How to play

Each puzzle is a small 5x5 crossword with a handful of easy clues. Fill it in before the clock runs out, then do it again, and again.

  1. Fill in the grid

    Tap a square, or a clue, and type. The clue bar shows the clue for the highlighted word. Tap the same square again, or press Enter, to switch between across and down.

  2. Solve it for points

    When every square is filled, your answer is checked. If something's wrong, keep fixing until it's right. Every solved puzzle is worth 100 points. Press Next puzzle when you're ready for the next one: its clock starts then.

  3. Beat the clock for a bonus

    Each puzzle has a 3-minute clock. Solve it in time and every second left is a bonus point. Once the clock runs out you can still solve it, just without the bonus.

  4. Stop whenever you like

    The run lasts as long as you want. Stuck? Give up to see the answer and end the run with your points. Log in to save your scores to your profile.
