Crossword Buddy is a pocket-sized crossword you can finish in a coffee break: hand-clued minis from a gentle 5×5 to a Master 7×7, with Bolty, your lightning-bolt buddy, cheering you on. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY • The Daily Challenge is the same puzzle for everyone, everywhere. • The week ramps up: easy on Monday, a Master 7×7 on Sunday. • Build a streak, and catch up on any day you missed from the calendar. • See how today compares with your personal best, your usual time and your trend at every level. HELP THAT KEEPS IT FUN • Check a letter, a word or the whole grid, always free. • Stuck? Reveal a letter or a word and keep going. • "How Clues Work" teaches the tricks of the trade, from abbreviations to question-mark clues, with real clues from the game. PLAY WITH FRIENDS • Buddy Duel: race a friend live on the identical puzzle and watch their progress. • Practice against Bolty Bot at four speeds, even offline. • Send a "beat my time" challenge over Messages: no account, the puzzle travels in the link. • Game Center leaderboards and 20 trophies. MADE WITH CARE • 520 puzzles and 6,320 clues, every one written for this game in family-friendly US English. • Five levels, XP, ranks and best times. • Four board themes, dark mode, large text, VoiceOver and a full iPad layout. • Free to play, with occasional ads that never interrupt a puzzle.
