Reception
Joshi Shaan of Nintendo Life rated the game a 6/10, stating that "the game's biggest draw is the wide selection of puzzles", but criticizing it for its lack of new additions and changes from the original game. Giving the game an 8/10, Nintendo World Reports Neal Ronaghan praised the game's variety of puzzles, but criticized it for its faulty letter recognition. Amy Kraft of Wired described Crosswords Plus as one of several games "worth checking out", calling it a "serviceable game that provides a fun diversion for a wide range of people", and praising the fact that both she and her 7-year-old could find challenge in it.
