Fans of word games can use their stylus and touch screen to take on more than 1,000 professionally designed crossword puzzles in Crosswords Plus. The puzzles are spread out across four difficulty levels, and special giant crossword puzzles provide an even greater challenge. The game also includes word search, anagram, and word-of-the-day puzzles, and a hint system lets gamers build up points for use when they need another clue, a missing letter, or the entire word. Additional free puzzles can be acquired from friends or online using the StreetPass and SpotPass functions.
