FREE DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE
One of the most popular puzzles, crosswords have been around for over a century in one form or another. It’s your job to correctly answer a set of Across and Down clues and fit them into a grid which is divided up using black squares. The most common crossword is the ‘quick’ or ‘straight’, but ‘cryptic’ crosswords also have a loyal following. Once you’re up to speed with the straight sort why not try and conquer a cryptic?
How to solve a Crossword
Solving crosswords is like mental gymnastics and improves your cognitive ability - plus it's relaxing and fun. They're super easy to start, but tricky to finish.
The clues are numbered, Across and Down, to signify which direction the word goes. When completing a crossword, the goal is to solve every clue and enter every letter and word on the grid.
