Description
Welcome to the world of acrostics! An acrostic, also called a crostic or double crostic, is a cousin of crossword puzzles, with clues and answers whose letters are rearranged to form a quote from a famous (or not-so-famous) author. If you're familiar with acrostics, you will quickly see how convenient they are on the iPhone, because letters are automatically copied to the correct place as you type them in.
Crostix, the online library of acrostic puzzles, is now available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It includes 150 puzzles, from easy to fiendishly hard, and you can buy more puzzles right in the application. For free sample puzzles, download the aptly-named Crostix Free.
The program has all the features you'd expect:
- get hints for a single letter or an entire word,
- see your score, based on how many hints you needed,
- change the font size by pinching,
- rotate the device as you like, and
- get help on all program options.
If you're new to the world of acrostics, the application also includes a short description to get you started. More tutorials about acrostics are available on our Web site!

Version history
3.3
2016-10-04
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Three new books! Crostix Books 12 and 13, and a second book of Larry Katzman's Gaglines puzzles. Updated for iOS 10. Unfortunately, that also means you will need at least iOS 8 to run this new version. Our apologies to those using older devices.
But most importantly, we hope that this new version fixes the evil and long-standing bug which caused the app to be stuck in "Waiting for Data" mode for new books. Let us know if you still have problems with this; fixing it is our number one priority.

A new book: HeadLines. The HeadLines puzzles are similar to regular acrostics, but instead of the author and title in the first column of the answers, your extra clue is that the quote is a fictional headline from a given year. How well can you remember your history?

CCinTX,
My favorite Anacrostics in electronic form
I’ve always loved Anacrostics. I’ve been doing them with pencil and paper for years. This app works just like the printed ones, but once completely filled in, you get immediate feedback as to whether all entries are correct. They’re fun and challenging, especially at the higher difficulty levels.
NSC41,
Absolutely wonderful.
I have spent many hours enjoying these puzzles and learning many things I did not know before. I hope that will continue to be additions to the Crostix library as I have completed most of them that are currently available.
deserves no stars at all,
Great app but no updates for several years!
I love this app, but there have been no new puzzles for several years. It's easy to use and most of the puzzles are information and fun to solve.
I like the more complicated puzzles, not the gag lines. However, the Sherlock Holmes puzzles are extremely difficult. I exhausted the Mumford puzzles quite a while ago, which makes the current version of the app worthless.
PLEASE add more puzzles soon!

Great Game!
I love word puzzles and this is one that works very well - great interface; nice gradations on clues; super variety of topics and quotes.
tamikajo,
Great app
One of the few I’ll actually pay for which says a lot. I’ve always loved this kind of puzzle.
I’d love it it started with some “free” letters on the puzzle to get you started but all in all I really enjoy playing.

Frijitz,
Not bad
Overall, way too easy. As mentioned elsewhere, in-app purchases do not all work. Almost a year and this has not been fixed???
Update: Still cannot make in-ap purchases as of Dec 2017. No way to contact the developer. Downgrading to one star, as is totally useless.

The Best
Excellent puzzles from easy to fiendish! I can't get enough!
PN69,
Love it!
So much fun.
AmaryllisApple,
STILL THE BEST WORD APP!!!

Readingaloud,
An excellent idea
I enjoy crostic puzzles much more than crosswords, especially on the iPad. The computer removes the greatest drawback to crostics--the fussy work of transferring letters between the word list and the quotation.
In reducing the fussiness, the program also makes the puzzles much easier. You can quickly try out an idea in one grid to see whether letters land in sensible places in the other. I find that instead of laboring to complete one puzzle at a time, I can knock off half a dozen of these at a sitting. Unfortunately, this means that you can run out of puzzles pretty quickly.
Another difficulty is that all of the puzzles are by the same constructor, and there's a good deal of repetition--clue words and even the clues themselves appear in several puzzles. For example, you might not initially know the term for the opposite of hibernation (sleeping in the summer rather than the winter), but you'll know it soon, and what ought to be a rather difficult clue will become a gimme. This is another reason the puzzles are easy. Allowing for this effect, there isn't much difference in difficulty between the easy puzzles and the "fiendish" ones, at least if you do them in order.
It would be wonderful if the Crostix folks could get the rights to republish the work of other constructors, including some of the old classic Thomas Middleton puzzles.
