Customer Reviews
USA Today Crosswords
Maybe I am spoiled, I had been playing Crosswords DS(see my review) and thought that it was too easy. I was right and wrong. Right that it was easier to use and the puzzles are easier to solve. However wrong by buying this software because of the software problems in using this game.
The idea the you can focus on the clues like in Crosswords DS is not here in this software. on the possitive side, The puzzles are more of a challedge to solve. Nevertheless, it has a font is harder to write the answers in the block. There is not letting you know you have the right or wrong word, which is one factor Crosswords DS does. The hint factor of this software is not that great
It is playable, but you can not do the puzzles as fast as in Crosswords. One of the factors that is enjoyable is this has is a mini keyboard or writing the puzzle answers yourself. Another problem is the frames can not be expanded like on Crosswords DC, so everything is in a smaller font.
Maybe if the powers that be would incorporate between US Today crosswords and Crosswords DS on their next version , I think it would be a better game

Interface Almost Ruined the Game
Pros:
-You get the familiar crossword puzzles from USA Today. If you are a fan of that newspaper's puzzles, then that is the kind of questions and material you will get.
Cons:
-Interface is horrible. Definitely needs some improvement.
-The pad for handwriting recognition system is very small to write on.
-The QWERTY interface is also difficult to use. The font used are hard to recognize.
