Crossword Together Description
Crossword Together is a multiplayer crossword game.
Playing a crossword is fun but playing a crossword with friends is more fun. It introduces social elements into the classic game and gives a more interesting experience. Crossword Together works like you are hosting a game room. You share the room ID with friends. And the friends join your room with room ID you gave them. Then you play the crossword together.
Create the game:
If you have the .puz file in your phone, choose the upload button at bottom of the “Create” screen and navigate to your puz file. In this way you uploaded the puzzle privately or publicly. Now you are in the “Play” screen and you can play the puzzle by yourself. To invite friends to join, click the “Add Friend” button on the top right of the screen and you will see the game ID. You can share the message with your friends via whatever way you like.
If you don’t have a puzzle and just want to play some random puzzle with your friends, you can explore what other people are playing. Some people share their crossword puzzle publicly and you can use them.
To have more fun with the game, you need some regular puz sources of your own. Some are paid subscriptions for example NT Times and there are tons of free puzzles available too.
An example of a free puzzle source is here. You can download the puz file to your device and test creating the game.
