Gameplay

[edit]

Players use the stylus to write the letters using handwriting recognition, with keyboard optional.[1] There are 1,000 puzzles with increasing levels of difficulty over the days of the week, just like the crosswords published in the New York Times (Mondays are easiest, Saturdays are hardest, and Sundays are significantly larger, but only the difficulty of a Thursday).[1][2] Wireless allows up to 4 players to compete or work as a team to complete puzzles.[citation needed]

Reception

[edit]

Nintendo World Report rated the game a 9.0.[1]
