Game rules & how to play

Objective

Everyone races on the same crossword grid.
Fill every white cell with the correct letters from the Across and Down clues.
First player to complete the whole grid correctly wins — or the highest score when the timer ends.

How it works

1 to 20 players join with their name; the host picks a theme, difficulty, and optional time limit.
Tap a cell to highlight its word, then type the answer. Correct letters lock in your colour.
Each completed word scores 10 points, plus a 5-point speed bonus for finishing that word first.
Need a nudge? Reveal a letter as a hint — but each revealed letter costs 3 points.

Tips

Start with the clues you’re sure of — crossing letters unlock the harder ones.
Finishing a word first is worth extra, so keep moving.
Spectators can watch the grid fill in but can’t enter letters.
