Understand the aim
Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How to proceed
- Choose a numbered Across or Down clue to highlight its answer.
- Select a square and type a letter, or use the on-screen alphabet.
- Shared letters belong to both crossing answers. Selecting a shared square twice changes direction.
- Use Check entries to review entered letters. Reveal selected supplies one letter and counts as help.
- Complete every open square to solve the puzzle. Dark squares are not filled.
Controls
Select a clue or square. Use your physical keyboard or the on-screen letters, Erase, Check entries and Reveal selected. Scroll within the board on a narrow screen. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A closer look at one example
For the clue “A very high natural elevation of land”, the answer is MOUNTAIN. It occupies 8 squares, and each crossing uses the same letter. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Do not fill dark squares. A letter that fits one answer must also fit the crossing clue. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
