If "wordplay" is your thing, you'll love CryptoQuad, an intriguing combination of common words and cryptic clues. You must fill in the correct words for each quad-shaped puzzle. To do this, you're provided with cryptic clues which are part definition of the word and part wordplay on the word. Once you figure out a word, drag the appropriate "letter tiles" into their proper positions on the puzzle board. You are given enough tiles to make four words that form a square; each tile has two letters on it. If you can decipher the clue, the puzzle's a snap! Otherwise, time will keep counting up and your score will decrease! Plus, every level features longer and more challenging words!

A recurring feature, this installment includes three new CryptoQuad puzzles (CRYPPZ10.CQP, CRYPPZ11.CQP, CRYPPZ12.CQP) for your solving pleasure.
