- A small bug fix to improve gaming quality
Crossword Puzzle 3D is a clever re-imagining of the classic word game. Instead of just filling in boxes, you are physically dragging and dropping objects into a 3D space based on 'object defining' clues. It adds a physics-based challenge that makes solving each level feel more tactile and rewarding than a standard crossword. The levels are well-balanced, and the addition of a 'home decoration' feature gives you a nice meta-game to spend your hard-earned coins on.
The game looks great and runs smoothly, though some players have noted that the daily puzzles could use more variety in terms of monthly themes. However, the core loop of guessing the correct placement for 3D items is unique and highly addictive. It’s a great example of how to modernize a classic genre by adding a third dimension of gameplay. If you’re tired of standard crosswords, this physics-puzzle hybrid is definitely worth a download.
Physics-based 3D puzzles
Unique object-defining clues
Home decoration meta-game
Smooth drag-and-zoom controls
Dynamic shop and rewards
As levels get bigger, use the drag and zoom function to navigate the 3D space. This is essential for placing smaller objects accurately and avoiding physics-based mishaps.
After solving puzzles, head to the shop to buy furniture and decor. You can design and decorate multiple homes, which serves as your main progression hub outside of the puzzle levels.
Coins are earned by completing puzzle levels and can be increased through the Super Bundle or by watching rewarded ads.
Are only ever October. When completed, there are no other months. These are the most challenging puzzles, so it’s disappointing.
I’m not sure if they stopped making levels or my game is just broken but every time I go to play a level it just picks a random old one. It’s also really annoying the “hard” levels are actually mind numbingly easy. I have an adblocker so I don’t get ads every two seconds but the popups from golden letters and leveling up every 5 moves are ridiculous. I don’t care about my level at all. It does nothing. Please make more levels. Challenging ones for once. The base of this game is great! I really want to love it
I think the update messed my game up. The actual crossword area is reset but not and the items I’d placed before are gone and I can’t even restart it it just loads the same thing… I can’t even move the item in the bar at the bottom either imma contact help which should be in the app not having to come all the way to the App Store but I thought I’d say something since it’s messed up and I don’t know if it can be fixed without additional update to fix the issue.
I downloaded this game twice. I love the concept of the game and both times when I got to the difficult puzzles, I was unable to finish. Near the end of each puzzle, the pictures (or words) would not fit into the empty spaces. The letters on the board would NOT line up with how the pics were spelled. I hope this gets fixed because, I think I’d really enjoy this game. I hope the developers see this review because you can’t fix something you don’t know is broken.
The pop up giving you the option to watch an add for more coins pops up WAY too often. It’s basically every move because it’s when you find one of the gold squares. If this pop up happened a little less often the game would be so much better. But it starts to get irritating and makes me quit playing.
I’m on Level 101. The very day I purchased the ad-free version, I broke it. Every time I bring up the level, one of several things happens: 1) The letters that are pre-populated are clearly incorrect (nonsense combos like multiple strange consonants strung together) so none of the objects can fit; 2) The letters are correct, but the only possible correct answer is immediately counted as wrong; 3) The objects at the bottom are completely gone. So I just paid for a game that is no longer playable.
Levels actually had a bit of challenge before the newest update but now they're all painfully easy. What's the point of the challenge levels if they have the same number of words and same number of spots filled in as the regular puzzles?
If I had an ad each time I completed a level no problem, but they pop up in the middle of the puzzle constantly.
