WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT
Daily ritual
A new puzzle every day, the same one for everyone, so you always have something to come back to. Solve it fast and your time counts.
Built to feel good
Smooth typing, smart cursor jumps, and a satisfying solve. Two looks to match your mood: a modern dark theme and a classic newspaper style.
Keep your streak
Solve each day to grow your streak. Miss a day? A streak saver keeps it alive. Your progress follows you to a new phone through iCloud.
Play your way
Tap to select, swipe to switch direction, and check or reveal only if you want to. Pen mode for purists, auto check for a gentle assist.
Fair and friendly clues
Everyday words and clear, original clues. No obscure trivia, no proper names, no tricks for the sake of tricks. Just that great "aha" moment.
Yours forever
Crux has no ads and no clutter. If you love it, you can buy us an espresso to say thanks. That is the only purchase, and it never gates a single puzzle.
A perfect small habit for your morning coffee, your commute, or winding down at night.
Download Crux and start your streak today.

Now two crosswords every day. Next to the classic 5x5 Mini, a brand new daily 7x7 arrowword arrives in all 19 languages. Switch between them with a single tap, each keeps its own history and streak, and solving both in a day earns you a golden streak. Still free, ad-free, and fully offline. Enjoy.
