Karo Crossword Duel

Karo is a crossword built for two. You and your opponent share one grid and take turns solving it, clue by clue. Every letter you place is yours, and every word you finish scores.

GET IT RIGHT, GO AGAIN
A correct word keeps the turn in your hands. Guess wrong and the turn passes to your opponent. Every move is a small decision: play the word you are sure of, or risk the long one for more points?

PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE
Each turn lasts up to 6 hours, so a game fits around your day. When you open a game your move clock starts: you have 2 minutes to play. While it is your opponent's turn the board stays hidden, so nobody can work on the grid outside their own turn. A notification tells you when it is your move.

PICK YOUR MODE
• Quick match: get paired by skill in seconds
• Blitz: 30-second turns, with its own ranking
• Series match: three puzzles against the same opponent, total points decide
• Play with a friend: share a code or an invite link and choose the mode. Friendly games never touch your league

CLIMB THE WEEKLY LEAGUES
Win rated games to earn LP and climb from Bronze to Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Legend. A new season starts every week. A hidden skill rating keeps your matches fair.

EARN, DON'T BUY
Finish a season to earn that league's avatar frame. Keep a daily streak to unlock board themes. Nothing in Karo is for sale, and nothing you earn changes the game.

STUCK ON A CLUE?
A hint reveals one letter that only you can see. It costs points, and you still have to write the word yourself.
