## What is CrossWeave?

Don't just solve crosswords—build them.

CrossWeave is a fresh take on the classic crossword puzzle. In this two-phase word game, you'll solve clues to fill in words, then use those words to construct your very own crossword grid.

Phase 1: Fill the Words
Read each clue and use letters from the pool to complete the answer. Once every word is filled, you're ready to build your puzzle.

Phase 2: Build the puzzle!
Drag each word into place as you weave your words together crossword-puzzle style.
In Expert Mode, you even need to find proper word orientation!
Words must intersect correctly—place them wisely to complete your puzzle!

A unique twist on crosswords that challenges both your vocabulary and spatial thinking.

Infinite play mode. Puzzles are generated on the fly for nearly endless combinations.

Fully offline, no internet required, no ads, no in-game purchases!

Download CrossWeave and discover the crossword puzzle game where you're not just solving—you're creating.
