Forks and Words
Comic crossword + minesweeper.
Free · Designed for iPad
Forks & Words is a fast, delightful mash-up of crossword and minesweeper. A cheerful forklift dashes through a jungle of crates—some hide letters, some hide booms. Your job: reveal every letter without running out of lives!
How it plays
Tap any cell; the forklift zips to that crate and reveals what’s inside.
Letters fill the crossword; empty cells are mines.
You start with 3 extra lives. Hit a mine? You’ll lose one and that crate becomes a burnt crate (no popup).
No lives left and you tap a mine? Boom—game over.
Cells where across & down words cross are revealed by default for a fair start.
