A generic crossword game, sponsored by the british tabloid The Sun. It is one of six crossword games that use the same "base".

Unused Graphics

logo.NCGR is an early version of the Sanuk Software logo, which is a leftover from the original Mots Croisés.

Medieval Theme

The following are leftovers from the Medieval theme seen in Mots Croisés. More specifically, the graphics come from an unreleased English version listed as Crossword Challenge in Sanuk Software's website, before it went through sponsorship deals.

Revisional Differences

Two revisions of the game are known to exist, under different publishers. However, the only major difference is in the game's music; while the old version uses the music from Mots Croisés, the new one uses songs taken from Mots Croisés 2, alongside some original tunes. Do note that the success, failure and new record jingles are the same, barring the different soundfonts.
