Everything you might want to know about Endless Mini Cross. New to the game? Start with how to play.
A free game of small 5x5 crosswords, one after another. Every solved puzzle is worth 100 points, and beating the three-minute clock earns a bonus point for every second left.
It's free, and you can play straight away as a guest. An account is optional: it saves your scores and shows your stats on your profile.
Each solved puzzle is worth 100 points. Solve it before its three-minute clock runs out and you also get a bonus point for every second left. So a puzzle solved with a minute to spare is worth 160 points.
Nothing dramatic: you can keep going and still get the 100 points for solving the puzzle, just no bonus. The next puzzle starts with a fresh clock.
Whenever you like. Press Give up to see the answer to the puzzle you're on, and your run ends with the points you've scored. Logged in, that's when your score is saved.
As soon as every square is filled, your answer is checked. If something's wrong, the game says so and the clock keeps running, so look for the word that doesn't fit and fix it.
Tap a square to select it, and tap it again to switch between across and down. You can also tap the clue bar to switch, or use its arrows to jump between clues. On a keyboard, the arrow keys move, Tab or Enter goes to the next clue, and Space switches direction.
No. The clock runs on our server, so it keeps going while the page is closed. Your run is still there when you come back, but the bonus time may be gone.
Not in the same run, until you've played every puzzle in the game.
When a run ends, press Share. It creates a row of coloured squares, one for each puzzle: green for a quick solve, yellow for a steady one, orange for a close call and white for a solve after the clock ran out. There are no letters, so it doesn't spoil anything.
Every puzzle is built from a hand-picked list of common English words, each with its own clue. Clues are kept short and friendly, so a grid takes a minute or two.
