There's a significant amount of content here, regardless of whether you hang solely with the crossword crowd, and
for around twenty bucks the package grows more tempting by the minute. If you're not much of a crossword fanboy, Crosswords DS is still a great way to see what all the fuss is about, as it covers all difficulty levels and even throws in word searches and anagrams for the hell of it. Sure, you'll be stuck working on one puzzle at a time, but solving it over the course of the day can be pretty satisfying. Said solving is also pretty well-suited for gaming on the go, as crossword puzzles are an excellent way to spend a few relaxing minutes.
Ready for the stats?
Sleep time: Crosswords DS doesn't pause when you close the lid, unsurprisingly. It isn't much of a problem, however, as even though you're timed there shouldn't be much of a rush to complete the puzzle.
Load time: A little more than thirty seconds to jump into a puzzle, though that's likely my fault for being left-handed. Crosswords DS starts out with a right-handed orientation and then wastes four or five seconds visibly spinning the screen around to suit me, which is a rather charming waste of time.
Play time: This one depends entirely on what puzzle you're playing, though it can be reasonably assumed any crossword in the Easy or Medium categories won't take you more than five or ten minutes at the most.
