New York Times puzzles.

dgw51 · 12 years ago · v2.5.1

The app says I can play New York Times crosswords but then will not let me download them.

Great puzzles!

Nickman398 · 12 years ago

This is by far the best puzzle app. I love the creativity in the crossword puzzles

Best APP Ever!

Jackleroy · 12 years ago

For a puzzle person, this is great. The touch-write technology is perfect, especially when I use it on the phone. Lots of puzzles, crossword and more... Ive used this daily for many happy months. Thank-you. (Puzzles are brain-protein!)

Great puzzles, great interface

Toddwseattle · 12 years ago

Puzzazz is the most user friendly of the puzzle apps out there. They have puzzles by masters of the craft, including the New York Times. The UI is pleasant, in app purchases are reasonable.

Perfect for Crosswords

Crickwin · 12 years ago

This app allows special effects that are used in crossword puzzles like the Sunday NYT to be seen. Several noted crossword puzzle bloggers have mentioned this lack in the apps they use. Hopefully theyll find this one! Its great for many other types of word puzzles as well.

Confused!!!

5lorac3 · 12 years ago

Started out to be awesome great puzzles, but tried to play second game and it will not let me. It keeps closing to the point of frustration!!!

Excellent in every way

hightemp · 12 years ago

Hands down the best crossword puzzle app in the App Store. Great variety of puzzles AND access to the New York Times xwords. Really great! Also... Some of the best customer service around!
