█ Crossword Solver is a great tool for solving the most difficult crosswords. Its also great for creating words in Scrabble™ and other boardgames.

Now Available in HD for the iPad and iPhone 4.

The crossword solver database contains over 270,000 words from both American and traditional English. You can search for individual missing letters or for multiple missing letters.

To start a search simply click the box marked "Enter word pattern..." and a keyboard will popup.

To search for individual missing letters use the full stop "." symbol. For example typing D.G then hitting RETURN will find every 3 letter word from DAG to DUG.

To search for multiple missing letters use the at "@" symbol. For example typing D@G then hitting RETURN will find every word from DABBING to DYNAMITING. You can scroll through and view them all.

You can also use a combination of the two. Typing .Z@T. will find words such as AZYGOBRANCHIATA (A technical medical term.)

The full stop "." and at "@" are both right there on your keyboard. The search results also appear on the same screen. This keeps the number of clicks you need to a minimum.

By using the at "@" style multiple letter search you could return a large number of words. Due to the memory limitations of mobile devices Ive restricted the returned results to 1,000 words. If you are returning a large number you may want to change you search pattern to something more specific.

Crossword Solver is a stand alone product with no need to connect to the internet.

Crossword Solver is very quick and easy to use. Youll be hitting those triple word scores in no time.

Pros and cons of A Crossword Solver app for iPhone and iPad

A Crossword Solver app good for

Anyone who rated this poorly obviously didnt know what they were buying. This is the perfect app for finding answers to crosswords and other word games. I bought one of the other similar apps but it was clumsy. It needed lots of extra clicks to find the results. This needs by far the least amount of typing to get your answers and has a huge word list.
Does a good job. Extensive dictionary is used to find matches.
I always look at clues that I do know so this helps me find words to clues I dont know with letter or two that r there from clues written down that I did know. Gives u words within the letters u type in and I just look up some of the words and I always find the rt one
Very useful tool. Has helped me to solve tricky puzzle answers. Does not replace a crossword puzzle dictionary, but is a very useful tool.
Simple to use, excellent vocabulary. Indispensable for cryptic crosswords.
Helped me finish financial times crossword. With both American and english words, great help for cryptic crosswords too

Some bad moments

I was hoping I would able to type in some clues and get help in solving. But with this app you can only solve it if you at least know some of letters already. I guess its ok for that. But would be nice if it would have a thesarus or clue help too.
Nice idea, but it doesnt give definitions. This renders the app almost useless when trying to apply it to a puzzle. I know those letters would fit, but how do I know its the correct word, unless I already know the answer?!!
