Crossword Solver +

"Crossword Solver" helps find the solutions for crosswords and other similar games. The application uses the letters you already know to find a list of possible answers.It has many advantages compared to similar applications:
1) Contains many thousands of Proper Nouns, including full names, professions, nationality, date of birth and death for about 65,000 famous people & deities and around 24,000 places, i.e. countries, cities, rivers, mountains etc. It also knows the names and dates of 65,000 popular movies, books, songs and albums. These proper nouns are essential for solving general knowledge clues, which can make up to 20-25% of crossword clues. These clues are the type that you either know them or you don't, i.e. difficult to just guess, so if you do not know a particular person you are usually stuck.2) Provides filters to reduce the list of possible answers. This is essential when only a few letters are known. E.g. you can filter out rarely used words.3) Choose the language of the word list, from a large range of downloadable dictionaries. 24 languages are currently available (see below).4) Contains 5 different modes for help solving Crosswords, Anagrams, Synonyms, Codeword, and Cryptic Crosswords. Codeword mode allows the user to specify which letters are already known (and hence not considered for the unknown letters), and which unknown letters are the same (i.e have the same Codeword number). Cryptic mode contains extra help with many examples.5) Solves "two word" answers. This is very useful in combination with first and last names of famous people. It also finds "two word" anagrams.6) View answers in multiple columns. Optimized use of screen space. Takes full advantage of size of tablet.7) Can be played in portrait or landscape mode. Just rotate your device and the display adjusts automatically.8) The dictionary also contains some foreign language words. These are often found in some crosswords. Foreign words are English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Latin.9) Contains about 150,000 synonyms, using the built-in thesaurus, to help find the solution from the clue.

All of these features are available without an internet connection, and are rarely found in similar applications.

Other functionality includes:


- Lightning fast search engine. No search button needed as possible matches are displayed instantly as you type.
- Comprehensive list of 300,000+ normal words, split into common and rare lists to help you find the right match.
- View detailed word definition of the possible answers (internet connection required). The app transforms the Wiktionary page, in order to be easily viewed on small screens.
- Link to the wiki page for famous people and places (internet connection required).
- App can be downloaded onto an SD card.

Dictionaries available are English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Indonesian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian(Latin), Serbian(Cyrillic), Slovak, Slovene, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and more coming later.

Fantastic app for helping with cryptic crossword clues. Use it daily. Takes a while to get your head round it's capabilities, but a great little assistant.

Last ditch solver for when you are stumped. Better than any paper dictionary or thesaurus.

Jay. G. Oct 23, 2016     

I do apologise but this app crashed a few times and the results are never displayed even with basic regex.

Byr. R. Apr 28, 2018     

Very comprehensive database , links to Wiki and loads of dictionaries including other languages. Especially like the multi-word anagram solver. Highly recommended.

A. G. u. Feb 7, 2018     

I love cryptic crosswords and Crossword Solver has often bailed me out, and taught me some new words. Especially helpful when I tackle a UK puzzle.

Mal. A. Nov 3, 2017     

Shame about the intermediate 'START' screen rather than the usual Android method of changing settings etc from within the app using the 'Hamburger' symbol

Dic. W. Nov 11, 2017     

Very good indeed. Occasional quirks, but that's inevitable with languages.

Ron. L. Mar 1, 2018     

Having used the free version for some time, the new synonym matching feature convinced me to buy. *Edit* resubmitted review after install on new phone (to stop promptiing). Still my favourite app.

Ric. G. Nov 9, 2017     

Good but dictionary definitions poor and sometime definitions hang or cannot be found

The recent update takes this app to the top of the table for valuable help with crosswords. Too many good features to list. Try it and see

Sim. E. Nov 10, 2014     

App is good, but I dislike the start screen and there is no option to turn off. The extra step when starting slows things down.
