Cross & Brew
Cozy café crossword puzzles
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A cozy café word puzzle you'll actually want to come back to.
Swipe letters on a wheel to build words that fill a crossword grid. No timers. No pop-ups. No chaos — just you, the puzzle, and the warm hum of a coffee shop in the background.
HOW TO PLAY
Swipe connected letters on the wheel to spell words that fill a crossword-style grid. Find all the required words to complete the puzzle. Discover bonus words for extra beans — our in-game currency that fits right into the café theme.
WHAT MAKES CROSS & BREW DIFFERENT
Word puzzle games have gotten cluttered. Event timers, pop-up offers, flashing distractions — the simple joy of finding a word has been buried under noise. Cross & Brew strips all of that away.
What you get instead: a warm café atmosphere, beautifully illustrated backgrounds, a bean-based economy that makes sense in context, and puzzles that respect your time.

- Hundreds of handcrafted crossword-style puzzles
- Bean economy — earn beans to unlock hints and power-ups
- Beautifully illustrated café backgrounds

THE STORY BEHIND THE GAME
Cross & Brew was built by one person — Darren, a solo indie developer from Florida. It started on the couch: his wife with a coffee, him with a word game, both half-watching Wheel of Fortune. His wife's love of coffee shops — she genuinely can't pass a good one without stopping in — inspired the whole café world the game lives in.
Pull up a chair. The coffee's on.
