To Play Crossword:


1. Get Going
Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the crossword grid and the clues provided.

2. Crack the Clues
Begin by selecting a clue from the list. Categories are Across and Down. Read the clue carefully, then think of the corresponding word or phrase that fits the grid.

3. Input Answers
Click on the first box of the word you want to enter. Start typing the letters of your answer. Keep going until you've completed the word or phrase.

4. Utilize Functions
Need a hint? "Reveal Character" uncovers one letter. But be wary, using it incurs time penalties which increases with every usage. It's best to use this sparingly to maintain a good completion time.

5. Watch the Clock
Keep an eye on the timer displayed. Faster completions with minimum penalties fetch higher ranks.

The more you play, the better you'll become. Experiment with different solving strategies to find what works best for you.
