Someone completed the crossword. They got every single word wrong. Your job is to Fix it. Cross Fix is a crossword with the answers already in place and every one of them scrambled. There is no typing and no empty squares to stare at. You drag letters around the grid until the words fall into place. When a word is right it turns green and locks, and you move on. Here is what makes it different. Every letter you need is already on the board. You can never be stuck on a word you have never heard of. If a clue means nothing to you, you can still solve it by moving letters and watching what fits. HOW IT WORKS Drag any letter onto another to swap the two. Correct words turn green and lock in place. Tap Clues whenever you want a nudge. One good swap can finish two words at once. A DAILY PUZZLE A fresh board every day, the same one for everybody. Build a streak, collect your daily coins, and share a picture of your finished grid. HUNDREDS OF LEVELS Every board is a different shape and size. The grids never grow, but the clues get sharper. Every word in the game has two clues, a plain one and a cryptic one, and the later levels lean on the cryptic ones. PLAY YOUR WAY No timer and nothing chasing you. Each board has a par score if you want the challenge, and hints if you would rather take it easy. Big clear letters, simple controls, and no clutter. Made to be easy to read and easy on the hands.
