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!

My games won't load sometimes. I click on an in-progress game and I just get a spinning circle. Sometimes watching my daily games ads will get things moving but more often than not, I have to keep closing and restarting. I think it might be the challenge items at the top making the game "get stuck". Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help either.

While I mostly like playing the game, it often cheats me out of the rewards that are promised. For instance it will say that I have like several hours to start 10 new games with friends, so I do as it says and after being "out" those 10 boards I do not get the reward promised. I tried going to the "help and support" link but it does not work. I am done spending money on this game! <<<<<>>>>> The Kryss support team has made the problem right and awarded me the reward as was due. THX!

The game itself is fun, but the amount of advertisements is absolutely insane. I spend more time waiting for 3+ unskippable advertisements to finnish after EVERY SINGLE ROUND, than I do playing the game itself. **Reply to dev** It is understandable, definitely, however when you spend more time waiting for advertisements to complete, than playing the game, then it starts to become a problem, atleast for me personally. Gamescore edited to 3*** As I do think the game itself is fun.

Hi Michael! Thank you for writing your review! I'm sorry that your gameplay has been affected by our advertisements. Sadly, our game requires these ads to keep running for free for our users. I hope this is understandable, and it would mean a lot to our team if you'd be willing to raise your rating, as it helps us improve with each day! 😄
