USA TODAY Crossword Challenge has finally been released on the Nintendo DS from publisher Destineer. Boasting 300 puzzles for both Spanish and American speakers this one game contains almost half a year’s worth of daily newspaper’s crosswords. With two types of interface, written letter recognition and standard keyboard (for people like me with terrible handwriting), USA TODAY Crosswords Challenge promises to be easy to use as well.
