How to play
- Read a clue, then write its answer in the grid, one letter per square.
- Across clues go left to right, Down clues go top to bottom.
- Words cross each other, so a letter you know can help with a tricky clue.
- Check your answers in the app.
How it works
Generated each day from a theme's word and clue list (hand-written per age band): words interlock in a real criss-cross grid, checked so every word crosses another and no stray letters touch.
What you can set
- Appropriateness dial (kindergarten → adult) — tune it per card. Sets how many words and how big the grid is.
Age dial (1–20): Smooth scale: 5→13 words on an 8→14 grid. Theme and clues follow the three age sets.
