How it works

From a single word to a finished grid.

No spreadsheets, no clue-writing, no waiting. Three taps and you're solving.

01

Name your topic

Type anything — a band, a decade, a branch of science, an inside joke. If you can name it, CrossIQ can clue it.

02

We set the puzzle

We pick the answer words, write real crossword clues, and interlock them into a proper across-and-down grid — usually in under thirty seconds.

03

Solve & share

Fill it in, lock each word, finish the grid. Publish it to the community and watch other solvers take it on.
