Free Online Arrowwords, New Puzzles Every Week
Arrowwords — also known as fléchés in France and autodefinidos in Spain — are the compact European cousin of the crossword: the clues live inside the grid itself, and a small arrow tells you which way the answer runs. No numbered lists, no separate clue column, just you and the board.
Every arrowword here is free to play online, directly in your browser on desktop, tablet or phone. Pick a small grid for a coffee break or a large one for a longer sit-down — we add new free online arrowwords every week.
What Are Arrowwords?
An arrowword is a crossword with the clues printed inside the grid: each clue sits in its own cell, and a small arrow shows where the answer starts and which way it runs. No numbered list, no separate clue column — everything you need is on the board.
How to Solve an Arrowword
Start with the short answers and the clues you are certain about, then let the crossing letters open up the rest of the grid. Follow the arrows, fill letter by letter, and come back to a stuck corner later — that is usually where the answer is hiding.
