Doesn;t Install Properly, doesn't make sense

Pros
none that I know of
Cons
Doesn;t Install Properly, doesn't make sense
Summary
Doesn;t Install Properly, doesn't make sense
Can't tell if it works
solitairedaxelFebruary 2, 2009
Pros
The download was very easy and quick
Cons
When attempting to run it, you get directed to a webpage where there's a small top ad for psychic readings, and below is presumably where it's supposed to load. Several minutes later...
Summary
Can't tell if it works or not, but I didn't realise from the description that it was supposed to be an *online* crossword game rather than one you can download and play on your computer, independent of internet.

Summary
Interesting. Teaching and playing at the same time. This is not only entertaining, but also educational - grade school teachers could use something like this to help generate interest in current events, etc.

Developer’s Description

By MICA

Solve word puzzles with the help of clues.

Cricklers are a new type of word puzzle - a total re-invention of the crossword puzzle for the computer age. Cricklers adapt: they become easier or harder depending on the skill of the solver. Words are chosen by the designer -- the computer takes care of fitting them together. Clues and answers sit side by side. You can see which letters are vowels, and you get a reassuring sound when you complete a clue correctly.
