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!

Fun! 3 free games a day. sometimes the pictures are a little confusing but still fun... updated: I get 5 free games a day with ad watching. It's still fun but the computer cheats. further update: cheats A LOT. After years playing this I can get the same word, and get way less points. Still, nice game to play before bed, and you don't need money to play, which is rare with games!

I'm lowering my score until you fix this issue. I've been playing this game for years and it's one of my top games. I even subscribed to it last year. however, I don't understand how I have games that only have one day left when I literally finished all the games last night. I don't know what type of day yours consists of, but mine is 24 hours. that means you gave me about 12 hours before you went from 3 days to one. when this is fixed I'll put it back up to five stars

I love this game. My only gripe is the placement of the check mark (end turn) button in the bottom right corner. I hope in a future update that the button could be moved to the top of the screen out of the way of an accidental touch while typing, which ends the turn prematurely.

Hi Oso, thank you for your review! We are glad that you're enjoying Kryss! Regarding the end-turn button, we are looking into alternative locations for this button, and hope to make this improvement in an update soon! Best regards from the Kryss team!
