Crossword Twist is a nice word game that offers three different puzzle variants to play. One of them is Fill-in crosswords, in which you have to move each word to the correct location in the crossword. Another variant is Jigsaw crosswords, in which you must drag the jigsaw pieces into the puzzle, so that it reveals the correct crossword puzzle. The other variant is Cipher crosswords, in which each letter of the words is replaced by a number, so you must decipher which letters are the numbers. This is the hardest one, so I suggest you start with the other two modes first.
The three modes are timed and they offer hints in case you get stuck. There are an undo option and a check option, so you know if you are going in the right or wrong direction. For every mode, you have different levels to choose from and all the games can be saved, so you can continue them later. The trial version will allow you to play all the modes and all the levels, but the registered version includes even more. The game features very attractive graphics, nice sounds, and pleasant music.
In short, if you are looking for an original and enjoyable word game, Crossword Twist can be a nice choice.
