About Daily Crossword on Suvi
The Daily Crossword is a full-size crossword every day at three levels: Easy (11 by 11), Medium (13 by 13) and Hard (15 by 15). The clues are straight, not cryptic: a fair definition or a simple fill-in-the-blank on Easy, something to make you think on Hard. Everyone gets the same crossword each day, so you can compare times with a friend. Tap a square and type on the big on-screen keyboard or a real one; Check marks a wrong square and Reveal shows a letter. Every grid is built ahead from our own clue bank and checked before it goes out: real words only, nothing obscure, nothing rude.
How to play
- Pick Easy, Medium or Hard. Tap a square, then type: you move along the word as you go.
- Tap the square again to switch between Across and Down. The clue for the word you're on sits above the keyboard, with the length in brackets.
- Use the arrows by the clue (or Tab) to move to the next clue; tap any clue in the list to jump to it.
- Check shows wrong squares; Reveal fills one in. When every square is right, the timer stops and your streak grows.
Controls
On a phone or tablet: Tap a square and type on the big on-screen keyboard; tap it again to change direction; the arrows by the clue move to the next clue.
On a desktop: Click a square and type. Arrow keys move, Tab goes to the next clue, Backspace clears, Space switches direction. The clue list sits beside the grid.
Tips
- Start with the fill-in-the-blank clues: they're usually the quickest way in.
- Every other letter of a word is shared with another clue, so one sure answer opens up several more.
- Plural clue, plural answer; past-tense clue, past-tense answer.
- Stuck on Hard? Today's Easy uses the same everyday words with plainer clues: a good warm-up.
Questions
- Is it the same crossword for everyone?
- Yes. Each day has one Easy, one Medium and one Hard crossword, the same for every player, new at midnight in your time zone.
- How hard is Hard?
- The words are still ones you know; the clues ask more of you, and the grid is bigger. Most people take 10 to 25 minutes on Easy and longer on Hard.
- Is it a cryptic crossword?
- No. Every clue is a straight clue: a definition, a synonym or a fill-in-the-blank. No anagrams or wordplay to decode.
- Why are some squares in only one word?
- It's the quick-crossword style: about half the letters of each word cross another word, so the grid is open and the clues do the work.
- Where do the clues come from?
- Our own clue bank, written for everyday words and checked for anything unfair, rude or obscure before any grid goes out. If a clue seems wrong, tell us from the About page and we'll fix it.
- Can I print it?
- Yes. Each day's crossword is a free PDF on the Printables page: Easy, Medium and Hard, a large-print Easy with big squares and big clues, and the answers on the last page. Free to print at home, in class, in a library or a care home.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Every level, every day, with no account. Three reveals a day are free.
