HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (13 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY LOVE · SHARE OF GOOD REVIEWS
Fun, addictive42%

106 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It is still Fun though AND, I have made real friends from all over the world!, given the option to send messages to each person one plays with.
★★★★★ This game is so much fun to play alone or against friends.
★★★★★ I hate that the game isn't ongoing unless you pay, but I guess it's only meant to be enjoyed for a set period of time.
Worth the money9%

22 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ So I only play as much as I can for free.
★★★★★ The game is awesome but I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 because it is very expensive. You have to keep buying game boards.
★★★★★ My friend accepted my invite and has practiced with Kryss and I did not get any free boards
Fast4%

11 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The game sometimes freezes during the “Quick Play” setting, which can be frustrating, so I would advise playing the game at the regular, slower pace.
★★★★★ Love the game but can't understand while in Quickplay, the person that starts the game also gets the last play? That means the game starter has more chances to win. If it alternates like is should, the player that…
★★★★★ There is a quick play option and on multiple occasions players leave the game, then you are unable to play the game, and then all of a sudden when you're able to play other games, later it shows you lost to the player…
Useful, it helps2%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Helps keep my mind sharp and allows me to see things from a different perspective.
★★★★★ But all in all, a great pastime, which helps me learn new words and think outside the box.
★★★★★ It's a very fun game to play, and it's more fun to play against other people if you love a challenge, this game helps to stimulate your brain.
Great support2%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ They show ads even though I pay 15/month to turn off the ads. How do you say fraud? I have to send an angry email to get the ads turned off. The only reason I play is because my best friend plays. Otherwise… Don't…
★★★★★ I had a gulch where I wasn't credited for my purchases but the developer fixed once I complained!
★★★★★ It appears they have attempted to fix this issue, as well, I contacted customer support and was refunded some boards.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
I want to like it but….

The letter distribution system in this game is incredibly unfair. The words are spelled different ways on different boards (ork and orc etc) depending on what the cross needs which is ridiculous. The fact you don’t get at least 3 free boards given to you every day is asinine. Who wants to watch ads? If you don’t then you have to pay their ridiculous monthly fee! Not a one time fee. This could be a really great game but they don’t care enough to clean it up and make it better. I keep downloading it in hopes it will be better every time I do.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
Good game ok

Good game too many Ads tho.

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026
Expensive

Fun game overall but no one time fee to get rid of ads and subscription is very expensive for a phone game. The trial period is also way too short and I ended up paying a whole month before canceling but that’s probably the intention.

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026
I love this game!

It is a great challenge. My only critique of course is the price for the subscription. So I only play as much as I can for free.

★★★★★Oct 6, 2026
ADS

Too many adds!

★★★★★Sep 28, 2026

Store description

Kryss is a crossword game you can play solo or with friends. Take turns with the computer, a random player, or someone you know. Every game brings a Scandinavian-style crossword, also known as an arrowword, that you haven't solved before, with clues and drawings to help you. Crossword puzzles and arrow words in 12 languages, free to play. HOW TO PLAY You get five letters each turn and one minute to place them in the shared crossword. Score bonus points for completing words, getting the key letters right, and using all five letters in one turn. Every letter you place stays on the board for the other player too, so sometimes it pays to save a letter for later. PLAY YOUR WAY - Solo: take turns with the computer - Random: get matched with another player - Friends: play with friends and family, and tease your best friend in the chat for being the slowest player in the universe - Up to 20 games at the same time, with a notification when it's your turn WHAT'S INSIDE - A different crossword puzzle in every game, created by crossword authors around the world - Daily Puzzles, events, and missions with prizes - 12 languages: English, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Turkish, Dutch, and Russian A WORD GAME FOR YOUR BRAIN Kryss is yoga for the brain and vocabulary training in one game, easy to pick up for young and old.
