Astraware Acrostic
- solve the clues to reveal the words and find the vertical target word that connects through them all!
Perfect if you love Crosswords but like something a bit quicker that you can fit into a shorter break and still finish a puzzle!
There are 50 built-in free puzzles with a range of difficulties and sizes, so you can play offline at any time.
You get free unlimited access to play two new Daily Acrostic puzzles each day, and compete on the global leaderboard and see your own performance! For an extra challenge there's a free Weekender puzzle available each week with a larger puzzle and trickier clues.
The unique twist on this game are some novel features to boost your progress
- highlighting in puzzle shows you where vowels and consonants appear, and each time you get one of the horizontal words, the target letter is revealed throughout the puzzle! Still need a bit of a hint? (Everyone does, from time to time!)
- ask for a hint for a small time cost and our bookend-hints give you the first and last letters of the word which we've found are a huge help!

Initially didn't work, but they quickly fixed the problem. It was worth the wait! Challenging, and the graphics are AWESOME!!!!
I enjoy the Acrostic Puzzle, it really makes me think and is a lot of fun to play!
Small is beautiful. It relaxes and rejuvinates me. I play it regularly.
Excellent way to keep the vocabulary and mind sharp

tasks thebrain, great game.
Really love this game, but before I renew my subscription, will there be new puzzle packs. Not 2017 as per last three years.
Game won't load properly
After an update towards the end of August 2019 all my stamps had gone, I had a four figure amount. I emailed the developers saying I wasn't happy about that and very promptly received an email saying that they would give me back some stamps. Very efficient and professional, thank you!
love it :)
I really like it. Some of the clues are bit off though. Overall it's very entertaining.
Not what I expected. I love crossword puzzles but this wasn't for me.
As a low level puzzle solver, I appreciate the generous amounts of help available.
Love it!
Fun, a worthy member of the Astraware word game family
Fun and challenging
Enjoyable little diversion. I think the 30 secs penalty is a bit excessive for the hints. The ads after submitting your score and trying to move on were off-putting. My workaround is to close the game after submiting my score and reopen. Not stuck on an ad screen no mo'.
Great time passer & fun. The ads are a constant annoyance
A different kind of word puzzle. Part of my daily brain work out.
Addictive! Great game, makes you use your brain. I love playing it every day.
Always a nice break in the day... Great way to get your mind going.
Love this game but hate the ads
Excellent game, makes you really have to think!
Great game! Lots of fun
Another type of word game i hadn't played until i got the Astroware app. I play it every day now!
I like to play crossword games sometimes and this one is one of the best.The clues are not too hard.The unlimited hints are useful if you get stuck and getting extra help from the letters of the down clue makes this a game worth playing.However,there needs to be more free puzzles.I'm nearly finished with all the available ones.
I really quite enjoy playing this, however it had a tendency to lag. I've even tried putting all my other apps to sleep and it still lags. Also I don't understand why on the scoreboard a random person's name is highlighted in yellow, it seems unnecessary. Other than that I really enjoy it.
