About this crossword puzzle
A mini crossword puzzle that builds a fresh interlocking grid every time you play. Words are drawn from a built-in clue bank and woven together so they cross and share letters, then numbered with Across and Down clue lists just like a newspaper crossword. Click a cell or a clue to select an answer, type the letters, and click a highlighted cell again to switch between Across and Down. The grid scales with difficulty - roughly five words on easy up to a fuller 11×11-and-under grid on hard. Use Check to flag any wrong letters or Reveal to fill in the solution. No signup, no download, nothing uploaded.
