How to Play — Basic Rules & Controls

The central mechanic is simple: you’re given a pool of letters and a crossword grid. Create words from the letters to fill the crossword. Not every valid word you make is required for the puzzle, but extra words provide coins and experience.

1. Scan the grid: Look for short, high-value words first — they often unlock crossing letters.
2. Form anchor words: Place words that intersect many slots to reveal more letters and reduce ambiguity.
3. Use bonus words: Any legal words you form that aren’t part of the puzzle still grant coins and XP.
4. Hints & coins: Spend coins on contextual hints when stuck, or watch ads (if available) to earn extra coins.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I get unstuck when a crossword is missing a few letters?

   Scan for common prefixes/suffixes and try short words first. Use a hint to reveal a single letter when necessary — saving hints for late-stage puzzles usually yields the best ROI.

2. What’s the best way to earn coins quickly?

   Complete daily challenges, play Golden Pages for bonus multipliers, and take part in low-risk duels. Extra words that aren’t needed for the crossword also grant coins; make a habit of submitting legitimate bonus words before submitting the puzzle.

3. How do leagues and tournaments work?

   Leagues rank players by points earned through matches and tournament performance. Weekly resets adjust standings and promotion. Tournaments have entry requirements and often offer exclusive aquarium decor or high-value coin payouts for top finishers.
