Look at it this way: you can buy a book of 60 themed puzzles from the New York Times for about $10. Or you can buy this program, and get 1000 themed puzzles, constructed by the same people who construct the NYT puzzles, for $20. You can work these puzzles on the computer, or print them out and solve them the way you would a puzzle in the newspaper. The puzzles are about equal to the Wednesday/Thursday puzzles in difficulty. If you solve them on the computer, you can ask for hints - a letter or word at a time. Bottom line: great themed crossword puzzles for 2 cents a piece. You can't beat that.

This was game was not only fun, but it was also challenging!
I've played many hours and continue to try to conquer the many puzzles.
I was able to print the puzzles and bring them with me.
I recommend this over the other puzzle games out there.

This is just the right kind of stuff for old geezers to keep their brain cells from atrophying. I'm in my 81st year of life. Working crossword puzzles is part of my personal anti-Alzheimers project. The fact that I can get hard copies of the puzzles is also a plus.

Well, my title says it all--where else can you get 1000 high-quality puzzles for under twenty bucks??!! Interface is simple to use with Hint, etc. features. I printed a bunch of puzzles and stuffed them in my laptop case for plane rides--now if I could just manage to keep a pen in there too!! Puzzles are challenging but I can generally get every letter (sometimes all correct, sometimes a few errors). Excellent product for any crossword enthusiast!!

Like the game, too bad it is only for Mac OS classic. Would really like to see it on OS X.

An average version of crossword software. Nice for portability, but there are equally challenging games online.

It isn't quite what I expected. It is hard to see the letters and answers on the screen and it will not enlarge on the screen. There are a lot of tough ones. You can go across very easy but going down you have to click twice or more times to go down. The letters aren't very clear. It hard to tell a "Y from a "V". I do not recommend this product as fun. It highly priced for the enjoyment and relaxation you get from it.

Just an OK product. Would like to be able to use the Tab key to move around. Sometimes it won't accept the correct letter. Would like it to give the corresponding clue for the across or down function when you're in that grid, but instead you have to scroll up or down the lists. Would also like to it be availabe for a full screen view. Not worth the money as far as I'm concerned.
