About this game

Mini Crossword gives you a small grid and a handful of straightforward clues. Words cross each other, so a letter you are sure of in one answer gives you a free letter in another, which is the whole pleasure of a crossword condensed into something you can finish in a minute.

Small crosswords have become enormously popular precisely because they are finishable. A full-size puzzle can defeat you for an afternoon; a five by five grid gives you the same satisfying click of a crossing letter falling into place without the commitment.

Tips & strategy

Start with the shortest answers. Three-letter words have far fewer possibilities than five-letter ones, and each one you solve hands you crossing letters in the longer answers.

Use the crossings rather than solving in isolation. A clue you cannot get often becomes obvious once two of its letters are filled in from the answers running the other way.

Write in what you are confident about, even if unsure elsewhere. Partial progress is how crosswords unlock, and a wrong letter is easy to change once a crossing answer contradicts it.

Read every clue once before starting. Some will be immediately obvious, and starting with those gives you a foothold rather than grinding at the first clue in the list.

Questions

How big are the grids?

Five by five, which makes them solvable in a minute or two.

Do the words cross?

Yes, and that is the point. A letter confirmed in one answer helps you with another.

Are the clues difficult?

They are deliberately straightforward, aimed at a quick satisfying solve rather than a struggle.

What if I get stuck?

Work on the crossing answers instead. Filling in a letter from the other direction usually breaks the deadlock.
