Answer 1

Crossword.

• Create a grid of XbyX.
• Define your answers in an array.
• Need some algorithm to fit the words into the grid (maths not programming).
• Have some type of mapping from this array to the grid.
• Draw the grid. (Draw natively with NDK or use Layouts your choice)
• Black out the unused squares.
• Allow each square clickable to bring up the keyboard.
• Compare a filled word length with its responding array word.
• Win / Lose.

Is this how basic you wanted to go?
