Crypto-Families Round

This crypto game isn’t as challenging as some, but that makes it great for taking with you on a device in public. You don’t have to deeply concentrate in crowded or noisy places. I like how if you get a letter wrong, you can suggest another one immediately, and if you get it right, it jumps you to the next available blank space. And if you get totally stumped, such as on the very first letter, you can ask for a hint. It is a great, user friendly basic game.

Wonderfully relaxing game, with just enough challenge to make me think and guess. I just wish there was more than 6 levels. I better slow down on it so I don’t go through them all too quickly- only had the game for a few days and am already on level 4 (each level has 8 puzzles).

I had previously searched for something similar to the CryptoFamilies in the puzzle books and there was no app, but I looked again and happily found this one! I like that you can guess letters if it’s a category you’re unfamiliar with. I just downloaded yesterday and seem to almost be done with it, hopefully more puzzles will be added and my review will be 5 stars! Just being picky, I wish there were at least a few more words per category.

Thanks for the stream of updates, Norman. I love this app. ———- Nice update! I really like being able to launch the other Round apps now. -------- Of all the variety-style games I play, these puzzles are perhaps my favorites. I grew up calling them "category" puzzles—"hey, save me the category puzzle!"—but whatever they're called, they're a different kind of challenge and you even up learning something sometimes, like if you're doing a puzzle about painting and you know nothing about painting, but you know a few of the terms and that helps you to get the others. Fun stuff. Black Labs makes solid games (what's that dog's name?) and this one continues that tradition.

Super fun! It’s a great way to entertain my mind. The ONLY thing I wish this did is allow me to reset the puzzles. I’ve bought a couple of packs. Now that I’m done with them, I’d like to restart them. I have 21 rounds and it keeps going straight to the end. It’s hard to remember which round/puzzle I’m on. Other than that, though, I love it!
