Question 1

How big is a Crossword grid?

Accepted Answer

Five squares by five, with a few blocked out, so a puzzle is usually ten or eleven entries of three to five letters.

Question 2

How long does a Crossword puzzle take?

Accepted Answer

A couple of minutes for most players. It is deliberately a mini crossword, not a full-size one.

Question 3

Can I check my answers as I go?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Check marks every letter you have filled in as right or wrong, and typing over a square clears its mark so you can keep working.

Question 4

What happens if I reveal the answers?

Accepted Answer

The grid fills in and the puzzle ends, but the day is recorded as unsolved — revealing is not counted as a win.

Question 5

How often is there a new Crossword puzzle?

Accepted Answer

A new grid appears every day at midnight UTC.
