## What is Just Crosswords?

Just Crosswords is exactly what the name says. No ads, no subscription, no pop-ups selling coin packs. Open the app, solve a puzzle, and enjoy.

Over 1,000 well-made crosswords at launch, with more added free. Four difficulty tiers and three sizes, so there's something for a two-minute coffee break and something that will fight you for an afternoon.

Buy it once for $2.99 and it's yours. Every puzzle in the catalog, every puzzle we publish later, every difficulty, all hints, all profiles. No asterisks.

WHAT YOU GET
- Over 1,000 puzzles, Easy through Extreme
- Three sizes: Mini 5x5, Midi 11x11, and Full 15x15
- More puzzles added free, forever
- Fully offline. No account, no server, no signal required

SOLVING THAT FEELS GOOD
Graph paper and ink, a grid that stays out of your way, and a keyboard built for solving. Every puzzle has a par time. Beat it for stars, build XP, and watch your Solver Rating climb. No streaks, and nothing nags you to come back.

HINTS THAT TEACH
Stuck on a clue? Two graded hints nudge you toward the answer instead of just handing it over, so you still get the satisfaction of finishing.

FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE
Local profiles keep each person's progress, stars, and rating separate. Family Sharing covers your household on one purchase.

SOLO BY DEFAULT, SOCIAL WHEN YOU WANT
No sign-ups, no friend requests, nothing to set up.
- Party mode: everyone races the same puzzle in the same room. Host a grid, friends scan to join, and you all start on the countdown.
- Challenge a friend: send a link and they solve the exact same puzzle. The app shows whose time won.
- Compare standings: keep a friendly leaderboard of stars, ratings, and times, side by side.
