About this game

Exercise your brain every day with picture crosswords!
Now with over 1,000 puzzles

ONE CLUE CROSSWORD is a new kind of crossword puzzle. Instead of a list of written clues, each puzzle includes a single picture. Every word in each puzzle can be deduced from the picture.

In some of the puzzles you'll just need to say what you see - but in others you'll need to think a little more laterally. It's easy to play, but with 100s of unique puzzles, you might find it hard to put down!


FEATURES

โ–  A whole new way to play crosswords
โ–  Over 1,000 puzzles to solve
โ–  NEW - 'Mix-Up' mode!
โ–  End-of-chapter Guardian Puzzles will test your word skills
โ–  Hundreds of beautiful photos - people, places, animals and more
โ–  Use instant hints to remove unused letters or reveal the next letter in a clue

I've been playing for a while and enjoy the game. Some answers are very abstract and aren't directly in the picture. It would be nice if you could zoom in or enlarge the picture somehow. And I'm not sure what recently happened but the option to watch videos to double coins at the end of completing a puzzle is gone. The same has happened for extra coin or tokens. The option is just gone. You used to be able to watch videos for 5 tokens and now it is just gone. I took off a star for that alone.

When you updated One Clue Crossword last month, my game froze and would not engage. I had to download it again, and I lost a LOT of my points. I am a quarter of where I was before. I had already reached the level after the grid puzzles- the level where you put the 2-3 letter sections to make a word. Now, it's all gone and I'm back on the grid. I really liked this game (that's how I got so far), but I am not happy about this.

This is a great game that I like to play daily. It exercises your brain and observation skills. There are some ads in this game if you play for free, but many less than in most other games. I haven't needed pay to play because I earn plenty of tokens to keep playing. I only play one puzzle per day because new ones aren't added frequently enough. I'm tired of clicking on the screen saying I read the terms and conditions each time I start the game. No other game requires this.
