Simply Sweet Games has officially released Criss Cross Castle, an enchanting new puzzle game where you harness the magic of words in a whimsical fantasy world. As someone who firmly believes in the power of language to save the day, I'm delighted to see that concept brought to life so literally—and I absolutely love it.
In Criss Cross Castle, you set off on a grand adventure to reclaim stolen words and confront villains while playing as an endearing young witch. The antagonists are known as the Illiterati—and honestly, if that name alone doesn't spark your curiosity, I don't know what will.
All joking aside, the game offers a wealth of clever word puzzles to untangle and hidden rewards to discover, complemented by roguelite mechanics that make every playthrough unique. The vocabulary-based challenges grow more complex as you progress, and whenever you need a breather, you can enjoy a variety of mini-games and special side-quests that serve as perfect interludes.

You also get to pick your protagonist—either the spellcasting Wanda or Pip the squire—adding a meaningful narrative layer to your journey.
