How to play. Fill the 5×5 grid so every across and down entry is a real word. Click or tap a cell to select it; click it again to switch between across and down. Type to fill a cell — the selection auto-advances along the word. Backspace clears a letter and steps back. Arrow keys move the selection; Tab jumps to the next clue. The puzzle checks itself once every cell is filled. Every answer is real and correctly spelled, with a clinical accent where the grid allows it. Your progress saves on this device only.
