Today's grid
can you fill the grid?
№ 1Gridly is a free daily mini crossword. Everyone gets the same 5×5 grid each day, with short words of three to five letters running across and down. Each word has one short, plain clue, and where an across word crosses a down word they share a letter.
Tap a square to choose it, and tap it again to switch between across and down. The clue for the word you're on shows under the grid, and the arrows step through the clues. Type with the keyboard. When every square is filled, press Check. Each Check uses one of your six tries: squares with wrong letters are crossed out in red so you can fix them, and the right letters stay. Pressing Check with empty squares never counts. Every grid was filled by a search over a word list we clued by hand, and checked so that each across and down entry is a real word with its own clue. Grids are a little easier from Monday to Thursday.
Solve it on your first Check for 12 points, then 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 for Checks two to six. The helper fills in one correct letter, chosen where an across and a down word cross, but it halves the day's score and is only available before your third Check.
Your play streak counts the days in a row you've played, and your solved streak counts the days in a row you've solved the puzzle. Play seven days running and you earn a 7-point bonus, or 14 points if you solved all seven. Miss a day and the streaks start again. A new puzzle arrives every day at midnight UTC.
