Word Cross
Word Cross is a crossword-style word puzzle built around connecting letters rather than filling in clues. Each board offers a small pool of letters and a crossword grid waiting to be completed, and every valid word found slots into place. A built-in dictionary explains unfamiliar words as they turn up, which makes the game as much a vocabulary builder as a puzzle. With over 6,000 levels, no timer, and no pressure, it's designed for unhurried play.
How to Play Word Cross
- Look over the letters available at the bottom of the board and the empty crossword grid above them.
- Swipe across letters to spell a word, then release to submit it.
- Valid words drop into their matching slots in the grid; invalid ones simply return the letters to the pool.
- Tap the dictionary entry on an unfamiliar word to read its definition.
- Fill every slot in the grid to clear the level. Use a hint or booster when a word won't come.
Tips & Strategy
- Count the empty squares in each slot first — knowing a word is exactly four letters narrows the options fast.
- Try every permutation of a promising letter group. Extra words beyond the required ones still bank bonus credit.
- Save hints for genuinely obscure words; most boards yield to patient rearranging.
