About Crossword: Arrowword Puzzles
Crossword: Arrowword Puzzles puts a fresh spin on classic arrowword crosswords: instead of typing answers, you draw letters from a magic box and drag them onto the grid. Match letters to clues, sharpen your vocabulary, and work through 100 levels that grow progressively more complex. No timers, no rush — a calm brain-training puzzle built for anyone who loves pen-and-paper crosswords and word search puzzles, now in a comfortable phone format. The game also works offline, so a flight or a road trip is fair game.

FAQ
What exactly is the goal in each level?
Choose the right letters from the available set and place them in the correct cells to solve every word in the crossword. The puzzle draws on erudition, associative thinking, and logic, and covers a wide range of knowledge areas.
How does difficulty progress across the 100 levels?
The word mazes grow more complex as you advance, the questions become more spontaneous and wide-ranging, and the knowledge areas from which answers must be drawn expand steadily.
How do coins and lights work?
Coins are earned by guessing words, completing levels, and through rewards; they can be spent on hints (exact letter or help arranging available letters). Lights are obtained by completing levels, and collecting enough lights during the current competition earns prizes.
How do the leaderboards work?
Leaderboards are based on in-game statistics, which can be viewed in a dedicated section on the main page of the game.
What do achievements track?
Achievements are rewards tied to completing specific tasks throughout the game. The Daily Bonus separately rewards consecutive login streaks.
