Mini Crossword

How to play

1. Select a clue or white square, then type letters or use the on-screen keyboard. Crossing words share their letters; black squares stay empty.
2. Select the active square again, use the direction control, or press Space to switch Across and Down. Arrow keys move between squares; Backspace erases and moves backward within the word.
3. Tab advances through clues and leaves the grid after the last clue. Shift+Tab goes backward; Escape leaves the grid for its action controls.
4. Undo edit or Ctrl/Cmd+Z reverses a local edit; Clear word erases the selected entry, including its crossing letters. Submit the grid for verification, then edit and submit again until every white square is correct.
5. A fully correct submitted grid completes the puzzle. Unsubmitted letters are a browser draft when storage is available; submitting saves the submitted grid.

Checking your grid
