Crossword Puzzles for Kids
$1.99 Ages 3-10 Overall rating: 4.1 out of 5 stars Why we like it: The name says it all -- this crossword puzzle app contains 48 crosswords with more than 300 word in different categories including animals, food, clothes, and colors. Each puzzle is leveled, and the design is very clean. A color coding system is used for hints, which are available at any time. Need to know: You can't unlock the harder levels until you solve each puzzle, which could slow children down. Also, the letters tend to float above your finger letting you see what you're doing. This makes sense, but takes some getting used to. Ease of use: 9/10 Educational: 9/10 Entertaining: 8/10
