A clean layout plus thousands of free downloadable puzzles — from New York Times stumpers to People's self-esteem boosters — make this the best crossword app for the iPad. Uncertain players will appreciate the ability to "pencil in" guesses, and the faux-paper background will make traditionalists feel at home.

WIRED NYT subscribers can download current crosswords in-app. Can check answers for single clues or entire puzzles.

TIRED No landscape mode. Can't sort puzzles by difficulty.
