Joinery: Daily Crosswords
Handcrafted, ad-free, offline
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Joinery is a calmer kind of crossword: handcrafted daily puzzles, no ads, no tracking, fully offline. Solve a fresh one each day and keep your streak alive.
Crosswords, made well.
Joinery is a daily crossword you can actually look forward to — handcrafted puzzles, a calm and uncluttered board, and not a single ad or tracker in sight.
A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY — PLUS A DAILY MINI
Open the app to today's crossword, and a bite-sized daily Mini for when you only have a minute. Build a streak by solving day after day, browse the whole library by theme, size, or difficulty, or work through the calendar of past dailies. Every puzzle is human-reviewed before it ships — no machine-generated filler, no junk entries.
BUILT FOR SOLVING
• A crisp, responsive grid with a keyboard designed for crosswords
• Tap to jump between Across and Down; the active clue is always in view
• Check or reveal a letter, a word, or the whole grid when you're stuck — hints come from the puzzle itself, never from an AI
• Optional check-as-you-type that quietly shows each letter right or wrong as you go
• A solve timer you can turn off, and light/dark themes
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Streaks, puzzles solved, your average time by difficulty, and a 12-week activity heatmap — a quiet record of your solving, all kept on your device.
PLAYS ANYWHERE
Fully offline from the first launch — your daily puzzle is always there, plane or subway or no signal at all. On iPad, the grid and clue list sit side by side and the board rotates to landscape.
DESIGNED TO BE USED BY EVERYONE
Full VoiceOver support reads the active cell, its clue, and your progress as you move. The cursor is marked by a high-contrast outline (never color alone), and large system text sizes are respected throughout.
NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNTS.
Joinery collects no data, shows no ads, and never asks you to sign in. It's free, and it stays out of your way.
Crosswords, made well. We hope you enjoy them.
