Tiny Little Crosswords

Like this twist on mini cross words. This is a great app because you can complete the puzzles in a minute or to...when you have just a bit of time But don’t want to have to commit to a large puzzle. It is Challenging as you have to think out of the box so you are not fooled by the titles. I don’t like the sports offerings because I do not follow sports so expecting a person to know the names of specific players is not conducive to encouraging a person to buy more of the packs. THANK YOU for LIMITLESS HINTS. And the LACK of annoying ADS Between every puzzle. ( I personally have deleted several apps because of excessive ads between EVERY turn or have to spend ridiculous amounts for enough hints to keep the ads away.) I hope you will try this app as I think it is great.

I’m truly enjoying this little crossword game! I’m wondering if the hints are unlimited, or at some point will I have to purchase them? I didn’t read anything about this. Also, it would be nice to be able to shuffle the letters. Otherwise, a great way to relax and exercise your brain cells! Once again, I’d like to add that it would be helpful to be able to shuffle the letters. Also, I’m not a fan of dragging letters. Perhaps you could allow a word, whether across or down, to be highlighted once the player chooses it, and then allow the player to tap a letter to automatically populate a space. Dragging letters is a ‘drag’! Otherwise, a clever little game. And thanks for adding the daily free puzzle!

Even though they prefer you to buy your packs they used to give you one free puzzle a day, now however every time you try to open the daily puzzle the app crashes. It will of course let you purchase more packs but it will no longer load the daily puzzles, even after updating the app. I really did like Blue Ox offerings but this is definitely not on that list anymore. Obviously I was upset but they fixed the issue and I'm back in love with this game and Blue Ox - call me fickle but that's my opinion. Give it a try and I think you'll agree....

EDIT: Blue Ox added free daily puzzles, so my concerns below have been addressed. Upped my rating from 3 to 4 stars. I’ve enjoyed the other Blue Ox titles: Red Herring, 7 Little Words and Monkey Wrench. They’re not particularly challenging but their daily free puzzles are a nice 5-minute distraction. Tiny Little Crosswords has 56 free puzzles to start. These were quite fun, and some even had above-average difficulty. After those however, a $0.99 in-app purchase is required for each of several sets of 50 more puzzles. I guess the “1 free puzzle daily” is no longer the model they wish to support. That’s fine I suppose, but I finished the free content in a short time and have no intention of buying any packs, so I guess I might as well delete. I’d probably watch a video ad to get a free puzzle (an addition they’ve made to other apps), but that option isn’t available here. Just a bit of a disappointment after my enjoyment of previous Blue Ox games.

I have to say, this is one of the best tiny little games on the App Store. The sense of humor is absolutely charming. The puzzles are genuinely clever, and I feel like I’ve met someone I really like at the other end of solving them. There are a lot of good things about them, including that they are so easy to pick up and put down again, and that the command of English on the part of the puzzle maker’s is excellent. But the best thing is really the character that shows through. Great game, well done!
