About this game

The ultimate giant crossword puzzles!

Play our three HUGE crosswords, with over 1300 clues in each grid. The grids are both over 100 by 100 cells in size.

Can you complete these epic crosswords?

These themed crosswords are a fabulous brain stretcher if you love solving challenging puzzles.
Choose to solve the crosswords in two modes:
- Quest mode, where each clue has been carefully crafted into a corresponding quest. There are over 80 quests to complete in each puzzle.
- Classic mode where you play like an ordinary crossword

The crosswords have 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!

They are epic challenges 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
- Reveal Word

Each puzzle also contains 120+ 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 puzzle.

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? They’re BIG - really BIG!

A real challenge for crossword aficionados or beginners.

Ratings and reviews

I have reinstalled this puzzle numerous times. Sometimes I try to beat my earlier times, and sometimes I complete a single quest before I go to the next one. I'm not a big fan of the newer puzzle, since I don't know most of the song titles, and cryptics are especially difficult for me, but you deserve kudos for all the work that must have gone into making puzzles of this size.

Really good challenge. Would be 5 but the Cryptic hints are a stretch at best. I've started just revealing them because they generally make no sense. Other phrasing is odd but might be regional differences. Also found a word in another language without noting it was. I'm sticking with 4 stars because overall it's been good but it could be about 200 words less without the bad entries and be perfect.

I was bummed at first because I thought I had to use my coins to open all the categories. I didn't. Just start answering clues and you will unlock the corresponding category. I am pleasantly surprised at this app. Most crosswords I find are either too easy or too hard. This is perfect for me, challenging but solvable. Maneuvering is so easy, cross referencing clues, switching to other clues or sections of the puzzle,. Great app so far
