Read before your next round of Crossword
Start Crossword by looking at the playing area and its controls. Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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 small practice goal
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Making selections and moves
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Follow the example
For the clue “A chart showing days, weeks and months”, the answer is CALENDAR. It occupies 8 squares, and each crossing uses the same letter. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Keep this in mind
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. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
