CrossMate Free

Store review

CrossMate Free is the best free crossword solver for many reasons.
Here are the five main advantages of CrossMate Free compared to other crossword solvers:

1) Contains 55,000+ Proper Nouns, including full names, professions, nationality, date of birth and death for about 40,000 famous people and around 14,000 places, i.e. countries, cities, rivers, mountains etc. These proper nouns are essential for solving general knowledge clues, which can make up to 20-25% of crossword clues. These clues are the type that you either know them or you don't, i.e. difficult to just guess, so if you do not know a particular person you are usually stuck.
2) Provides filtering to narrow down on possible matches, essential when only one or a few letters are known. E.g. you can filter out rarely used words. Who has the time or patience to look through a list of 200+ matches?
3) Contains special functionality for solving cryptic clues and extensive help on how it use it.
4) Solves two word combinations and anagrams, particularly useful combined with first and last names of famous people, or when doing cryptic clues.
5) Each match informs you what it is, e.g. person, city, rare word etc.

Most of these features are not in any of the other crossword solver applications. And they are all available without the need for a constant internet connection. It is the perfect companion whilst sat on the train doing the crossword in the newspaper.

The free version contains all the functionality of the main version, but contains small adverts at the bottom of the screen.

CrossMate Free is the ultimate companion for anyone that enjoys doing crosswords and other word games. It can even be used to help with other word type games, such as Scrabble, Codewords or "Words with Friends".
