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!

Fun game, updated it in good faith which was a big mistake. Now i get 5 second long, loud!! video ads after EVERY turn. I don't mind ads, but absolutely hate the video ads that instantly play with sound on. Before updating the ads weren't this bad. I very much regret updating the app. Edit: I'm close to uninstalling. The sheer amount of ads is obnoxious and unbearable, unskippable ads after every turn, can be 3 ads per minute! Awful, sucks the joy out of it.

I've been playing this game pretty much daily for the past year. Unfortunately I don't think I'll play much after the latest update. I'll eventually get use to the slick new layout where the letters at he bottom of the screen are too small. But the new hint feature really ruins it for me. The joy is in playing cleverly to beat your opponent but now they can just use hints to win easily. Unless we get a feature where you can choose whether to play with help or not, I will have to stop playing.

Hi Bianca, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're not fond of the new update.. Please keep in mind that Power-ups very rarely (if ever) cause a player to win. They are for players that struggle to solve difficult puzzles on the board, so not everyone has to use them. Other than that Kryss is the same as it always has been! Best, Kryss

Really fun game, but the ads and glitches have gotten out of control. Ads after every single turn and even in the middle of turns at times. Opponents constantly disconnecting; begin a turn, only for time to run out immediately at the start of the turn; placing letters on the board, knowing they belong there, only for them to be rejected and you find the opponent placed them with no issue. Previously there was a daily spinner to win prizes, but now it's gone
