A free English crossword for learners, with words you need from the first lesson. The clues are pictures, short definitions and sentences with a gap.
How to play
Every answer starts right after its clue cell: to the right for words across, below for words down. Tap a clue cell or a word to choose it, then fill it in with the ten letter tiles or your keyboard.
A clue is a picture, a translation or a sentence with a gap. When a word is right it locks in and you go on to the next one. A wrong letter costs one of your four erasers, and a missing accent costs nothing.
Nouns come with an article. After you spell one you pick its article, and every correct article earns extra points. The circled cells spell a secret word: guess it early for a bonus.
A new topic every day
Each day the crossword takes its words from one everyday topic, such as fruit, appearance or the beach, on the easy level. Everyone plays the same puzzle all day, and tomorrow brings a new topic.
