Know the goal in Crossword
Bring your attention to one round of Crossword. Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Solve 24 connected 15×15 layouts with 11–20 entries each. Use the original English clues and scroll the board on narrow screens; completed layouts may appear again.
A focus for your next round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
What you are aiming for
Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The order of play
- Choose a numbered Across or Down clue to highlight its answer.
- Select a square and type a letter, or use the on-screen alphabet.
- Shared letters belong to both crossing answers. Selecting a shared square twice changes direction.
- Use Check entries to review entered letters. Reveal selected supplies one letter and counts as help.
- Complete every open square to solve the puzzle. Dark squares are not filled.
Using the playing area
Select a clue or square. Use your physical keyboard or the on-screen letters, Erase, Check entries and Reveal selected. Scroll within the board on a narrow screen. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.
Follow the example
For the clue “A book of blank or lined pages for writing”, the answer is NOTEBOOK. It occupies 8 squares, and each crossing uses the same letter. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
A useful caution
Do not fill dark squares. A letter that fits one answer must also fit the crossing clue. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
