- What's new
English Crossword Puzzle for Android is a friendly way to train your brain. It brings classic crossword fun to your phone with a clean look and clear controls. Open the app, pick a puzzle, and start typing. Letters snap into place, and clues sit under the grid so you do not lose focus. You can play for one minute or for an hour. It works well both ways.
The app suits many people. It is good for commuters, for students of English, for puzzle fans, and for anyone who just wants a calm break. Puzzles come in many sizes. There are quick minis you can solve over a coffee. There are larger weekend grids for a longer session. Themes range from food and travel to science, history, and pop culture. A new daily puzzle gives you a fresh start every morning.
Controls are simple. Tap a clue to jump to it. The cursor moves to the next empty cell as you type. You can switch between Across and Down with one tap. There is dark mode for low light, and a big font option for tired eyes. You can zoom the grid or lock it to avoid slips. The keyboard supports smart movement, hyphens, and apostrophes, so odd words fit without a fight.
Help tools are gentle, not pushy. You can check a single letter, a word, or the whole grid. You can reveal a letter when you are stuck. Pencil mode lets you mark a guess without committing to it. There is a built-in list of common abbreviations and word parts. A small dictionary panel explains tricky definitions. You learn as you play, which makes the next puzzle easier.
Difficulty levels keep things fair. Choose Easy for clear clues and simple vocabulary. Choose Medium for more wordplay and longer entries. Choose Hard if you want a challenge with multi-word answers and misdirection. If you enjoy British-style clues, there is a pack with cryptic practice and a short guide to clue types. If you prefer American style, choose themed grids with clean fill and a punchy finish.
You can play offline. Download a pack before you travel, and you are set for a flight or a train ride. Progress saves on the device and, if you sign in, can sync to the cloud. Streaks and stats show your growth: best time, longest run, and average clues solved per minute. Badges add a small spark of fun, but you can hide them if you like a quiet screen.
The app respects your focus. Alerts are rare. Ads, if you use the free version, stay outside the grid area. A one-time or monthly upgrade removes ads and unlocks the full archive. Premium also adds unlimited hints, custom themes, and priority support. You can cancel at any time. The core game remains solid on the free tier.
There is a simple builder for makers and teachers. You can craft a small crossword, add your own clues, and share it with a code or a link. Print support helps with classroom work or family game night. Parents can set child mode to filter clues and cap hint use. Accessibility features include screen reader support, high-contrast colors, and color-blind friendly palettes.
New to crosswords? Start with fill-in-the-blank clues. Look for plurals and verb endings. Use crossings to test a guess. If a word resists you, leave it and return later. Small wins build fast. Keep a steady rhythm, and the grid opens up.
English Crossword Puzzle for Android makes word play calm, modern, and portable. It turns spare minutes into a small workout for memory and vocabulary. Whether you want a daily habit or a weekend brain stretch, this app gives you a simple way to think, relax, and smile at a solved square.
