Crosswords DS

Crosswords DS (stylized as CrossworDS and known as Nintendo Presents: Crossword Collection in PAL regions) is a puzzle video game developed by American studio Nuevo Retro games released by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console.

Crosswords DS supports up to four players, and features two basic modes - Training and Main Game.

The main game includes three classifications of puzzles - Crosswords, Word Searches, and Anagrams.

The crossword puzzle is displayed on the touch screen and players tap tiles with the stylus to enlarge them, and then proceed to write in the desired letter.

On higher difficulties, the player has the option to do the puzzle without the game showing if the letter is correct or not.

Players drag the letter tiles with the stylus into a box to make the words.
