Description
The ultimate puzzle - play the world's biggest and best single crossword, with over 1250 clues in a single grid. The grid is a huge 103 by 103 cells.
Can you complete this epic crossword?
This themed crossword is a fabulous brain game if you love solving challenging puzzles.
Choose to solve the crossword in two modes:
- Quest mode, where each clue has been carefully crafted into a corresponding quest. There are over 80 quests to complete.
- Classic mode where you play like an ordinary crossword
The crossword has been professionally set, and tailored to suit both US and non US markets - with any specific cultural differences noted. We only use the best crossword setters!
It is an epic challenge that only the best crossword solvers will be able to complete unaided.
However if you're completely stumped on a clue, the game features several hints:
- Reveal start and end letters
- Lose unused keyboard letters
- and if you are really stuck, Reveal Word
It also contains 140 cryptic clues to sharpen your wits, but fear not - our 'Learn Cryptic Crosswords' app teaches you how to solve those. Or just use your Hints!
The helpful 'mini grid' feature shows you where you are in the overall grid.
The game features in-app purchases to buy coins for hints, or you can watch reward adverts instead.
Periodically adverts are shown.
Earn extra rewards by playing daily.
Did we mention the size? It's BIG!
A real challenge for crossword aficionados or beginners.

Ratings and Reviews
Really excellent
I greatly enjoyed playing this, and found the ‘quest’ feature to be a welcome addition to the normal crossword format. There is a great variety of clue types, including general knowledge, though the last twenty or so clues sent me Googling.
Now I want to start again... there does not seem to be an in-app way of clearing the crossword, so I have deleted and re-downloaded it.
I only slightly dipped into the hints feature, as I did my best to complete it without them, but these are again very good at just pointing you in the right direction without giving away the answer.
Highly recommended if you like crosswords. Well worth paying for, if only to turn off the ads, which are frankly annoying, but do provide a route to ‘try before you buy’. I hope there will be a follow-up.
Brilliant game
I love this app - especially the little quests are fantastic. Very simple to use and a great app for passing the time on trains etc. I like the way you can use it offline. Just worried about what I am going to do when I finish it!
What to do now?
This was an amazing challenge, but I found a few of the cryptic questions difficult to reconcile with the answers. Also found myself googling a lot for help, but overall thoroughly impressed with this game and hope version 2 comes out soon.
Developer Response ,
Hello Tiggy, thanks for your feedback. The cryptic clues all have an explanation below them to help you, once solved. You also might want to consider trying our 'Learn Cryptic Crosswords' app, which is a nice gentle introduction to solving cryptic crosswords, with loads of example clues and explanations. It will set you up for tackling those awkward newspaper puzzles too!
