Every across and every down answer in this crossword has its own colour. The squares are painted with a soft two-colour gradient, so a crossing square literally shows the colour of both answers at once. The whole row glows in its answer's colour while you type it, the current square gets a matching outline, and a wrong letter turns its square solid red the moment you hit Check. Solving feels less like filling in a form and more like painting the grid home.
There are 100 puzzles in the set — that is roughly a thousand hand-quality clues, generated from a curated dictionary of common English words and reviewed for readability.
Tap a square and type. The whole answer — across or down — is highlighted in its own colour while you type, and the cursor hops to the next square automatically. Tap the same square again to switch between the across and down answers that share it. On a keyboard, the arrow keys move between squares and Backspace erases.
When you think you are done, tap Check: wrong letters turn red and everything correct stays quietly coloured. Stuck on one answer? Reveal fills the current entry for you. Finish all 21 letters correctly and the grid celebrates square by square.
