Questions
Is it the same puzzle for everyone?
Yes. Today’s puzzle is built from the date, so friends and family who open it on the same day get the same grid and clues. A new one appears at midnight on your device’s clock.
How hard are the clues?
Straightforward definitions, not cryptic wordplay: for example “It runs on rails” for TRAIN. It is a good first crossword for children and people learning English.
Is my progress saved?
Yes. The letters you type and your time are kept in this browser, so you can come back later the same day and carry on.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.
Is it free?
Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
