Quickie Review: Crossword Light

I have to say something before I begin this review. I am terrible at crossword puzzles. There. Now that's out in the open, I can proceed with my review of the free app, Cross Light, which brings the thrill of pen to paper crossword working to your iPhone.

Even though crossword puzzles are difficult for me, I still enjoy doing them. That's why when I saw Cross Light in the App Store, I had to download it. It's free price tag helped, too.

So once I had this app loaded up on my iPhone, I started to play. And let me just say, the puzzles are not for the crossword puzzle novice (or dunce, like me). The clues are challenging. But I think what's most impressive about this game is the functionality.

You get thirty puzzles with the free version of the game, plus each game offers hints for each clue. You can set the game to show you when you've entered in a wrong answer or wait to be surprised at the end. My only complaint? The hints are really just the answers.

The game also makes use of the accelerometer and provides both vertical and widescreen viewing options. All in all, Cross Light is quite comprehensive and really offers up a lot, especially for a free teaser app.
