Word v2.1
Cross Trivia is a no-timer word puzzle with 2,000 levels, offline play, and light brain-training fun. It includes crossword-style clues, a secret word per level, and honest limitations like US-centric trivia. Works on Android 7.0+ after a 120MB install.
Cross Trivia is a word-puzzle app that blends crossword grids with general-knowledge questions, offering over 2,000 levels for Android phones and tablets. You fill in answers by tackling clues, and each correct solution moves you closer to a secret word. There's no timer, so it works as a calm brain-training option for commutes, waiting rooms, or late-night sessions.
Early levels ease you in with straightforward synonyms and one-word fill-ins. Around level 40, the clues start mixing geography, science, and old movie references, so the difficulty isn't predictable. In my testing, the first ten levels feel genuinely easy, but later grids demand more than vocabulary recall. The developer advertises 2,000 levels, and each solved answer gradually reveals a secret word. It's not a speed test. There aren't any penalties for wrong guesses, which makes the app feel more like a puzzle book than a competitive game.
You don't need Wi-Fi or mobile data once the game is installed. For that reason, this is a practical choice for airplane flights, basement commutes, and rural areas where signal drops. The app lists Android 7.0 as the minimum version and takes up about 120MB after installation. I found the offline mode reliable during a long bus ride, though the startup screen briefly waited for a failed network check before loading the level menu. If you download an APK from a third-party mirror, inspect the requested permissions first; a puzzle app doesn't need access to your contacts or call logs.
Cross Trivia doesn't explain the reasoning behind an answer. If you're trying to learn from a wrong guess, you'll have to open a separate dictionary or search engine. The scenery backgrounds are attractive static images, but they don't change with day or weather. Some trivia also carries a US-centric tilt, so players outside that culture may face questions that feel unanswerable. If your goal is deep word history, a dedicated etymology app is the better fit.
Does the app require an internet connection to play?
No. The levels, background images, and clue data are stored locally after the initial install, so offline play works.
Are the 2,000 levels all different?
Many grids reuse common short answers, but the clue text changes enough to keep the puzzle feel fresh. The final secret word gives each level a distinct goal.
Can Cross Trivia be played on a tablet?
Yes. The layout scales to both phones and tablets. In the current version, the clue panel keeps a fixed width, so larger screens gain background space rather than more readable clues.
