Minute Cryptic
Solve a daily cryptic clue
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A daily cryptic clue you can actually solve. Learn cryptic crosswords one clue at a time - fun, fast, and free.
Minute Cryptic started on TikTok and Instagram, with one clue a day and a short video explaining it. Our fan-base exploded and kept asking for a game to play, so we made it!
Now, with the Minute Cryptic app, you get one handcrafted clue each day, drawn from community feedback, playtested with solvers, and paired with a bite-sized video explanation.
You can adjust the difficulty with hints or letter reveals, and track your stats as you build confidence and skill.
Minute Cryptic is designed to make cryptic crosswords more accessible, playful and fun - one clue at a time.
What you get:
- A new cryptic clue every day
- Friendly hint system to guide you through
- Video walkthroughs that actually explain the clue
- A “How to Solve” guide built for beginners
- Stats and streak tracking to follow your progress
- A welcoming community of solvers on TikTok, Instagram, Youtube and beyond
