Crosshue: Colour Crossword

Mix paint. Match every swatch.

Expected Nov 9, 2026 · Free · In‑App Purchases

A new Daily every day, from a gentle Monday to a fiendish Sunday. Mix red, yellow and blue (then thinner, ink and premixed pots) to match every swatch. No guessing. Crosshue is a crossword where the clues are colours. Every row and column of the board gets one paint pot. Where they cross, the paints mix: red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green. Pinned swatches show what each square must become. Work out every pot from the swatches, and the print comes out perfect. TWO DAILIES, EVERY DAY • A fresh print and a fresh stamp sheet daily, the same for everyone. • The week climbs from a gentle Monday to a fiendish Sunday, and the weekend brings the trickier clues. • Keep your streak, share a spoiler-free result, and keep today's Daily on your Home Screen or Lock Screen with the widget. FAIR, LOGICAL, SATISFYING • Every puzzle has exactly one solution and can be solved by deduction alone. No guessing. • Stuck? Hints explain the reasoning in plain words, then pour the paint for you. Hints are free while you learn in the first world. A NEW RULE IN EVERY WORLD • Locked pots, thinner that lightens, ink that darkens, split lines that pour two ways, and premixed pots of orange, green and purple. • Then new kinds of clue: rings that name one paint in the mix, crossed-out misprints that rule a colour out, and twin and rival pots that must match or differ. • Stamp mode: shaped rubber stamps whose inks mix where they overlap, with a one-minute lesson to start. • Every world climbs steadily, from gentle 3×3 boards to 8×8 Broadsheets. MADE FOR EVERYONE • Colour-blind patterns and component labels. • Full VoiceOver support, with adjustable paint pots. • Night paper for late-night solving, or follow your device's dark mode. • Made for iPhone and iPad, with portrait or landscape on iPad. • Game Center achievements and a leaderboard for every Daily. • Reduce Motion support, haptics, and a calm procedural soundtrack. • No ads, no accounts, no tracking. Works offline. FREE TO PLAY, ONE FAIR PRICE Free: the first two worlds, a taste of every other world and Stamp world, ten Puzzle Book prints (76 levels in all), and both Dailies every day. One-off Crosshue Pro opens everything: twelve crossword worlds, five Stamp worlds, the 1,020-print Puzzle Book, every past Daily in the archive, and unlimited hints, for you and your family. 1,238 levels, every one checked by a solver.
