Robo Crosswords

Robo Crosswords is a free, open-source crossword puzzle app for Android. It was forked from Shortyz Crosswords by Robert Cooper.

Robo Crosswords is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 3. See the file COPYING.html for the license text.

Robo Crosswords was formerly known as Words With Crosses, until in 2017, I was demanded by Zynga to change the name. This app has never been associated with or related to Zynga or its app Words With Friends.

If you'd like to support the continued development of Robo Crosswords, please donate. This is a side project of mine done in my spare time, outside of my day job.
