About the game

The archive holds 120 English crosswords: easy 7×7, medium 9×9 and hard 11×11. Answers are everyday nouns, with no names, brands or obscure terms. Short clues keep the game friendly, while crossings make a wrong letter easy to spot. The active word is always highlighted, so you never lose your place.
Play free and without registration on a phone or a computer. Your unfinished crossword is saved automatically: close the page and come back to the same letters. Reveal letter and Check word help when a clue is stubborn, and one extra hint is available for a voluntary ad view. There are no purchases and no forced videos.
How to play:
Tap Daily crossword on the first screen to start at once. The numbered grid is at the top, the active clue sits on the panel below it, and the on-screen keyboard is underneath. Tap Clues to open the full lists: Across and Down.
Tap a clue or a cell to select a word. Tap an intersection cell again to switch direction. Type on the on-screen keyboard; on a computer the normal letter keys, Backspace, arrows and Enter work too. Reveal letter puts the right letter into the current cell. Check word flashes wrong letters red for a moment without erasing them. Each run gives three reveals and three checks.
A crossword is solved when every word is right. Give up shows the result but keeps your letters, so you can continue from the same place. Play again starts a clean grid. The archive has easy, medium and hard crosswords, and all 120 are open at once — no locks. Language and sound live in Settings.

Tips
- First go through all the clues and fill in the answers you're sure of: that gives you anchor letters.
- Start with short words — they have fewer options, and their letters open up the long answers they cross.
- If a crossing letter doesn't fit the second word, the mistake is almost always in one of the two — check both.
- Check word highlights mistakes without erasing letters: use it before revealing a letter.
- Start with easy 7×7 crosswords and move on to hard 11×11 ones once you solve the easy ones without hints.
- Solve the daily crossword every day — the streak breaks if you miss even a single day.
