Crosswords Plus is coming to 3DS in both retail and download form on October 1.

The sequel to Crosswords DS, a 2008 release, Crosswords Plus features more than 1,000 puzzles, including humongous Giant Crosswords. The puzzles are spread out across several difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert) and use a hint system in case players get stuck. The game is controlled in a simple and easy-to-digest manner, as you view the whole puzzle on the top screen, and navigate through it using the touch screen, writing in letters in squares using the stylus.

StreetPass and SpotPass are both supported, allowing you to download new puzzles and share puzzles with friends. Crosswords Plus also features additional word games, such as Wordsearch, Anagrams, and Word of the Day. The latter of which seems to be as simple as that: it gives you a word of the day and some fun facts about said word. 

The Word of the Day also expands to two other modes. In Word Paths, players fill in blank boxes until the puzzle is complete, beginning with the word of the day. In Word Quiz, players are tested on what they learned about the word of the day.

Crosswords DS was developed by NST, and it is likely they are making this game. However, we're not sure who is developing it right now.
