 Ensures you'll never enjoy a crossword puzzle
Reviewer: C. D. Stack NYC 00-00-0000
This is perhaps the most ill-advised, poorly designed, cumbersome and irritating gadget I've ever used. Navigating the crossword grid is torture. Making out the characters on the screen gave me a headache. Discerning which squares on the grid were blank and which were filled in was stupefying. On top of that, the puzzles are uninteresting. My first attempt, at what this machine considered a "difficult" puzzle, took me 42 minutes to complete a puzzle that I would do in 7 or 8 minutes by hand simply because the interface is so difficult. For someone with aging vision or arthritic fingers, it would be impossible to use.
I had this useless, infuriating piece of junk in the return mail less than three hours after I opened it.
 Very educational and fun

I got this as a get well gift about two weeks ago.I normally do not like crossword puzzels that much but this crossword puzzle machine is fun and strengthens your vocabulary immensely.I would reccomend this to a 14 or above age area or a very intelligent 13 year old (like me).If you are a parent and your kid likes crossword puzzels get them this.It can be very challenging though.Sometimes I need help from my parents to figure some out.I like how it has over 500 crossword puzzels right in the palm of your hands.
The best game in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A disappointment

As a rabid Times crossword fan, I looked forward to getting this, but returned it. The screen is hard to see, and one must keep switching back and forth from clues to grid, making it more frustrating than fun to use.
My alternative recommendation is, if you have a handheld, to get the Stand Alone crossword software. I've since downloaded it and like it much better than this thing. Or you could just buy a crossword puzzle book or five, considering what this device costs.
