As the journalist in the game, you are going around the town to investigate 30 different crime cases. It seems there is only one journalist in the town, and the other one is just busy criticising your work. The entire game has the same characters that commit multiple crimes, but only one journalist can solve the cases and is so powerful that he or she can even arrange police protection for some witnesses. Criminals will go to jail, but they will commit another crime after being released and later related to other cases or commit another crime. I felt terrible for the secretary who keeps losing her job after talking to me. Although it is called crosswords, the puzzles are more like Scrabble, which doesn’t require you to build words related to the cases. You need to make longer words or use the tile with 2x to earn more points to get a star. The star is to use to unlock the next stage, such as talking to another person involved in the case. You only have a certain number of turns and sometimes, only limited of time to get as many points as you can. You don’t have to get all stars to unlock the next stage in the case as long as you have at least one star. However, you need to have th…

Good simple crossword
Not recommended Sep 19, 2023
First off, this isn't a crossword game its scrabble. Second off, its basically playing scrabble with yourself. You don't need to buy this game, just open a box of scrabble. Thirdly, I must have tried to play this in the past, and there was no way to reset my progress, which is irritating. Do not recommend, just play scrabble online.

It's a great game for people who like scrabble, it has good characters and fun stories. As long as you're aware it's a scrabble type game as apposed to a crossword game you'll enjoy it and have fun.

Can you please help me with your game? Your bug doesn't allow me to continue. Please help.
Recommended Feb 6, 2022
This game has been a fun few hours today. I'll probably keep playing it as well. There were a few times it didn't accept words that are valid, and also had a few that I questioned the validity of. Some of the extra games are a little confusing, like the one where you drop a letter into the puzzle square and it causes letters to disappear with it and sometimes sets off bombs. There is no tutorial for it, and I'm never quite sure what will happen when I place a letter on there. Other than that, it's a fun little game and I'm glad I got it.
