A few lame clues and some words left out of anagrams.Overall Score: One thumb up, one sideways; 85/100; B; * * * 1/2 out of five.

Despite a few small inconveniences including a few lame crossword clues and selectively missing words in the anagrams, the portability, number of games, easy-to-use touch controls, low price and the two extra games not advertised on the cover make Crosswords DS a sure-fire winner for any puzzle-lovin’ person.
