Click a cell to start typing. Letters auto-advance to the next cell. Click the same cell again — or press Space — to toggle between across and down. The active clue shows above the keyboard.

How are the puzzles built?

Each puzzle is generated from a hand-authored clue dictionary by a constraint-satisfaction solver, then every entry is verified to have a real clue. Today's bank: 60 puzzles.
