Publisher Description
Welcome to the world of acrostics! An acrostic, also called a crostic or double crostic, is a cousin of crossword puzzles, with clues and answers whose letters are rearranged to form a quote from a famous (or not-so-famous) author. If you're familiar with acrostics, you will quickly see how convenient they are on the iPhone, because letters are automatically copied to the correct place as you type them in.
Crostix is a free version of our Crostix Pro application, containing sample puzzles from our library. Try them out, and if you like them, get the full version, with 150 puzzles, from easy to fiendishly hard, or just buy more in Crostix using in-app purchase.
The program has all the features you'd expect:
- get hints for a single letter or an entire word,
- see your score, based on how many hints you needed,
- change the font size by pinching,
- rotate the device as you like, and
- get help on all program options.
If you're new to the world of acrostics, the application also includes a short description to get you started.
Version History Support for dark mode. 4.2 Sep 4 Crostix has been completely rewritten for modern iPhones and iPads. This is the former Crostix Free app, renamed in accordance with Apple's new guidelines. 4.1 Aug 29 Three new books! Crostix Books 12 and 13, and a second book of Larry Katzman's Gaglines puzzles. Updated for iOS 10. Unfortunately, that also means you will need at least iOS 8 to run this new version. Our apologies to those using older devices.
But most importantly, we hope that this new version fixes the evil and long-standing bug which caused the app to be stuck in "Waiting for Data" mode for new books. Let us know if you still have problems with this; fixing it is our number one priority. 3.3 12/17/2016 Fixed bug which caused the puzzle not to be saved unless you left the puzzle screen before leaving the app. 3.2 04/09/2015 Fixed a disastrous bug that I introduced in the most recent release which cause the screen to get garbled if the app was started in landscape mode. Very sorry about that! 3.1 04/05/2015 New puzzles: Books Ten and Eleven by Sharon (along with some special puzzle books to bribe you to help spread the word), a book of puzzles by new author Joe Lex, and a book of puzzles in Spanish! The program has also been updated for the latest Apple devices. 3.0 03/28/2015 Two new books, Crostix 8 and 9, with more of Sharon's puzzles. The library menu has also been improved to show your progress for each book. A few puzzle typo fixes. 2.7 06/05/2014 Two new books! For regular mortals: GagLines, a book of acrostic puzzles where the quote is the caption of a cartoon. And for those seeking the ultimate challenge: Elementary, My Dear Watson, fiendishly hard themed acrostics taken from the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. 2.6 01/12/2014 Facebook integration: Now you can Like individual puzzles, and post to your timeline when you complete a puzzle book.
We have added a second puzzle book by Gordon Frakes.
The app sports a new look for iOS 7. 2.5 09/30/2013 New book of puzzles: The Golden Treasury of Poetry. Fixed problem with earlier puzzle. 2.4 07/17/2013 A new book: HeadLines. The HeadLines puzzles are similar to regular acrostics, but instead of the author and title in the first column of the answers, your extra clue is that the quote is a fictional headline from a given year. How well can you remember your history? 2.3 03/04/2013 Crostix Book Seven now available -- 25 more of our puzzles at all levels. Upgraded for iPhone 5. 2.2 10/27/2012 Now available: Aerocrostics, for aviation buffs only! If you're not into aviation history, these new puzzles aren't for you. But if you think your knowledge of planes, their makers and their pilots is ready for the challenge, put it to the test!
Also, fixed a bug which interfered with the on-screen keyboard on devices running iOS 4.1 or 4.2. 2.1 06/05/2012 Most important: Added Book Six, with 25 new puzzles! Updated to higher-resolution graphics for the new iPad. In response to a customer request, the iPad on-screen keyboard is slightly smaller, leaving more room for the puzzle. 2.0 04/28/2012 Fixed bug causing kooky autorotation on some devices. 1.9 12/20/2011 You can now use in-app purchase to buy more puzzles in the free version. 1.7 12/08/2011 Compatible with iOS 4. 1.4 12/02/2010 Now iPad-compatible. 1.2 04/22/2010 Now compatible with iPhone OS 3.0 1.1 07/03/2009 1.0 06/03/2009
