As we suspected, the anagram mode is almost exactly like Text Twist, which (to us) is Crosswords' main draw. Such a basic but awesome addition will make this the deepest crossword puzzle title to date. We also like how clean the interface looks, even if it is relatively simple.
Fortunately, the wait for the game won't be long. Those of us in North America can expect to see it in stores on May 5th.

I played this for the first time yesterday (EU version), and it was kind of disappointing. I only tested out the normal one-player crossword function, so keep that in mind. However, in that space it can't hold a candle to New York Times Crosswords. In CrossworDS, you have to write slooowly for the system to recognize your script, and using the hint function reveals the entire word, not just one letter. Quite disappointing.

Wait, have I got my games mixed up? Just noticed that the game you've listed here is "Crossword DS", not "CrossworDS".

The boxart says that, but the title is in fact Crosswords DS.
