Crossword fans will love this program! There are over 1200 new puzzles here, rated E - Everyone. You can play the puzzles onscreen or print out, grab a pencil and get solving. Since the puzzles range from Easy to Hard, there's something here for a good range of skill levels.

Features:

  • Play online against or with a friend to solve.
  • Computer can solve a word, letter or the whole puzzle.
  • The mistake alert option lets you know if you make an error.
  • Play without the CD-ROM
  • Play against the clock, customize background, music, characters.

    Technical Aspects:

    We had no problems with installation or during runtime on a PowerBook G3 500Mhz processor with 128M RAM. Once installation is complete, the CD-ROM does not need to be inserted to access and play the puzzles.

    Report and Conclusions:

    Dell Magazines Crosswords is a must-have for any crossword puzzlers out there. In fact, this may be a title the entire family will enjoy. The interface is very clear and simple to use and being able to set the skill level makes it even more interesting. Happy solving!
