About this game
Acrostic puzzles combine crossword clues with a hidden quote to decode — part crossword, part cryptogram, all brain workout. Play offline with no ads or distractions.
Start with 50 quality puzzles from top publishers: Acrostica, Acrostics by Cyn, Lovatts, Penny Press, and Puzzle Baron. Your goal is to reveal a hidden quote in a grid by correctly answering crossword-style clues. Each letter in the quote links to a letter in a clue answer. As you fill in answers, more letters appear in the quote grid — and vice versa. Work both directions until the full quote is revealed.
DESIGNED FOR FAST, FOCUSED PLAY
No more erasing pencil and paper. Concentrate on solving clues with automatic grid updating, see related cells, multi-level Undo, remove errors, and hints. A wide range of difficulty levels for beginners and seasoned players alike.
MORE PUZZLES WHEN YOU'RE READY
50+ additional puzzle packs available for purchase. Pick your favorite publisher or try something different — hours and hours of puzzle fun.
If you love word games, crosswords, or cryptograms, acrostic puzzles are a satisfying way to exercise your brain offline.

If you complete the puzzle but there is an error - usually due a typo - you get a message that the puzzle is not solved correctly. That is fine. However, that message counts as a "hint" and cost you an trophy icon. Very very frustrating when I complete the puzzle without hints and I get penalized anyway. The message that is isn't correct doesn't point out where the error is, so not a hint. *Update* I figured out what happens is that the cells to enter in letters is so close to the lightbulb it is very easy to accidently hit the lightbulb hint. Frustrating but not a huge problem since you don't unlock anything or gain any benefit by not taking hints.

Hi, I'm sorry this is happening. I was not aware of it. Do you mind emailing support@eggheadgames.com with a screenshot of this? I'm having trouble reproducing it and would like to get it fixed :( I agree that it must be extremely frustrating!! Cheers, Michael

Edit: Bug was fixed very quickly and my purchases were still there. This really is my favorite game and the publishers handle the problems well. I used to love this app, but I had to uninstall it because it stopped working. I'm really annoyed that I bought a pack of puzzles and won't get to play them because the app keeps crashing.

We've fixed the app in version 3.2.11, available now. Please update and you should be good to go, and any previous purchases will be restored. Sorry about the problem. Fortunately we were able to fix it within 24 hours.

I had problems with the app (it wouldn't open) I cleared the app cache & it started working again. I love these puzzles! I've been doing these for years & had to give them up after 2 surgeries on my right hand (I can't write very long anymore) Penny press is my favorite thank you! Now that I can get them on my phone I can finally do them again. The price for the volumes is very reasonable. (Almost half the cost when ordered by mail). I hope you keep them coming I do lots of them!
