Cross Numbers is fill-in type puzzles using numbers. In case you don't know what a Fill-In puzzle is it is like a crossword puzzle but instead of clues it gives you a list of words or numbers that you place in the crossword grid. The letters or numbers themselves help you determine exactly where the words or numbers go. You place the numbers by dragging them from the right to where you think they go in the grid.

The way the game is set up on the computer it is even more challenging because it only shows you one 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 digit number at a time. You can cycle through each of sets one at a time though until you come to the one you think will fit. An example is if you need an 8 digit number that has the number 5 as the next to last digit then you can cycle through the 8 digit numbers until you find the one that matches your criteria but remember there may be more than one that has 5 as the seventh digit. The game keeps track of how many of each digit set is left like 10 3 digit numbers and so on. For those of you who think that cycling through the numbers would be too confusing you can always print them up and solve them on paper.

This game can be pretty addictive. It is easy to use and the help file explains what to do for those who are new to these type of puzzles. The shareware version has 5 of the 32,000 puzzles of the registered version. Compared to the price of the fill-in puzzle books this game is a bargain.
