What it does

Challenge your Game Center friends or random opponents to a turn-based match of Crosswords. Each new game randomly generates a puzzle from a database of thousands of clues, ensuring virtually unlimited game play. With each correctly answered clue, you gain a point for each letter in the clue, and subtract a point from your opponent for any of their intersecting answers. Penciling allows you to work on the board at any time, changing answers and adjusting your strategy as more words are completed. Plus, all penciled words are saved, even when the app is offline! For hard-to-guess clues, you can use a Peek to reveal a letter of your choice. (Only you can see the letter you peeked!)…from cross.ly
