Through a series of word puzzles set against varied scenic backdrops, Crossword Jam+ introduces a fun and thought-provoking way to pass the time. This game is an Apple Arcade exclusive, which can only be played if the player has an existing subscription to the service.

Fill out the crossword puzzle

Developed by PlaySimple Games, Crossword Jam+ is a challenging puzzle game that tests the player’s vocabulary skills. Each round features a jumbled set of letters you can reshuffle at any time and a blank crossword canvas to fill out. Form words using the letters and see if they fill out the empty spaces correctly.

Meanwhile, each round comes with a lovely scenic backdrop that serves as eye candy. You also get to piece together landscapes for your scrapbook after completing a handful of levels. It can be played offline, as well. Hints require coins, which you can earn after each round.

Shuffle the letters and form words

Overall, Crossword Jam+ is a great way to pass the time. With a plethora of word puzzles to accomplish, you’ll definitely spend some time shuffling the letters around and racking your brain for words. However, its exclusivity for Apple Arcade subscribers can be a glaring caveat.
