In a regular crossword, the grid tells you where every answer goes. In a diagramless crossword, it doesn't. The black squares are hidden, and working out the grid layout is half the challenge. GridSpace is dedicated to diagramless crosswords - a rare puzzle format that tests both your vocabulary and your deductive reasoning. You'll use the clues, the starting position, and crossword rules to work through each puzzle from a blank grid. HOW IT WORKS - You start with an empty grid and the position of the first clue - Solve clues and figure out where each answer belongs - Deduce where black squares go based on crossword rules like minimum word length and rotational symmetry - Every letter must belong to both an Across and a Down word FEATURES - 15 free puzzles across 3 difficulty levels (7x7, 9x9, and 11x11 grids) - Weekly Spotlight puzzles with unique themes - Relaxed and Timed game modes - Full undo/redo and autosave - 5 free hints to highlight any wrong letter; earn more by watching a short ad, or buy more in bulk - Two visual themes: Cosmic (dark with neon highlights) and Classic (light) - No login or sign-up required - Play offline, no internet needed to solve - Comprehensive accessibility: VoiceOver with custom navigation actions for grid, clues, and keyboard, plus Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion support MORE PUZZLES Want more?
