Time yourself if you want (you can compare your times on the puzzle leaderboards). Rate puzzles you solve and see how your ratings compare with others’.
Puzzazz’s powerful puzzle engine makes it the best app for all types of puzzles, many previously available only on paper, Puzzle types include crosswords, cryptic and variety crosswords, diagramless crosswords, acrostic, cryptogram, word, Sudoku, KenKen, logic, Mentagy, mystery puzzles, and many more.

6.1.1
2019-10-07
Improved iOS and iPadOS 13 compatibility, improved diagramless crosswords, improved support for physical keyboards, color tweaks to improve legibility for color blind people, other bug fixes and improvements. The puzzle answers for The Maze of Games have been released, which means hints may now be used when solving.
This release fixes problems with importing downloaded puzzles in .puz and ipuz format into Puzzazz in iOS/iPadOS 13. Note that the way files are downloaded and opened in some applications has changed significantly with iOS/iPadOS 13, and different apps provide different user interfaces for downloading and opening files. Some apps may require you to Download a puzzle and then Open it, while others provide a single operation which both downloads and opens a file. In some applications, you must Save a file to Apple's Files app before you can open it. In Safari, you must download a file and then tap on the downloads icon (a circle with a downward arrow in it at the top of the screen) in order to open the files.
The Puzzazz app does not have any control over the process until after you choose to Open a file in Puzzazz (this may be labeled Copy to or Share with in some cases). The Puzzazz choice may be hidden by default. If this happens, there is a More button which will reveal additional choices; you may need to scroll to see it (in most cases, you can promote Puzzazz so it will always appear without having to use the More button). Some applications report that they support ipuz files but do not actually seem to support them. If you choose such an application to open an ipuz file, nothing will happen (and Puzzazz will not open either).
6.1.1 fixes some problems with iOS 9 and iOS 10 that occurred with 6.1.
If you are using iOS/iPadOS 13, we recommend you get 13.1.2

It’s all about feedback from you! We improved the on-screen keyboard, added cell number options, and more.
* We completely reworked the on-screen keyboard, making it more responsive and better looking. You now have the option of a larger size for the keyboard, with keys that are the same size as those on Apple’s keyboard, which is particularly useful on phones when you’re not using TouchWrite. Choose whether you prefer a taller keyboard or a few more clues visible with the Keyboard Size option.
* We’ve added an option for larger cell numbers in crosswords and other grid puzzles. Your choices are Standard, Large, and Giant.
* You can now choose which sound gets played when you finish a puzzle correctly or allow Puzzazz to pick a random sound as it has done in the past. You can still turn sounds on or off with a single tap.
* We fixed a problem that caused some New York Times variety puzzles to load incorrectly.
* And, of course, we squashed a variety of bugs

If you really like Puzzazz, we have a favor to ask. If you’ve read this far, we’re betting you really like Puzzazz :) We’d really appreciate it if you’d give Puzzazz a 5-star review in the App Store. If you don’t think we’ve earned a 5-star review, then, by all means, please contact us and let us know what we can do to earn it. Reviews below 5 stars hurt us because we refuse to buy reviews or participate in review exchanges, so let us know what we need to do to make sure every review is 5 stars.

ChampAmp6V6,
Overall great, but I wish it would do something when I win!
Enjoy the user interface and especially touch write with my Apple Pencil, works very well. However, once I finish a crossword, I wish it would play some music or do something visual or both indicate that I won… The New York Times crossword app does this as well and I like it… I like your app that’s amazing volume of puzzles. Just give me a Tada or something when I win lol…. I need that positive reinforcement. Also, is your integration with the New York Times permanently broken?
Keep up the great work… And maybe think about giving me some sort of spinning widgets and cheesy music when I win…😎.

Great for US and UK store crosswords and more
I enjoy using Puzzazz on a daily basis. First of all, it's a very good app for solving crosswords -- I find it very easy to solve with the user interface, much easier than alternatives. It has handwriting recognition for those who like that, but even my slow typing is better than my bad handwriting. Puzzazz also does a great job with tricky crosswords that use "rebuses" (more than one letter in a square to solve).
Puzzazz lets you solve puzzles that you buy in the app (I highly recommend the UK-style cryptic crosswords from The Nation), it lets you solve your NYT puzzles in Puzzazz (NYT puzzle subscription required), and it even lets you import other .puz file crosswords into the app from independent crossword creators.
For an app that brings a crossworder joy on a daily basis, it's a wonderful bargain and I can't recommend it enough.

PS-reader,
best crossword solving app
This is the best crossword and other puzzle app, in my opinion. The UI is really good - you can see the clues list and the grid in portrait mode even on a mini iPhone screen! And entering letters is very smooth with keyboard or pencil (or finger). It plays a nice hurrah sound when you finish. The puzzle books are good quality. I just wish it synced progress and/or imported puzzles between devices (could use iCloud???). For that reason, I still use the Standalone Crossword app sometimes, but it is unpleasant. Otherwise, Puzzazz would be 5 stars.
Ackthbpt,
Using an Apple Pencil is an exercise in frustration
I've set the writing speed to slow, I've read the docs on how I should write the letters (which is a HUGE strike against the app - I have to write letters a specific way?) and it simply doesn't work. No matter what I do, chances are if I need a straight line anywhere in the letter, it's gonna show up as an "I" and if I need something round, it's gonna be either an "O" or an "S". Apps like GoodNotes allow you to lift your pencil from the "page" - ie: normal writing - so it's certainly possible from a technical standpoint. Why we're stuck with something like TouchWrite that simply does not work is beyond me.
If the devs want to address this or point out what I might be doing wrong, I'll consider revising my rating but as it stands, the app is literally unusable with an Apple Pencil.

Could be so great with Apple Pencil
I've been looking for a crossword app that works with Apple Pencil. Although this app offers writing recognition, it is FRUSTRATING to use. Resting your hand on the screen (which is natural) switches to another clue. Touching the Apple Pencil to the box switches between the horizontal and vertical clues. The app also has a hard time recognizing my writing, even after modifying my strokes per the suggestions in the help section. I hope they continue to update this app with better writing functionality. This app could be so great!
miapayne,
Love this app!
This is the best crossword puzzle app I have found. I like that you can see the whole puzzle and the keyboard at the same time, unlike other puzzle apps. You can try out a puzzle book before purchasing and there is a variety of difficulty levels. They have all sorts of word puzzles to choose from, though I personally just like crosswords. My only fear is that I will run out of crossword books!
Thank you for making this perfect app!
Thank you for making this perfect app!
Oddsoxx,
Love this app
It took a little practice with the Apple Pencil to get the letters right consistently but it works great now! I love the variety of puzzles and the fact that I can do one or two in each book before deciding whether to buy the book or not.
I’ve always enjoyed crossword puzzles in paper form but not so much on the iPad until I discovered Puzzazz. Being able to write in the answers as opposed to typing on a little keyboard, makes it perfect for me.

Undisclosed limitations
Not sure if the issue below was ever addressed - I gave up on that. But I’m increasing my rating anyway because I’ve enjoyed the diagramless puzzles.
New issue: Free Daily Sudoku has been broken for several days.
Prior comments: I loved this app until I began trying to open many of the puz files I've collected over the years. It imposes limits on what files you can open. No NYT before 2013, and apparently no WSJ at all? I guess I just have to wonder every time I go to open a puzzle whether Puzzazz will accept it.

Debeep1339,
What happened? I don’t know but it’s fixed
I’m was no longer able to download/open puzzles from Brendan Emmett Quigley; they always worked before (for years) and they open in the “Crossword” app. I got a message saying to contact the author, which I did. Author said Roy would look into it - I missed the reply message. Roy did respond and fixed the problem in a timely manner. Thank you very much!
rgarner,
Apple Pencil - no help section
I have at length looked for tutorials of how to use the Apple Pencil with the different puzzles on Puzzazz but have yet to find one, and while most of the writing technique is pretty intuitive, I’m extremely frustrated that there is not an easily find-able guide to how to write letters and numbers for each type of puzzle and what might be the most efficient way to use the Pencil on each puzzle. The only reason to use this app is because you want to utilize your Pencil while playing games making the omission of a help section especially problematic, hence the one star review. It would be a five star review if this matter was addressed.
