The challenge in front of you
Fill every open square so the intersecting Across and Down answers match their clues. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Keyboard and screen 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.
Try this example
For the clue “A chart showing days, weeks and months”, the answer is CALENDAR. It occupies 8 squares, and each crossing uses the same letter. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A common point of confusion
Do not fill dark squares. A letter that fits one answer must also fit the crossing clue. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
