How to Play Classic Word Games
Quick start
Choose a word game and read its rules. Try one crossword or search, inspect an unfamiliar definition and return to solve using the clue and available letters.
Controls
Use the DS touch interface to choose a game, select cells or letters and enter answers as shown. Follow each puzzle's selection and confirmation method rather than assuming every grid uses the same gesture.
Classic Word Games — About this game
Classic Word Games combines familiar letter puzzles with tasks about idioms and quotations. A crossword asks you to recover a word from a clue, while a word search asks you to recognize one in a grid; definitions and example sentences give another way to understand unfamiliar vocabulary. Start with one format and finish a short round before switching. Read the complete clue rather than filling only a familiar-looking sequence, and check intersecting letters when a guess does not fit. The activity menu lets you vary the kind of language challenge without treating this collection as a single crossword book.
