Puzzles often exercise both sides of your brain at once, using your logical left brain and creative right brain to problem solve. Not only does theming something make it more engaging, but it also makes information easier to take in. When concentrating on a themed crossword puzzle or arrow word, children will be focused on the answers and building a world in their heads. Not only does this help them build their imagination, but it can also help them with other skills: The difference between a crossword and an arrowword is that, with an arrowword, the clues appear inside the grid rather than outside it. An arrow points in the direction of the answer, which is always placed either horizontally or vertically depending on how the arrow points. For obvious reasons therefore, this crossword variant is called arrow words. Can also generate grids using the more traditional British style grid. In addition there are Compact style grids, an unusual but very useful format, especially for small screens

Intuitive controls and comprehensive settings make solving the crosswords a pleasure. Puzzles can be enlarged to ensure a comfortable game experience even on small screens.
