Discovering The New York Times Crosswords Game

This game brings the classic challenge of crossword puzzles to your Nintendo DS. It's a great way to test your vocabulary and general knowledge. You can play it by yourself or with friends.

How to Play Crosswords on Nintendo DS

Playing the game is super easy and interactive. You use the Nintendo DS stylus to write letters directly onto the screen. The game then recognizes your handwriting. If you prefer, there's also an on-screen keyboard you can use instead. This makes solving puzzles feel very natural.

Puzzle Challenges and Difficulty Levels

The game comes with a huge collection of puzzles, over 1,000 in total! These puzzles have different levels of difficulty. They are organized by the days of the week, just like real newspaper crosswords.

  • Monday puzzles are the easiest. They are perfect for beginners or when you want a quick, relaxing game.
  • Sunday puzzles are the hardest. These are much bigger and more challenging, great for when you want a real brain-teaser!

Playing with Friends: Multiplayer Fun

The New York Times Crosswords game also lets you play with other people. You can connect wirelessly with up to four players. This means you can:

  • Compete against your friends to see who can finish a puzzle fastest.
  • Work as a team to solve a tricky puzzle together. It's a fun way to share the challenge!
