Game Overview

Objective

The goal is simple: use the correct word corresponding to the provided clues to fill in each square, both vertically and horizontally. If you're busy, you can still play because the game is small, typically 5x5 squares.

Controls

• Enter letters into the squares using the keyboard or touch screen.
• Use the arrow keys or tap to navigate: Move from one square to another.
• Enter or tab: Move between clues down and across.

Main Game Mechanics

Grid Layout

Mini crosswords typically have:

• Five clues vertically and five clues horizontally (sometimes less depending on the placement of the black squares).
• Words are separated by black squares, which also form the structure of the game.

Hints

• Words that run from left to right are examples of horizontal clues.
• Words that run from top to bottom are called “horizontal clues”.
• Simply put, wordplay and puns are examples of clues.

Conclusion

Mini crosswords are proof that fun puzzles don’t have to be long. The game has become a daily brain teaser for players of all ages thanks to its short playtime, witty clues, and user-friendly design.
