I got this as a lark when I got my kids their DS system. I figured since I was shelling out all this money for them, I might as well get myself something. This has turned out to be the best Christmas present I have gotten myself in several years.

The interface is very intuitive. You can zoom or shrink the size of the puzzle to four different sizes, so you will be able to find the size that you like best, or switch around between a few as you complete the puzzle. You are timed as you complete the puzzle, so I am always trying to get a record time on the Monday puzzles, etc.

There are also hints, so if you are stumped, you can ask for a letter. When you're all done, (or the boxes are all filled) the puzzle will circle any incorrect answers and let you fill them in correctly. You are penalized with additional time added to your "score" if you use the hints.

The puzzles themselves are the same ones as the ones in the paper, so they are organized by difficulty according to the day. I think there are about a thousand puzzles in the game, so this will last awhile...

If you complete a whole week of puzzles (Monday through Sunday) you will unlock a super bonus puzzle - an extra big sunday sized (or bigger) puzzle. That is fun!

I have had to make some minor adjustments to how I write in the letters - for some reason if I start a capital g from the inside and go out (clockwise) it will recognize it as an o no matter how many times I re-do it. But if I start on the outside and go counter-clockwise it will recognize it with no trouble, even though the end result is identical. Kind of weird. It will recognize both capital and lower case letters, and it suggests that it will "learn" to recognize capital letters the more you use them. Maybe. All I know is that I cannot get it to recognize a capital H unless I make two vertical lines and just barely cross the second one. But this isn't really an issue, as it will recognize a lower case one almost no matter how messily you write it. It's just fun to mess around with stuff like this - seriously, it's not a negative in the least.

I really can't recommend this highly enough. It's so cool that I would buy a DS and this game just to do crosswords. Now I have to fight my kids for one of the DS's unless it's after bedtime (we have two DS's and four kids), so I just might do it anyway...

Perfect for NYT crosswords junkies

This game comes with three years' worth, plus bonus crosswords (which are the best). As wonderful as it was to be able to do crosswords on such a portable device, and to erase at will, after playing a number of them I realized that I was physically uncomfortable, and preferred pen and paper after all. Not the fault of the game, just the overall electronic experience.
Pros: The interface is well done, uses DS screens and stylus to advantage.
Handwriting recognition generally excellent, you can zoom in/out, save your games, get hints (impossible with paper copies)
Cons: you can only save a limited number of games, which is limiting for someone like me who likes to work on several puzzles at once. Recognition tends to confuse the letters 'I' and 'L' and can seem slow if you're on the timer and waiting to enter the next letter.

the newspaper New York Times crossword puzzle is easiest on Monday and gets harder during the week....by the time Friday rolls around, it is almost impossible(for me anyway)...
Well, on this DS, you can set it for only MONDAYS!!!!!!! How great is that!
This is my favorite DS game.
The other DS game I like is CROSSWORds ....I never actually play the crosswords on that one, but I love the Anagrams on it and occasionally the Wordsearch.
I never could understand why anyone would want to do those wordsearches, especially when they give you the answers! But it is really hard.I have a new appreciation of that game.
I am a female in my late 60's and these are the 2 games that I carry with me on any trip.
Nintendo DS is not just for kids!
* ALSO....when using this around my preschool grandkids, they love to "write" the letter in the square. I have to tell them what letter to write and they write it in with the stylus. Kinda educational for the kids also, in that way.

Better than CrossworDS in so many ways

Reviewed in Canada on December 1, 2009

I bought CrossworDS a while back so I could do crosswords on the commute into work without the hassle of a large news paper and pencil. It was major let down, some how trying to figure out 4x4 grid puzzles with such difficult words as "cats" or "book" was just not doing it for me. I ordered the New York Time puzzles hoping for more of a challenge and was not disappointed. The puzzles and clues are much more challenging and the input method for the letters in my opinion is an improvement. Features such as a keyboard (which eases the input of letters on a bumpy bus ride) and zooming in and out on the grid so you can see the whole puzzle and navigate are a huge bonus. The one thing I could complain about is the color schemes for the puzzles, sometimes they make the puzzles hard to read and are generally not pleasant to look at. All in all good fun for a crossword enthusiast, if you can find a copy that is.
