How it works
- 1
Scan the paper
Photograph the cryptic in your newspaper. The grid and clues are read for you, and the answers are worked out so yours can be checked.
- 2
Send a link
Friends open it on any phone or computer. There's nothing to install, and they can join as a guest without an account.
- 3
Solve it together
Fill in one grid between you, race each other for the answers, or go it alone and set a time to beat.
Ways to play
Co-op
Fill in one grid together, each answer in the colour of whoever got it. React to each other's answers and chat as you go.
Race
The first right answer to a clue claims it and scores a point per letter. A wrong answer costs you a point.
Solo and challenges
Solve on your own against the clock, then send friends a challenge to beat your time.
Your puzzles stay private. Only you and the friends you play with can see the crosswords you scan.
Tomorrow's cryptic is better with company.
