About this game

Kryss is the new, highly addictive game that lets two players test each other's imagination and vocabulary.

The turn-based game is developed from the idea of transforming the traditional crossword solution - old school Scandinavian style - into a game where you compete against each other in the same crossword puzzle.

You receive five letters each turn, then strive to place the letters in the crossword within a minute. There are several ways of outscoring your opponent, including a significant bonuses for completing words, for getting key letters right or for using all your five letters within a round.

Then again: it might just pay off to keep one of the crucial letters for later use – when the stakes are higher.

Kryss has the element of randomly awarded letters in common with other classic word games.

But Kryss is faster, and it offers a logic and gaming experience which makes it feel like no other passtime you ever engaged in. It is pure yoga for the brain, meditation for the mind, and vocabulary training in a game.

And with the chat function you can keep in touch with your favorite aunt at the same time as teasing your best friend for being the slowest player in the known Universe.

By sending challenges to your friends via social media, email or text messages you will get both more people to compete with and in-game bonuses that lets you enjoy Kryss even more!

My scores are not updating. I have had over 5 wins where my points were not allocated to me. Why is this issue happening again? It happened last year where my scores went from above 2000 to the region of 1500. And now the scores are not just updating. This is frustrating and annoying. Hard work is not evident. There are always bugs in your game. Fix it. Update : Issue fixed long ago but still bugs in the game.

the game it's self is brilliant, a mix of Scrabble and arrow words plus playing against an opponent. very addictive but also frustrating knowing the words and not getting the letters you need to fill in the blanks. I would have marked 5/5 but the down sides to the game are as follows ... 1 it makes the phone run hot. 2 adds every turn are very frustrating and break the concentration thus really ruining the game and 3 this app really tans the battery, from full charge to flat in just four games.

Great game with a lot of potential. However this needs a daily reward of a free board or two to keep you coming back. Currently you have to watch ads or pay money for new boards, which can be frustrating if you do that and then your opponent quits (your board is gone). Maybe get your board back if opponent quits? Either way, I was enjoying the game but just got bored of knowing that the first thing I'd have to do on launch was watch an ad to even play... Daily bonus and I'd give a higher rating.
