What Makes Fill-In Crosswords (Word Fit) Stand Out
Fill-in Crosswords (also known as Fill-it-ins or Word Fills) is a popular word game similar to crosswords.
Fill-in puzzles are a variation of the common crossword puzzle in which words, rather than clues, are given.
Features :
- Several levels of difficulty, from beginner to very hard
- A mix of crossword grid styles : american, french, italian, … (the difference is in the way the black squares are placed)
- 2 new puzzles every day
- Several languages available
- Many settings to customize the features and the look and feel of the grid
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We really like doing the daily puzzles each morning but some days we cant do them right away. Some days we miss the puzzle completely and wish we could go back to the previous day (or a few days) to complete those we missed the first time. Also, those annoying ads at the end of each game add to the tune completed; if it rakes 135 to complete a puzzle, then we watch a few seconds of the ad, our total time is reflected as the time we needed to complete the puzzle as well as the amount of time we spent on the ad.
We just got the first malware ad on this app: Security notification Your phones memory is already having 13% damage. Ad goes on to urge action because all datawill be available to third parties if not installed. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS!,,.
We have been looking for these kind of puzzles. We love it.
So far so good! This game is a good replacement for our crossword books for now.
We really find this game very relaxing. There is one thing we would like to suggest and that is a pause button for when the phone rings, or the kids are trading your youngest on line for a puppy.
At long last, an app version of the old pencil and paper version of Fill-ins. We absolutely love this app. We just wish there was an ad-free version.
Big variety of puzzles. Plus the check puzzle feature is helpful. Not many Fill In games have it.
We downloaded this puzzle about 2-3 hours ago. We are hooked, we dont want to put it down. Its easy, but thats what we like. Thank you for this puzzle.
This game is addictive. It has several levels to let you choose the level of difficulty and you can switch between the levels. It also has limited and reasonable advertising. We are really enjoying it.
It would be great if you could go back and solve the puzzles you somehow missed. Thats the primary reason we dont play Wordle.
It would be nice to have a Reset button.
Dumbest thing ever no clues and once you put a word in there is no changing it.
We like to be able to play games that will open on side way screen. It says it works on this ipad, but yet it only fits up and down screen Can this be forrected.
You cant pass easy #127 theres too many words and not enough spaces thats not right.
Great way to relax and use your brain. Great for seniors.
Three stars because the app isnt buggy and its well put together. However, we slowly started noticing that it was using words that are used in our YouTube and Google searches, and eventually found ourselves looking at words from our messages. Within like 10 minutes. That stresses us out, and just want people to be informed of our experience.
Addictive, relaxing game with many puzzles to keep your brain active! We only wish there is a landscape mode.
They dont even number the clues or the squares! No way to tell even where to start . We were looking for something fun and relaxing. This isnt it.
We enjoy fill-in puzzles and the app plays perfectly. Easy to use, good user interface and loads of puzzles included. Would definitely recommend.
We just love doing puzzles all day and night it really keep so relax they are really a good relaxers from stress we do have a bad heart but your fill in puzzles keep us so relax thank you thank you so much.
Ive never done these, and its great fun.
These puzzles are simple and relaxing. Yet they keep your mind active. We really enjoy playing the game.
Ive loved fill ins since we were little. Im not smart enough for crosswords and word searches give us headaches and tired eyes. We will say they are a little (sometimes a lot) easier than their levels suggest. Easy and medium are way too easy and hard is more like medium and some easy. They are also mostly not very big, which is understandable since its on a phone screen. Its still fun to pass the time and easy to play (where to tap and such) so we have it four stars. It loses a star for not being as challenging as we would want.
This puzzle is not challenging at all but very good when you need to get your mind off an stressful time.
It would be nice to see some stats for comparison.
Bombs out halfway through puzzle. Shut off iPad, booted up, and still bombs out. We have to start over.
We love this game. It is a great time passer.
So far there have been a couple of puzzles that could close as there was one left with no planks to fill. Good time passer.
Great & challenging lots of fun to exercise your brain.
Having 2 levels of difficulty to choose from on the daily puzzles is nice because we can choose one based on the amount of time we have available. Easy to navigate and play.
Really enjoy the challenge of this app. We have done a few of the hard puzzles and we figured out a strategy on how to get thru it. Have recommended to a few others who we think would enjoy the app.
Just got this game, but we love it so far.
What am we doing wrong? We thought we got 2 puzzles per day, one easy, one hard….it has todays date, but no new puzzles, just the completion times from the puzzles yesterday…..there are more puzzles below, it we like the daily easy and harder daily ones….. Overall, we really like the game…..challenging, nice size, easy to read…..just please let us know what we need to do to get 2 new puzzles per day! Thanks.
We really like Fill-Ins and this fits. We can spend hours in it.
We were unsure if we would like this version but now we cannot stop playing.
Different way to play crossword puzzle but Im enjoying it.
We got to give it a 4 star because there a glitch on the app. With the daily puzzle on the hard on, we tried it a couple of different times and there one of the words doesn't fix so can't finish the puzzle. Other then that it's a great game.
Ive been a fan of Fill-Ins since we were a kid. So when we came across this app, we weighed it in the amount of puzzles. Trust us, there are PLENTY of puzzles, on 4 different levels! Thank you for giving us enough on the free version to keep us playing everyday. Its also nice to play a quick round before our next meeting. Just quick enough that it doesnt seem like Im ignoring everyone in the office (or at home!) we will definitely be purchasing all the rest for $8.99.
This app completely makes up words. "Sended" and "deers" are not words. Please use actual words when creating a word-based game.
Its really cool and sorta challenging.
Awesome, keep our mind occupied. Thanks.
This is so much fun! The hard and expert puzzles are the perfect challenge for us. It requires a little brain power but it's addictive.
We love these fill in puzzles. The challenges are great. Please design more apps, we used to buy the magazines Thanks for these.
This is a well done all inclusive game, just challenging to keep you coming back for more.
We recently switched from a Samsung s8 to iPhone 6 and downloaded the app on both. The Samsung version lets you customize the fill in puzzle with different colors and also the ability to turn off the vibrate for when you accidentally hit the wrong key. Also the iPhone version seems touchier. Like when we are trying to hit the box in the top right it takes us to the list of puzzles. Multiple times the timer on the puzzle started at 1 minute instead of 0 seconds. And the timer is incorrect. We took a picture but we dont know how to upload here or if we can but it says we finish the puzzle in 49 seconds on the puzzle itself but the pop up that says how we did says 51 seconds. Its always a few seconds off and that is aggravating since we didnt notice any of these issues on the Samsung version.
