Crossword Puzzle is the classic word game where you fill in a grid with words that match the given clues. Each word intersects with other words, so every letter you write helps solve multiple clues.

The clues are divided into Across and Down. Each clue has a number that corresponds to a starting square in the grid. The goal is to fill every square with the correct letter.

The challenge is using the intersecting letters to help solve difficult clues. If you're stuck on an Across clue, the Down clues that cross it might give you the letters you need. The best crossword solvers work back and forth between clues.

Our RetroPlayNow version features multiple difficulty levels, hints, and a scoring system that rewards completing puzzles. Every word filled earns Retro Coins.
