How to play Crossword Puzzle
Each level is a small crossword built from up to six words, and the clues are the words’ meanings. Type a letter in each square and check your answers whenever you like; the puzzle is complete when every word is right.
- Choose a difficulty and level.
- Click a clue or a square to start typing. The arrow keys move around the grid and Backspace goes back.
- Press Check Answers to see which letters are right (green) and wrong (red), and keep going until every word is correct.
- A solved puzzle scores 15 points per word. Reveal shows all the answers but ends the round without points.
What you practise
- Recalling words from their definitions
- Spelling: every letter has to fit the grid
- Word length and letter patterns
- Using crossing letters to solve harder clues
Levels, stars and saving your progress
Crossword Puzzle has 74 levels: 24 at Basic, 31 at Intermediate and 19 at Advanced, with a crossword of up to 6 words in each. Levels unlock in order: pass one to open the next.
The puzzle is complete when every word is right, which passes the level with three stars and scores 15 points per word. Revealing the answers ends the round without passing the level, so you can try again.
Your stars and unlocked levels are saved in this browser as you play. Sign in or create a free account to save them to your account as well, so you can carry on from another device. Every level you finish also appears on your dashboard, with a report of every answer.
Frequently asked questions
Is the puzzle the same every time?
Yes. Each level always has the same words and grid, so you can come back to a puzzle and finish it.
Why do some puzzles have fewer than six words?
A word is only placed where it can cross another word in the grid, so a word that shares no letters with the others is left out of that puzzle.
Is Crossword Puzzle free?
Yes. All 74 levels are free, and you don’t need an account to play.
Is my progress saved?
Yes. Your stars and unlocked levels are saved in this browser as you play. Sign in with a free account and they are saved to your account too, so you can carry on from another device.
