The Crossword playbook
Bring your attention to one round of Crossword. Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. Use the example below to understand a decision. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
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.
Practice with a purpose
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your objective
Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Step by step
- 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. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
For the clue “A very high natural elevation of land”, the answer is MOUNTAIN. It occupies 8 squares, and each crossing uses the same letter. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
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.
