Cryptolexo, the hidden crossword puzzle, combines entertainment with knowledge. Within the matrix of letters, significant words are hidden. Once a word is discovered, multimedia information about it is displayed. The system uses a touch screen. Users can find the hidden words on the touch screen by dragging their finger from the start to the end of each word or, alternatively, by touching each word’s first and last letter.
