About Crossword

A compact crossword you can finish in a coffee break. Read the across and down clues, type your answers into the grid, and use the letters you already have to crack the ones you cannot get straight away. A proper word workout without the commitment of a full newspaper puzzle.

How to play

• Tap a numbered square to select that clue.
• Type your answer into the highlighted cells.
• Tap again to switch between the across and down clue on the same square.
• Crossing letters from solved words narrow down the rest.
• Fill every square correctly to complete the grid.

Controls: Tap a square and type. The on-screen keyboard works on phones.

Tips

• Do the short answers first — three and four letter words are usually the easiest way in.
• Fill the crossing letters you are sure about before committing to a long answer.
• If a clue reads oddly, it may be asking for a plural or a past tense — check the letter count.
