Crossword.

Read the Across and Down clues, then click or tap the matching squares on the grid and type the letters. Use Tab to switch between words, Check to highlight errors, and Reveal to show answers. The puzzle is complete when every letter is correct.

Every white square must contain a letter. Black squares separate words and cannot be filled. Clues are numbered and grouped by Across and Down. Letters must match at every intersection. You may use Reveal and Check as often as needed.

Yes. The Reveal button shows the correct letters for the currently selected word or for the entire grid. Using Reveal does not end the game, but it does prevent you from earning a personal best time if you rely on it heavily.

Check compares every letter you have typed against the correct answer. Correct letters turn green, incorrect letters turn red, and empty cells stay white. Check does not fill in missing letters; it only highlights errors so you can fix them yourself.

Start with the shortest clues, because short words have fewer possible answers and they unlock intersecting letters for longer words. Fill in the easy wins first, then use those letters to crack the harder clues.

Yes. Tap any cell to select it, then use the on-screen keyboard to type. The layout is responsive and works on phones and tablets. Arrow buttons let you navigate without a physical keyboard.

Yes. A timer starts when you make your first letter entry and stops when the puzzle is complete. Your best time is saved locally and shown before each new puzzle. Using Reveal does not stop the timer, so be mindful if you are chasing a fast record.

When every letter matches the correct answer, the game shows a congratulations message, your total solve time, and whether you beat your previous best. You can then start a new puzzle with a fresh grid and new clues.

Each puzzle is assembled from a curated word list and designed to have a unique solution with no ambiguous intersections. The grids and clues are generated fresh every time, so no two puzzles are identical.

Yes. You can fill words in any order. Click any clue to jump directly to its starting square, or click any white square on the grid to select the word it belongs to. There is no required sequence.

Numbers correspond to the starting square of each word. Across and Down words that share the same starting square have the same number. The numbering runs left to right, top to bottom, following standard crossword convention.

First, fill in the letters you already know from intersecting words. If that is not enough, click Reveal for that specific word to see the answer. You can also use Check to confirm which letters in the word are correct without revealing the full answer.

Yes. Crossword runs in the browser with no downloads, no accounts, and no cost. Open the page, read the clues, and start typing. Your best times and progress are saved locally on your device.

Memorize common short words, learn crossword conventions such as abbreviations and wordplay, and always check intersecting letters before committing to an answer. Practice with easier puzzles first to build confidence before tackling harder grids.

Yes. Once the page has loaded, the game runs entirely in your browser. Scores and best times are saved locally, so you can play without an internet connection until you refresh or close the tab.

A good clue is concise, accurate, and has only one answer that fits the grid. It may use wordplay such as anagrams, homophones, or hidden words, but it never tricks the solver with unfair ambiguity. The best clues make you smile when you finally see the answer.
