Learn the rules of Crossword
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Crossword. Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. 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.
One thing to notice as you play
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. Make the next step deliberately.
What the game asks you to do
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. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
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. Look at the feedback after the action.
Try this 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. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
Check this before moving on
Do not fill dark squares. A letter that fits one answer must also fit the crossing clue. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
