Playing in your browser

Choose Play Now on the arcade page. The current website games are free to play. Word Search saves puzzle selections, found words and completed themes automatically in this browser on this device. Retro Crossword Puzzles saves completed puzzle identifiers automatically; unfinished letters last for the active play session.

Return using the same browser and device to use those saves. Private browsing, clearing site data, resetting progress or changing devices can affect saved progress. Read the game's saving status if browser storage is unavailable. Reset Progress clears the progress identified by that game's confirmation. Website browser saves and mobile app saves are separate.

Towers 205 Retro Crossword — mobile

iPhone, iPad, Android phone and Android tablet editions are in development. Store download links will appear when each edition is available.

The approved free sampler has four 1990s Starter puzzles, one each from Music, Movies, Skating and Cars, with unlimited replay. The planned $1.99 US permanent full-game unlock opens the remaining 176 launch puzzles in the 180-puzzle collection.

Mobile progress and recovery

Current mobile builds save progress automatically on the device, including the current puzzle state. Both games retain a previous validated local checkpoint for recovery. Recovery replaces current progress with the selected earlier save; review the confirmation before proceeding. App removal or cleared app data can remove local saves.

Word Search on Android: progress export and confirmed import have passed local emulator checks. Use the progress-file actions in Settings to keep a copy in a location you control and restore a valid file for this game. A damaged file is rejected while current progress is retained.

Crossword on Android: progress export and confirmed import have passed local emulator checks. Use the progress-file actions in Settings, select the file through the system picker, and review the replacement confirmation.

Word Search and Crossword on iOS: local checkpoint saving and previous-save recovery have passed simulator checks. Manual file export/import remains under development and testing. Cross-platform file transfer and Apple/Google cloud recovery still require configuration and testing. Keep an exported Android file where you can find it; verify your app's available recovery actions before removing the app or changing devices.

Progress files contain gameplay progress. Purchase ownership is handled separately by the store. Restoring progress and restoring a purchase serve different purposes.

Unlocks, restoration and family access

Each planned permanent unlock includes that game's launch collection, fixes and improvements. Substantial future theme or puzzle packs may be sold separately, with contents and prices shown before purchase. US launch prices are listed above; the store will display the applicable local price before payment.

Select a paid theme or puzzle, or choose Unlock Full Game in Settings, to view the offer. Free sampler content remains replayable. To recover an existing purchase, use Restore Purchases with the original purchasing Apple or Google account and the original store. Check your internet connection and store sign-in if an unlock is missing.

iOS and Android purchases are separate. An Apple purchase grants access in the Apple edition; a Google Play purchase grants access in the Android edition. Access on the other platform requires its own purchase.

The Android in-app unlock belongs to the purchasing Google account. Google Play Family Library excludes in-app purchases. Apple Family Sharing for eligible permanent unlocks requires product configuration and family-account verification; availability will be stated after those checks. Store purchase and restoration behavior is still being tested before mobile release.

Mobile privacy and website hosting

The approved mobile design is ad-free, with account-free gameplay and no analytics tracking. Progress stays locally in current builds. Purchases use the player's Apple or Google store account. Optional gameplay images are generated on the device and shared to destinations the player selects. Cloud recovery remains pending.

Visiting this website involves Cloudflare page delivery and security processing, including technical request information. These website practices are described in the Privacy policy. Final app-specific disclosures accompany each mobile release.

Troubleshooting and contact

For a browser game that fails to load, check your connection and update your browser, then reopen the game. Keep site data when troubleshooting saved progress.
For a mobile problem, check the app version, reopen the app and review its saving status. Keep your available progress backup before clearing data or reinstalling.
For a missing unlock, check the purchasing account, original store and connection, then use Restore Purchases. Store-dependent recovery is verified during mobile release testing.
