Crossword
Games were created to provide us with a fun way to pass the time but they also have the effect of keeping our minds and reactions sharp. Crossword is one of the oldest examples of the puzzle game that is still widely played across the world. Presented with a large grid of empty boxes marked with small numbers and a list of clues down below, it's up to you to them out with all the right words.
How to play Crossword
Crossword is easy to understand but can be hard to solve based on your knowledge of various trivia. Luckily, you can play the game at your leisure while trying to test your mind. The whole game is controlled by the mouse. When you're at a Crossword grid, just click on the box you want to fill in and select what letter you want to place.
The clues for the rows across and down will be listed at the bottom of the screen. When you begin filling out squares, the line that you're currently on will display the related clue above the keyboard in the bottom half of the screen. You can change which clue you want to solve by either clicking on the square in the grid or by clicking one of the arrows on either side of the clue. When you add a letter, you can toggle the Incorrect filter above the keyboard on or off. Incorrect letters will appear red and the Crossword will be complete once the grid has been filled with all the correct words.
