The Sun Crossword Challenge Description

The Sun Crossword Challenge operates like a traditional crossword puzzle but with a twist. Like the daily crossword in The Sun newspaper, each puzzle will have two sets of clues - coffee time with quick clues and cryptic with longer, more brain teasing clues. The game has more than 1000 crossword challenges to test the player’s mind.

Using the intuitive game play of the Nintendo DS stylus, the player writes their answers straight onto crossword with the character recognition. If the player gets really stuck, help is at hand with optional hints!
