Crypto Scramble is a word scramble game that presents players with 4 jumbled words. Evidently, their task is to unscramble them into the correct spellings. The app uses an extensive dictionary in English, Spanish, and Russian.

Crypto Hunter is a square-based puzzle title where the player solves the mystifier by finding all the hidden words, forwards, backwards, and diagonally. According to the app's makers, the big word square is not recommended for individuals with big fingers, since the cases are greater in number, thus smaller in size. English, Russian, and Spanish are supported.

Crypto Cupid, on the other hand, is “a game of logic,” Cryptocybernetics says. “The goal is to mend all the broken hearts. Just know that every heart you touch affects those around it, and sometimes you have to break a heart for a while to mend all the hearts,” the description goes.

The fact that the Crypto Game Mix pack includes the developer's latest released title, Crypto Hexapawn, an artificial intelligence-based learning application, is also noted by Cryptocybernetics. “It shows how machine intelligence ( or AI ) in a simple form can evolve as the iPhone in combination with the App learns to play the game; learning from its mistakes to become the superior player,” the developer adds.
