I have never liked Crossword puzzles, but this game is different. I have hardly played Suduko since I got this game. I can not spell, but this game can give hints and corrections. The player can also choose the day of the week from the New York Times, the later in the week the more difficult the game. I really enjoy the format and find it very stimulating.

Excellent yet Challenging

The interface for doing puzzles is wonderful. I got the hang of it in no time at all (without reading the manual). The puzzles can be hard, but that's okay - I'd expect that from NY Times puzzles. This is a keeper for my collection as it is guaranteed to give me hours of gameplay.

Excellent Game Choice for Everyone

The New York Times Crosswords is an excellent game for the DS. The controls are very intuitive, and it utilizes both screens extremely well. The most amazing aspect of the game is the handwriting recognition software they have implemented. As someone with lousy handwriting, I can't begin to express how satisfying it is to have my letters recognized instantly. With over a 1000 puzzles, I don't think I'll be taking this game out of my DS for while.

Note: Keep in mind that these are NYT crossword puzzles. They get hard. Saturday puzzles can take awhile, and may require a little cheating.

Great game for crossword enthusiasts!

If you enjoy crossword puzzles, then this is the game for you. The number of puzzles included is amazing (3 years worth of daily puzzles). Also the handwriting recognition is almost perfect and makes it very easy to fill in the puzzles. Trust me, if you like crosswords then you will love this game!

If you love the challenge of a crossword puzzle this is the way to do it.
Easy levels to start, with choices for progress.
You can work the puzzles like New York Times with increasing levels of difficulty each day of the week, or you can pick your level and stay there.
Graded for time taken and hints used to complete.
No more messy erasures or blotchy crossouts!! Love it!

Exactly what I had hoped for

The interface on this game is great....couldn't be better. If you're considering this item, then you probably have some sense of what kinds of puzzles to expect...they increase in difficulty by day of the week, with Monday and Tuesday being easier than Wednesday and Thursday, and so on. Being able to select puzzles from a calendar lets you decide what size challenge you want.

There is a useful "hint" feature that I really like when I'm stuck...it will fill in any missing letter that I request, or verify that a letter I've placed is correct.

I expect I'll get a couple years of fun out of this game.

Enjoy this game very much

I bought this game for my wife and she loves it. She likes that it has different levels of difficulty as well as hints, etc. It's a very good game all around.
