A crossword is a grid of interlocking words with a numbered clue for each one: you solve across and down, and every letter you place narrows down its crossing answer. Friendly definitions, no obscure trivia — just wordplay you can reason your way through.
Every crossword here is free to play online, directly in your browser on desktop, tablet or phone. Take a small grid on a coffee break or a full-size one at your own pace — we add new free online crossword puzzles every week.
What Is a Crossword?
A grid of interlocking words with one numbered clue per answer, solved across and down. Every letter you write belongs to two answers at once, so each clue you crack opens up the ones crossing it — that is the whole trick.
How to Solve a Crossword
Start with the fill-in-the-blank clues and the short answers you are sure about, then use the crossing letters to crack the longer ones. Plurals, tenses and question marks are hints in themselves — and a stuck corner usually gives in after a short break.
