles recognize my handwriting a lot better than My Word Coach, solving is pretty easy and fun. So far I've only tried Easy and Medium settings, they're just barely hard enough to tickle your brain and very satisfying to try and beat your best puzzle-solving times. MUCH easier and less frustrating than the New York Times Crossword game. Word searches are a little harder, but fun too. Your eyes could go crazy staring at all those little letters after doing a few in a row but it's great to have the variety. The only reason I give it a 4-star instead of 5 is that the anagrams seem to want you to figure out EVERY SINGLE possibility before moving on. I'd prefer if you could try and beat your highest number of words each time, leave it a little more open-ended. Still, this isn't that big a deal - the challenge will just make me even more of a Boggle champion in the long run. I love the variety of having different sorts of puzzles available, and the fact that there are SO MANY to do makes this an amazingly great deal at only $20. I've been plugging away at it nearly every day for a week and have barely scratched the surface! If you like games like Brain Age and My Word Coach you'll really have fun with this. Now I just wish Nintendo would make a Sudoku game with this many puzzles for such a good price! 32 of 33 found the following review helpful: A great educational game for kids (and grown-ups too)  Jun 04, 2008 By Nuknuk (Updated to 4 stars) If you like "The New York Times" crossword puzzles, then you are over qualified. This game is not for you. But for the majority of the people, this is a very fun game! (By the way, there is a DS game called "The New York Times Crosswords" if that's what you prefer). There are thousands of puzzles different levels of difficulty. This is another brilliant game from Nintendo. Very educational. I bought it for my 7 year old and really loves it. It is amazing how it can recognize your handwriting whether it is uppercase, lowercase and even longhand. You can have 4 profiles so 4 people can play at different times. There are 3 games to choose from. Crossword puzzle, Word Search and Anagrams. 1) Crossword puzzle has to be the main game of the three. You can start on "easy" or "medium" level. It gets harder as you progress. If you get stuck, there are hints or you can request a letter to fill in a box. Depending how you set the options. 2) Word search is a little tiny for the eyes but no less as fun. 3) Anagram is like an electronic "Boggle" game. You have to write as many words you can on a given set of letters. There seems to be something missing here. The only way you can finish this game is to find all the possible words. No hints like the one on crossword puzzle. So, it is likely that you get stuck because somehow there is always a word or 2 that you do not know or can not remember. The game is played with a the stylus and DS on its side, like a little book. Left-handed option is available. 25 of 25 found the following review helpful: It's decent, a worthwhile buy  May 10, 2008 By a buyer of stuff I just got this game a day ago so I will limit my review to areas that I have played. The game is played with the DS lite held vertical (think Brain Age) It works nicely for this game too. The graphics a very nice and easy to look at ... Bright but not overly colorful. The music in the game is nothing special and quite repetitive. I think you would end up turning off anyhow since this is a word game. Now onto actual game play... The game has 3 sections Anagrams, Word Search and Crosswords. The game allows you to have 4 or 5 profiles so it works great for a household of players. The crosswords section looks pretty extensive.Many puzzles are open straight away with plenty more waiting to be unlocked.I have only gone through 20 of the easy puzzles and they are quite easy. I would say on the level of the EASY and Fun crossword magazines you can purchase at candy stores.They are also quite small. I have solved most in under 5:00 minutes. There is a timer and hints available to you. However using hints cost some penalties As each puzzles is solved it's stamped completed. You can do them over if you desire but it erases your previous solve. The grid layouts vary and the controls work nicely. You can zoom in a write your answer in the box. If you have written the correct letter it shows up black if you have written the wrong letter it shows up red ! You can erase a wrong answer with a tap of the eraser or simply write over your previous answer. Hand writing recognition is EXCELLENT on this game and pretty quick too ! My minor quibble is hard to explain but I will try.... When you are are filling in a "down" answer , after you write it in it jumps to the box to the right ... you then have to tap the box that you actually wanted... minor and takes seconds and perhaps it's me (only had game a day) but I want to mention it anyway. The crossword section is nice for quickie games and relaxation... I have not done the harder puzzles so perhaps they get larger and more detailed later. I explored the Anagram and Word Section very lightly.The Anagram section allows you to pick your word length. My first quibble with the Anagram section lies in the fact that when you save a game , the next time you go to the Anagram section it tells you it has found a saved game. If you don't want to play that saved game it erases it. My second quibble is that when you select "give Up" it gives you no score or credit for that game regardless if there was only one word left to discover. The Word Search section is basic and predictable. In closing I recommend this game. It's pretty easy and relaxing and great for short bursts of time. Quite addicting too. I like that the Crosswords are not too hard...That might put off some buyers . However,I think there will be many more that will enjoy the simpler puzzles. 12 of 13 found the following review helpful: Great for beginners like me!  Jun 02, 2008 By SharkLady Okay, I admit it; I typically am awful at crossword puzzles. BUT, I was interested in trying and listened to the reviewers who stated this was a good way to build up your talent, and it is! You can start as a beginner with small puzzles and work your way up to larger puzzles, great fun! There are 3 games: Crosswords: Again, you can start with a small (4x4) puzzle and work your way up to larger puzzles. The smaller puzzles are fairly easy and you begin to familiarize yourself with how it works and how to get these things figured out. There is Easy and Medium, and you have to unlock modes above those two after frequent play. Wordsearch: You are given a list of words and have to find them. Very classic, and very fun. Again, you're given easy or medium mode and have to unlock higher. Anagrams: For those who like text twist on Yahoo! games, you'll love this. You're given 6 letters and have to create as many words as you can. You have to have over 50% of them before you can move on. More challenging then you would think! Overall, a very fun game, and you can find yourself playing for just one puzzle or for hours on end. 5 of 5 found the following review helpful: I am up and down about CROSSWORDS  Sep 09, 2008 By Bennet Pomerantz "Bennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD" I like this DS Program. However there are a few drawbacks. There are plenty of crosswords, word searches and anagrams...but when writting the letters, sometimes an N is mistaken for an H..or a G for a Q. If that is the only problem I ever have, it would not stop my enjoyment of this program..and It hasn't. I just hate erasing a letter when I wrote the letter in correctly the first time. So why only Four stars instead of five, This crossword is a DS game, but not really a fast fingered video game. I hate hidden levels on any game. There are levels hidden in this CROSSWORDS program and it annoys me. I enjoy that i can do crosswords, but wonder in a newer version if they allow me to skip to a harder level instead of easy and medium and work my way to harder more taxing puzzles. Also after you done a number of these medium and easy puzzles, the clues repeat themselves too many times. This DS program is great for children and adults alike. If you haven't used your mind lately (I use Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day! for my daily brain trainning), this program is a godsend.
