How to Play Times, The - Crossword Challenge
Quick start
Choose a concise crossword for a first attempt. Select an entry, read its clue and count the spaces before entering a short answer. Use the letters at intersections to work on a crossing word. Revisit any answer that no longer fits, and use the available help if you cannot make progress. Try cryptic clues when you want a wordplay challenge.
Controls
Use the stylus to select an entry and enter letters through the handwriting area or on-screen keyboard. Check the highlighted answer direction before typing. Move to a crossing entry to compare letters, and use the displayed help controls when needed.
Times, The - Crossword Challenge — About this game
This DS collection draws its crosswords from the British newspaper The Times. Concise clues favour direct definitions, while cryptic clues ask you to look for wordplay as well as meaning. Crossing answers supply letters that can confirm an idea or expose a wrong turn. Choose the style that suits you and use the available feedback and hints when you need help. The touch interface supports handwritten answers and an on-screen keyboard, giving the grid the feel of a portable puzzle page. Begin with a concise puzzle, solve a few short entries and return to the harder clues once their crossing letters offer more information.
