Crossy Word
Some crossword clues are easy to answer straight away. Others make you stare at the screen, trying to remember a word you know you've heard before. That's the fun of Crossy Word. You get a grid of empty spaces, choose a row or column, and answer the question to complete the missing word. One correct answer can also give you letters that help with the next clue.
How To Play Crossy Word
You don't need to learn complicated rules before starting. Just tap a row or column you want to solve and read the question that appears. Work out the answer, then enter the word into the available spaces.
A few things help when a clue is difficult:
- Start with the easy questions: Fill in the words you know instead of getting stuck on one difficult clue.
- Look at the empty boxes: The number of letters can help jog your memory for the answer.
- Check the empty boxes: The letter count can jog your memory.
- Stuck on a tricky row? Come back later: Letters from other answers might give you a hint.
Who Will Enjoy Crossy Word?
If you like crosswords, spelling games, or guessing words from short clues, Crossy Word's worth a try. Kids can pick up new vocabulary along the way, and adults can kill a few minutes solving clues here and there. That said, if you're into racing, action, or competitive multiplayer stuff, the pace might feel too slow for you. And sometimes an unfamiliar word can make a puzzle way harder than you'd expect.
More Word Games to Try
Finished a few rounds of Crossy Word and still feel like solving puzzles? Here are three more word games, each with a different way to keep your brain busy.
Make New Words with Poople
Give Poople a try. Change one letter at a time to turn the starting word into a new one. Some answers come quickly, while others take a bit of thinking.
Follow the Word Clues
You can also play Chainle. Read the clues and look for a word that connects them. A clue that seems unrelated at first might make sense once you find the answer.

For another kind of word puzzle, open Word String. Look over the letters and join them to spell words. It can take a few tries to spot a word hiding in the grid.
