Letter-based puzzles (10 letters). Dual screen, abbr. (2 letters).
Today’s launch of Crosswords DS for the
portable Nintendo DS™
video game system puts more than 1,000 crossword puzzles into the palm
of your hand. Crosswords DS includes puzzles at multiple skill
levels, so anyone from beginners to experts can give it a try. As you
progress, the puzzles get bigger and more challenging. Because you write
all your answers directly on the touch screen with your stylus, there’s
no need for erasers – just write your new
answer over your old one. Crosswords DS also includes a
sophisticated hint system if you get stuck. Just tap the Hint button
with your stylus and choose to receive another clue, reveal a hidden
letter or solve the whole word.
“Crosswords DS brings crossword puzzles
into the 21st century in a way that’s
accessible to everyone,” said Cammie Dunaway,
Nintendo of America’s executive vice president
of Sales & Marketing. “And because
Nintendo DS is so light and portable, you can play it anywhere at any
time.”
Crossword puzzles aren’t the only classic
word games found in Crosswords DS. There are also more than 200
Wordsearch puzzles that let you hunt for hidden words amid a jumble of
letters. For more word fun, you can turn to Anagrams and construct
almost endless combinations of words from a handful of letters.
Crosswords DS, with its quick and accessible word challenges, is
the latest in the Touch Generations line of Nintendo DS games. Previous
games include Brain Age®:
Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day, Brain Age®
2: More Training in Minutes a Day and Flash Focus™:
Vision Training in Minutes a Day.
