Puzzazz offers an ad-free bookstore with a wide range of FREE puzzles, including new daily KenKen® and hand-crafted Sudoku puzzles. It is the only app that faithfully presents the print edition of the NYT Crossword. According to NYT editor Will Shortz, Puzzazz is the only app capable of handling almost any New York Times crossword trick. The TouchWrite™ handwriting recognition feature enhances the solving experience, especially on small screens, adding to the unique and optimized user experience designed by puzzle enthusiasts.

Puzzazz has received high praise from various sources. The New York Times describes it as "snazzy," WIRED calls it "groundbreaking," and GeekWire considers the TouchWrite technology to be "awesome." Reviewers rave about Puzzazz, describing it as "fantastic" and the "best way" to do the NYT crossword.

The bookstore offers over a hundred ebooks containing hand-crafted puzzles of various types. Users can try out the free puzzles in each ebook and then purchase the remaining puzzles if they enjoy them. Sales of puzzle ebooks not only benefit the authors but also contribute to keeping the app ad-free and providing high-quality puzzles for everyone.

At Puzzazz, users have access to thousands of puzzles created by world-class authors. Each ebook starts with free puzzles, allowing users to try them before making a purchase.

The reviews of Puzzazz are outstanding, with praise for the company's dedication to quality puzzles and the groundbreaking TouchWrite technology.

The selection of books is highly appreciated, satisfying puzzle enthusiasts of all types.

Puzzazz is optimized for a seamless puzzle-solving experience. The app takes into account how users solve puzzles, offering features like patent-pending TouchWrite handwriting recognition, support for Bluetooth keyboards, and on-screen keyboards designed specifically for different types of puzzles. Users can effortlessly switch between "pen" and "pencil" input using an Apple Pencil or 3D Touch. Left-handed and color-blind users are also catered to. The app supports Split View and Slide Over, allowing users to multitask while solving puzzles.

Puzzazz ensures a user-friendly interface by displaying the complete puzzle along with both Across and Down clues simultaneously, regardless of device orientation or selected options like showing Answer Boxes. The app supports various author and editor tricks, such as unusual grids or clues. Additional features include automatic clue and cross-reference highlighting, easy entry for rebus puzzles (multiple letters in one square), built-in hinting with smart hinting for cryptics, note-taking functionality, and cell marking. Users can time themselves, compare their solving times on the puzzle leaderboards, rate puzzles they solve, and analyze how their ratings compare with others.

Puzzazz's powerful puzzle engine sets it apart as the best app for all types of puzzles, many of which were previously only available on paper. Puzzle types range from crosswords (including cryptic and variety crosswords, diagramless crosswords), acrostics, cryptograms, word puzzles, Sudoku, KenKen, logic puzzles, Mentagy, mystery puzzles, and more. Users can also explore special collections like the Year of Puzzles, Maze of Games, Cryptic All-Stars, and Variety Show.
