Description
Dive into the world of wordplay with Cross Spin, the ultimate game for word puzzle lovers!
The goal is to be the first to solve bite-sized crosswords. Each round a puzzle board is selected and category cards are flipped for each word slot. Each player now races to complete the puzzle by putting an answer for any category into any location. If you're stuck, spin the board and unlock new word combinations. Since any answer can go in any slot no round will ever be the same! When the first person finishes, share your answers and tally up points for each word correct. Choose a new puzzle board and category cards and play again. First to 25 is the winner!
