Strengths and weaknesses
CodyCross
- Trivia clues teach you something as you solve
- Daily puzzles on top of a long main map
- Main map levels play offline once loaded
- An ad after each level unless you pay
- Loot boxes, and limited energy for missions
- Daily puzzles and new worlds need a connection
CodyCross turns the crossword into a trivia tour. Clues come from general knowledge across themed worlds, every grid hides a secret word, and Today's Crossword and Today's Password give you a reason to come back daily. Levels on the main map work offline once they've loaded. Free play brings an ad after each level, though, and loot-box packs and limited mission energy keep nudging you toward the store.
