## What is Crossword Battle?

Crossword Battle turns the crossword into a game of turns.

Each turn you get five letter tiles. Drag them onto the grid and press SUBMIT: right letters lock in and score, wrong ones come back to your tray. Finish a word for a bonus, and solve the grid in as few turns as you can.

PLAY ONLINE
• Tap PLAY ONLINE and take on another player live on a 7x7 grid, 60 seconds a turn.
• Win to raise your versus rating and climb the global VERSUS board.
• Nobody free right now? A computer opponent steps in, clearly labelled, and adapts to how you play.

PLAY YOUR FRIENDS
• Send a link on WhatsApp or anywhere. Your friend taps it and you're on the same grid.
• Pick a quick 5x5 or a classic 7x7. Every word you finish takes your color.
• Keep a head-to-head record against each friend, and ask for a rematch.

A NEW CROSSWORD EVERY DAY
• A 5x5 or 7x7 daily puzzle, the same grid for everyone.
• Keep your streak going, with an optional reminder at 7 pm. Missed a day? Save your streak, or play past dailies.
• See how your friends did on today's puzzle, and where you rank worldwide.
• Follow other players from the leaderboards to see their results next to your friends'.
• Share your result without giving the answers away.

THE JOURNEY
• Seven chapters and 63 levels, from 5x5 to 11x11 grids.
• Each chapter adds a twist: x2 and x3 cells, thin ice that melts as you solve, a par for your turns, fog that hides clues, padlocked words and red herring tiles.
• Every chapter ends with a boss: three lives, and each wrong SUBMIT costs one.
• Open chests on the way for hints, and beat bosses for streak saves and two new color themes.
• Earn up to three stars on every level, and replay any of them.
• Stuck? Use a hint.

ALSO
• More than 400 puzzles with plain, friendly clues.
• Five color themes, two of them won on the journey, and a left-handed layout.
• Leave a game mid-way and pick it up where you left off.
• No sign-in: an account is made only when you play online, open Leaderboards or tap the account icon.
• The daily puzzle and the journey play offline; new puzzles download in the background.
• Free to play with ads; remove them with a one-time purchase.
