Crosswords without the clutter

Every puzzle here is free and opens straight into the grid. There is no account to make, no trial to start, and nothing interrupting you halfway through a clue. Pick a puzzle, solve it, close the tab.

Grids are compact on purpose. A ten minute puzzle you actually finish beats a sprawling one you abandon, and the clues favour plain definitions and light wordplay over obscure trivia.

Find your pace

The Easy Collection is the gentlest way in, with direct clues and small grids that climb gradually. Normal mixes approachable answers with clues that make you think twice, and Hard packs denser grids with clues that come at you sideways.

Prefer a routine? The Daily Crossword is one new puzzle every day, each keeping its own dated link. Never solved one before? The beginner's guide covers the few habits that make it click. And when solving alone loses its appeal, you can race a friend on the same grid in a private room.
