## What is Crosswordy?

A cozy crossword, fresh every morning. Three new puzzles a day, little ones you make from your own words, and a turtle named Frank who's always happy to see you. No ads, no account. On iPhone, iPad and Mac.

THE DAILY
A 5×5, a 7×7, and a 10×10, new every morning at your own midnight. Pick a size at the café: small, medium or large. Solve one, solve all three, and keep a streak going at each size. Your streak lives on the widget and picks up where you left off on every device.

BUILD YOUR OWN
Start from a list of your own words, or draw the grid yourself. Crosswordy fits your words in, fills everything around them, and suggests clues you can make your own. Name it, and it's yours.

MAKE IT YOURS
Give every puzzle you make a color and a Frank to go with it: a birthday Frank, a travelling Frank, a Frank with his cat, and more. Then send it to someone.

SHARE IT
Send a puzzle with a link. No upload, no account for them to make. They just tap and solve, and see who made it.

ON IPAD AND MAC
Layouts made for the bigger screen, and a hardware keyboard to type with: letters, Delete, and Return to check.

PRINT IT
Any puzzle, laid out properly: grid on the left, clues on the right, answers on a second page.

WHAT'S FREE
Today's puzzles at all three sizes, one puzzle build a day, your streaks, the widget, and sharing.
