Crossword Help finds words matching a pattern, synonyms and anagrams. comprehensive word lists, with words, compounds, phrases and proper nouns, mean that you should never be stuck on a crossword puzzle again.

There are three word lists provided for advanced word searching:
- Basic: 110 000 words and common compounds
- Advanced: over 750 000 words and compounds
- Wikipedia: millions of head words from Wikipedia

Word searches can include one or more unknown letters, vowel/consonant patterns, or groups of possible letters. For example, searching for T???P finds 5-letter words starting in T and ending in P. The Basic word list is the same as that used by Crossword Compiler - the program used by most professional crossword constructors.

The program also includes a full offline thesaurus: enter a complete word to show synonyms. You can easily change the length of the words shown to match the slot in a puzzle.

You can check if a word is in the word list and find anagrams. Theres also a feature to find partial anagrams - all the words that can be made using the letters in a word (useful for Scrabble (TM)).

No Internet connection is required, but if you are online you can click on any word to quickly look it up in a variety of web references - turn your iPhone into an electronic crossword dictionary!

Other features include:

- Use British, American, Canadian or Australian English lexicon
- Change case and punctuation sensitivity
- Change maximum word length

Pros and cons of Crossword Help app for iPhone and iPad

Crossword Help app good for

This is by far and without a doubt, the most powerful and most customizable crossword/Scrabble/anagram dictionary in the itunes store.
Fast and Flexible, im still finding new ways to use it when im not working on crosswords!
This is great for solving crossword puzzles, it will really help you.
I use it for homework so its kool for me I got it when it is free
Does everything it promised and more. Now I can delete all those useless programs (including the one that anagrammed, but didnt have any results if the word was a plural). I dont usually splurge on programs, but this was worth it.
This has helped me solve countless crosswords. The best crossword app by far

Some bad moments

I must agree with sketch, America#1 roar! As for this Crossword Help, quit the price drops and increase it doesnt help! Neither does this app, crosswords are to make you think, pointless if you use this, keep at free and work on your next app and hopefully its a better one.
It looks and works great, and my first reaction was favorable. That was until I did a routine sync operation. The process froze the sync process repeatedly. Only after removing the app from my iPhone was I able to perform a sucessful sync. Once the problem is fixed, I will look forward to using it. Otherwise it looks fine and performs as promised.
This app does not work. When finally get it to sync on iphone it wouldnt even open.Deleted it right away.Spent $4.00 for nothing. You guys out there beware.This does not even deserve a star.
This is not worth it. I wish I could get my money back. It only helps with word patterns, but not clues. I still need another app to get those. :-(
