NY Times Crossword Mobile - 2005
Role: Interaction Design
I designed the mobile version of the popular crossword game, supporting two styles of game play within a 124x165 pixel screen size.
Challenge + Constraints: The main challenge was to design an accurate and engaging version of the popular crossword game for non smart phones, within a 124x165 pixel screen size. User insights also revealed that users play in two alternate ways, by first choosing a clue from the list or by first selecting a number in the puzzle.
Results: This mobile version of the crossword supports both styles of play by providing the abilty to toggle between the list of clues and the numbered squares.
