MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME

First visit?
You’re in the right place.

Start small. You don’t need an account, a book, or a perfect answer to enjoy the free daily mini.

What can I play for free?

The daily mini crossword and its released archive are free online, without a login or email signup. Each mini keeps its own saved progress.

Will my progress still be here?

Your answers save in this browser on this device, not in an account. Clearing site data, using private browsing, or changing devices can remove or separate progress.

What is Book access?

It opens the existing tester-code preview of the full book collections. If you already have a tester code, use it there. It is separate from daily play, Amazon purchases, and the optional email list.

BACK FOR YOUR BOOKS?

Your place is still here.

Use Book access for the same code-protected collections. Your existing book progress stays in this browser.

FIRST TIME? YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

A small puzzle. No rush.

  1. Pick a clue. Tap a clue or an empty square. Tap a crossing again to change direction.
  2. Fill in a word. Tap a square to type with your physical keyboard. On a touchscreen, tapping a square opens your device keyboard. Spaces and punctuation are ignored.
  3. Take a little help. Check marks incorrect filled letters. Reveal fills the selected letter. Both count as help on your result.

Arrow keys move around the grid. Tab from the grid moves to the next clue; Shift+Tab goes back. Escape leaves the grid. There’s no timer or score to chase.

Every white square belongs to an across and a down answer. Crossings give you a second way in.

KEPT SIMPLE

Your pause is yours.
