A hint on the light Daylight look, with the first square of 16 Across filled in and the words "The first letter of 16 Across is E. It helps with 16 Down too." below the grid

A Medium 9 by 9 crossword on the Newsprint look, half filled in, with the clue "15 Across, 3 letters, blank is at the door?" in a big blue bar above the grid and a big ABC keyboard below

Why it’s different

A crossword you don’t have to squint at

Big squares, big keys

The current clue sits in a big bar above the grid, with Previous and Next either side. The keyboard comes in ABC order or QWERTY, and Extra large makes the text bigger still.

Plain clues, no tricks

Every clue is an everyday definition or a fill-in-the-blank, written for this game. No cryptic clues, no obscure crossword words, and answers spelt the same in British and American English.

Help when you want it

Check a square, a word or the whole puzzle, reveal a letter or a word, and undo anything. A hint fills in the most useful letter and says why. Three hints in each puzzle are free, then a short ad of your choice gives another.

No rush, no penalties

No clock unless you turn one on, and no score to lose. Your puzzle is saved after every letter.

How it plays

Sunroom Crossword is the classic newspaper puzzle laid out to be easy on the eyes. The clue you're working on sits big above the grid, with Previous and Next either side, and the keyboard has big keys in ABC order or QWERTY. Every letter moves you to the next square, and a finished word moves you to the next clue.

The clues are plain definitions and fill-in-the-blanks, written for this game: no cryptic tricks and no obscure crossword words. Check a word, reveal a letter or undo anything at any time, and a hint puts in the most useful letter and tells you why.

There are three looks to choose from: warm Newsprint, crisp Daylight for a bright room, and black-white-and-yellow Bold for the strongest contrast. And there's a puzzle of the day, the same for everyone.

Tips

How to play well

Start with the short words
Three- and four-letter answers are usually the easiest. Each one you fill gives you letters in the words that cross it.
Fill-in-the-blanks first
Clues like "___ is at the door?" are often the quickest to get. Use Next to skip a clue you don't know and come back to it later.
Tap twice to turn
Tap a square to choose it, and tap it again to switch between the Across and Down word through it.
Stuck? Check, then hint
Check the word to see if a letter is wrong. If you're still stuck, a hint puts in the letter that helps most and tells you which other word it helps with.
