Description
Created by British editors, Arrow Words is a classic crossword app with a useful twist. In arrow words puzzles, the clues are shown right in the puzzle grid, making them easy to view and play on the iPad screen.
This lovingly produced app includes 1200 all-new Arrow Words puzzles in 4 levels. Easier levels use simpler words and a smaller grid, perfect for a short break. Harder levels have tougher clues and larger puzzle grids for hours of challenging fun. Also, careful editing and a huge pool of words ensure that clues don’t repeat too often.
The sound and graphics are also designed for true crossword aficionados. Choose from three visual interfaces that recreate the atmosphere of the crossword in the Sunday paper. If you miss using your favorite pen to solve puzzels, you’ll love the optional sounds of a moving pen as you fill in the squares, custom recorded for each letter!
Features:
• Once you’ve solved an Arrow Words puzzle on the iPad, you’ll never go back to paper!
• 1200 puzzles, 4 difficulty levels and grid sizes
• 3 interface options: Classic, News, Colour
• Optional sound effects and background music
• iPod function support

Ratings and Reviews
Fair and enjoyable crossword puzzler. British English
This is the best crossword puzzler of the few that seemed worth trying on the App Store (I did buy a few others and they were ok but the clues and lack of enough overlapping words made simple answers sometimes hard to work out). I have been using it for some years on a few different iOS devices and it has received appropriate updates and remained reliable.
There are occasional clues or answers which are a bit British-centric, but not often enough to be a problem except on one of the 2 medium difficulty puzzle sizes.
My only complaint would be that you can’t adjust the crossword size to make it fit on the screen without having to drag the screen around on the larger more difficult puzzles. This is despite the iPad screen resolution being easily enough to still display everything clearly. Using an Apple Pencil would easily make even the largest puzzles usable despite being shrunk to fit the screen.
Fun app
I like all squares to be a word answer but still love it now that I am used to it
Good but has flaws
This is a good crossword with an easy and helpful design but has a few flaws. Some of the words are spelled incorrectly and a few of the clues too! For example. Capital city of New South Wales is not Sidney, it’s Sydney! The clues are too Euro centric too...too many references to lakes, towns and colloquial British and European places. Also I hate the pathetic clues likes like a sound of disgust: hoot or boo or tush...pathetic clues and answers. There’s no reason to include Hebrew,Greek and Latin words and letters either...all irrelevant information that only scholars would know. Apart from these faults, it’s great and I recommend it.
