Clueless is a crossword puzzle game where there are no clues. Using just the starting and ending letters shown, it's up to you to figure out what letters go in the middle to make valid words reading across and down. You might be thinking "How would I solve this?" The first couple of puzzles might make you scratch your head. But you'll figure out some strategies and be cruising in no time. It's the best feeling when you solve a hard one. Clueless has easier and harder options. A puzzle with lots of letters shown might only take you a minute, while a puzzle with only one or two letters at the ends might take you 10 minutes or more. Clueless is ad-supported. You can create 10 puzzles without ads to see if you like it, and then ads will start showing up. If you're fine with ads, keep on playing! If you'd prefer the ad-free experience, you can buy a one-time in-app purchase to remove the ads forever. • Create as many puzzles as you like • Choose between different letter and word counts for easier and harder options • Share puzzles with friends or the Clueless community • No Internet connection needed • Supports light and dark mode • Ad-supported with the option to remove them • Tracks your stats - average times, personal bests... • Warning: my wife is addicted
