How these clues work

Look for familiar words used in unexpected ways. A ? signals playful wording, not a cryptic clue. Use crossings to narrow your answer.

Type A–Z. Tap a selected cell again to switch direction. Arrow keys move; Enter goes to the next clue.

Pick a clue and type your answer.

Rules & example: Mini Crossword
  1. Choose an across or down clue and type its answer.
  2. Letters at crossings belong to both words.
  3. Fill every answer to finish. Switch packs to try longer words.

A quick example

If an across answer places an A in a crossing square, the down answer must use A in that same square.

Where to start

Start with clues you know, then use crossing letters to narrow down the rest. These are Gridlark’s own puzzles, not New York Times crosswords.
