About Crossword

Crossword turns the short answers in your study set into an interconnected word puzzle. Each clue is a question from your material, and the answer belongs in the highlighted squares. Choose any clue to start, type what you remember, and check the word when you are ready. A correct answer locks into the board and gives you letters for the words that cross it. The connection between answers lets you approach a difficult question from another direction: solve a familiar clue first, then return with a few helpful letters already in place.

Three modes give the same material different shapes. Crossword ladder places one answer across the board, with vertical answers crossing it, similar to a simple classroom worksheet. Classic crossword connects answers horizontally and vertically across a larger grid. Secret word adds numbered golden squares whose letters reveal a separate answer from the study set as you solve the board. The layout depends on the letters available in your answers. A set with more distinct, short words gives the generator more opportunities to connect them; each board shows how many suitable answers it uses.

Play at your own pace with no question timer. Tap a word on the board or choose it from the clue list, then enter the answer using the game keyboard, your device keyboard or a physical keyboard. You can move between unfinished clues and come back to them later. If a word is difficult, reveal a letter and continue from there. Correct words stay in place, and crossing letters remain useful throughout the puzzle. The completion view separates words solved without hints from words that needed a little help, so you can see which terms to review.

Crossword answers must be single words containing only letters. Spaces, hyphens, numbers and multi-word names are not accepted. For a saved document, a dedicated question set is generated from the study material, with each new clue targeting one supported concept. Your regular quiz stays unchanged. When the original material is unavailable, suitable one-word answers from the existing study set can be used. If a set cannot produce a connected board, choose another mode or use a larger set of short answers. Vocabulary, scientific terminology, place names and key concepts are useful starting points.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are the crossword clues created?

For saved study material, the generator writes a separate set of clues with single-word answers. It keeps your original quiz unchanged. Without the original text, the game uses suitable one-word answers already in the study set.

What is the difference between the three modes?

Crossword ladder has one word across with vertical words crossing it. Classic crossword uses a connected horizontal and vertical grid. Secret word adds numbered golden squares that reveal another answer from the set.

Can I use a study set with long answers?

Yes, when the saved original material is available: the game creates new clues around one-word concepts from that material. It does not remove spaces or shorten an old answer while keeping its original question. If the material cannot support enough connected words, add more study material or choose another set.

Is there a time limit?

No. You can read each question, move between clues and check your answers at your own pace.

What happens when I get stuck?

Try a crossing clue to collect helpful letters, or reveal a letter in the current word. The completion view distinguishes words solved with hints from those solved without them.
