About this game

Kryss is the new, highly addictive game that lets two players test each other's imagination and vocabulary.

The turn-based game is developed from the idea of transforming the traditional crossword solution - old school Scandinavian style - into a game where you compete against each other in the same crossword puzzle.

You receive five letters each turn, then strive to place the letters in the crossword within a minute. There are several ways of outscoring your opponent, including a significant bonuses for completing words, for getting key letters right or for using all your five letters within a round.

Then again: it might just pay off to keep one of the crucial letters for later use – when the stakes are higher.

Kryss has the element of randomly awarded letters in common with other classic word games.

But Kryss is faster, and it offers a logic and gaming experience which makes it feel like no other passtime you ever engaged in. It is pure yoga for the brain, meditation for the mind, and vocabulary training in a game.

And with the chat function you can keep in touch with your favorite aunt at the same time as teasing your best friend for being the slowest player in the known Universe.

By sending challenges to your friends via social media, email or text messages you will get both more people to compete with and in-game bonuses that lets you enjoy Kryss even more!

I play this game everyday for 5 years now and I like it a lot. As a non native English speaker, it allows me to learn new terms and expand my vocabulary. Opponants are nice and for example I play with the same one for them for 4 years now! I only wish they create more new grids including UK English, not only American English. Thank you very much for providing fun for free and keep it up!

This game can be TOTAL BS!! Absolute Trash - I have lost so many tiles and games because of glitches. 1- ADDS - some are VERY VERY long. By the time they are over, oh look "I lose game"... WTH! Second, if the timer runs out, the tiles on board "count" for whatever score you end with. This does not always happen - I have LOST at LEAST 5-10 games because the tiles on the board did NOT count (usually final round where you get most points). This has been happening a LOT in the past 2 weeks.

Too many ads, even the "remove ads" pop up won't close, or take 10-20 tries to close the d@mn thing! I've had ads during my turn and even while on the home screen. Buying board to even be able to play??? Why? I'm so incredibly frustrated by this app. Happy to review my rating when these major deign flaws are addressed.
