When I bought my Nintendo DS at Christmastime I bought it as a bundle which included the console and some games. One of the games I got was 'Puzzler Collection'. Puzzler Collection is basically a puzzle game consisting of four different puzzles to play; fitword, crossword, sudoku and wordsearch. With the fitword puzzle you have an empty grid which looks like a crossword grid, and on the other side of the screen is a list of words. You have to select these words and correctly place them into the grid so that they all fit together nicely. If you get stuck you can click on hints to help you out, these are either to have a whole word to be inserted into the grid, ...  Read the complete review

I read rave reviews all over the place about this game and couldn't wait to give it a try. I'm no puzzle addict but I do like the odd crossword or code breaker every now and again. This cost me £15 from Argos as part of a 2 for £30 deal, though I now see that several places have it for only £10 including Asda and Amazon (I was had there then).

I was given this game as a present (I had requested it as my mum has a copy and I thought it looked good) and I've played it an awful lot! It has 4 types of puzzle game on it; sudoku, wordsearch, fitword and crossword. There are 3 ability levels ranging from beginner to pro, and there are various different modes, including a daily challenge where you complete puzzles in a 20 minute window and a fast and fun where you have to fill in one or 2 clues against the clock, as well as standard puzzles. The puzzles are good fun, but the fitwords are still easy even on the pro level, and the skill levels on the sudokus are a little bit random. The crosswords are good ...  Read the complete review

When playing you hold your DS sideways (like a book) the puzzle is on one side of the screen and the clues/answers on the other side. This game contains four different games: Crossword - basically just an ordinary crossword where you have to work out the answers to the clues and fill in the answers. Fitword - which is a game where you get blank squares almost like a crossword layout and you have to fit words into the correct places. Wordsearch - words run vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. You have to highlight the word with you stylus. Sudoku - a number game where you have to fill in the numbers in the ...  Read the complete review
