"Crossword meets cryptogram — solve clues to reveal a hidden quote!"

About this app

Acrostic puzzles combine crossword clues with a hidden quote to decode — part crossword, part cryptogram, all brain workout. Play offline with no ads or distractions.

Start with 50 quality puzzles from top publishers: Acrostica, Acrostics by Cyn, Lovatts, Penny Press, and Puzzle Baron. Your goal is to reveal a hidden quote in a grid by correctly answering crossword-style clues. Each letter in the quote links to a letter in a clue answer. As you fill in answers, more letters appear in the quote grid — and vice versa. Work both directions until the full quote is revealed.

DESIGNED FOR FAST, FOCUSED PLAY
No more erasing pencil and paper. Concentrate on solving clues with automatic grid updating, see related cells, multi-level Undo, remove errors, and hints. A wide range of difficulty levels for beginners and seasoned players alike.

MORE PUZZLES WHEN YOU'RE READY
50+ additional puzzle packs available for purchase. Pick your favorite publisher or try something different — hours and hours of puzzle fun.

If you love word games, crosswords, or cryptograms, acrostic puzzles are a satisfying way to exercise your brain offline.

Ruined a good game by adding greedy in-app purchases.

A wide range of third-party acrostic puzzles in a framework that works well, even on a small phone screen. The developers are very responsive to bug reports and user suggestions. (I no longer beg them to include the NYT acrostic since the Times discontinued the online option.)

Nicely done. Nice mixture of hard and easy puzzles, interface is aptly functional without being intrusive or annoying.

Edit: Bug was fixed very quickly and my purchases were still there. This really is my favorite game and the publishers handle the problems well. I used to love this app, but I had to uninstall it because it stopped working. I'm really annoyed that I bought a pack of puzzles and won't get to play them because the app keeps crashing.
