What real reviews say
★★★★★ Anacrostica This is my favorite type of word puzzle, and I’ve been doing the paper version for years. I love the way this digitized version lets you experiment with words and do an easy erasure and re-do.
★★★★★ Best of the Best I have played these Acrostic games by Egghead for years and absolutely love them.

A good form of entertainment that keeps me on my toes
