About the Crosswords With Friends App
Taking heavy inspiration from traditional newspaper crossword puzzles, Crossword With Friends provides a complex but engaging experience. It offers various modes, weekly challenges and puzzle packs that almost seem endless. With all of these combined, your time spent finding words will always feel fun and invigorating.
Crosswords With Friends was developed by Zynga Inc. This is the same company responsible for Words With Friends and Words With Friends 2. This is why Crosswords With Friends shares a lot of the same design elements. Examples include the focus on multiplayer and the numerous themed puzzle packs.
How to Play
At its core, Crosswords With Friends is a traditional crossword puzzle game. To that end, you play and win the same way you do with any crossword puzzle.
Read the clues for each empty space on the grid.
Spell out the words that you believe are the answers.
Use the letters you add to help form the answers for other missing words, arranged in “down” and “across” orientations.
The core gameplay is nothing radically different from what you probably already enjoy. The only major shift comes from two key features. You have the ability to play with other people and you can use certain in-game helping tools.
Find Crosswords With Friends Answers
Crossword puzzles are a lot of fun, but there inevitably comes a time when you can’t find the answer. It can take you a while to solve it. The problem is that, in the Crosswords With Friends app, the puzzles are all timed. If you want to get the highest ranking possible and beat your opponents, you need to make words and complete the crosswords quickly.
With time being such a big factor in Crosswords With Friends, these tips can keep you on the path to the best scores.
Develop Your Vocabulary
The most important aspect of being good at crossword puzzles is to expand your knowledge about a variety of topics. Doing so will increase your vocabulary and reduce the chances of encountering a question you know nothing about. If you want to learn about new topics, try playing some trivia quiz games.
Move Around the Board
If you get stumped by a crossword clue, try moving onto another one. Don’t let stubbornness keep you from moving forward in a game. The timer is always going. As you fill in the Crosswords With Friends answers you do know, you’ll gain letters that can help you solve more difficult crossword clues.
Check the Down and Across Questions
Once you start running into multiple questions where you don’t know the answers, switch back and forth between the down and across clues. They share letters with each other. When you fill in a few crossword answers, you’ll start to fill a lot of the blanks. And in Crosswords With Friends, switching between the down and across questions is quick and easy.
Use the Available Tools
Don’t ignore the helpful tools the game gives you. Some of them require you to collect and then spend coins to use, but they can make all the difference when you’re trying to finish a puzzle quickly. Some of them reveal letters or even full words. Another one will show you when a letter you’ve entered is incorrect.
Experiment With Letters
If you turn on the option to see incorrect letters, don’t be afraid to experiment with them. It’s especially helpful if you try all the vowels in a word. Doing so can quickly eliminate a lot of wrong guesses. It can also help you spot answers you didn’t see in connected word spaces.
