Tessera Crosswords
Mix six languages in one grid
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tessera is a clued crossword for people who love words — in more than one language. Solve in English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, or Italian, or mix up to three of them in a single grid where Straße crosses house crosses casa.
LANGUAGES - Every clue is written in its answer's native language. Crossings work on the A–Z canonical form, so año and house share their letters cleanly. The diacritics stay on the surface for display.
THEMES AND DIFFICULTY - Forty-two hand-authored themes — animals, cinema, cooking, music, geography, sport, more — each validated by a quality harness before it ever ships. Pick a theme for a small focused puzzle, or leave it open for the full word pool. Choose easy, medium, or hard. The grid generator scales to the available pool, so a tightly themed selection becomes a clean mini-puzzle, not a frustrating empty board.
SOLO PLAY
- Reveal a letter, a word, or the whole puzzle
- Mark wrong cells while you work

MULTIPLAYER (OPTIONAL, GAME CENTER)
- Invite a specific friend or auto-match
- One letter per turn, sixty seconds on the shot clock
- Pass your turn to reveal a cell — both players see it
- Asynchronous: take your turn when you want
- Only the seed travels, never the solution — both devices build the identical board locally
