About the project

Cross+A is a utility tool designed to solve crosswords, anagrams and other logical puzzles. The project is positioned as a way to quickly cope with tasks that often cause irritation or make you doubt your own abilities. The program was initially popular in Russia, and is now available internationally as a multilingual version.

Developers - Sergey Kutasov and Ilya Morozov. The main goal of the software is to simplify the process of finding answers, eliminating the need for the user to search for words manually for a long time. The program database contains about 159 thousand English words, some of which are provided with descriptions. The user can not only search, but also edit the dictionary: add new words, delete old ones, or change their meanings.

Main directions

The site offers a wide range of tools for working with text and logic. This is not just a search by letter, but a whole range of functions for different types of tasks:

• Search by letter and length. You can find a word by knowing its length and specific letters.
• Anagram. There are two modes: Top-Down (creating all possible words from a set of letters) and Bottom-Up (searching for words containing all letters of the source text). For example, for the word ielementi the program will find isettlementi or idevelopmenti.
• Search by description. Useful when the crossword puzzle contains familiar words.
• Search by pattern. Using special wildcard characters.
• Compound words. The program tries to break a long word into parts. For example, iincrediblei can be represented as inice + bridlei.
• Phone number. Finds words that match numbers on the phone keypad. The numbers 728-74-68 turn into the word iPATRIOTI.
• Search by syllables. Assembling words from a given list of syllables.
• Concatenation of words. Search for pairs where the end of the first word coincides with the beginning of the second (for example, iPATHOGENi and iGENESISi).
• Trackword. Search for words that can be formed by moving horizontally or vertically along the grid.
• Cryptoarithmetic. Solving math puzzles where numbers are replaced by letters. The equation iMOTHER+FATHERPARENTi can have a solution of 196753+286753483506.
• Chains of words. Search for sequences where each next word differs from the previous one by one or more letters.
