The Puzzle Wizard 1 app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Denise Sutherland
First release : 04 Feb 2015
App size: 8.15 Mb
The first ever collection of Puzzle Wizard crosswords in app form. 25 large crosswords, with original and entertaining clues.
Puzzle Wizard 1 is self-contained and works offline as well, so you can take these crosswords wherever you go.
The crosswords are entirely customisable. You can choose from different fonts and background papers, as well as grid, highlight, and font colours. Great if you have vision impairment; set up the grid exactly how you need it.
The grid and clue lists are interactive — tapping a clue or square calls up the standard system keyboard to enter the letters. You can continue to interact with the grid while the keyboard is active.
You can zoom in on the grid, filling the screen with a word, and then pinch to zoom out again — or let the app auto-zoom for you.
The app has an optional timer, and settings for revealing letters, and hints if youre really stuck (type ? and the app fills a letter in for you).
Uses standard Apple system keyboard or external bluetooth keyboard for text entry.
Requires iOS 7.0 or newer.
