How to play

  1. Tap a square, then type or tap letters to answer the highlighted clue. The clue for the selected word is shown above the grid.
  2. Tap the same square again to switch between the across and down word. Tap a clue in the lists to jump to it.
  3. Where an across word and a down word cross they share a letter, so each answer helps with the ones it crosses.
  4. Fill every square correctly to finish. A new daily puzzle arrives every day, and the thirty levels can be played in any order.

Controls: mouse, touch or keyboard. Made by CalcoTools.

Tips and strategy

  • Start with the clues you are sure of. Every letter you place gives the crossing words a head start.
  • Check the number of letters shown beside the clue: it rules out many wrong answers.
  • Short three-letter words are often the easiest way into a corner.
  • If a crossing word will not fit, the other answer is probably wrong. Rub it out and try again.

FAQ

Are the clues cryptic?
No. They are plain definitions or descriptions, written for this game.
Why does the daily grid sometimes look turned on its side?
Each stored grid can also be shown turned on its side, with across and down swapped, which doubles the number of puzzles.
Do I have to finish in one go?
No. Your progress is kept while the page is open, and the daily result is saved when you finish.
