Crosswords, without drawing a single grid.
Crossword turns a list of answers and clues into a crossword on your site. You see the grid as you type, and can ask for another layout until you like it. Players type a name and race the server's clock; checking a word or guessing wrong costs time, so the fastest clean solve wins.
What Crossword does for you
The grid builds itself
Type answers and clues; the grid is laid out live. Not keen? Ask for another layout.
Against the clock
The server keeps the time. Checks and wrong guesses add seconds, as you choose.
Leaderboards
Fastest solvers by day, week, month or all time, each name once.
Hints, if you like
Fill one letter of the chosen word, for a few seconds on the clock.
Personal best and Share
Players see their best time and can share it.
Export and import
Move crosswords to another site; the grid is laid out again to match.
