Arrowwords: Crossword Puzzles

An arrowword like the ones in a puzzle magazine: the clue sits in a cell of the grid and an arrow shows where the answer goes. The puzzles are written in American English, not translated: color, tire, curb and mom, as you would write them.

500 puzzles at three levels
200 easy, 150 medium and 150 hard puzzles, all the same size. The higher the level, the rarer the words and the harder the clues. Each level comes in packs of 20 puzzles that get a little harder each time. Solve 10 in a pack and the next one opens.

Easy to play
• The clue for the selected word is shown large at the top of the screen, so you never have to read the small cells.
• Tap a cell twice to switch direction.
• A built-in keyboard, without autocorrect getting in the way. It follows your phone's layout (such as QWERTY or AZERTY), or you pick one yourself.
• Zoom the grid with a button or with two fingers.
• Light or dark theme and four grid colors, including high contrast.
• Short sounds, which you can switch off.

Help when you are stuck
Checking is free: wrong letters turn red. Revealing a letter costs 1 hint, revealing a word 1 hint for each letter it fills in. Every day your hints are topped up to 10 for free. You can also buy a pack of 100 hints, or Unlimited once for unlimited hints. No subscription.

Stars, times and streak
Every puzzle gives up to 3 stars: one for solving it, one for using no help and one for making no mistakes. The stats show your best and average time per level and your streak of days in a row.

Challenge a friend
After a puzzle, send the empty grid with your time to a friend. They play the same puzzle and see the time to beat. If they don't have the app yet, the puzzle opens after they install it.
