Play Crossword with the rules at hand
Bring your attention to one round of Crossword. 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.
Something to practise
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
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. Notice how the game responds to your input.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Your inputs
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.
Work through an example
For “The planet on which we live” with five squares, enter EARTH. Any crossing answer must use the same letter at the shared square. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.
One detail worth checking
Do not fill dark squares. A letter that fits one answer must also fit the crossing clue. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
