The challenge in front of you
Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
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.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A closer look at one 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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Notice this detail
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. 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.
