Puzzle Lab vs Crossly

Puzzle Lab is a calm, distraction-free jigsaw game. Pick one of the built-in photos or import any picture from your library, choose a shape (classic / circle / hexagon) and a difficulty (9 to 400 pieces), and drop pieces into place. Pieces snap when they're close, you can filter to just edge pieces to start with the border, and a quick tap shows the reference image whenever you're stuck. A daily challenge reseeds every day for a quick session. Optional white noise and two ambient tracks help you focus. Time, move count and 20+ achievements are saved locally. Everything is offline. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no network. The photos you import never leave your device.

Make your own crossword puzzle from your own words — for a classroom, a vocabulary review, a party, a baby shower or a birthday card. Crossly fits your words into an interlocking grid and gives you a printable puzzle with an answer key. Type each word with its clue, tap Make Puzzle, and Crossly builds the grid, numbers it and lays out the Across and Down clues on a two-page PDF. • YOUR WORDS, YOUR CLUES — 2 to 20 words, 2 to 15 letters each, every one with its own clue. Add an optional title for the top of the page. • AUTOMATIC INTERLOCKING GRID — Crossly searches for a layout where every word crosses another, with no accidental extra words. If your list can't interlock, it tells you so you can add words that share letters. • PUZZLE + ANSWER KEY — page 1 is the blank numbered grid with the clues; page 2 is the same grid filled in, labeled as the answer key. • CLEAN PRINTABLE LAYOUT — US Letter page with the grid on top and Across and Down clues in two columns underneath. • PRINT, SHARE OR SAVE — send the PDF to your printer, share it, or save it to Files. • TRY THE SAMPLE — load a sample word list to see how it works before typing your own. Honest scope: Crossly makes one puzzle from the words you type — it doesn't suggest words or write clues for you. Words use letters only (spaces and punctuation are removed). Long clues wrap onto extra lines; if all the clues can't fit on the page, Crossly asks you to shorten some rather than cutting them off. The puzzle is made on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 puzzles. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited puzzles. No subscription, no ads.
