About this game

The ultimate giant crossword puzzles!

Play our three HUGE crosswords, with over 1300 clues in each grid. The grids are both over 100 by 100 cells in size.

Can you complete these epic crosswords?

These themed crosswords are a fabulous brain stretcher if you love solving challenging puzzles.
Choose to solve the crosswords in two modes:
- Quest mode, where each clue has been carefully crafted into a corresponding quest. There are over 80 quests to complete in each puzzle.
- Classic mode where you play like an ordinary crossword

The crosswords have been professionally set, and tailored to suit both US and non US markets - with any specific cultural differences noted. We only use the best crossword setters!

They are epic challenges that only the best crossword solvers will be able to complete unaided.
However if you're completely stumped on a clue, the game features several hints:
- Reveal start and end letters
- Lose unused keyboard letters
- Reveal Word

Each puzzle also contains 120+ cryptic clues to sharpen your wits, but fear not - our 'Learn Cryptic Crosswords' app teaches you how to solve those. Or just use your Hints!

The helpful 'mini grid' feature shows you where you are in the overall puzzle.

The game features in-app purchases to buy coins for hints, or you can watch reward adverts instead.
Periodically adverts are shown.

Earn extra rewards by playing daily.

Did we mention the size? They’re BIG - really BIG!

A real challenge for crossword aficionados or beginners.
Three HUGE crosswords for hours of fun! They’re BIG - really BIG!

Absolutely brilliant!! Loved playing this although a few of the clues were in no way connected to the answer which was guessed!! But a great way to idle some time away. Need another please!! Now there are 2 crossword it's even more fun, although if you use you hints all up on the the first puzzle, you don't get any for the second without watching endless adverts, you need an equal amount of hints on both puzzles. Any chance of a third 🥉

I absolutely love this crossword app! You can easily pick up from where you left off at any time. You can zoom in to see areas that need clearing. You can alternate between classic or quest mode and it'll jump to the next clue. I played and completed the first one 2 years ago but decided to clear the board and start again. I'm very pleased to see a 2nd crossword so I just alternate between the two. It doesn't matter if I spend hours completing it, I'm enjoying every minute 😃❤️

Took me 7 hours to complete. Only one or two of the clues were far too easy; the majority were about right to make you think. A few were harder. There's an opportunity to get a hint if you want one...and you can "earn" them by watching ads, which means it is totally free. I would prefer it if you could have a one letter hint for less coins, rather than "first and last" "whole word" or "remove letters". I like that the clues are categorised too. Very enjoyable and satisfying.
