## What is Spiral Crossword?

Spiral Crossword is a new fun and absorbing way to play crosswords.
You can play it clockwise or counterclockwise - two puzzles in one.

Instead of a crossword grid it is TWO spirals of words - one inwards, one outwards.
The words and clues can be read both inwards AND outwards, so every letter always has two clues.

There are 120 puzzles split into Easy, Medium and Hard, so there are puzzles suitable for all levels of player.
Players can swap between viewing the inward (clockwise) clues and the outward (anticlockwise) clues.
Hints are given in exchange for virtual coins, and those coins can be earned by watching adverts.

- Casual level clues, suitable for all abilities
- Two clues for every letter, no hanging letters
- Solve the puzzle clockwise or anticlockwise
- 120 hand-crafted puzzles

### 3/5 — Once your done…

*2026-01-18*

I solved all the puzzles and that’s it. No new puzzles? No way to buy more?

### 5/5 — Super fun!

*2025-07-31*

Novel way to enjoy crosswording. I LOVE that the app does not collect data. Wish there were more puzzles - and would pay to be able to access a new batch.

### 5/5 — I love this developer’s apps!

*2025-07-17*

In an ever increasing world where companies are confining customers to subscription services (sometimes as well as adverts every time you push a button!), it is so refreshing to see a developer working differently!

I find Teazel’s crossword apps so accessible for this reason - yes they carry adverts in order to maintain themselves as a business which I totally understand, but what I like is that for a couple of quid, you can remove the adverts and contribute directly towards the developer’s games!

The app can easily be accessed offline, which really works for me when I am on the move and need brain stimulation on trains or in airport queues etc.

I am currently also using ‘Crossword’ and ‘Big Crossword’from Teazel that have similar pricing models to the above, which really works for me and the flexibility it provides!

### 5/5 — All good!

*2025-02-25*

Good fun puzzles with straight, cryptic and gk clues with the odd curved ball thrown in. Difficulty level is on the easy side of moderate.

### 3/5 — enjoyable but…

*2023-08-12*

Really enjoy the spin on a crossword game but often the clues are way obscure - even on the “easy” puzzles.

### 5/5 — Spiral crossword,

*2022-11-04*

This is great.keeping me occupied.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-03-08*

Interesting variation on the classical crossword.  Likes the overlapping clues!

### 5/5 — Love this

*2022-03-08*

Quite like crosswords but this app is a completely different approach and love it.

### 5/5 — What’s a cool puzzle

*2022-02-11*

I have not seen this style of crossword before, but I love it. Really fun puzzle. You should definitely try it.

### 5/5 — Rachel

*2022-02-10*

I enjoyed the switching between the inward and outward clues to make progress. Really satisfying!
